Hello,
Beautiful being.
I am so grateful to be here to lead you in another practice.
Today,
I wanted to take us outside to meditate.
This practice can be done in your backyard,
Your favorite local park,
Anywhere where you can just rest on the surface of the earth for a moment.
If for some reason you can't get outdoors at this moment,
That's okay.
Feel free to just lie down today in your place of practice and just visualize yourself being in your favorite place in nature.
Before we begin,
I wanted to share a few words about the healing nature of our planet,
Around you,
Within you,
There are a multitude of miracles occurring.
The earth is spinning ever so gently and among it,
Trillions of earth beings are breathing,
Being kept alive by the blue atmosphere,
By the sun that kisses the planet just enough to keep us here,
Just enough to keep the oceans dancing and the sacred forests green with their silence.
There are birds singing,
Plants growing,
Clouds passing by,
Sunsets and sunrises all being viewed by different eyes.
There is a connection here unlike any other where the earth holds all of us and we are all that all miraculous beings,
All here together.
This earth is loving us.
This earth does not see imperfection or lack,
It is moving through us.
When we make time for this understanding,
When we make time to recognize ourselves as the beauty of the planet,
We can see that beauty in one another.
We can see without the walls,
Without the separation.
We can see with love and adoration,
The miracle in each and every one of us,
The miracle in each day and breath.
There in that place exists only love.
So today I want you to lie here on the surface that is you.
Just get comfortable and slowly let your arms fall to your side with palms facing the sky to let this in.
And together we're going to take a deep breath in for four and out.
As you breathe,
Just let your body melt into the earth.
Let yourself surrender to your oneness with your home.
And one more breath in and out.
Just sink further and further.
I'll give you a moment if you need one more cycle of breath here.
As you rest here,
Take this moment to look up at the sky,
No matter how clear or cloudy this atmosphere is holding you,
Providing the oxygen your body keeps itself alive with.
This sky has always been here for you every day from the moment you first opened your eyes to this world.
Let's take a moment to just understand and have gratitude for this,
For this love that never stops.
If you are under the trees or nearby,
You might be able to see the branches or leaves sway ever so gently,
Surrendering to the breeze or wind that rattles them.
They too are breathing,
Taking in the nutrients the earth is providing,
Cells changing and moving.
They are just as alive as we are,
Old friends that provide us shade and clean the air around us.
Some have even been here lifetimes,
Ancient and wise.
Let's take a moment to just take this in and have gratitude for this,
For this love that also never stops.
Take a moment now to touch the ground,
The surface,
The very place in this moment that you are resting on.
Witness your body and the connection it has with this breathing planet.
Can you feel the way that gravity is holding you,
Like the earth is hugging you home?
No place you need to go.
Just you grounding into the earth,
Safe and breathing.
This is love.
Let's take a moment to just take this in and have gratitude for this,
For this love that will always be here.
As you take a deep breath in,
Invite and accept all of these miracles that are part of you and exhale love and understanding to the planet and beings around you.
Your creation of love and connection just for being.
We often believe we are only this finite form,
But in truth we are without walls.
We are more than just what eyes can see.
We are part of this.
We are moving with this,
Flowing like the rivers and streams of the home that holds us.
It is okay to surrender to this flow.
We don't always have to uphold and carry.
I would like for you to place one hand on your heart and one hand on your stomach.
Just repeat after me to yourself.
I am safe.
I am home.
I am powerful.
I am alive.
I am boundless.
I am free.
I am earth.
I am nature.
I am loved.
I am.
I am.
Take a deep breath in for four and out.
As you move through your day,
Love,
Do your best to remember this gift you gave yourself today,
A gift of remembering your power and connection to this earth of support and love.
Sending love.
