And just sense that the floor,
The ground,
Is not just holding you,
It's with you.
And become aware of your breath.
Sense into that your breath is for you and with you.
Sense into how your breath is a friend.
And the same with your feet.
As you bring your awareness to your feet,
In a literal sense,
They are for you and with you.
Old companions,
The little toe and the big one,
They've been with you since the moment you were born.
Hopefully they will be with you until you die.
And put your hands on top of each other if you like,
Put them on the belly or on your lap,
But just see it's always so helpful when one hand touches the other.
Allow yourself to,
It's like you can touch those,
One hand touches the other.
Sense into,
There's a hand that's with you.
Sense into,
It's the hand of the,
Not just your body.
It's the hand of the universe.
It's the hand of love.
You say it's your hand.
Yes,
It's your hand and it's so much more.
Just allow that hand to touch,
To stroke,
Maybe the other hand.
Sense into as if this hand is singing the song to you.
I am with you.
From the beginning of time to the end.
Feel it in the touch.
It's also that I'm here with you.
This whole group is here.
Notice how it feels inside of you.
So when you get stuck in the head,
Thinking about it,
Come back to your felt sense.
Even if you feel disconnected,
Doesn't matter if something is here,
Even if you can't sense it.
Let your awareness expand further.
Plants,
The trees,
They're with you.
The air,
The sun,
Moon.
The great beings.
Allow yourself to be touched by that.
Allow or try allow.
How do you,
Where do you sense it?
Something is with you.
How does it feel?
Breathe into that.
Soften into that.
Even if it's a fly in the room,
Being with you.
Allow your consciousness to drop a little deeper into place inside of you that you know has been aching.
This is not a meditation to resolve the whole thing,
But rather a simple touching into with this sentence with your heart and presence.
Feel this place that's been aching.
Give it a bit room to be here.
This ache you have been playing out for so long in your life.
Trying to heal it,
Fix it,
Whatever.
Trying to numb it.
And in this moment,
See what it's like if you acknowledge,
Yes,
You're here.
Trusting your heart to whisper,
I am with you.
I am with you.
For tiny moments,
Sit on the bench together.
For a tiny moment,
Reach your hand out with this ache.
There's nothing else you need to do.
Notice what happens.
This is not a meditation to resolve the whole thing.
Yes,
I am with you.
Maybe you have,
It shows up in the way you reject another person's experience.
Just breathe to that place,
See what it's like to sing,
I am with you.
Even to the rejection.
Yes,
I am with you.
Maybe you feel that fire in your heart or that spark.
Who wants to love even that?
Yes,
I do.
Notice how that feels for that aching part.
Feel you are with me.
Yes,
I am with you.
Yes,
I am with you.
Yes,
I am with you.
And as if the hand is resting upon you.
Feel in your head or your heart,
Your hand with grace saying I am always with you.
Let that in for a moment.
That reality is true.
Let it in.
As if the hand is touching through the layers.
The layers of conditioning.
Each layer singing I am with you always.
What is what begins to open?
Enjoy that.
Thank you.
That is your nature.
Thank you.
It's almost like you turn to your heart and your being and get a glimpse of you are with me.
To your teacher or your friend.
You are with me.
Even if I don't do everything right,
Say right,
Be right,
Mess up,
You are with me.
Even if I'm not enlightened enough,
Don't do all the practices you are with me.
Even if I have cravings and holds and whatever you are with me.
How does that feel for you?
Let that truth land a little bit.
Rest in the lab.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I will include movement of the trees,
The air,
The earth.
Sing to them.
I am with you.
Feel it in your heart.
The whales.
We let it emanate out to India.
To the people who are at the funeral prayers.
I'm with you.
We sing it to people just getting out and celebrating a wedding.
First babies being born.
People who are struggling,
People who are rejoicing.
They are us.
We sing it.
I'm with you.
Since there is a blessing that carries this,
Comes from that centre of your being.
The blessing that touches all beings.
