Being Carried: A Meditation For Times Of Transition

When life is shifting and the path ahead is uncertain, this meditation invites you to stop gripping and simply float. Guided by the stillness of a mountain lake, you'll find the quiet center that exists beneath all transition — the place where connection, love, and grace are always present. Return to shore carrying something more valuable than answers: a willingness, and the deep knowing that you are being carried.

Breathe deeply, And imagine you are standing on the shore of a beautiful lake, Completely surrounded by mountains. Before you, In the water, There is a floating platform. You step onto it, Lie down on your back, Arms outstretched, And your platform begins to drift slowly out, Away from the shoreline, Toward the center of the lake. As the shore grows distant, Your thoughts slow down, Become less urgent. You release the busy mind that gets you through the day, The greater the distance from the shore, The greater the clearing that takes place within you. Your awareness shifts to the cool crisp air coming into your body with each breath, The warmth of the sun on your skin, The rhythmic movement of the platform on the water beneath you, The majestic beauty of the mountains, Standing witness all around, The sky above, A vast container where it is safe to be completely present, Where it is safe to surrender into the comfort of knowing that all is well, That this is reality. Your breath and the movement of your body on the water have now become synchronized, Have now become one. If it feels right, Let one or both hands trail over the side into the water. Feel the water moving between your fingers, A flowing sensation that can't be held or grasped. It asks nothing of you, It simply flows like it knows where it's going. Your platform has come to rest now at the very center of the lake, The focal point of connection to source energy, The focal point of divine love, The focal point of grace. With each breath, Receive this connection, This love, This grace, Unconditionally, Here at the still center, Something might become visible that a busy shore could not show you. It might be an answer, It might be like clouds parting, It might be a quiet sense that what is to come is more than you can currently see, But you are moving toward it. Slowly now, Your platform begins its return. The shoreline comes into view. You step back onto solid ground, Perhaps feeling like a different person than the one who left shore. You've come back with a stillness, A new awareness, An openness to what is unfolding, And a knowing that you are totally supported. Blessings, And light ahead.
