Spiritual masters of many traditions teach that there are only two sources for all thought,
Feeling,
And action.
One is love,
The other is fear.
We're all transmitters and receivers of sorts transmitting one energy or the other and receiving one energy or the other,
Often both,
Often involuntarily through what we consume,
The people that were around,
The things that we read and what we listen to.
This meditation is about practicing intentionality and choosing more love and releasing fear.
We're all energetic beings and both those sources are energy that either inspire us or compel us to do things that are in our highest good or something else.
There is a source of infinite love,
Capital S for source,
L for love.
Some use the word God,
Others Allah,
Buddha nature.
The name matters not.
We master what we practice.
This meditation is about practicing our inner ability to be vessels for love,
To release the energies of fear such as anxiety,
Egotism,
Resentment,
Obsession,
Hopelessness,
Weakness,
Separation,
Comparison,
And instead expand the energies of love,
Courage,
Forgiveness,
Equanimity,
Humility,
Inspiring strength,
And unity.
I've been practicing this meditation for over a month now and it's made such a positive difference in my life.
I hope that it brings that to you too as well.
So now I'd like to invite you to move into a posture conducive to meditation.
I recommend seated with an upright spine,
Hands in your lap,
Palms up,
And gently close the eyes.
Scent to yourself here and now with an intention to release distractions,
Thoughts,
Sensations.
For this time to focus on this practice beginning with a series of five relaxing full breaths deep into the belly with a pause between the inhale and the exhale.
Allowing these slow deep breaths to expand a sense of relaxation.
Allow the breath to return to its normal relaxed life-giving rhythm.
In your mind's eye,
Begin at the top of the head and slowly scan the body downward toward the toes.
Moving any energy of tension down toward the feet and out.
And again,
Begin at the top of the head.
Scan slowly downward,
Moving any tension out.
And one more scan from head toward the feet,
Moving any remnants of stress out.
Picture the area around your body as your auric field that extends out six inches from the body and is surrounded by a semi-permeable membrane that allows energies in and out.
See this surrounding you completely.
Your body and this auric membrane encompassing your physical self.
Relax the body,
Allowing the energy within the field to calm.
And silently repeat this affirmation,
I invite love to transcend fear.
I invite love to transcend fear.
I invite love to transcend fear.
And now picture the many energies in the body and the auric field as you affirm the release of all fear energies.
I release resentment.
I release anxiety.
I release egotism.
I release comparing.
I let go of obsession.
I let go of weakness.
And release any and all fear energies,
Thought patterns,
Old habits that come to you now.
Let them go.
And as you do,
See your auric field becoming clear and these energies leaving you like dark vapors of smoke.
And in this space left from these energies of fear that have now gone,
A firm expansion of the energies of love.
I invite the creative source of all to fill me with the energies of love.
Expand within me courage.
Grow my innate ability to forgive others and myself.
I invite equanimity.
I open to humility,
Knowing my very life is a gift.
Give me inspiring strength to meet difficulties in beautiful and lasting loving ways.
Show me the unity of all beings and all things.
In your mind's eye,
See your auric field filled with light and feel these qualities of loving energy growing within you.
Sense the emotional uplift,
The expansion of joy,
Your natural state.
These energies of loving kindness expand and seep out of your auric field,
Touching those around you,
Touching those who cross your mind.
Your loving presence with this practice brings healing to you and anyone you meet.
Know with certainty that you master what you practice.
You are a vessel.
You choose what you will fill this vessel with and spill forth on life around you.
Remember,
Your essence is love.
You are loved.
Your natural state is loving.
And at any time,
On any day,
You can ask the source of infinite love within you to fill you,
To show you this love that you may give it away.
With practice,
When fear arises,
You will grow the ability to transcend that within the body,
Surrounding it with healing,
Divine,
Infinite love.
Thank you for meditating with me and others,
Choosing to fill your vessel with these energies of love,
Releasing fear.
And as we bring this meditation toward its close,
Know that life is a gift and so are you.
Silently affirm this phrase in your mind and take it into your day.
When love expands,
Fear disappears.
When love expands,
Fear disappears.
When love expands,
Fear disappears.
