A Call To Presence

When you pause gently with the ever-changing moment, rough edges begin to soften, and fixed views and identities can begin to dissolve. Ruth King’s new meditation, A Call to Presence, inspired by Asha Greer’s Meditation Cards, guides us in becoming more tender and intimate while bathing in the liberating grace of what it means to be human.

Transcript

Let's take a moment and turn our attention inward.

And drop our awareness down through the body.

Take a moment to notice the experience of settling.

Strongly held in the solidity of the earth like a tree.

Roots reaching down for nourishment.

Branches reaching up for inspiration.

Upright,

Dignified.

I sit.

I sit allowing awareness to travel through the magical pathways of my body.

Feeling energy moving around me,

Moving inside of me,

Moving through me.

Anchored and aware I become energy,

I welcome and enjoy my aliveness.

I enjoy the electrical nature of my body connected to the rhythms of life.

Settling,

I wrap myself in a cloth of stillness.

Settled and still,

I soften.

I soften my body,

Light a fire in my heart and relax my breathing.

Settled,

Still,

Warm,

Soft like the clouds.

I open with each breath.

I feel the warmth of my ancestors,

Guardians and teachers.

I allow the warmth and wisdom of dear ones to infuse and inform me.

I am grateful for this life and for wise and caring guidance.

I relax into stillness,

Peace and gratitude resting on the lotus of becoming.

Softening,

Opening.

I breathe in the fire of strong emotions,

Breathing in love,

Breathing out love.

I center myself in agitation,

Observing how my edges are shifting,

Noticing wholesome and unwholesome thoughts and feelings.

Staying present and aware,

I accept all qualities of myself.

I let go of my mind and surrender to the ground of being.

I connect to this vast organism called humanity.

Feeling the life that is around me,

The life within me.

I loosen my identities and attachments to be more special than others cause separation.

And as my ego dissolves,

I observe how little identity I need.

And if fear follows,

I soothe it with self-compassion.

Being tender toward myself,

I allow myself to dissolve,

Experiencing myself as part of the winds of change.

I become tiny,

Then enormous,

Then hollow,

Merging with others,

Dancing with all things,

Everything and nothing at all.

Aware,

Aware,

I feel myself as part of a vast consciousness.

I soften into vastness,

I surrender to consciousness.

Breathing in love,

Breathing out love.

Breathing in peace,

Breathing out peace.

I am light,

Radiant,

Beautiful,

Peaceful.

Shine bright,

Precious one.

Shine bright.
