Hello and welcome.
I'm Roseanne,
Your host and guide.
So today I want to address kind of a huge subject,
That of awakening.
And given that this is a year of transformation,
It feels right that we try to understand what awakening is for us,
Because it's a really personal thing.
You will no doubt have heard of people tell their awakening and sometimes it can be like a sudden realisation,
An out-of-body experience,
A happening that wakes someone.
But more often than not,
We begin to have a progressive realisation that this thing called awakening is a possibility.
It's a gradual opening of the doors of perception rather than it being blown off its hinges.
So what is awakening?
Well for me,
Awakening at its core is a shift in consciousness.
And I suppose that that can occur gradually or in a big old ah-ha moment.
But this shift in consciousness,
However it arrives,
Is an opening of the third eye,
A realisation of truths that were previously unseen,
A peeling back of layers of illusion to see what is really there.
It's a connection with our inner truth,
With our higher self.
I think one of the most significant features is an awareness of universal energy,
Love,
Or a higher intelligence.
And the magic of these unveilings is a deep sense of compassion,
A natural unfolding of empathy and equality for all.
So let us take a moment to settle,
To relax.
Find a comfortable position,
Whether you're sitting or lying down,
And just gently close your eyes.
Let your body settle into stillness.
Feel your base.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and softly exhale through your mouth.
Begin to notice the rhythm of your breath flowing effortlessly in and out like waves on a gentle shore.
With each exhale,
Let go of any tension.
Soften your shoulders,
Your jaw,
Your hands.
And with each inhalation,
Invite calm and clarity to wash over you.
So take a moment to really feel your body connected to the earth beneath you.
Imagine roots extending from your base,
Grounding you securely into the steady,
Nurturing energy of the earth.
And now turn your attention inward.
Feel into this sense of quiet within,
As if a veil of stillness is settling over your mind,
Your heart.
Find yourself in your sacred space,
Free from judgment,
Free from expectation.
Here you are safe to explore the depths of your being.
Gently bring your awareness to the center of your forehead,
That space between your eyebrows,
And imagine a gentle warmth beginning to emanate.
This is the seat of your third eye,
The center of your intuition and inner knowing.
And using your breath,
Send energy to this space.
When you send your attention there,
Your energy follows.
And as you send your attention there,
You're inviting it to open.
Softly,
Naturally,
Like a flower unfurling its petals to the sun.
Feel this third eye beginning to open,
And imagine a stream of light gently flowing through it.
This light brings clarity,
Illuminating what has always been there,
But might have been unseen.
Visualize this light shining through the third eye.
The color of this light is very personal to you.
Watch it play.
And with this light,
You begin to peel back layers of illusion.
Visualize these layers as clouds or veils dissolving one by one.
Perhaps they are old stories you've told yourself,
Fears maybe,
Or external expectations.
And with each layer that fades,
The light grows stronger.
Revealing what lies beneath.
It's timeless and pure.
Take a moment to rest in this space of unveiling.
What truths are beginning to emerge?
Perhaps it is a sense of who you are beyond your roles,
Beyond your thoughts,
Beyond your doubts.
Let this truth settle in your heart like a soft whisper of wisdom.
Now allow your awareness to expand beyond yourself.
Feel the connection between your truth and something greater.
A universal energy,
A boundless love,
A higher intelligence that weaves through all things.
Imagine this energy is a radiant web of light stretching out in all directions,
Connecting you to every being,
Every tree,
Every star.
You are both part of this web and its creator.
Feel its pulse,
Its gentle hum,
Its energy.
And know that it is always there,
Guiding,
Supporting and loving.
Within this connection there is no separation,
No division.
Feel the oneness,
The sense that we are all threads in the same beautiful tapestry.
Gently bring your awareness back to your third eye and see if this thread of light has expanded outwards,
Upwards,
Connecting you.
As this awareness deepens,
Notice the feelings it stirs within you.
Maybe like a warmth in your chest,
Like the gentle glow of a candle.
Maybe a sense of rising energy.
This is compassion,
A natural unfolding of empathy,
Kindness and equality.
Imagine this compassion flowing outward from your heart like ripples on a still pond.
See it reaching your loved ones,
Your community,
Even those you've never met.
Compassion like love is infinite.
Let it flow freely,
Knowing that this compassion has no limits.
And as you share this love,
Feel it mirrored back to you.
A reminder that what we give to the world we also receive.
Take a moment to just notice the sensations within your body.
Let these feelings settle,
Let them sink in.
Notice your potential for awakening is infinite.
So gently bring your awareness back to your breath,
Noticing its gentle soft rhythm.
Feel your body is still grounded,
Supported by the earth still.
The light of your third eye remains open,
But now it feels soft,
Integrated and steady.
Carry this awareness with you,
This knowing of your inner truth,
Your connection to the greater whole,
And the compassion that flows effortlessly from this place of awakening.
And when you feel ready,
Take a deeper breath.
And as you exhale,
Gently open your eyes,
Returning to this present moment with a beautiful sense of clarity,
Of peace and gratitude.
Om Shanti.
Thank you so much for joining me today for this awakening meditation.
I think that we can all agree that whilst there is huge changes and shifts going on in the world,
The one thing that we can be responsible for is ourselves and our own energy.
And big shifts in the world,
Big transformation in the world is going to happen one by one,
One individual by one individual.
And so raising your own vibration is going to encourage those around you to raise their vibration.
They will come to meet you when you are steadfast in this energy of awakening,
In this energy of compassion and truth and connection.
This is where the revolution,
The evolution really begins.
So take this with you into the rest of your day,
Share it please.
So I ask you that you do share this meditation,
Share these ideas with everybody that you know,
Anybody who you think is remotely open to it and those people who you feel are resistant.
Because your truth,
Your authenticity is irrefutable.
So please take this,
Share this and also if you can review or rate,
It just helps the algorithm to encourage more people to find it.
So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that.
And if you want to get in touch with me,
You know you can through my website.
So I will be back with more meditations and with more love and compassion and gratitude.
Very soon.
Until then,
Take so much care of yourself.
Lots of love.
Bye now.
