Aloha and welcome to your Baha'i inspired daily guided meditation.
Today we are focused on unity and how we can create and bring more unity into our lives.
Begin by finding a comfortable position for your body.
Relax into this position.
Feel free to move around a little and get settled.
Start by taking a big inhale.
As you inhale,
Imagine your thoughts becoming lighter,
Not disappearing,
Just getting lighter.
As you exhale,
Imagine negativity leaving your body.
Take a moment to scan your body and find any places that are holding tension that need a little moment of relaxation.
Send it to that area now.
Start with your feet and move up to your ankles.
Over your shins and calf.
Over your knees and thighs.
Scan your pelvis and hips.
Spend a moment with your core,
Your midsection and find any tension in this very important area of your body.
If you need,
Spend a moment imagining healthy digestion and organs that are working in harmony and unity to keep you healthy.
Moving up now to your chest,
Feel your heart.
Place a hand on the center of your chest.
Check in with your heart and how it's feeling.
Is there anything in your heart that needs a few moments of love and breath?
Moving up to your shoulders and collarbones,
The front and back body.
Do the breath into your shoulder tops where your neck connects to your shoulders.
Now move up your neck and relax the muscles in the back and front of your neck.
Moving up to your chin and jaw,
Let go of your jaw and clench your teeth.
Relax your cheeks and eyes.
Unfur your brow.
Now check your posture.
If you're sitting,
Imagine a string of light from your sit bones up your spine and coming out from the top of your head.
See this string of light going straight up to a larger flowing waterfall of light coming down like a torrent from above you.
Feel the love and power of this light that is connected to your light and flowing more heavily now onto the top of your head.
Pouring over your front and back head and body.
As you see and feel this light,
Imagine all your cells waking up,
Becoming illumined and purified.
Each cell of your body responding to this unconditional love being poured from the divine source.
Each cell of your body recognizing its home and origin.
The cell,
While part of this world,
Also aligns with the elements of it,
Of that divine power latent within itself.
This power that connects us with everyone else in this world,
The divine connection,
One human family,
One hand with many fingers.
See all of humanity as waves of one sea,
As flowers of one garden,
Moving with one breeze in perfect harmony.
See the roots of the trees connecting with each other under the earth,
Not competing,
Not exalting itself over another,
Working together for a greater purpose,
Working in harmony.
Imagine yourself connected with humankind in this way,
Moving as one body while maintaining the beauty of its diverse origins,
The gifts that each possess being treasured and appreciated,
Each understanding God's great purpose.
Following divine commandments of peace and justice,
Love and fellowship,
See divine strength pouring into your body and spirit and this light spreading out into the world and filling all of humanity.
Say in your mind or out loud,
I am one with everyone and everything.
I am happy and joyful in my mind,
Body and spirit.
I am healthy in my heart,
Mind and body.
I am a wave in the ocean.
I am me and yet part of the bigger body.
I work in ways that create unity.
I see how I make connections with all who I meet.
I feel a burning love for all who cross my path.
I seek friendship with all races on earth.
With every breath,
You renew a tranquil conscience within me.
I am safe in your divine protection.
I am loved and accepted as I am in your divine love.
When you're ready,
Take a slow in breath through your nose.
Now release that breath slowly through your mouth.
Start to notice your feet and hands.
Move them slightly.
Coming back into your body,
Slowly open your eyes.
Thank you for joining me today.
Allow a pause.
