Transcript

This meditation is for reconnecting with our soul.

So just find a comfortable seat or lay down wherever you are.

And find your breath.

Your gentle companion.

My youngest son said the other day,

I wonder how many breaths we've taken,

Mama.

Let's just become aware of a few of them in this moment.

Breathing in,

I'm aware of my in-breath.

Breathing out,

I'm aware of my out-breath.

Just turning toward ourselves,

Our inner world.

I heard someone say,

When I want to see clearly,

I close my eyes.

And just become aware of what lives in you in this moment.

How the energy feels.

Often there's parts of us that are tight and restricted,

While other parts are vital and alive and moving with energy.

Notice the pulsing flow of life moving in and through you.

Notice where it may be stuck behind rocks or twigs.

Notice where it's peaceful and harmonious and in free flow.

Notice how the energy wants you to open your eyes and run away.

And notice how another part of you wants to sink.

Just to meet yourself deeply in this way.

It's been longing for this very thing.

Notice and welcome all parts of your body,

Your environment.

Bringing them into your great,

Loving,

Unconditional awareness.

Just by noticing.

Allowing,

Inviting,

Embracing.

Feeling the room around you,

The sounds,

The hums.

Feeling the earth under your house,

Soil holding your house in place.

Grounding and orienting yourself.

Seeing that nature holds you,

Silence of the room holds you.

And you are holding yourself.

Seeing your place in this organism of life.

Trying your best to not refuse any part of it.

Looking for the subtle ways that you keep trying to push away.

Refusing to rest and open.

Into the arms of creation.

Into the arms of yourself.

And with each breath just settle.

Just bringing your attention now to the space above your head.

The crown of your head.

Opening into this wide expanse above you.

Bringing your eyes to look upward.

Whether closed or open.

Just tilt your face slightly to face the sky.

Opening your awareness.

Opening your brain,

Your mind,

Up your head to receive.

This is how we connect to our soul,

The light of our soul.

It pours in through us from the top of our head.

Wide bowl and expanse above us.

Invited in.

Feeling our connection to our soul,

Our spirit,

Our intuition.

Our greatness,

This wide expanse of who we are,

Is so enormous.

And it comes in to this tiny body.

Filters through pain and perception and love.

Pours into us and needs to find its way into the container of our body.

And we resist this in a way because of its magnitude.

And we feel sometimes incapable to hold.

We feel we can't.

We're afraid.

We're resistant.

But just for this moment,

Let your soul totally fill your body.

Or let your light totally fill your body.

Through fingers and toes,

Through belly and ribs.

Down through your throat and in your ears and in your eyes.

If this was your most important work in your life,

Was to find a way to fill your body to accept your soul.

To accept your light.

To not push back in a way for fear of feeling too small or incapable.

If this was your greatest work,

Would you hand yourself over to this light?

Would you let it carve back and through you?

All the ways you're resisting it.

Would you soften and allow the magnitude of your being to be embodied?

Noticing if you have any insights.

If you have any feelings of love and warmth in your body that have felt so far and away.

That are here now.

Making a home in you.

Taking up space in you.

Just really allowing yourself to be occupied by a different state of awareness and consciousness.

The awareness and consciousness of your soul,

Your light,

However you see it.

Just realize how good it feels to be home.

And opening your eyes when you're ready.

Realizing now you go into the world and this world you can see.

And you confront the rhythms of every living thing.

Of every environment.

And it's easy to be occupied and distracted by all the different frequencies.

To forget your root,

To forget your home.

You bring this light of the soul into the world as best you can.

Without restriction.

Without voluntarily withdrawing from fear.

Just seeing your greatest work is to let the light that just moved through you be accessible to the world and to yourself.

And I'll just end with a reading from the writer Neil Douglas Klotz.

And he says,

The degree of your illumination,

Your understanding of all that is,

Shines through your eyes,

Your face,

And all you do.

When your expression is straight and expansive,

Without holding back,

Like light through a clear lens,

Then everything you embody shows the same flash of intelligence that helped create the world.

In other words,

Without being illuminated by the light of intelligence,

The body is just flesh,

A corpse.

So the degree of your illumination,

Your understanding of all that is,

Shines through your eyes,

Your face,

And all you do.

When your expression is straight and expansive,

Without holding back,

Like light through a clear lens,

Then everything you embody shows the same flash of intelligence that helped create the world.

May this practice travel with you in all ways,

Through all space and all time.

May you remember to receive the light of your soul.

May you let it pour into you from the crown of your head.

May your great expansive nature move into your small body.

May it pour through your eyes.

May you embody it fully,

Without fear or restraint.

And may you know this is your life's great work,

To move and breathe as this love.

Be well.
