Hello and welcome to this meditation,
Thank you for sharing this space with me.
Today we are going to invoke peace within us,
To then spread it throughout the world.
I invite you to sit comfortably,
As a sitting or standing position is empowering for this meditation.
If you are choosing to lay down,
Then be prepared to answer your own impulse to sit up when you are ready,
And make your spine erect,
And imagine that you've just arrived.
You've arrived at the mountaintop after a long journey,
And now you are sitting and resting,
And surveying the scenery before you.
You are at peace.
You feel the support of the firm surface beneath you,
You feel clean air around you,
And you hear gentle sounds of the wind and the birds singing far away.
You seem to be quite alone at this mountaintop,
And the whole wide beautiful world before you is flowing.
You see a valley,
Rivers,
And other mountains far far away,
And majestic clouds are flowing by.
Those can represent your thoughts and feelings just passing,
And you being an observer.
Take a deep cleansing breath,
Taking a breath in through your nose and out through your mouth with a sigh.
Feel centered.
Feel at peace.
Thank your body for all its essence.
Try to picture it with your mind's eye,
Sliding your attention from your very feet up to the knees,
To the pelvis,
To your belly and your chest,
Up to your shoulders,
And sliding down your arm,
One of your arms,
And down another arm,
Stopping for a bit on your hands.
You may connect your hands together to feel the warmth of one on another,
And take another deep cleansing breath in through your nose and out of your mouth,
And then bring your awareness up to your neck,
The back of your head,
Your ears,
Your forehead,
Your eyes,
Your nose,
Your cheeks,
Your lips.
Relax your jaw,
Relax your eyelids,
And contemplate your breath,
How it flows into you,
How it leaves you,
And flows in again.
And the pause between the breath in and the breath out,
The holy silence,
And the slight smile of your heart at this moment can be the peace that you are at.
You are at peace,
Beautiful being in a beautiful world,
Strong as the roots of the mountain,
Free as the air up high surrounding the peak,
And you are sitting there,
And you feel the light of peace shining within you.
Feel where does it choose to appear in your body,
In your head,
In your heart,
In your belly.
A light is born,
And it's radiating from you.
Your peace is so ever-present,
And now you've made yourself so clear for it,
And so calm to experience it,
That it is rushing out into the world,
Radiating,
Flowing from you to all the sides,
Flowing down the mountain,
Down the slopes,
Into the valley,
And reflecting in the clouds,
Just like gentle rays of sunrise,
And you feel this light condensing into a bright,
Shining,
Colorful river of light,
And then you notice that on the mountaintop,
Far,
Far away,
Another spark of light is born,
And then another on another summit.
All of them are radiating this peace.
Beautiful rivers of light are flowing from one mountain to another,
Connecting into a web of peace,
Surrounding the earth.
They are intertwining,
Flowing into one another,
Reinforcing one another,
And soon,
In your mind's eye,
You see how the whole world is covered by this beautiful and powerful,
Peaceful river of light,
A shining web of love and kindness and support and peace.
You feel the power of this peace.
It is the true essence,
True life.
It is flowing from you because you are whole and complete at this moment,
And it is finding its way into the wounds and the holes in the earth.
This web of light is pouring down into those places where the hurt is pulsating,
And it soothes the pain,
And it extinguishes fires,
And you are seated at the mountaintop with thousands of others who meditate for peace together.
Throughout space and time,
We contribute to this web of peace.
Be here as long as you want,
And when you come wounded,
This light will heal you,
And when you come overflowing,
Contribute your peace to the peace on earth.
Thank you,
Wise and peaceful one.
Many blessings.
Until next time.
