Good morning everyone.
Welcome.
My name is Monica and this is Meditations with Monica.
We're going to find ourselves in a comfortable position.
Maybe you're sitting,
Maybe you're lying.
Whatever you're comfortable,
Go ahead and make that sweet,
Comfortable nest right now.
The intention of today's meditation is to awaken.
To awaken.
Take another deep breath in through your nose.
Grounding yourself,
Opening your chest.
And slow and gentle out through your mouth.
Another deep breath in through your nose.
Noticing and finding any place inside your body where you may experience any kind of tension.
Any constriction.
Any part of you that doesn't want to let go.
Let's bring our awareness and our breath into that space right now.
Breathing into that tightness.
Very good.
And a long,
Slow exhale to bring ourselves deep into the center of the earth.
Imagining a golden cord that winds around,
Finding its way from your sacrum down,
Down,
Deep into the center of the earth.
Grounding yourself.
Supporting yourself.
Giving yourself exactly what you need at this time.
Notice if there's anything that has been weighing upon you.
Do a mind scan.
Are there thoughts that are not supporting you at this time?
Are there fears or concerns that are not supporting you at this time?
Imagine a gentle stream.
Large,
Beautiful leaves that seem to fold up as if to beckon your thoughts.
Allow those thoughts to simply flow.
Falling from your thoughts into the leaf and flowing down the stream.
They're not necessary at this time.
Allow them to flow through.
Noticing but not getting too attached to them.
Another deep breath in through your nose.
Expanding the space around your heart and your chest.
And releasing.
This is your time.
We come together.
We breathe together.
We recognize inside of ourselves together those things that serve us and those things that do not.
It's time now for you to awaken.
What seed has been planted in the depths of your soul that is ready to be watered?
That is ready to receive the light and nourishment from the sun?
That is ready to awaken?
Here is an ancient story of the planting of a bamboo seed.
For three years you spend time cultivating the soil,
Nurturing the seed that's hidden beneath the soil,
Watering it,
Sunning it,
Turning it,
Sending it your positive intentions.
Knowing not whether it will grow and flourish,
Whether it will make its way to the surface.
And yet this seed,
Although appearing to lie dormant,
Is gathering all the universal information it needs to grow.
And then one beautiful morning,
It pops through the soil with a mighty gusto.
And up it grows over the next three months to nearly a hundred feet tall.
From something invisible to the eye,
It grows to a mighty height.
What seed is inside of you?
What seed is gathering its idea,
Gathering its strength,
Gathering its unique qualities and capabilities?
And when and only when it is ready to awaken,
It will do so.
And what if today's the day?
Another deep breath in.
And long and slow exhale,
Today is your day to awaken.
What is it that is awakening within?
What seed of an idea has been planted,
Has been waiting,
Has been gestating?
Wuthering the necessary information,
The necessary wisdom,
The necessary practice.
Just in time to awaken.
Another deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
The earth has come long,
Long before,
Planting many of its seeds,
Growing its children,
Growing its plants,
Growing its flowers,
Enriching the soil with the wisdom and the knowing of what it is intended for.
Those seeds long ago have taken root and have painted the canvas of the earth we walk on.
It is time for you to paint your canvas.
So go ahead and lay before you your spiritual paint brushes.
The colors of the earth,
The colors of your imagination.
And go ahead now and paint your soul's desire.
Awaken to the messages that you have.
Waking to the calling deep inside your heart.
It is time now to release and reveal this masterpiece.
As you continue to breathe,
I'm going to give you a few moments to paint the canvas of your life,
Awakening to the miracle,
The majesty and the magnificence of who you are and what you're here to do.
Go ahead now and paint that canvas.
Allow yourself to reveal and awaken.
I'll bring you back when it's time.
Go ahead now and paint your canvas.
Go ahead now and paint your canvas.
And gently.
Take a step back from this beautiful masterpiece that you've begun to paint.
Get a good vantage point.
Allowing yourself to see this masterpiece that you are going to take note from.
That you are going to slowly,
Step by step,
Breath by breath,
Bring to fruition.
No need to know how.
It's time for you to awaken to the desire that you have to bring it forth.
Allowing the universe to beckon it.
Allowing the people to come for it.
Allowing this time to be the exact right time.
The whisperings have been calling your soul.
Your guides and mentors,
The wisdom of the universe is here by your side.
You're not alone.
This will not take just you and your imagination and your creativity and your innovation.
This will take you sharing it,
Spreading it,
Connecting it,
Giving it the wings that it needs just like the water,
Just like the sun,
Just like the resources that the great bamboo needed to raise itself to its 99 feet above the earth.
So too must you trust all that is around you to rise to your 99 feet above the earth.
Your time is now.
Time to awaken.
Questions may arise.
Find the solution.
Doubt may arise.
Comfort the feelings.
Clarity may arise.
Follow it.
It is your time to create.
Awakening to the truth of who you are.
There is no time but right now.
Take another deep breath in grounding the awareness of this beautiful masterpiece.
This invitation to begin now.
This reminder that it's your time.
Take a deep breath in.
Gently release slowly and effortlessly knowing the truth of who you are has been revealed.
Thank yourself for going on this journey today.
And for yourself for having the courage to allow the seeds of your idea to take root.
And bringing your awareness back into your body right here,
Right now.
Wiggling your fingers,
Wiggling your toes,
Allowing yourself to come right now into the present moment.
Thanking yourself for taking this journey of the mind of the heart of the soul.
And place our hands together in prayer position at our heart,
Bowing our head in reverence to ourselves.
To the mighty roots that we planted today.
And to the sprouting of our awakening.
The light in me honors and sees the light in you.
And recognizes the unique gift and the calling that you are today.
Please share it with me.
Please share it with others.
And together we say Namaste.
Thank you.
