Welcome to today's Evolve Beyond Limits meditation.
Take a moment to find a comfortable position,
Either sitting or lying down.
Close your eyes and begin to turn inward.
Bring your awareness to your breath.
There's no need to change it yet.
Just simply notice the natural rise,
The fall,
The natural state of giving and receiving.
Now take a deep breath in,
Feeling your chest expand,
Your belly rise,
And gently exhale,
Letting go,
Softening.
Inhale,
Receive.
Exhale,
Release.
Feel the sacred rhythm of your breath.
Effortless,
Balanced,
Trustworthy.
Now begin to imagine yourself on the shoreline,
Bare feet in the warm sand,
And ahead of you,
The vast ocean,
Alive with rhythm and movement.
You notice the tide.
It pulls back,
Then flows forward again.
It gives and it receives.
Never rushed,
Never strained.
Only perfect harmony.
Now begin to sink your breath with the tide.
Inhaling as the ocean flows towards you,
Receiving.
Exhaling as the ocean returns to the sea,
Giving.
Inhaling as you open your heart to receive.
Exhaling as you release with trust.
You are now breathing with the universe itself.
Inhaling as you open your heart to receive.
Exhaling as you release with trust.
Notice if there is any tension or resistance around receiving.
Notice if there is any tension or resistance around the inhale.
Can you let it soften,
Even just a little?
Maybe there's an old belief that you have to earn your worth,
Or that receiving too much is selfish or unsafe.
But with each inhale,
Let those stories loosen.
And with each exhale,
Send them out to sea.
You were made to receive support,
Love,
Money,
Rest,
Joy.
And you were made to give your wisdom,
Presence,
Energy,
Creativity.
You are not meant to hold your breath forever.
And you are not meant to only exhale.
Let's drop into a new truth.
Giving and receiving are one.
Two waves in the same ocean.
To give,
We must receive.
And to receive,
We must give.
When I receive,
I allow others to give.
When I give from overflow,
I become part of the flow.
Feel the breath again.
Inhale as you receive nourishment.
Exhale as you offer what you no longer need.
You are safe to be in rhythm with the world,
In rhythm with nature,
In rhythm with abundance.
As you breathe in,
You breathe in abundance.
As you breathe out,
You breathe out generosity.
As you breathe in,
You breathe in support.
As you breathe out,
You breathe out surrender.
Let it become effortless.
Let it become a natural part of your being.
Knowing that we cannot have one without the other.
As it throws us out of balance and out of harmony with the natural rhythms and the natural cycles.
Take one more deep breath,
This one breathing into your heart space.
Feel the rhythm inside you.
Feel the ocean within your chest.
You are connected to the great flow of life,
Giving,
Receiving,
In perfect harmony,
In perfect timing.
And when you are ready,
You can slowly bring your awareness back to your body,
Wiggling your fingers and your toes.
And gently open your eyes,
Carrying this frequency of receiving into the rest of your day.
You are worthy of the inhale.
You are worthy of the tide.
You are worthy of all that flows to you.
