This is Rev.
Rachel Harrison offering a guided meditation to honor your tender heart.
Start by taking a deep grounding breath,
Breathing fully into your belly,
Long and slow,
Allowing yourself to settle into your present moment,
Releasing all that comes into your mind that wants to attach to anything other than right here,
Right now.
Breathe into your heart space.
Breathe into that part of your heart that is your wisdom center,
Your higher self,
Your connection to something even greater still.
And in this heart space,
There are feelings.
There are parts of yourself that have witnessed and been with you through everything.
And often there's emotions that feel hard to touch,
Afraid to let them out for fear that they'll take over.
But the truth is we need to honor our tender self.
We need to honor those tender feelings of the heart that are wrapped around woundedness,
Disappointment,
Sadness,
Grief.
Every emotion that you feel has something to share with you.
Every emotion that you feel has a story to tell of your soul journey,
Your beautiful,
Wild ride of a soul journey.
Allow this tender heart to open.
Allow your tender heart to feel fully and completely each and every feeling,
Emotion,
Vibration that is arising within you that is coming to reveal something about your journey.
When we let go of the need to understand and we just allow ourselves to be,
To witness the experiences in which you became who you are today.
Some of these difficult emotions are ones that we've learned to push down so far down over the years.
But we're being invited now to step up,
To step up,
To rise up into our fullness.
And in this rising up,
We're witnessing every part of ourselves,
Even the shadow,
The dark,
The tender soul.
Feel that transition of knowing where we're willing to be with what had once felt too much.
Oh,
Tender soul.
Oh,
Dear one.
So many of the experiences in our lives have been indeed complicated,
Challenging,
Painful.
Allow yourself to witness those moments from a place of strength.
Reminding yourself that your soul journey has offered you experiences to teach you,
To shine light on places that are ready for growth,
To shine light on places where there were old systems,
Old karma,
Old conditioning that is ready to be released.
Oh,
Tender heart.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for this reminder that I am exactly where I'm supposed to be.
Oh,
Tender heart.
Thank you for holding me through some of the most challenging and difficult moments of my life.
For holding space when I didn't think that I could hold anything more.
There was one more offering of grace.
Oh,
Tender heart.
Thank you for loving me.
Thank you for reminding me that the feelings,
The tears,
The grief,
The sadness,
Is part of this soul's journey to feel so deeply,
To love so deeply,
To experience so deeply that I can witness myself here in this life in a way that I never thought possible.
But the fear is shedding like old skin,
Revealing a new,
Strong,
Embodied,
Beautiful aspect of self that is more.
More than the wounds,
More than the pain,
More than the fear,
It is my true self.
It is through this tender heart that I am finding my way.
Oh,
Tender heart,
You have gifted me the capacity to be my full self.
Each tear,
Each teardrop,
An offering to the universe of this tender heart.
A gift to myself,
A reminder that the tears are precious.
But even to allow this tender heart to want to rage and scream and open in ways that have felt unsafe,
But for a complete release of what does not align,
What does not serve,
Not from a place of victim,
But from a place of fierceness.
A fierce willingness to step out into the world in this brilliant wholeness.
Oh,
Tender heart,
You have given me so much.
You've held so much,
Reminded me so much of all that I can be and all that I am and I release all wounds,
All fears,
All that I've been holding.
It is not the truth of who my soul wants to be now.
I've learned,
I've expanded,
I've released,
I've let go.
I've witnessed the past from the light.
I am recognizing my wholeness.
I am stepping into my wholeness.
I am releasing my woundedness.
I am open to a beautiful heart.
I am open to this tender and beautiful heart,
Knowing that it will continue to guide,
Hold,
Support,
And love me through everything.
I am honoring this part of myself.
I am witnessing my journey from a new understanding that allows me to feel every feeling completely,
Washing through me like waves in the ocean that come and go.
I do not attach.
I allow them to come.
I recognize their value and the strength that each feeling gives me.
In my process of awakening.
Thank you,
Tender heart,
For each and every moment.
Thank you,
Tender heart,
For your beauty.
Thank you,
Tender heart,
For recognizing every moment and providing me with what I need every day.
I will listen.
I will open.
I am remembering my wholeness.
I am remembering that my soul knows the way.
I am open to love and all that I am.
Open your heart.
Open your heart and allow this tender heart to hold you in every moment,
Seeing that it is strong.
It is beautiful.
It has everything that you need in this expansive,
Unlimited space.
Connected to Source,
It is everything.
You are remembering your wholeness.
