Just take a moment and settle.
There's a lot of movement right this morning,
A lot of going on and that's okay.
You know it's the variety of life where mornings are tranquil,
Sore mornings are spinning.
Let's receive this wonderful energy.
There's a lot of energy this morning so let's just receive it and that means changing or recognizing your attitude to everything that is going on right now.
Think about it right now at this moment,
Everything that you're dealing with.
Very briefly think of the different things that you're dealing with and just send loving awareness,
Just gratitude.
Even if you might not feel gratitude about it,
Just for an exercise,
For an exploration,
Practice saying thank you,
This is good for me.
We can include the state of the country,
Thank you,
This is good for me.
Every experience,
Every challenge,
Just let them come in your mind's eye and thank them for the opportunity to bring your light out into the world,
To bring your gifts,
Your skills,
Your love.
Let's embrace fully what life is offering us and forgive yourself if there's in any way where you feel you might have come short acknowledge maybe there's areas where you might have come short and you recognize and yet forgive yourself.
Just the remembrance that everything that is coming to us is a gift from God.
It's an invitation to live our greater self,
Our potential,
To leave our full potential.
May we give ourselves as we take care of ourselves.
With the next exhalation can you settle into your own power and that means very simply feel your own breath,
Feel your heartbeat.
It's right there.
Feel the energy of digestion maybe going on in your stomach.
The energy to move around,
To think,
To respond.
Just feel how you are that power,
You are that energy.
Beyond the thoughts,
Even beyond the awareness,
You are this vital force.
Just sense into it,
This vitality,
This life force.
Feel it in the heat that your body is emanating.
And right now so much of this power is just exudes out of you effortlessly.
There is effortless in the breath.
There is effortless in the heartbeat.
There's even effortlessness in thinking,
In thoughts arising.
Not to mention the five senses,
Hearing,
Listening,
Smelling,
Tasting,
Sensing with your skin.
Take a moment to acknowledge your own power.
Feel person through you.
And one of the greatest powers is the power of self-awareness that we have as humans.
That we can be aware.
Take a moment and feel this self-aware power.
Notice that the moment you choose to be self-aware,
The mind goes quiet.
The moment you look at the mind,
The mind dissolves into awareness.
The moment you look at a thought,
It disappears.
This power of self-awareness,
It is equated to a fire that burns all the creations of the mind into awareness,
The ground of being.
You can only be self-aware of your thoughts.
Can you be self-aware of your body sensations?
Can you really feel your body as an expression of your subconscious mind?
The more you feel the body,
The more you are dissolving the conditioning of the mind.
And you soften your jaw,
Your throat.
And you soften your shoulders and chest.
And you soften your abdomen and hips.
All the way down to your legs and feet,
Including the arms and hands.
Can you make the gentle effort to experience your whole body at one glance with loving awareness?
And practice surrendering to what you are experiencing,
Releasing resistance,
Sometimes even just acknowledging your resistance.
Or you may subconsciously be resisting to life in the forms of subtle tensions in the body.
The purifying power of self-awareness.
You can even visualize it as a golden fire spreading through the body,
Consuming the agitation of the mind.
The difference is that the flames of this fire are not hot,
But they're rather refreshing,
Cooling,
Calming.
As you do that,
You may become aware of the most predominant sensation in your energy body.
That place where your awareness gravitates to.
It might be one of the chakras along the spine,
The belly,
The chest,
The throat,
The forehead.
It can often be the center of the heart.
And send loving awareness to wherever you feel any form of pressure or agitation.
The ground of my being.
The blessed ground of being.
Fulsing with the consuming fire of awareness.
