Hello and welcome to Reconnect Daily,
A space for you to be with yourself,
To slow down and reconnect into your present moment,
Your present state of being,
Where you can become the witness to your experience as well as being the experiencer.
We live in a world that has conditioned us to a pace of urgency and rush,
A relentless pursuit of progress,
Expansion,
Achievement,
A climb upon the ladder of hierarchy,
Linear,
Mechanistic.
This is not true reality,
All you have to do is turn to nature,
To your own nature,
To remember there is no such hierarchy,
That time is cyclical and rhythmic and can be slowed by intention alone.
Today's practice,
Today's meditation is focused upon remembering the formulas that flows within you.
This is easy,
It's not hard,
All you have to do is follow the guidance of my voice,
It does not require thinking,
It doesn't require feeling,
It requires nothing from you other than being here,
Listening and receiving this formless space,
This emptiness.
This is where creation began,
This is where creation ends,
This is that empty space in which form arises,
Where life is birthed and where life eventually returns.
Just following my voice and you'll find already that your breath has slowed,
That there is a calmness washing through you moment by moment as you let go and surrender to these moments.
It is not hard,
It is easy,
If you find yourself absorbed by your mind,
Simply take a step back and watch,
Watch as the thought arises from emptiness,
Observe the thought,
Watch the thought transform itself before your eyes along its path,
Along the thought's journey as it's allowed to transform with no resistance until eventually that thought disappears and dissolves back into emptiness.
Perhaps another thought comes,
Perhaps it does not,
Just listening to my voice,
Slowing,
Just you here in your body breathing on a planet shared with millions and millions of other life forms,
All breathing the same air,
Drinking the same water,
Closing our eyes to the same sun,
Sharing our pain and our secrets with the same moon,
Sitting in wonder under the same stars,
Just noticing your breath,
Notice the way that it enters your body,
Notice the path it takes,
Notice the way your breath leaves your body,
Transformed,
Changed,
Returning,
Breath in,
Breath out,
Breath in,
Breath out,
Breath in,
Breath out,
All is well,
You can let go to those final things that you may be clutching onto deeper down in the conscious mind,
Right at the base layer,
Those last little to-dos or reminders,
Ideas,
You can let them go,
You can trust that they'll still be there on the other side of this moment,
And now notice your body,
Breathe into the sensations,
Noticing if there's anywhere that it's holding,
Clutching,
Tight,
Intense,
Worried,
Just softly tell your body,
It's okay,
We're safe,
We can let go for these moments,
We can trust this present moment,
Right here,
Right now,
And soften,
All is well,
You are safe,
Breath in,
Breath out,
Slowing,
Stretching each second,
Feeling the expansion from the inside out,
Breath in,
Breath out,
How beautiful to remember the pace of our natural self,
The space created it,
When you put down the urgency,
When you recognize the fear that runs through you every day,
That there's not enough time,
That you're falling behind,
There is no behind,
There is no measurement to live to,
God does not hold your scorecard in his hand,
Just returning now to that emptiness,
The silence,
A space deep inside of you,
Emptiness,
Everything is birthed from the silence,
All life arrives from emptiness,
Love is birthed in darkness,
This silent formless space,
The divine,
Goddess,
Spirit,
Mother,
Father,
God,
Spirit,
Creation,
Creator,
Formless,
Emptiness,
Silence,
Space,
Breath in,
Breath out,
Breath in,
Breath out,
There are 7 billion souls,
Human souls,
On this planet,
And therefore there are 7 billion different ways to experience a life,
Not one is better than or worse than the other,
We just get to touch one another's lives in the great web of our existence,
There is a life that wants to move through you,
And that life speaks from your soul when it is quiet enough,
That life whispers to you through the spirit in the leaves,
Through the wise woman in the waves,
Through the grandfather trees,
There is no rush,
All is well,
Taking a nice full and gentle breath,
Filling the belly,
Feeling the space created,
And then letting that breath go with a nice long exhale,
Landing,
Arriving fully into your body,
Breath in,
Breath out,
Breath in,
Breath out,
I am basking in the glorious purity of the morning sun,
There are cherry blossoms dancing and swirling all around my being,
Life feels divine,
Golden,
Blissful,
Peaceful,
My heart is open,
Beaming,
Wave after wave after wave of love and gratitude for my existence,
For the experience of being alive.
