Transcript

This week on The Woke,

Eyes wide open.

A part of me wants to keep my eyes closed and pull the covers over my head.

I walk out the light trying to be turned on in my room.

A part of me wants to stay right where I am and wants not anyone or anything to jostle me,

Ask me questions,

Push me forward.

A part of me wants to hide in my anger and fear,

In my stale beliefs,

With my pointing fingers,

My victimhood,

My righteousness,

And wants to defend why life is not easy.

A part of me wants to tell the world I have been hurt too many times to move ahead.

A part of me wants to justify how my pain has left me frozen,

Petrified,

And unable to let go.

A part of me is so afraid to look at what is hurting me that it would rather escape than face it.

A part of me is so afraid to open my eyes because the very nature of waking up is to be aware,

To be accountable,

To be responsible for the healing of my life,

And knows I will need to take on the task of loving myself until full.

A part of me is so afraid to look and to see because it knows the fingers I have been pointing will be pointing back at me.

The angry eyes I have been looking out at the world with are my eyes,

My responsibility.

A part of me knows that when caught in anger and pain,

I will have to ask myself,

Is this really worth my misery?

Is the price I am paying worth my one precious life?

A part of me is afraid to see because it knows that in seeing I will be asked to let go and that in letting go I will be asked to be reborn and that in being reborn I will have to uncover who I truly am.

A part of me knows that once I begin to see I will never be able to unsee again,

That in waking I will begin the sometimes scary process of perpetually moving forward,

Process of stretching and growing and then stretching and growing again.

That another part of me knows in every ounce and inch of its being that I am serving no one,

Not one single life by staying asleep.

A part of me is beckoning me to move up and out from all of the places of ungrowth,

The dark rooms of stagnant air.

A part of me is being propelled up and out into this great wilderness and asking to discover the power hidden in the creases of my skin,

Resting on the tips of my eyelashes,

Traveling in the veins that surge through me.

Part of me is not afraid to look,

Who longs to see,

Who longs to live in my freedom,

Who is calling me into the wide expanse of my being.

A part of me knows of my source,

Knows of my magnitude,

Knows of my duty,

My call to stop choosing to stay asleep,

To follow my pain until I realize there is nothing more for me to do with it but lay it down.

A part of me knows this and calls to me in all of my discontent and gently shows me signs of life on the other side,

Shows me the gift of rising up and out from the bed I have made on the ground.

Close your eyes now.

Live in your body.

Focus your arms,

Your legs,

Your ankles,

Your feet.

Breathe deeply and feel it between your shoulder blades.

Arrive here with yourself.

Can you hear the small voice inside of you that has been telling you there is more to this life than what you have been choosing?

Can you hear the small voice inside of you that has been gently guiding you to your heart all along?

Can you hear the small voice inside that is telling you when you are ready,

You are welcome to join me in the truth of your great beauty?

It is here.

If you listen closely,

Behind the dense hurt and bondage lives another part of you.

Standing tall,

Feet strongly planted in the earth,

Palms turned to face the sky,

Earth rejoicing around its feet,

Heart loud,

Clear,

Resolute,

Eyes wide open.

There inside of you,

A wondrous part of you is calling you to step into the land of your great unbounding potential,

Freedom and abundance.

Any change or forgiveness you have experienced in your life was not because someone else made you let go,

It was because you chose to.

When power is yours,

The choice is yours.

Do not worry yourself too much with how to live from this self.

Do not worry yourself too much with how to release your pain.

Do not worry yourself with the practical side of this,

For there is an intelligence living within you that has guided you to this very moment,

Hearing these very words.

It is helping us open our eyes and is guiding us here always,

To this heart,

To our wholeness.

This comes in many forms and faces.

So do not worry yourself too much with how you will ultimately arrive at your freedom,

For it is the work of magic and miracle.

All you must worry yourself with is listening intently for the part of you that is not interested in staying and suffering any longer.

All you must worry yourself with,

Dear one,

Is listening intently for the part of you that already knows what you must do to arrive at the door of your awakening.

You are longing to be more alive.

You are longing to be fully present to your one precious life.

You are not afraid.

You are ready,

Dear one,

To be accountable,

To be wholly responsible for your life.

Life itself is pure of being,

Empty of suffering.

Life itself is free from anger and fear.

Life is here for us to live in wonder of and to open our eyes to our ability to let go of all that hurts in order to find our liberation.

To drop the notion that we are owed anything from this life and realize that instead we owe it to ourselves.

Part of you knows this as truth.

A part of you can hear a deep and resounding yes to the pulling of the covers off from over your head because it knows your life,

Your one precious life,

Is so worth it.

Reviews

Sara has such a beautiful voice and profound simple message. It is up to me to live this one precious life to the fullest.

This meditation was so profound and inspiring for me to move through the grief, loss and pain that I have been experiencing and feeling for the past two years, showing up and trying to be present through survival, but not really living because the pain was too great, overwhelming and unmanageable. Listening to this meditation today helped me to truly see and understand that God wants more of me to be present and linked into life by fully experiencing everything it has to offer and to let go of the fear that has been holding me from moving through the steps forward to start participating fully in my new normal and life today. Thank you so much for this powerful spiritual awakening. 🙏🏾💜

Just astonishing. Truly beautiful meditation that spoke to my core. Thank you. Your words unlock. It is truly a gift. Bless you for sharing it. Namaste. ❤️🙏🏿

You are amazing, thank you for all those kind words

Beautifully worded meditation, both true and a pleasure to listen to… Thank you 🙏

Needed to hear that! And it feels like it may take forever to find deep freedom.

I love the juxtaposition of each part of me that wakes each morning. And I love leaning into the empowered self.

Thank you, Sarah. You are make no me feel myself into peace. I’m counting my blessings not my sorrows. Being grateful not sad. I’m enjoying the quietness. Namaste! 🙏💛

Perfect, the message & your beautiful, soothing voice reminded me to pull the covers up over my head and to start this new precious day with gratitude and appreciation

Wow. Loved this journey 🫶Spoke to my soul. Thank you.

Perfect guidance for a life transition. Thank you 🙏🏻

I don’t think I’ve ever listened to a meditation that so precisely meets me where I am and is exactly word for word, what I needed today.

I am feeling completely and totally stuck. I’ve cut everyone off and have been living my life in isolation, depression, addiction, and anger.

This meditation was a gift and felt like a miracle actually. Thank you.

Till this days, I'm forever grateful for Sarah's unique gift on helping me to navigate my inner world throughout these years on InsightTimer.

There's something that is so pure and captivating for me whenever I listen to her tracks and even after so many years, it never failed to comfort me whenever I need it. I often feel seen and comforted whenever I do her guided meditation. ❤️

Listening with Sarah has been a sacred gift on my healing journey. Her words and energy have helped me release emotional barriers and open my heart in ways I never thought possible. There is such a deep wisdom and compassion in her guidance, she speaks directly to the soul and creates a safe space for true presence and transformation. Each meditation feels like a gentle reminder to return home to myself, and I am profoundly grateful for the light she continues to shine on my path.

I absolutely find Sarah’s words, her tone in saying them, her sense of genuineness, all so powerful!

Life's journey has many ups and downs and ins and outs, but it can be beautiful if I allow it to be . Thank you 🙏

Loved the story form of this meditation. Thank you

This is the most beutiful meditation I’ve ever done. You’re literally saving lifes with it. THANK YOU

I am no stranger to depression, sadness, victim hood and not taking accountability. But that isn’t how I live today. Thank you Sarah 🧚🏽‍♀️
