I invite you to find a comfortable position,
One which allows your body to fully relax and let go.
Allow your shoulders to drop and melt.
Allow your breathing to become fluid and easy.
Finding yourself that meditation isn't about trying to create a particular state,
But a relaxing,
A letting go,
A remembering of the peace that is already here.
Allow awareness to reveal to you now your natural,
Uncontrived state.
Allow yourself to fall into this peace which surpasses all understanding.
Let's begin by setting an intention to tell the truth.
And the truth is that we don't know.
There is a lot about life that we don't know.
We don't know what's going to happen in the next moment or the next day.
We don't know why things unfold the way they do.
We don't even know who we are when we aren't thinking ourselves into existence.
And to the mind,
All this unknowing is very frightening and a great reason to doubt the trustworthiness of life.
We need to be willing to not know for long enough,
To stop pretending to know,
To recognize that we're actually safe to not know,
That we've never really known and that we don't really need to know in order to unfold our lives beautifully.
We can learn to trust the benevolence of life and its intention to take us where we need to go,
When we need to go there.
We can connect with this place of trust by finding its source within us,
The calm,
Clear center of our inner presence.
Let's turn our attention towards it now.
Feel the knowing within you growing stronger and brighter.
Part of you that is very confident and secure and aligned with the goodness of life.
The vital aliveness coursing through you.
The part that knows that all is well,
Has always been well and will always be well,
Despite the interpretations the mind drums up.
You can sense this inner self is a peaceful open energy.
Part of us that says yes.
Yes to life,
Yes to not knowing and yes to challenges for all the growth they provide.
We're opening now to the primordial ground of being,
The innermost part of yourself,
An ineffable mystery that can't be known,
Can't be seen,
But can always be felt.
Feel this inner presence within you growing more radiant as you focus upon it.
Invite this wise inner self to be more visible right now.
Allow it to infuse you with its light,
Comfort and strength.
We will now let go of anything that is taking us away from peace and ease.
Imagine it being washed away by the flow of light from your inner being.
You're feeling increasingly peaceful,
In tune with the knowing that the universe is working for you and with you.
You are releasing all anxiety,
Worry and fear.
You have everything within you now to light your path and to release what no longer serves you.
The light of your conscious awareness is the flame of transmutation.
It takes all lesser energies of fear,
Worry and doubt and transforms them into peace,
Harmony and love.
And while you can't grab hold of the awakeness that you are,
You can be it.
The more you give your attention to this place of trust and safety,
The stronger it grows.
Keep opening and allowing this inner radiance to reveal itself to you now.
We are not looking for solutions but allowing ourselves to be infused by this rich presence of being.
We can trust it to do all the magical alchemy.
You may not notice it now,
But trust that it's coming.
Perhaps your breathing is growing more relaxed or you're feeling more ease and release.
You don't have to do anything here,
Only allow this light of being to work through you.
You may notice a change in perspective or an intuitive insight.
It may come now or later.
Trust that your inner wisdom is already at work.
There is no challenge you can't overcome,
No concern you can't resolve.
In every challenge there is an offering of greater patience,
Strength,
Compassion or insight.
No experience is ever wasted.
Life is full of challenges,
Some so fierce that they threaten to topple our very foundations.
But there is a space within us that needs no foundation,
That needs no home and no illusion of knowing.
A place that is perfectly happy to not know how life will unfold moment to moment.
Because it is always known all we need to know.
Life is a beautiful,
Ineffable mystery.
It's full of enough wonder to bring us to our knees.
It's full of enough heartache to tear our hearts wide open.
And it's okay if our minds can't open to that,
Because there is a part of us that has always been open to it.
This place of knowing,
This light of your inner being,
Is only ever a breath away.
Evoke it anytime you need it.
And every time you evoke it,
Trust it to come forward.
All that it asks of us is a willingness to not know.
To open to a mystery deeper than words and knowing.
To open to the goodness of life as it flows through us.
May you be well.
May you be at peace.
Namaste.
