Hello and welcome.
This meditation is called Time to Shine.
Life can be simple,
Delicate,
Easy,
Full of enthusiasm,
Laughter,
Humour,
Depth and most of all all the brilliance that is in you.
So this one it doesn't really matter whether you have your eyes open or closed but what I do welcome you to do is take a deep breath in through your nose and gently let it go out of your mouth.
In through your nose filling up right down to the pit of your stomach and just gently letting go out of your mouth.
Roaring in that fullness,
That life through your nose and just letting anything melt away as you breathe out of your mouth.
There you go in through the nose,
Out through the mouth.
What I welcome you to do is just begin to smile.
Let that smile fill your face breathing in,
Breathing out.
I want you to think of a time in your life when you felt really alive,
Really easy,
When you felt light in your body,
When you felt light in your mind and in your heart.
Just breathe that feeling in through your nose and let everything else go as you breathe it out of your mouth.
Feel your stomach fill up as you draw that breath in.
Feel your chest as if it's rising to the sky and feel your smile spread across your face.
As you breathe out feel your shoulders drop,
Feel your ribs relax and feel all that sensation and all that blood return back down into your core,
Into your hips,
Into your legs,
Into your neck,
All the way down to your feet.
Feel as if a layer of heaviness is just evaporating.
Start to feel as if there's a sun inside the middle of your chest,
Almost as if your mind is just melting gently down from the top of your head like ice melting and dripping down through your head,
Through your neck,
Through your shoulders and into the middle of your chest and your heart.
Feel that smile on your face and imagine and feel that smile in the middle of your chest.
Feel that smile like a light and let yourself know it's time to shine.
As if that smile,
As if that light is just shining out around you,
Shining from the middle of your chest out into your ribs and your shoulder blades and your chest and your collarbone,
Down your arms,
Past your elbows,
Into your hands and all the way into your fingertips,
Down through your core,
Into your middle,
Into your back,
Down your spine,
Into your hips,
Into your groin,
Down into your thighs and your legs and your knees and your ankles and your feet and your toes.
Imagine that light from the middle of your chest.
Imagine that smile from the core of you shine out through your skin in every direction,
Into the left of your body,
Into the space to the left of you,
Into the right of your body,
In the space to the right of you,
Into the back of your body,
In the space behind you,
Into the front of your body,
And the space in front of you,
Into the lower half of your body,
In the space below,
And into the upper half of your body,
In the space above,
Shining out in every direction,
Smiling,
Shining,
Breathing in through your nose,
Out your mouth,
And just sitting in that light that is you,
Just for a moment,
Still breathing in and breathing out.
I want you to imagine someone who is just easy for you to love,
And I welcome you to gently imagine that they're shining the same light,
Their light,
Into their body and into the space around them.
And then I want you to imagine someone else that is easy for you to love,
Or easy for you to imagine them doing this for themselves too.
Feel how that adds to your smile,
Smiling knowingly,
Altogether,
Knowing it is time to shine,
And then just gently imagining all the other people doing this meditation,
Doing the same thing for themselves,
Shining their light.
Imagine all those people radiant and glowing,
Smiling in their face and in their hearts,
Everyone together,
Encouraging each other,
Encouraging each other,
Bathing in the beauty of each other,
Whispering,
Chanting,
Shouting,
Singing.
It's time to shine.
I'll leave the music to fade out gently,
But I just want you to sit in your meditation,
And just imagine that you're shining,
And you're shining,
And you're shining,
And you're shining,
And you're shining,
And you're shining,
And you're shining,
And you're shining,
And you're shining,
And you're shining,
And you're shining,
And you're shining,
And you're shining,
And you're
