Hello and welcome.
I'd like to welcome you here.
My name is Tracy McCree.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to join me.
Today will be talking about enlightenment.
In this guided practice and meditation.
Is inspired by a few Osho quotes.
And then I'll go into a little illustration.
I'll read a short original work.
And then we'll do a guided.
A short guided practice.
Together.
To help us all.
Remember.
That we are already the light.
That we are already enlightened.
So I invite you to settle in.
And listen to this quote.
By OSHA.
Enlightenment is not something that you have to invent.
It is something that you have to discover.
It is already there.
It is not something you have to manufacture.
Enlightenment is not something alien.
Outside of you.
It is not somewhere else in time and space.
It is you.
Your very core.
And now.
Invite you to Listen to this.
Example.
If you are already this bright,
Enlightened being.
That came into the world,
That came into the earth.
As this enlightened,
Glowing being.
Why can we not remember that?
And I invite you to listen to this illustration.
So when you're born,
You come in as this bright,
Radiant,
Enlightened being,
As Osho says.
And for the purposes of this,
So we're a baby,
We're this enlightened being.
We're going to change that to be,
This is you.
But you're going to become this.
Bright glowing.
Stuffed animal when I was a kid.
I'm going to date myself here.
It was called a glow worm.
And it was about the size of a small baby.
Just picture this really cute glow worm and the face glows basically as it says and the body so it was like a night light for children but it was this little expansive glowing stuffed animal,
So.
For the purposes of this illustration,
We will be the glowworm.
It's the baby,
The expansive baby.
We're going to use this for the illustration.
So when I was younger,
Different people would come over to our house at like gatherings,
Say like Thanksgiving or Christmas,
Or it could have been like a birthday party.
And then one of our rooms was designated as the coat room.
Everyone's going to throw their coat or whatever they might have brought on the bed.
So I want you to picture you as this glowworm.
And everyone sees you.
When they first walk into the room and they're like,
Oh,
That is the cutest thing.
It's the most expansive,
Glowing little thing.
Oh,
Look at that.
And then they throw their.
.
.
Coat or their scarf or whatever they might have come with on the bed.
But it starts to cover you.
It starts to cover your light.
It starts to cover the light.
That has always been there.
That you came into the earth as.
And the more people that come to the party.
The more the light gets covered.
Like the sun would be covered by the clouds.
It's still always there.
But you start to be able to see it less and less.
You might see a little bit of a shine if there's a scarf on top of it.
And then as another jacket or layer gets layered and layered,
You see the glow less and less.
But it's always there.
So,
I invite you to keep this metaphor in mind.
And the scarves and the jackets that cover you this glow.
Would be the conditioning that comes upon you.
The beliefs,
Your own emotions or thoughts as you start to grow.
Other people's thoughts and beliefs.
The outside world's opinions.
All of these layers.
Start to cover you.
So just keep that illustration in mind.
I'm going to just read an original piece.
That I wrote.
And then we'll go into a gentle guided practice together.
To help us remember further.
As you hear these things.
Gently let go.
The people that put the scarfs upon you.
And the jackets and the layers.
Begin to naturally dissipate.
Like the clouds in the sky.
Naturally dissipating.
Revealing the sun that is already there.
So I invite you to settle in as I read the poem and then go into a gentle guided practice.
You may wish to already gently close your eyes if that feels comfortable for you.
And then we'll gently go into this.
Practice together.
Alone.
What does it mean?
How does it feel?
What does it remind me of?
I am.
I am that I am.
I am Source.
Remembrance.
Everything and nothing.
Timelessness.
New beginnings.
Opening.
Deaths.
Rebirth.
Things appearing.
Beginning.
Becoming.
All pointing back to me.
Aloneness.
Emptiness.
God.
Source.
Journey.
Empty.
Looking outside of me to see me.
To be me.
What does it mean?
Allowance.
Tenderness.
Compassion and grace.
Divine remembrance.
Everything and nothing.
Everything and nothing.
Everything and nothing.
Tender awakening.
Honesty.
Brutal honesty and truth with self.
With everything and nothing.
You.
Us.
Who am I?
Who are you?
Who is to blame?
Who is to know?
Forgiveness.
Gentleness.
The holding of cheeks.
Looking in the eye.
Letting go.
Never truly knowing or holding.
Freedom.
Heart opening,
Awakening,
Cracking open.
Why do we blame?
Why do we look outside?
When every single thing simply is.
Is us.
Is you.
Is me.
A source.
I am that I am.
I am everything and nothing.
You are all that is.
We are one.
Look into the sky.
Remember.
Look into my eyes.
Remember.
Look no further.
Remember.
Tender opening.
Awakening.
Remembering.
Embodying the truth of all that is.
Of you.
Of me.
Of one.
I am.
I am.
I am.
God.
God.
God.
Source.
Source.
Source.
From this place,
I invite you.
To settle in even further for the guided meditation.
Feeling your feet on the ground.
Feeling your sit bones.
Feeling yourself settle in and relax even further.
As you remember.
As the clouds dissipate.
As you remember.
As people start to pick up their scarves.
Their jackets.
You start to see the light.
That you naturally are.
Emanating from you.
And feel your roots descend deep into the earth.
Guided and held.
Safe and secure.
Feeling of holding of further remembrance.
Of connection.
Of all that you are.
All that we are.
Source.
And what if?
Feel this natural glow and radiance come up.
Through the soles of your feet.
Guiding you.
Holding you.
As you sit here and lay here.
And remember.
Allow the glow and flow to come up naturally into your sit bones.
To your root.
Softening.
Glowing from the inside out.
Remembering.
Allow that flow to naturally go up.
To your sacral continue to glow and flow.
What if?
You could remember more and more as you sit here.
As the jackets get removed,
As the clouds dissipate.
Expansiveness that you naturally are.
Glowing and flowing through you.
Lighting your central channel.
Coming up to the sun within in your solar plexus,
Just above your navel,
Belly button.
Allow it to flow and glow as this natural sun that you are.
Connecting with you.
With this knowing and remembrance inside of you.
And now allow your head to gently lean back.
Into the beautiful waterfall of grace.
Calming in at the top of your head.
Showering you.
What if?
You could remember.
You could naturally let this light that is within Radiate out.
Connecting with the light from above.
The light below.
The light that already is.
Expanding and glowing through your crown.
Illuminating your third eye.
Allowing for more glow and flow.
And remembrance.
Tender.
Awakening.
Gliding.
Through the stars.
As you sit and wait.
For more scarves.
To be removed.
For more clouds to dissipate.
Did you let the conditioning fall away?
Beliefs dissipate.
And you feel more expansion in your body as this glow and flow.
Down.
Your ears.
Nose,
Your throat.
Flowing and glowing in your throat chakra.
Like a warm.
Cup of tea or honey,
Naturally gliding.
Expanding.
Expanding.
Feel the remembrance come into your body.
Naturally allow your shoulders open and fall back,
Allowing this gentle flow down into your beautiful emerald green heart chakra.
The vortex of truth.
Of love.
Of compassion and grace.
Of all that you are.
And allowing the hand of the divine or source to come at your back body and hold you here.
Reminding you that you have never been alone.
That you are so helped.
As another jacket gently gets removed.
The clouds dissipate more.
As this glow and flow meets with the central sun within side of you and your solar plexus.
Meets with the ten thousand suns from above.
And from the glow of the holding of the earth beneath you.
As the last scar gets removed.
You feel this expansive radiance from within.
And someone comes to meet you.
It is you.
As you are now.
Blowing just like this gentle breeze.
Be glowworm that you are.
You place your hands on the glowing cheeks.
Your eyes meet.
And you remember.
You remember.
You remember.
But it's always bad.
In fact,
I invite you to just gently start to gently move.
Wiggling in this remembrance,
Your fingers and toes touching the hand.
The holding of you.
The remembrance of you.
And I invite you as you gently open your eyes.
Bring this remembrance.
Of enlightenment.
Of the expansiveness that you are and have always been.
May you remember.
May you remember.
Be remembered.
And I will finish with one final Osho quote.
Listen to me.
And in this very moment.
Because what I am trying to say is that you are already enlightened.
You need not be enlightened.
Enlightenment is a simple realization.
That everything is as it should be.
That is the definition of enlightenment.
Everything.
Is as it should be.
Everything is utterly perfect as it is.
May you bring this remembrance with you into your day.
Into your life.
Into the remembrance that is you.
Thank you so much for joining me for this practice.
Beautiful day.
I love you because I can.
