Welcome,
Welcome,
Welcome.
We're going to take a few moments and allow ourselves to come home and connect with an opportunity to transform our mindset from fear to love.
Let's settle in.
Let's invite ourselves into this moment.
I love this opportunity to take just a few minutes and start over.
I'm going to invite you to take three deep breaths.
And as you do,
Let each breath be a deeper opportunity to start brand new.
Let this moment become empty.
As we rest here in this moment,
I invite you to see that everything means nothing at all.
There's an emptiness.
There's a thousand different stories you could tell about this moment,
Yet none of those stories are actually happening.
You could say it means this,
That,
Or the other.
And yet all of those meanings aren't really out there.
Feel into that emptiness.
See that there's no place for the mind.
It's just thinking and thinking and thinking.
Naturally,
This just invites us into a deeper relaxation.
And now that we are rested in this emptiness,
This stillness,
I invite a playful examination of your life.
Can you recognize that this emptiness is always there?
Can you recognize that we're constantly telling stories?
We're constantly projecting meaning not really there.
And all the while,
As we travel through this emptiness,
What we are experiencing are our stories,
Our projections.
And this mindset that we might be with is either turning everything into a problem or turning it into an opportunity.
It's saying that this that is happening is somehow against you,
Or this that is happening is somehow for you.
This is either a problem that should not be,
Or this is an opportunity for me to see something more profound.
This is either a problem that means I'm not enough,
Or this is an opportunity for me to see that I am enough.
You see the profound difference here.
There's a mindset that's trapped in fear,
Turning everything into a problem,
Imagining monsters not really there.
And then there is a mindset that opens itself up to the adventure,
A mindset that honors the beauty of what you are,
A mindset that honors the opportunity you've been given,
A mindset that's willing to learn and grow.
And it's worthwhile mentioning of all the struggle and the difficulty you experience in your life journey,
How much of a role does this mindset play?
How much of the struggle and difficulty is a result of believing you're not enough?
Is the result of believing you're missing something?
Is the result of believing you don't deserve something?
How much is the struggle fueled by what we might call a poor and fear-based mindset?
And if we don't want to see that,
How much are we blaming the world and other people?
If we can see this clearly,
It presents a profound opportunity to get in touch with the power of transforming your mindset,
To see yourself,
Others in life with brand new eyes,
And to connect with a deeper opportunity to learn and grow.
Can you breathe in to that opportunity?
Can you be open to such a transformation?
Let's take three more deep breaths and breathe in to our willingness to transform our mindset,
Our openness for it to transform.
And then from that space of openness,
We'll continue on in our lives,
Seeing the opportunities where we can see them,
And letting go of any judgment for when we do not.
Let's breathe in to that openness.
My friend,
This is the transformation from hell.
It is the recognition that what you experience in life is to experience how you see life.
It is to experience what you turn it into,
And to deeply see this,
You discover a capacity within you to turn life into a beautiful playground that allows you to discover something beautiful on the inside of what you are,
And then share that beauty with the world.
Thanks for meditating with me.
