Hi,
This is Meg.
Thank you so much for coming into this guided meditation space,
Especially in this moment with the coronavirus spreading and there's so much fear and uncertainty.
I'm really thrilled that you wanted to join me in taking time to contribute to the healing of the planet and to our people in the midst of this global pandemic.
I also want to say that this meditation came to me after talking to a friend who was dealing with the virus and he said that it felt like there were stones on his chest,
That it was hard to breathe.
And so this guided meditation came through with spirit to assist in this moment.
So I invite you now,
If you haven't already,
To close your eyes and take a breath.
One more good deep breath and check in with your body first.
What does it feel like to be you in this moment?
Allowing whatever is true to be present,
Whether that's nervousness or relaxation tension,
Go ahead and just move around a little bit.
Open up your rib cage.
We're going to be focusing on breathing.
So make sure you're in a comfortable seated position.
There's no right or wrong way to do this.
You can lay down.
Just listen to what you need in this moment.
Maybe placing a hand on your heart and your belly.
Again,
Whatever feels good to you.
And we'll take a breath and enter into this sacred space.
Spirit,
Please guide us and walk with us as we journey into a space of healing and collective consciousness.
Beginning with a small light in your heart,
Allowing it to open and close,
Just like our breathing,
Expanding and contracting.
Notice if there's a color to that light.
Whatever feels good to you in this moment,
Allow it to open and close,
Expand and contract.
And as you breathe,
Invite that light to get a little bit bigger.
Starting to take up your whole chest now.
Taking up space,
Filling your lungs,
Feel them breathe and expand all the way open and feel them contract and pause.
Just again,
Breathing in your own rhythm.
And I want you to imagine in front of you,
Someone you love.
Maybe it's the whole planet.
Maybe it's a person who has contracted the virus and is dealing with this and it's personal.
Whatever feels right to you,
Place someone in front of you who you can send this love to directly.
And as you imagine them in front of you,
Again with that breathing,
Again with that light expanding and contracting in your heart space,
Send it forward,
Especially since we can't touch right now.
Sending your light to this person,
Connecting to their heart,
Connecting to them,
Allowing them to be where they are,
Noticing what this calming breath,
What this presence does to this being in front of you.
And for the sake of imagery,
I want you to imagine them holding stones,
Holding rocks over their chest and their lungs,
Seeing a tightness of breath,
Seeing a challenge space,
Seeing that there is something that you are being called to do in this moment.
And with your light,
I want you to walk over to them and very gently ask,
Is it okay if I take this from you?
Just breathe and listen.
And once you have their permission,
Take one of those stones from that pile.
And in this moment,
Notice that you are a helper,
You are a healer,
But you are not the final destination.
Place that on the earth at your feet and give it to the earth.
Notice that the earth mother can hold this with no problem.
She is made of stones,
She is made of soil,
She is made of breath and life energy and holding rocks for our humanness is something that she is totally equipped and able to do.
And so as you breathe,
Go back to this person in front of you and take another stone and maybe place it on the other side of them,
Reaching down onto the earth,
Placing it with gratitude.
And just allow yourself to feel whatever you're feeling in this moment.
Notice the empathy,
Notice the breath,
Notice the compassion and go back in and take another stone,
Take another heavy piece of this and give it to the earth.
You are helping but you are not the final destination.
You do not have to hold this weight.
Breathing with gratitude down onto the earth,
Maybe even imagine placing your hands there saying thank you.
Thank you,
Pacha Mama.
Thank you,
Mother Earth for holding this weight for us.
Thank you for supporting us and teaching us what it means to be present and breathe.
Go back to that person.
Take another stone one by one lightening the load,
Taking it down to the earth,
Placing it with gratitude.
Thank you for holding this.
Thank you for helping us.
Thank you for supporting us in this time.
Take a breath and just keep going.
See how many stones there are.
See what it feels like to take the weight away and off this person's chest,
Allowing yourself to be a part of but not all of the solution.
Breathing these stones onto the earth,
Noticing what you do with them naturally.
Do you place them in a circle?
Do they just roll away?
Just notice no right or wrong.
And as you continue to empty this person's hands of this weight off their chest,
Allowing them to breathe.
Continue to breathe yourself.
Notice that there is both action and breath.
Notice that you are part of the solution here,
Just by breathing and connecting and doing what is right in front of you,
Allowing the weight to go back to the earth to feel her support.
And now imagine taking that last stone from this person off of their chest out of their hands,
Giving it down to the earth,
Thanking her one more time for showing you how to let go of the weight of this experience.
And then standing in front of this person,
Your heart energy can now get there deeper.
Allow that stream to move through you towards them into their heart beaming that light of connection.
And imagine breathing at the same time and invite spirit in,
Whatever that means to you,
Inviting spirit in through the top of this person's head,
All the way to their heart,
Noticing down underneath them,
There is light from the earth,
From all of letting go of these stones of these boulders of this pain,
And allowing that light to come up and support them and again meet in the heart.
Breathing and filling their lungs now with this totally supported and connected light.
And while this is not a supplement for medical care,
This is a way for you to breathe and be connected to the people that you love the most,
To the strangers that need our help,
To the support of the earth itself,
Noticing how the trees breathe with the wind,
Gently releasing all that is around them.
Only responsible for breathing and being and that is the same for you in this moment.
Just breathe and be.
And as you send your heart light towards this person,
Notice that something fantastic starts to happen.
Their breath eases,
Their chest loosens,
Their feet feel more comfortable on the earth.
And their heart,
There's more space now for it to breathe,
For it to beam out as well and it comes back towards you,
Connecting to your heart,
Feeling that light,
Feeling that emotion,
Feeling that love and support coming towards you in the same way that you have given to this person,
To this earth.
Allow yourself to receive.
Just breathe.
And just before we go,
Place your hands either on your heart or on your belly and your heart feeling the balance of support and ease within you.
Breathe exactly where you are,
Whether there are tears streaming down your face or curl your lips up to a smile and allow that light,
That lightness of being to be exactly where you are right now,
Knowing that you are here to contribute and you are not alone.
You do not have to hold this by yourself.
We may be distant,
But we are still here,
Present and connected through spirit forever and always.
Take a breath.
With so much love and admiration for your courage and bravery,
Thank you for showing up in this moment today.
Come back anytime to this breath,
To this beam of light and to this support with so much love.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
