Lay or sit in a comfortable position with your back straight or perhaps leaning against a pillow or the wall.
Just allow your body to begin to sink in and feel supported by the chair,
The bed,
The floor,
The grass,
Wherever you are.
Just ground in whatever is making contact with the floor.
Just sink in and feel yourself being supported.
Now take a deep breath in and breathe out.
And again,
Taking another deep breath in,
Hold and when you exhale,
Allow your shoulders to drop down.
The muscles,
Tension in your neck just to begin to let go.
Release and really surrender to your body.
And surrender to whatever is holding you.
Feel yourself heavy,
Allow yourself to feel heavy.
Allow yourself to be held,
To be carried,
To be supported.
And I'm going to use first person,
I am,
Because what you say to yourself is the most important thing,
The most important thing that you'll ever hear.
If you wish,
You can repeat this out loud,
Repeat it in your head,
Or you can just allow your mind to drift as you just relax and stay within your body and within your internal state.
I want you to hear the truth and allow it to sink into the deepest parts of who you are.
Knowing what is true for yourself behind the thoughts,
Behind the false beliefs,
Behind what we've been told to believe,
The truth should resonate with you when you hear.
I am powerful.
I am beautiful.
I am brilliant and I am magnificent.
I trust myself.
I allow new ideas,
New perspective,
New energy to flow to me easily.
I know that what I ask,
I receive.
What I seek,
I find.
That when I knock,
Doors are opened for me.
And so I stay in flow.
I stay open.
I know that the pure,
Positive,
Creative energy that flows within me now is always with me,
Communicating with me through the way I feel,
Communicating with me through my experiences,
My thoughts,
Through words.
I stay in a receiving,
Open and allowing state in anticipation of the brilliance,
The answers,
The doors.
I pay attention to how I feel knowing that this is a phenomenal guidance system that was gifted to me to move me into the direction of my desires,
To help pivot me,
To help position me to where I need to go.
And so I pay attention to the way I feel about things.
I seek to go deeper into myself and understand what is true.
I recognize that I am special.
I am unique.
I am good.
I am well.
And I recognize that all people are good,
Special,
Unique,
And well.
That every moment is a gift.
It is a present from the universe.
So I seek to remain present,
Accepting the gift.
I recognize the goodness in others.
I recognize that there is no wrong,
For all of creation has been called good.
But I seek to understand the misunderstood.
I seek to remain open to understanding more,
Understanding further,
Understanding deeper.
And using the words in the prayer of St.
Francis,
I seek to be an instrument of peace,
To be an instrument of love.
Where there is hatred,
I sow peace and love.
Where there is injury,
I sow pardon.
Where there is doubt,
I sow faith.
And where there is despair,
I sow hope.
Where there is darkness,
I sow light.
And where there is sadness,
I sow joy.
And I don't seek so much to be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
And in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And in dying that we are born to eternal life.
And so it is.
So I let go of the need to control others.
I let go of the need to monitor or manipulate behavior.
I seek only to sow what I want to reap.
And I recognize that by calling something wrong,
I'm denying the truth that lies beneath.
I focus on my thoughts,
Knowing that they are creative,
My feelings,
Knowing that they manifest.
And I ensure that my thoughts,
My feelings come from the basis of love,
Because love accepts,
Love soothes,
Love heals,
Love accepts.
And on this basis,
I know that the only prayer I need to make is of thankfulness,
Because I've sown my love,
I've sown my peace,
I've sown my understanding and my healing throughout the world,
Throughout my family,
And those I loved.
And so I simply appreciate the truth,
The goodness,
The love that lies beneath.
Because I know that healing is on its way,
It's here,
It's developing now,
That peace is growing,
Manifesting.
I have planted the seeds.
And I don't try to be the seed,
I don't try to force anything,
I don't try to make it happen before it's time.
The gestation period is different for every seed.
And so I am simply thankful.
I am thankful that as I knocked it will be opened,
Because I sought it I will find,
And because I've asked I will receive.
So I relax,
I allow,
And most importantly I play.
Because I was meant to be here,
To play,
To enjoy,
To be happy.
And I continue to sow and I continue to knock.
But once I do,
I just allow myself to enjoy this moment and this gift.
I recognize that for so long I prohibited myself from this gift that continued to give to me every second,
Every millisecond of the day.
But I don't waste it anymore.
I feel gratitude,
Love pouring into my heart and every part of my body now.
And I appreciate and enjoy.
And I forgive myself for all of the missed moments,
All of the moments of unappreciation for this gift.
I forgive myself.
And in the same way I forgive others who were so lost just like me,
Not understanding the beauty,
The goodness that has been so evident in every second of my life.
Because from this moment forward I will acknowledge and celebrate the beauty and full appreciation of all of life.
I remain in full gratitude,
Full love.
And now I watch this beautiful light and energy begin to radiate out.
And without me trying,
Without me wanting,
Desiring,
I just see this light radiate throughout my entire community,
My home,
My city,
My country,
The world.
And it just does because love is expansive.
The more I focus on this love,
The more it grows and expands and radiates out.
And I accept that this is who I am.
Beneath all the lies and beneath all the things that I still need to unlearn,
I recognize the truth that I am love,
I am light,
And this is who I am.
And in stillness I can feel my truth.
And as I go about my day I will radiate with my truth and love.
Thank you for meditating with me.
My name is Mira Lane.
