Hello friends and welcome to this meditation that offers you time to be deeply seen,
Held and loved by the beloved.
As we come to this meditation,
I invite you to stillness.
Finding a comfortable position,
Either lying on the ground or in a chair.
Allowing yourself to settle,
To arrive into this space.
Noticing where you are in the room.
Noticing any sounds that you can hear outside or within the space.
Simply lowering your eyelids and letting your attention travel inwards.
Becoming aware of your body.
Notice where it's connecting to the ground or the chair.
Noticing what it's like to be supported and held.
Noticing any parts of your body that feel tense.
Releasing where you are able.
Now become aware of your breath,
Following the inhale and the exhale.
Taking two or three deeper,
Wider breaths.
As you follow your breath,
Allow the day to fall away.
Allow the burdens you've been carrying to be lifted for this time.
Receive the grace to be here.
Into this sacred space,
You receive the grace to become attentive to compassion,
Love and kindness.
This may be in the form of God,
Spirit,
Jesus,
The Divine or any other names that resonate with you and help you connect to love.
Know that you are held in love.
Wrapped in kindness.
Enveloped in great compassion.
In this safe,
Nurturing space,
Allow yourself to open like a flower opening to sunlight.
Imagine and experience yourself fully opening,
Every part of you unfurling.
The parts that you celebrate,
The parts that are content and hopeful.
The parts that are hurting,
The parts that are sad.
The parts that are angry,
The parts that are scared.
The parts that are unforgiving.
Allow all of it to open without judging it,
Criticising it or offering an opinion.
Simply let what is present in your life to open and to surface.
Spend a few moments being present to what is.
Notice how it feels to be this open.
Notice what you are experiencing as you let yourself open and be seen.
Now,
As you continue to remain open and experiencing what that's like,
Be attentive to love.
Begin to welcome love,
Compassion and kindness to all of it.
Let it all be seen,
Knowing that here there is only compassion,
Kindness and acceptance.
Receive the gift of being deeply and fully seen,
Noticed and tenderly cared for.
Receive the gift of being held and found in the centre of God's love and kindness,
Carried in the heart of love.
Know that all of what you are experiencing in life at this time matters deeply and is only responded to with love.
Remember that all of it is welcome here,
Embraced in kindness and that you are fully accepted.
You are seen,
Deeply known and fully celebrated here in this moment with all of your imperfections and struggles.
There is a place at the table for every part of you without judgement.
You are welcome here in your fullness and in your fullness are met with love,
Kindness and care.
Ask the loving spirit for what you specifically need in this moment.
Is there any part of you in particular that needs to receive love more deeply in this moment?
Is there any part of you that needs to receive love more deeply in this moment?
Do you notice a particular emotion within you to which love would be a comfort?
Do you notice a particular emotion within you to which love would be a comfort?
Is there a part of your body that is asking to be seen?
You are seen,
You are known,
You are celebrated and you are deeply,
Deeply loved.
Amen.
You are seen,
Deeply loved.
