Hello and blessings and welcome to this meditation.
I'm Rev Skip and our guided meditation affirmations and prayers is all about the dark night.
And if you are experiencing a dark night of the soul,
I invite you to be kind and loving to yourself.
Maneuvering through a dark night of the soul can be a very challenging time.
And I know the past year and a half,
Some of us much longer,
Has probably experienced the most challenging times in our lives.
So you are not alone.
The dark night of the soul feels like no other.
It feels like despair,
Heaviness.
It feels like no other experience that we've ever gone through.
You feel lost.
You feel hopeless.
Feels like everything has dropped out.
You've hit the bottom.
Every teacher and avatar has talked about the dark night of the soul.
Guru's,
Master teachers,
All have had this experience.
So you're not alone.
A dark night of the soul can last a day,
A week,
A month,
Or years.
And you feel like you're doing the spiritual work but you are not connecting with your higher self.
There is no shift.
It's like a dry spell.
We even ask questions,
When will this end?
God are you listening?
But there are benefits and there are teaching moments of the dark night.
Number one,
The dark night breaks down the ego and allows us to become teachable.
The humility allows us to come to a place of I don't know and then allowing spirit to come in to teach us.
Teaches us surrender and it's a time of self reflection.
Our journey of awakening is endless.
So a dark night could come up again and again.
We just don't know.
We contemplate questions to help us to grow through the dark night.
What qualities are seeking to emerge here?
What am I to learn from this dark night?
Who am I becoming?
Who will I be?
The dark night can be brought on by a myriad of different things.
Death,
Relationship,
Loss of a job,
Sickness.
But when it comes up we have the tools that we may maneuver through the alchemization stage.
This is the time we get to go deeper into our practice of prayer,
Meditation,
Yoga,
Mantras.
We must trust that this too shall pass.
We stay in it until we get to the other side.
There is no rushing out of the dark night.
We get to remember no matter how we feel,
God is with us throughout this experience.
On the other side you will experience joy,
Peace,
Love.
You will have a deeper understanding of who you are.
This is your sacred gestation time.
Transformation is happening.
The fire of alchemization is taking hold of you and while you are going through these times remember that you are loved.
Let us begin our guided experience.
Find the place that you love to meditate.
Find your sacred space.
You can do this meditation lying down or seated.
Then close your eyes and begin to follow your breath.
Begin to relax in love and again go beyond what you are feeling and just listen.
So we begin with an affirmation,
I am being carried by love.
I surrender to love.
I surrender to love.
So we begin to contemplate.
What is seeking to emerge through this dark night experience?
What is seeking to emerge?
What is seeking to emerge?
What is seeking to emerge?
What am I here to learn about myself throughout this experience?
What am I here to learn?
What am I here to learn?
What am I here to learn?
What divine qualities are present with me throughout this experience?
What divine qualities are present with me throughout this experience?
Who am I during this dark night experience?
Who am I becoming throughout this experience?
What divine qualities are present with me throughout this experience?
What divine qualities are present with me throughout this experience?
So let's take a deep breath in.
Big exhale.
And begin to wiggle your fingers and move your toes.
And slowly open up your eyes.
Place your hands onto your heart.
Feel the love that's within you.
I just want to bless you throughout this journey.
Throughout this experience,
You are loved.
I bless you with kindness and compassion and knowing that right where you are,
Spirit is.
This is RevSkip.
And remember,
Transformation is a choice.
Be well.
