Welcome to this meditation that helps you connect to your true self.
Place your hands on your heart in the centre of your chest.
With intention,
Begin to bring awareness to the connection between them and your body.
Slowly begin to breathe more deeply,
Feeling the gentle rise and fall of your chest and hands as you do.
When your attention wanders,
Return to your hands resting over your heart.
As we enter this sacred space together,
Imagine your burdens falling off you like water.
Let them trickle away,
Joining the great river of love.
Let them be carried as prayers,
Knowing that they're seen,
Known and responded to with tender affection.
Bring your attention once more to your heart and your hands of kindness resting upon it.
Imagine that divine hands rest upon yours,
Offering their great compassion and kindness as well.
There is a place within that is more true than anything else,
That is more true than any other part of yourself.
It is the very core of your being.
It is the you that is unencumbered by pain,
By the struggle of life,
By demands,
Culture or illusions.
It is the you that is completely pure,
Free and overflowing in love and joy.
It is the you that at death will finally be free to live eternally.
It is the you that has always been and always will be.
This you,
This true,
Real you is held in love.
It is enveloped in a love greater than you,
A love that is both part of you and outside of you.
You are held here in divine majesty,
Divine life and divine goodness.
This divinity is also you.
You are both human and divine.
As you're attentive to the connection between your hands and heart,
Perhaps you begin to sense this immortal,
Brilliant,
Light-filled,
True you within.
Perhaps you begin to have a sense of its heartbeat,
Its peace,
Its stillness,
Of its knowing that all shall be well.
It is from here that the gentle voice that leads and guides your life emanates.
It's from here that the answers you seek come.
They are nestled quietly and offer themselves when they're needed.
As your life unfolds,
As the thread of it weaves this way and that,
Creating the beauty,
Pain,
Glory and fullness of the life that is yours,
This you remains steadfast and sure,
Confident and rooted in deep love.
Here,
Together,
We welcome this true you,
This true self to emerge,
To be given space to speak what is true,
To stabilise you,
To ground you and bring you peace.
Here and now,
There is space to allow what is truly real within to unfurl like a flower opening to sunshine.
What do you need to know?
What needs soothing reassurance?
What are you seeking answers to?
Breathe into the part of you where that immortal,
Pure you lives.
Welcome your true self to be present.
Welcome your true self to speak.
Listen to the words of great wisdom that you carry within.
Know that you are deeply seen,
Known and loved.
Know that whatever is happening in your life,
Whatever joys or sadnesses,
Challenges or demands you are walking through,
That there is this true you,
Stable,
Grounded,
Content and peaceful,
Ever present,
Leading,
Guiding and loving.
You are held in a love beyond yourself.
You are held in a love that is strong,
Sure and unchanging.
You are intermingled and in perfect union with this love.
This is what's most true about you.
Rest here a while and receive what you need.
