The Sky In A Time Of Storms

This meditation drops you deep into the Witness/Source/Nonduality, where all the painful and seemingly disruptive feelings and sensations can be lovingly held and transmuted. It's a time of intensity--of revolution and upheaval, and exposure of our personal and collective pain. Rest as the sky that is never harmed by the storms.

Welcome,

Everyone.

Please be comfortable,

Listen to your body and how you'd like to sit or lay down or stand or walk.

Take a moment to just listen to the body and let the body lead.

Whatever feels comfortable and easy.

And whatever feels comfortable and easy as we go through the meditation,

It may change.

You may want to sit or lay down or start walking and let the whole meditation be easy.

No effort here.

We'll start and the simplest thing in the world to be aware of awareness itself.

There's a pure subjectivity,

A witnessing behind everything,

Before everything,

Before thought,

After thought,

That which feels everything,

That which receives it all,

Receives all of life,

Is a witnessing consciousness that permeates all of life.

It's not located in the body.

It's before the body.

So the body comes and goes and thoughts come and go,

But this pure awareness remains.

And right now we're just going to be aware of this awareness.

Just look around from inside it,

Witnessing,

Witnessing itself.

And as we look inside ourselves,

This pure witnessing,

Notice that there aren't any boundaries.

You can feel deep inside your chest,

But you can also feel through your chest.

Awareness goes everywhere.

It is everywhere.

Feel the insides of your hands and then feel through the hands,

Through the nail beds.

Feel the insides of your feet and then through the feet.

Feel from inside the chest,

Through the chest and the back,

Through the spine,

All the way to the back walls of your home and all the way through the walls out into the street.

There's no boundary to you.

You remain witnessing.

You remain the experiencing of it all.

And then you have a unique body this time around to feel through.

And this body is actually your favorite.

You chose them.

But the body is not where your consciousness is located.

Your consciousness is located everywhere,

In everything.

And it always will be.

You don't lose consciousness.

You don't lose experiencing.

You don't lose witnessing.

You don't lose life.

Nor does anyone.

So remaining is this pure subjectivity,

This pure witnessing.

Let's feel all through the chest.

There's going to be pain.

There's going to be little seeming walls.

There's going to be cloudy parts.

There's going to be a chatty mind,

Which just means you're onto something.

It just means come closer to wherever you were in the chest.

It's just a distraction technique,

But the closer you get inside your own body,

Inside your own being,

The more alive you become.

You're bringing life itself inside.

You're bringing you inside.

You're inhabiting your home,

Which is all you're meant to do.

Just inhabit this home.

Show up for yourself.

So show up for your whole chest.

Feel the heart.

Feel the sternum.

Feel the spine.

Feel the lungs.

Feel your brokenheartedness.

Feel your aches.

Feel where it feels empty or dense or cloudy or like a black hole.

None of it's a problem.

Just show up and feel it.

Show up and sense it.

Show up and really see it,

Feel it.

Not indulge the story.

There may be stories about the sensations,

But right now we're just talking about the sensations.

Feel your chest.

Very simple.

Feel through the skin.

Feel through the bones.

Feel every rib.

Feel every piece of tissue.

Feel into the cells,

Even if you can do that.

Feel into the energy body.

There's a vast energetic network weaved through our whole body and beyond,

Connected to everything.

See if you can feel that.

See if you can feel the electromagnetic pulse of your chest.

You can't know it mentally,

But you can feel it.

You can feel that you're much bigger and you might be able to see it much bigger,

Much brighter than whatever your story is.

Feel your chest really expand.

Feel the chest expand out into the energy body.

Feel like your chest is five times bigger than its form,

Because it actually is.

And making sure to feel all the way to the center of the chest and deep,

Deep,

Deep inside the bones and the organs,

Right inside the heart itself,

The tissues of the lungs,

And then all the way out through the skin and out,

Out,

Out,

Out.

Just playing with that a little bit,

Feeling it all.

And it doesn't matter if the mind chats along,

It doesn't matter at all.

Still the sensation is here,

Still the consciousness can be aware of so much more inside the chest,

So much more in the back of the chest and inside the spine and beyond.

You're filling yourself out,

Energetically,

Spiritually,

You're just showing up.

Then let's do the same thing with the shoulders,

The arms and the neck,

Really feeling you're deeply inhabited.

Feel the bigness of the neck,

Feel deep inside the spine and the neck and the throat itself.

Wherever there's little pockets you don't usually feel,

Go ahead and go there.

Awareness,

Just pure subjectivity,

Feeling inside yourself,

You expand yourself.

You're bringing God and Goddess right inside the house.

You,

Your body,

Is God's house,

Goddess's house.

The earth is God's house.

We're going to bring God,

Source,

You,

Pure consciousness,

Back to earth.

We have to start with ourselves.

Feel your neck and your shoulders is just enormous,

Because they are,

There's a whole field,

Your throat chakra,

Well beyond the skin,

All around,

360 degrees around.

Backs of the shoulders,

Arms are enormous,

The hands are enormous,

Energetically feel your hands.

Let's go up to the head and do the same.

Here's this pure subjectivity,

Pure witnessing,

Pure consciousness.

Let it completely infuse through the whole head.

It's an infusion.

Your consciousness is like a fine mist that just infuses the whole head,

All through the skull,

All through the hair follicles,

The skin and the brain.

The whole face melted from this infusion,

Feeling inside every little crevice of the face,

Behind the face,

Deep inside the head,

And all through the face and all through the skin,

Through the bones of the face.

Let's feel the whole skull just melt with this infusion,

The whole brain liquefying and turning to mist,

The whole back of the head liquefying,

The whole skull soft and open,

Mist,

Made into mist.

The jaw,

The chin,

Where the chin meets the neck,

The throat,

The back of the throat,

The back of the tongue,

The teeth and the lips and the roof of the mouth.

Infuse your whole head with you,

Not with any effort.

It just does it.

And it's okay if the mind is chatty.

It's okay.

No matter what is going on,

You can still feel the sensation.

You,

Pure subjectivity,

Pure witnessing,

Can show up for this body,

Can feel every little tender part that's been neglected.

Feel deep inside your own ears,

All the senses awakened with this loving attention.

And the very,

Very top of the head just turns to mist.

Open it right up.

Feel the top of the head open and then feel about a foot above your head and then another foot and another foot and another foot.

Put your attention way above the head now.

And put your attention way beyond the front of the face and the back of the head,

Two or three feet out.

Feel your whole energetic form.

You're a radiant,

Radiant being.

And you can feel your whole radiance,

Your energy body that is really,

Really big and connected to the rest of life,

All of the earth and sky.

So we often don't feel it.

So just now,

Feel the energetic imprint,

The energetic sense beyond the skin and even beyond the three feet,

Five feet,

10,

20 feet.

And again,

Through the walls,

Out into the street,

Out into the trees,

There's no point at which there's a break.

Never,

Ever,

Ever have you been separate.

Beautiful.

And then just coming into the chest again and down into the solar plexus and the belly.

You can really feel your belly.

Feel the whole solar plexus,

The whole belly,

The belly button,

The back of the belly,

Mid-back,

The spine there.

So you can let the whole belly be nice and soft.

And feel all the sensation in there.

Maybe nausea,

Maybe achiness,

Maybe sharp pain.

Maybe it's really dull and blank.

See if you can go right inside the belly.

You can inhabit all those organs.

See if you can feel the fire in your belly.

It might be a small fire,

But there's fire there.

There's energy there.

It's the furnace.

It's where we're transitioning all of our food into energy,

Pure energy.

You can stoke the fire,

Stoke the furnace by just putting awareness there.

Feeling your belly and then feeling the lower portion of the belly into the intestines and then into the pelvis.

Feel deep,

Deep,

Deep inside the belly,

Deep inside the intestines,

Top of the hips,

Coming into the middle of the pelvis,

The pelvic girdle,

The hip joints,

The sit bones.

Feel like you're really,

Really settled deep in the lower belly.

And then from inside the lower belly,

Really whatever you feel there is perfect,

Even if it's very painful or kind of numb.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter what you find.

It's all welcome in awareness.

And awareness will stoke the fire.

So feel all your belly into your pelvis,

All the way up into the solar plexus.

And let it be so open and sort of like letting the fire burn there.

So that everything's burning through the belly,

Burning through the pelvis,

Burning through the mid-back and the spine in the mid-back,

Down into the lower vertebrae,

Burning,

Burning,

Burning,

Opening up the whole area,

Opening up all the way up to the solar plexus so that your whole belly,

From top to bottom and into the pelvis,

Feels so open,

Strong in its energy and vibrant,

But not tucked into itself,

Not hiding away,

Not numbed out,

But not tucked into itself,

Not hiding away,

Not numbed out,

Alive,

Moving,

Energized.

It's like a bright sun in your belly.

And that bright sun goes into this really rich light of your pelvis.

The rich reds and dark oranges inside your pelvis of that root chakra intensity.

Feel your tailbone,

Feel through your tailbone.

Feel those lower vertebrae and how they connect to the tailbone.

Feel the fire of your own sexual organs,

The whole pelvis.

And feel how it's way beyond the pelvis,

That it has an energetic signature that goes down through the tailbone,

Down into the ground.

It goes out behind your hips.

It goes out in front of your pubic bone.

It goes all,

Swirls all through the pelvis.

Be not afraid of anything you feel.

It all happens inside of you.

All the sensation happens inside of consciousness.

It would be like the ocean being afraid of the waves.

There's lots of waves inside the pelvis.

There's lots of waves inside the pelvis.

Feel the waves.

There's lots of waves inside the pelvis.

There's lots of waves as you come into the legs.

Feel all the waves of feeling there.

A wave of pain maybe in your pelvis.

A wave of sharp pain in your legs or dull aches.

Or restlessness.

All of it allowed.

All of it just waves in the ocean.

And you're the ocean.

Feel inside the legs and through them.

Feel inside the muscles and the bones in the legs and through them.

Through the skin out into your clothes and then out into the room.

Feel behind your knees.

Feel your ankles and your feet.

Feel all that energy of the feet.

The bones of the feet.

The swirling energy.

Because bones are made of energy.

Everything is made of energy.

And then through the feet.

Through the toes.

Through the bones.

Through the skin.

Out,

Out,

Out,

Out,

Out.

Great.

And then adjust your body however you want.

But let's feel through the whole body now.

So this vast endless witnessing subjectivity.

This witness themselves are going to witness the whole body.

All this energy swirling.

All this radiance.

Pain and flow and ache and elation and whatever we want.

We don't have to call it anything.

Certainly let's not call any of it good or bad.

Let it all just be.

All this sensation.

All this richness.

Flowing richness.

No matter what it is.

It's here.

It's welcome to be here.

It's here.

Let it all be here.

Fully,

Fully,

Fully felt.

Every little corner of the body.

And all the way through the body into several feet beyond.

Feeling the pulse of your whole energy body.

Letting awareness just flow through the whole body.

You don't begin and end.

It's a field.

It's a field in the endless field of witnessing consciousness.

It's a wave form.

Your body.

Your energy body.

Inside the ocean.

Among and between the ocean.

The ocean is the main body and then we have this energy body moving inside of it.

Moving with it.

Moving with it is a little more like it.

It's not really inside as if there's a container and then the thing inside of it,

The container.

What's inside the container is part and parcel of the container.

So feel the waving flow of the energy and feel how it's inside this larger quote-unquote container.

And really keep seeing that you're the container that holds all this sensation.

And you don't have any problem with any of it.

You don't have any problem with any of it.

You are always still and attentive and endless and loving and undisturbed.

The ocean isn't disturbed by the waves.

The sky isn't disturbed by storms.

Right now on the planet,

As there always have been,

But it's particularly acute right now.

There are a lot of energetic storms.

There are many people in pain.

There is disruption and revolution.

And horrific,

Scary things.

But you and we all are this witnessing first.

And everyone who's ever gone through anything,

Horrific or peaceful,

Is also this same primary piece,

This same witness,

This same unperturbed sky.

The body might be perturbed.

The body might be in pain.

The body might be significantly traumatized.

And the witnessing remains undisturbed.

This is not about detaching.

The waves are very much attached to the ocean,

You could say.

The storms are very much part of the sky.

But the sky isn't harmed.

And it is good to know that in witnessing others' pain or witnessing your own pain.

Same,

Same.

What is that pain being witnessed by?

Rest there.

And then when you rest there,

Which is not to say be uninvolved or detached,

But it is to attend to the attentiveness.

It is to not buy in to the story,

The dramatic story.

It is to radiate God,

Peace,

Clear sky,

Still ocean.

It is to radiate that into the world.

It is to channel that into the world.

It is to be that beaming light of God,

Goddess or stillness.

Vastness,

Peacefulness.

It is to be a lighthouse.

It is to be a lighthouse for your own pain and for others' pain.

It is the same pain.

So right now being the lighthouse to your own pain.

Letting all of it dissolve in you.

Letting your whole body be witnessed by you.

And know that you are beaming that into the world.

You become a lighthouse to others.

There's nothing special about it.

There's nothing difficult about it.

It's always available.

Pure subjectivity is always here.

Pure subjectivity is always here.

And often people find it at the heart of their tragedy.

So when you find yourself captivated by stories about others' pain,

It's not that you need to turn away,

But go to that which holds the pain.

Go to that which sees the pain.

Let that be the thing that touches the pain,

Not a story.

Let that be what holds your broken heart and lets the heart break wide open.

Here is this vast sky,

Awareness of you.

And here is this beautiful body.

And the body of Earth and the body of other people all being witnessed by you.

Continue to lovingly witness.

Continue to show up.

But without your story.

Show up as this pure consciousness,

Just like this.

Showing up in every corner of the body,

Just like that.

And when others' pain is felt by you,

It's felt here,

It's held here in your own consciousness.

You can take it.

You don't even have to take it.

You don't even have to hold it.

It just gets to be here.

Heartbreak,

Okay.

All of it,

Okay.

You feel sick,

Okay.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

So feel how this pure,

Unconditionally loving womb of consciousness permeates your whole body,

Permeates your whole room,

Permeates your whole neighborhood,

Permeates the whole world.

It reaches across continents.

It reaches deep into the Earth.

It reaches up into the sky.

And the more you are aware of you,

The more that signal,

The more that message,

The more that light is transmitted.

You're a transmitter after all.

If you transmit peace,

That is the best thing you can do for those currently not experiencing it,

Currently not in touch with the peace of their own witness,

Same witness,

Same witness there,

Same witness here.

And they have just as much access.

We all have just as much access.

Easier said than experienced,

But it's true.

You can verify that right now.

You can see,

Yes,

This consciousness is always here,

And it's always vast,

And it's always holding me.

And of course it's the same for them.

You realizing that,

You feeling that,

You beaming that,

Is an important,

Important gift.

It's the only thing you can do.

And then when you move from this vastness,

When you act,

So to speak,

From this vastness,

It's all very different.

There's no fight in you.

It's not a fight anymore.

The fight is over.

There's no fight.

God doesn't fight herself.

Be the peace.

Be this restful,

Peaceful vastness that you always are,

And you'll help people hear it,

Feel it,

Be reminded of it.

Let's just do one more wash through the whole body.

You can feel where there's a little bit of clog,

Or a little bit of density or pain.

Let's take that vast ocean of awareness and wash through wherever in the body still feels a bit tight.

And let the whole body dissolve into the sky of you.

And may we all remember this.

May we all dissolve into our true self.

Remember that there's just one of us.

One body,

One family.

As you open your eyes in your own time,

And kind of reacclimate to the 3D world,

Please notice that none of this goes away.

Sky consciousness,

Ocean consciousness,

You are still vast.

You are still vast.

And all seeming disruptions are just waves in the ocean.

They aren't disruptions at all.

And any wave of feeling can be fully met.

I promise it's not a problem.

So you don't need to be in a meditative state.

You can be walking around at the grocery store,

Talking with your family,

Seeing a friend,

Going on a walk,

And this ocean of you is available to swim in anytime.
