Today's meditation is going to focus on developing a relationship with our higher power in the terms of speaking to our higher power,
But also listening.
So before we begin,
Find a place where you can be quiet and free from distraction for the duration of your meditation.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose,
Drawing the breath all the way down to the very bottom of your belly,
Feeling as it expands,
And then gently releasing the breath through your mouth,
Allowing yourself to breathe at your own perfect pace,
Your own natural rhythm.
Each breath allowing you to relax a little bit more,
Each breath becoming a little bit deeper and a little bit slower as your mind and your body enter a state of quiet stillness and each breath giving your body permission to release any tension,
Release any stress,
Allowing your mind to become clear,
Allowing your mind to become calm,
Slowing your breath just a little bit more,
Becoming a little bit more relaxed and a little bit more calm.
And as you continue to breathe,
In your mind's eye envision a bright,
Vibrant lighted cord extending from you all the way up into the sky.
This cord has a golden hue to it and a brilliant,
Clean glow.
This cord attaches you to your higher power,
Though you cannot see your higher power at the other end of the cord,
You know it is present within your heart,
Within your mind.
And within this cord is the ability to communicate directly to your higher power,
A private connection between only you and them.
So when you sit in quiet prayer,
You can speak directly up through the cord to your higher power and be confident that your prayers are being heard.
And when you sit in silence and open your ears and mind,
You can hear the message of your higher power in a language beyond spoken word,
Through the inspiration received through this cord into your heart.
Continuing to breathe deeply and slowly,
Allowing your body to relax and be calm,
Knowing that through this brilliant cord,
Your higher power can hear your prayers,
Your higher power can speak to you.
And the more that you use this cord to interact with your higher power through the prayer and meditation,
The stronger this connection becomes,
The brighter and more brilliant it becomes,
Giving you strength,
Giving you the ability to walk day by day in recovery,
Allowing you sobriety to strengthen,
Allowing yourself to become open-minded and willing,
Trusting in a higher purpose,
Trusting in your higher power.
Take a deep breath and gently wiggle your fingers and your toes,
Bringing awareness back to your body,
Maybe shrugging your shoulders up and down,
Moving yourself a little bit.
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
Have a wonderful day.
Namaste.
Namaste.
