Hello and welcome to this week's meditation.
I invite you to find somewhere comfortable to sit and relax.
Wherever you are,
Let your shoulders fall away from your ears.
Soften your jaw.
Close down your eyes.
Take a deep cleansing breath in.
And as you exhale,
Let the day melt away.
Relax.
Again in.
And out.
Letting any tension dissolve as you settle into this moment.
Feel the you-ness of you.
Here.
Now.
Feel your breath moving in and out.
Softly attune your attention within yourself.
Within your own body.
Feel your center here.
Gently breathe into this inner awareness.
And as you exhale,
Soften.
Let go of any effort or strain in your body or your mind.
Begin to notice your inner spaces.
The space between your cells.
The space between your thoughts.
The space between each inhale and exhale.
Feel spacious and expansive in your being.
Gently draw your attention to your heart space.
Feel your heart attune to the subtle sensation and sound of your heartbeat.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Now using your imagination,
I want you to hold yourself in your heart.
Place all that you are right now into your heart.
Feel yourself wrapped in your own limitless love.
Held in tenderness.
As you hold yourself in your heart,
Send yourself a personalized blessing of love and well-being.
Sharing with yourself the loving words that you need to hear from your own heart.
Then take a nice deep breath in.
And exhale with a sigh,
Let it go.
Now expand your heart to encompass your whole city or town.
And holding your whole city in your heart,
Give it your love,
Your well-being.
Offer it a blessing of great health and prosperity for all.
Breathe.
Expand your heart to encompass your country.
All the land and the people.
Hold your country in your heart.
Surround and infuse it with all of your love,
All of your well-being.
Offer it a blessing of unity,
Kindness,
And great success for all.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Now expand your heart to encompass the whole world.
Hold the entire earth in your heart space.
All the land,
Oceans,
Forests,
Deserts,
Towns,
And cities.
Hold all the pain and suffering in your heart.
All the crying,
The hurt,
And the loss.
Wrap it in your love.
Hold all the joy and celebration happening all over the world.
New babies being born,
Children playing and laughing.
Wrap all of this in your love,
Expand the joy and celebration within you.
And as you hold the whole world in your heart,
Share your easy breath with it,
Your calm.
See all beings thriving,
Connecting,
And creating solutions together.
No one feeling separate or apart,
But all beings,
All countries,
Included and valued.
See love flowing easily,
Crossing divides,
Making all things new.
See vibrant health coming naturally to everyone.
See each and every nation expanding into greater and greater collective well-being that positively impacts the whole world and every life form upon it.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Repeat after me.
May all beings be happy and free.
May all beings be happy and free.
May all beings be happy and free.
And so it is.
Thank you for sharing your heart today.
We all rise higher in your presence and your love.
Namaste.
