Hi,
This is Padma Gordhan,
And I would like to welcome you to the Daily Insight.
Today's meditation is called Opening the Heart to Embrace Your Life.
The intention of this meditation is to melt away any barriers around your heart so that you can really avail yourself to the beauty of your life,
To the richness of your life,
To all of the love in your life.
So I invite you to relax,
Sit back,
And settle in to the space of your beautiful heart.
Enjoy.
Welcome to this meditation of opening the heart and celebrating life.
Let's begin with some nice,
Gentle breaths.
And I'd like you to breathe into the space of your heart.
Breathing and softening into the space of your heart.
Letting everything begin to relax.
And if it feels good to you,
You can gently rest in a way that's comfortable.
Comfortable in a way that feels supportive.
Because the heart,
When it feels kindness,
Your kindness and care that you have for yourself,
That's right,
Taking the time today to tend to the space of your heart,
To breathe and let go,
Letting tension melt away like a dish of butter left out in the warm sun,
Inviting the muscles,
Tissues around your heart to soften.
Welcoming any feelings or emotions that may arise.
Everything is welcome.
Everything is included in the generous space of your own heart.
Taking the time right now to feel the vastness of your heart and noticing what's here.
Noticing if there are guards keeping watch over your heart,
Anyone from entering and preventing love from shining forth into the world.
Noticing maybe there are barriers that have been created over time through circumstance.
And just being curious right now,
Are they still needed?
Or is it possible to invite those guards to rest?
Their service is not needed.
Breathing,
Feeling,
Trusting the wisdom of your own heart.
Your heart is trustworthy.
Rest into your heart,
Letting it open,
Letting the layers,
The shields begin to dissipate,
Disappear,
So that you can celebrate your life.
So that perhaps on this day and on each day that follows,
You can walk through the world with a soft heart,
With an open heart,
Connected.
Feel where you are already connected with this beautiful heart,
The heart of love,
The heart of freedom,
Offering the warm light of your curiosity into your heart.
Just notice if it's open and available,
And what would it be like to walk through the world with your beautiful heart shining,
Radiating love and light into each moment,
Into each experience with the people in your world,
Coworkers.
See it,
Feel it,
Feel it in your heart.
What is it like to walk with an open,
Radiant heart?
Notice if you're smiling,
Energy in your step,
The heart meeting itself.
It's beautiful,
And you can trust that love begets love.
Light begets light.
Generosity calls forth generosity.
Breathe into your heart.
Your heart is wise,
Infinitely kind.
Your loving heart is magnetic,
Magnetizing goodness,
Magnetizing abundance,
Magnetizing gifts and blessings,
Magnetizing gifts and blessings that you cannot even begin to imagine.
Gifts and blessings are finding you right now.
Your heart is a magnet for goodness,
Taking this moment,
Breathing,
Offering gratitude to your own heart,
Offering gratitude into your own heart.
Notice that the frequency of gratitude is an invitation to beauty and love.
Gratitude is a state of receivership,
Receiving this moment in true celebration,
And trusting that by listening to this meditation,
You have laid the ground for goodness,
For blessings,
For love,
That you are walking,
Letting your light,
The light of love,
Shine into this world.
So gently taking another breath,
Receiving everything that's been said and heard in every cell and fiber of your being,
So that when slowly you come back to your body,
To a new body,
To an open heart,
You are walking in love,
You are walking with grace.
So slowly,
Slowly coming back,
Trusting that your wise heart is guiding you,
Your wise and loving heart is leading you,
Opening the eyes,
Seeing the world freshly,
Freshly.
