Hello,
This is Davida from Mahi Meditation.
And this meditation focuses on becoming your own source of love that we often seek in someone else or in other external circumstances.
When we are participating in the game of life,
Love and dating,
It can be tough to feel like you are staying centered when you meet someone that you feel drawn to.
I have definitely been there myself.
And while it is fun and exciting to meet someone who challenges you and dares you to love and expose yourself,
It is also scary.
Do we play it cool or do we open up fully and show all of our insecurities as soon as possible?
Often questions such as do we show how much we are interested and would the other person reciprocate our feelings if we do it like that quickly arise?
Even if we are in a longer term relationship and have passed the realms of dating,
We can oftentimes feel as if we are thrown off balance by sharing so much time and energy with our partner.
A feeling may creep up of wanting too much while the other person might not be able to facilitate.
Or maybe you are on the other side of the spectrum and feel like you are needed too much and you want to establish more autonomy but are not sure where to even start.
Well,
I am here to tell you it all starts from within.
This meditation is designed to help you rebalance your center by exploring what it is that we are seeking outside of ourselves and help it bring back home.
This does not have to mean that you lose interest in the other person but it will bring you back into your own balanced center of love from which you can express and give love without feeling like you are chasing after something outside of yourself or giving too much away.
The mind can trail us down many paths and confusions on how to act,
What to say and when to respond,
Especially when we are the sensitive type that quickly cares about the person they are with.
We can suddenly have the feeling of giving a lot of power away but are equally propelled to do so as we realize that we want this person around.
This chasing of something outside of ourselves is,
Quite frankly,
Exactly the point where we start to feel insecure.
This is because we want something that we don't have and we put it in someone else's hands to meet that.
But what if we can create some sort of fulfillment that we seek externally on the inside?
In this way the other person becomes a complement to our life and not a necessity.
We can comfortably step into love instead of feeling like we fall in love without control.
Find a moment of peace,
Preferably lying down on your back in a place where you are comfortable.
Make yourself as relaxed and at ease as you can facilitate.
Close your eyes and let your bones settle down.
Sink them into gravity.
No matter how much you release,
Gravity has got your back,
Literally.
As this is the case,
We might as well fully let go into the ground below.
On the inhale we replenish our bodies with fresh oxygen and on the exhale we allow the sinking into the earth below.
Inhale the air and exhale the release.
Physically there is nothing you need to hold on to anymore.
Let go.
Let go.
Now,
By using the power of your mind and its imagination,
Place your focus on the person that you feel drawn towards at this moment or have felt drawn to in a not too distant past.
Next to firstly seeing them in their outward appearance,
Take a moment to feel into what it is about their energy that draws you in towards them.
Or maybe it's the feeling that you want to create between you two.
This can come in many shapes.
Maybe you want to invite more individuality or maybe you are drawn to the other person's ambition,
Their attitude,
Their courage.
Let these words of description come naturally to you as they will.
If it's multiple things,
Wonderful,
Remember them.
Let them reverberate.
I will now give you a short moment to see what qualities arise within you.
What comes up for you?
What kind of energy do you want to draw more towards you?
Stay with these words.
I will soon be silent for a few minutes and my invitation that I'm extending to you is to take these words that came up for you.
So what would you like and what attracts you?
Take their representation and from there imagine bringing the energy connected to it towards yourself to within.
Imagine the integration of the energy and how it feels when you embody it yourself,
Reverberating it through your cells and into your core.
If there are multiple words that came up,
Make sure to take your time with each word and its energy to feel it fully and embody it fully even if just for a short while.
The sound bowl will indicate the start and the end of the meditation.
Remember that you can always come back to the breath if your mind takes you to the past or to the future.
Just return to the breath and then return to the embodying.
The sound bowl will indicate the start and the end of the meditation.
Slowly you become more aware of your entire body,
The small sensations.
The clothes or the blanket that touches you or the place on which you sit or lie on.
Becoming aware of the space around you.
But still staying with the qualities that you've just invited into your own energy.
Welcome back.
As we are closing this meditation now,
I want to remind you of one more thing.
You see,
Whatever we invite into our lives can be used as a mirror to see what it is that we actually want or need more of.
When it comes to love and how common it is to lose yourself in love,
This is especially the case.
But you have the power to become your own anchor,
Your own center and your own source.
So you can give without giving away and receive without clinging onto.
May you find peace and wisdom within.
Namaste.
