So,
We will explore that tonight and we'll see where we can take it.
Certainly back to you,
Back to me,
Back to everyone who is attending to set it up nicely in an honest,
Sincere,
Open way.
Within our own being,
We can be completely honest and open.
There is no need to hide anything.
And with that openness,
With that sincerity and honesty comes the fruition of every other relationship in our lives.
All right,
I think we have almost everybody connected.
So,
Take a moment,
Get comfortable.
I'm sitting in a chair.
I prefer that way to meditate so my body is completely comfortable.
Find your own way.
I'm sure by now you know what's comfortable for you.
Being on your back is okay unless you do fall asleep.
I can't fall asleep on my back,
So that works for me,
But I still prefer the chair.
So that works for you lying down.
Please,
Please do so.
It's a nice way to relax and release completely.
If you do fall asleep,
That's fine with me.
You will still reap the benefit of complete relaxation.
But if you'd like to stay tuned throughout,
So choose a position where you can't really fall asleep.
And begin just by gently closing your eyes.
Allowing yourself to feel where you are today.
Not trying to change anything,
Just allowing things to unfold.
Allowing the emotions to come to surface.
Really think of a relationship in your life.
Any one of them that comes to mind.
Let the thoughts and the emotions that are associated with that relationship come up.
Whatever they may be,
Accepting,
Allowing.
So we can enhance the emotions and the thoughts that are in resonance with who we are and allow the ones that are slightly dissonant,
Maybe emotionally hard,
To unfold,
To release,
To live through that experience so that we can come closer to who we are.
Let the breathing be your guide.
Let the inhalations and the exhalations soothe you,
Take you in deeper and deeper.
Allow it to be the link between the physical you and the inner self that is within you.
Let both of you be right here in this present moment.
Allowing your whole being calm to life right here,
Right now,
With all of us connecting together,
Creating this collective field where we can nurture the relationships that we hold dear to our hearts.
There is never a time when we're not in a relationship of some kind.
As I mentioned there,
The basis,
The foundation is the relationship between you and you.
That's where it all begins.
Connecting to the beating of the heart,
Connecting to the flowing of your mind,
And connecting to the sensation of the physical body,
Of the physical self.
Give yourself mental permission to open up completely.
Whatever it is,
Let it come.
Gently slowing down the breathing,
Gently moving deeper inward.
Tensing the heart always tells us where we are in terms of the relationship that we have with ourselves.
So allow the heart,
The breath,
Be your guide to more openness right there.
Allow the presence that is within you to merge,
To blend with you.
And you know how it feels.
The presence never judges.
It has complete understanding towards you.
As you start to feel a little bit of that flowing through,
Let more and more of it to come in.
More soothing,
More ease,
More openness.
We have all gone through challenging relationships.
I personally have come through many.
There was a lot of blame of the other,
A lot of judgment,
A lot of guilt.
But at the end of the day,
I realized that the relationship between me and me was the one that I wasn't nurturing.
So see maybe there is resonance with you in that way as well.
It's hard to love when you feel guilt.
It's hard to love when you blame.
So allow the heart to be soothed for all those challenging times that you've gone through,
Knowing that it's okay.
It's a process of understanding who we are,
And the process of connecting to the true resonance within.
When the heart shines,
Where blame and guilt just fall away,
Just because we took the time to connect,
To allow the dust of thinking,
Of belief systems to fall away,
And the true clear,
Pure flow of unconditional flow through openly with no resistance.
Allow yourself to connect to the first two people that you met in your life,
Your father and your mother,
Allowing ourselves the understanding that every one of us is a human being,
That the intentions are always pure,
But the circumstances sometimes are difficult.
We all travel through different emotional states.
Sometimes things are sad that we regret saying,
Things are down that we regret doing,
Bridges burned that we regret burning.
But at the end of the day,
When the heart connects,
We understand that all of that is okay.
There's always the next moment where connection can be made,
Things forgiven,
Understood,
And the sense of knowing and love comes towards every experience that we had.
And every time,
We circle back to the most essential,
To the relationship between you where you give yourself a warm hug,
Where you soothe your heart,
Where you allowed your mind to change the frequency from criticizing back to understanding.
And once the knowing sets in that the relationship within you comes first,
It needs to be nurtured first.
You know that you've got it,
That every day you wake up and your loved one is right next to you and right within you.
And the two people connected to their heart dance to the most beautiful symphony of the day,
With galaxies upon galaxies upon galaxies,
Watching over them,
The beauty,
The love,
The connection,
And the whole universe is right there with you,
Guiding your steps.
It takes just a few conscious breaths to take you back in.
We're born that way with awe in our eyes towards life and each other,
Remembering who we are and where we came from.
So let us go back to that relationship.
Let that relationship take us into all other relationships that we build and build them on love,
Understanding,
Appreciation,
And deep connection,
Understanding that we all have different paths,
Different unfolding,
Letting go of the critical eye and just walking together holding hands in complete understanding that we are together,
Allowing the hearts to unite and resonate,
Letting the strings,
The golden strings within the heart play the most beautiful melody,
Looking at the sun,
The blue,
Blue sky,
Looking at the stars at night,
Remembering where we are and who we are,
That majesty of being alive.
And within that connection,
Nothing but beauty can come.
Not just like any flower,
This connection needs to be nurtured,
Watered.
Allow yourself to feel that,
The connection to you,
The closest presence you have that is right within you.
Allow the source to flow through,
Whatever it is for you,
Whatever name you choose,
Inner self,
God,
Source,
Energy,
Consciousness,
Whatever it may be,
It is you.
More powerful,
Loving than we can imagine,
But we can feel it fully,
Communicating through every emotion,
In every present moment,
If we listen,
If we feel closely.
Let the emotions unfold,
If the tears come up,
Let them,
If the smile comes up,
Smile,
If the pain comes forth,
Let it.
It's okay to feel pain,
But travel back to the heart,
Back to you.
Let's take a few silent moments right here,
In the temple of your heart,
In the kingdom of your mind.
Let's take a few silent moments.
Let's take a few silent moments.
Surrender,
Let it go.
Let it go.
Let it go.
Let it go.
Now bring that relationship to your mind's eye,
Right into your heart,
Whatever relationship you visited in the beginning.
Let yourself feel it from this different perspective,
From this different state.
All of us are unique and different,
And yet we are the same.
In every relationship,
Let your heart be your guide.
Every time you feel your heart close up,
Take a moment to open back up,
To pause and reassess.
Remembering your connection,
Remembering that we are looking at another person who is just like us,
With a deep desire for love,
For the connection.
Maybe sometimes disconnected to various degrees and experiencing pain or suffering that may be expressed in anger,
And soothing,
Soothing your heart,
Allowing the heart of another to feel that,
Rather than multiplying the emotion that disconnects both.
That is the way of the heart.
In love,
We live,
We move,
And we exist.
