Morning Meditation Embracing Inner Strength Reflections on the Poem Within Me by Albert Camus Good morning and welcome to this sacred space of reflection and empowerment.
Today we will meditate on the profound strength and resilience found in the words of the poem Within Me by Albert Camus.
Find a comfortable position,
Either sitting or lying down.
Where you can be at ease.
Gently close your eyes.
And take in a deep breath,
Allowing the fresh morning air to fill your lungs.
And then slowly exhale,
Releasing any tension or stress.
As you begin to settle into this moment,
Feel the connection of your body to the earth below you.
And take your attention to your abdomen.
Feeling the breath come in and then leave the body.
And feeling the sensations of rising on the in-breath.
And falling on the out-breath.
With each breath,
Feel yourself becoming more present,
More grounded,
And more open to the strength and beauty within you.
Listen to these powerful words from Within Me.
And let them resonate within you.
In the midst of hate,
I found there was,
Within me,
An invincible love.
In the midst of tears,
I found there was,
Within me,
An invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos,
I found there was,
Within me,
An invincible calm.
In the midst of winter,
I found there was,
Within me,
An invincible summer.
And that makes me happy,
For it says that,
No matter how hard the world pushes against me,
Within me,
There is something stronger,
Something better,
Pushing right back.
Within me,
There is something stronger,
Something better,
Pushing right back.
Take a moment now to connect with the invincible love within you.
Even in the face of hate,
Feel the warmth and strength of this love.
Silently say to yourself,
Within me,
There is an invincible love.
Reflect on the ability to find a smile,
Even amid tears.
This smile is a testament to your inner strength and resilience.
Silently affirm,
Within me,
There is an invincible smile.
Acknowledge the calm within you,
Even when surrounded by chaos.
This inner calm is your anchor,
Grounding you in peace.
Silently say to yourself,
Within me,
There is an invincible calm.
Feel the warmth of an invincible summer within you,
Even during the coldest winters of your life.
This inner summer represents hope and renewal,
This inner summer represents hope and renewal.
Silently affirm,
Within me,
There is an invincible summer.
Understand that no matter how hard the world pushes against you,
There is something stronger within you that pushes back.
This resilience is your true power.
Silently say to yourself,
Within me,
There is something stronger pushing right back.
As we come to the end of this meditation,
Take a few more deep breaths.
Anchoring yourself in this feeling of inner strength and invincibility.
When you're ready,
Gently open your eyes,
Carrying this sense of empowerment and resilience with you into your day.
And remember the words of within me,
And remember the words of within me,
No matter how hard the world pushes against me,
Within me,
There is something stronger,
Something better pushing right back.
May your day be filled with strength,
Love and the unshakable belief in your own resilience.
Have a beautiful and powerful day.
