Tranquility During Turbulence All of us can perceive that we are living in turbulent times.
This meditation will empower us to maintain calm in the midst of chaos.
To effectively do this,
We need to understand how to keep our stillness in stormy times.
We will reflect on three essential facets of wisdom to preserve our tranquility during turbulence.
1.
Most importantly,
We must remember our spiritual identity.
This way,
We will regain our stillness.
We must own our true real identity as spiritual beings,
As eternal souls.
We are pure consciousness that has an existence beyond this world of matter.
2.
We must trust in the intelligence that guides the universe.
We all have control issues.
We constantly try to control everything that is happening to us and around us.
We really need to let go and accept that there is unseen wisdom operating behind all the events in our lives.
Trust this wisdom.
Don't fight it by trying to control.
Rather,
Plug yourself into the beautiful spiritual world of light,
Our true home,
And access the grace and wisdom that it is offering you.
The mind is like a radio and the spiritual world is like a radio station.
If your radio receiver is full of static,
Of too much thinking,
Busyness and turmoil,
Then it will drown the signals from the spiritual universe.
To listen to the secrets from this higher universe,
We have to silence the mind.
3.
We must accept change as an inevitable part of life.
Tranquility comes when I deeply understand and feel that this challenging dark of night will give way to a new day.
Also,
Some of the biggest storms turn out to be the greatest gifts in our lives.
Instead of labeling them as good or bad,
Learn to turn a blow into a blessing by unplugging from your to-do list and busyness and pay attention to what the cosmic wisdom is telling you.
Now let's meditate.
Take a deep breath and slowly release that breath.
Another deep breath in and out,
In and out.
As you release your breath,
I want you to leave the physical world slowly.
That is,
Just start seeing light.
There is no form,
No sound,
No dramas,
No to-do lists.
Keep breathing in and out,
And slowly but firmly,
Empty the contents of your mind of all your responsibilities.
Take another few inhalations and exhalations and let their rhythm lull you into inner silence.
Now rest your mind in this silence for a few moments.
Again let's take a deep breath in and out.
As you exhale,
Allow your stillness to increase.
Again take a deep breath in and as you exhale,
Go deeper and deeper into that stillness.
Your mind is still.
Your heart is open and savoring the sweet stillness within you and around you.
In this stillness,
You own your true,
Real identity,
Silently,
Gently but firmly.
Keep repeating to yourself,
I am light.
I am eternal.
I am consciousness.
Again,
I am light.
I am eternal.
I am consciousness.
As you repeat,
I am light.
I am eternal.
I am consciousness,
You settle deeply into stillness.
This tranquility is allowing you to link to your inner compass.
This subtle GPS is guiding you and filling you with clarity and fearlessness.
Let this intuitive guidance lead you to a radiant spiritual universe.
This world is beyond the physical,
Beyond your body and beyond your body's five senses.
In this spiritual world of light,
You receive everything you ever need.
It is full of beautiful spiritual gifts of love,
Of peace,
Of wisdom and a sense of belonging to the divine.
Allow yourself to be filled with the luminous light of this cosmic universe.
As you breathe in this wisdom fully,
You're beginning to realize the intelligence of this cosmic universe.
It is surrounding and filling you with its gifts.
And you clearly see the reality behind every event in your life.
The benevolence of everything that is happening to you and around you.
Again,
Breathe in and out.
Now,
With each breath,
You cherish the peace that is flowing through you as you're connected to this spiritual world.
You realize there's a gentle wisdom and purpose to all things transpiring around you.
The moment you plug yourself in,
You're not only feeling deep tranquility,
But also seeing the interconnectedness of all things.
We all belong together.
We are one.
We are distinct and together in this vast,
Radiant,
Spiritual cosmos.
Remember the vitality,
The love and the sense of belonging you feel in this realm.
Notice how weightless you're beginning to feel.
You have no burdens here.
Give yourself permission to soak and bathe in the lightness and bliss of this world.
Take a moment now and listen deeply to the whispers from this sweet haven.
As you begin to feel at home in this spiritual world,
You settle into a deep feeling of tranquility and stillness.
This stillness is allowing you to tune into the gifts that this turbulence is bringing to you.
Unconsciously,
This tranquility is altering the very makeup of your inner being.
You feel grace in every moment.
You know and understand,
Deep in the fabric of your being,
That every grief brings a gift and every blow brings a blessing.
For the next few moments,
With a tranquil mind,
A calm heart and a clear head,
Absorb the vibrations of this universe,
Observe the gift this moment is bringing to you and most importantly,
Own your real,
True identity.
As you return to here and now,
You deeply understand that you need the support of your tranquil mind.
Calming the mind is the most important thing you can do now.
You give yourself the gift of a calm mind.
You clearly see the blessings this turbulent time is bestowing on you and you stay connected to the stillness of the spiritual world.
You make a determined promise to yourself that you will do this meditation regularly.
Aum Shanti I am Peace.
