This meditation is about getting back to the truth.
Since there is only love,
Getting back to the truth is everybody getting back to that highest experience and expression and understanding of love that's possible for them.
It comes out looking like all sorts of different things and it needs to because if we all had to be the same,
If we had to be completely homogeneous as a society or a race,
If humanity were all the same,
Then we'd lose out on lots and lots of flavor.
Different spiritual practices and religions each bring something special and they each are a different expression of love.
So in this meditation,
Instead of getting everybody to agree or to agree with me,
Which might be my favorite way for us to all get to one,
It's for all of us to be experiencing and expressing and deepening into love in a more profound and fundamental way and let that be the multiplier.
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in.
Let yourself be filled and a deep breath out.
Just let it go.
Remind yourself that there is only love and breathe that in.
Hold it at the top and remind yourself that since love is all there is,
That's what you are and breathe out.
You are breathing out love.
Continue to breathe in love and breathe out love at your own pace with the understanding that love shows up in lots of different ways,
Different flavors.
Sometimes love shows up as freedom and the ability to do things which might not really serve us in the long run.
Sometimes love shows up as force,
Being able to forcibly take the resources and the power that's available and leverage it against the situation or group of people or some sort of otherness.
It is completely possible to choose that.
Take another deep breath in.
Let it go.
In a lot of ways,
That's not love and there are ways that love can express and use that differential,
That force,
That leverage in a different way.
So as we go into the quiet together,
Understand on every inhale that you are breathing in love and that you are even more fully embodying the love that's the truth and heart and core of who and what you are.
And as you breathe out,
You have the opportunity to share that love,
That capacity that is you in a new way that makes room to breathe in more love to allow yourself to be even more filled and recognize what your skills and talents and gifts and abilities and perspectives are that can be shared more fully in the world.
As you breathe out,
Share that love more fully.
That is the snowball that gets to roll down creating an avalanche of love.
Let's take that together into the quiet because that's what we're inviting.
Breathe in love.
Be love.
Breathe out love.
And be at peace.
Breathe in love.
Be love.
Breathe out love.
Be at peace.
Breathe in love.
Breathe out love.
Breathe in love.
Breathe out love.
Breathe in love.
Breathe out love.
Breathe in love.
Breathe in love.
Breathe in love.
Breathe in love.
Breathe in love.
We can bring this awareness and breathing pattern into our day whenever we want.
Whenever we notice that we're breathing,
We can breathe in love.
And at the top,
Hold for just a moment and be love.
And breathe out love and share it with the world.
And at the bottom of the exhale,
Be at peace.
The breathing is going to be happening continuously.
The awareness can be there whenever we choose to bring it in.
And we can create even more and more and more of a tendency in our thinking to breathe in love,
To be love,
To breathe out love,
And to be at peace.
The truth is there is only love.
There is always love.
Everything is that infinite love expressed in its own way.
Sometimes those expressions of love are harmonious and pleasant.
And other times they're friction or discord or different ideas and activities jockeying for position.
It's all love.
So we are free to choose the most gentle and graceful and uplifting expressions of love and breathe that in and be it and share it and be at peace.
That's what I'm choosing for each one listening to this individually and for all of us together and for that matter for all of humanity.
The truth is we are love and we have the opportunity now to let that bright light shine.
That is the invitation today.
To have more of that truth,
More of that harmony,
More of that love,
More of that good appear in the world around us and to be willing to let it appear through us and as us.
I am grateful for the way that the light is shining.
I'm grateful for the way the love is flowing.
I am grateful for this newer,
Deeper awareness and experience of truth with a capital T revealing itself in our lives,
In our households,
In our families,
In our relationships,
In our communities and in our world.
With this feeling of thanks,
I speak this word of intention and I release it to the same creative law that has created everything.
Love is at hand.
These hands right here,
Right now.
I let it be and I know it's so.
And so it is.
Amen.
Take a deep and intentional breath and let it go.
Return your attention to your body.
Bring some gentle movement to your fingers and toes and bring your full awareness back to the world around you.
Namaste.
