Just for today,
I'd like to thank Ada and Nathan Ketchy for providing the ambience used in this meditation.
It's called Dream Space,
With ukulele and humming,
And you'll find it on Insight Timer under their profile.
But here are the words it inspired me to write.
Just for today,
Awaken from the awakened dream.
When we are dreaming,
Our dreams take over our reality.
What if then,
When we're awake,
That there is another state of awakening still?
Are you ready to awaken to that notion?
Just for today,
Be mindful that the wide-awake state is open to all.
Somewhat ironically,
It is our self-aware mind that restricts access to it.
So just for the next minute,
Become aware of your thoughts.
As they arrive,
Ask them where they came from,
Who sent them and for what purpose.
Just for today,
Allow another layer to dissolve.
Attune yourself to your breath.
Become aware that the in-breath precedes the out,
Which precedes the in.
And in between,
Pay close attention to the gaps between the in and the out,
And the out and the in.
Just for today,
Having looked within,
It's time to look without.
Notice each of the notes in this ambience.
And now pay attention to the gaps between the notes.
Similarly,
The divine reality sits between the cracks in what we call our waking reality.
Just for today,
Attune to messages from the divine.
They come along as signs that often repeat themselves.
Sometimes they arrive in metaphor.
Be especially aware of repeating numbers on clocks and number plates.
They are sentinels that the divine is attempting to get your attention.
Just for today,
Fret not if divine communication is silent.
Be comfortable that all comes to those that wait.
That timing is everything.
And that messages often come along in response to a question being asked.
So just for today,
Muse on what you could do with some help with.
Where are the gaps in your resources?
What do you feel is currently missing?
Now imagine that the answer is on its way,
And watch for the signs.
Just for today,
Have in ask for a sign or some help.
Be open to how and when signs and help arrives.
Remember that the divine reality is imbued with a mischievous sense of humour.
So when your answers come along,
Remember to smile and give thanks.
Just for today,
Pass on what gifts come your way.
The awakening starts with individuals,
But is multiplied by the collective.
So give assistance and guidance,
But only when it is asked for.
Just for today,
Remember that signs often come in threes.
And that the divine reality is a trinity of energies,
Known as the triality.
It lies between the duality of the yin and the yang.
So allow the thought and the not thought,
The presence and the absence,
To merge and annul each other.
From there,
The new openings will appear.
And just for tomorrow,
Pay attention to the hypnopompic.
This is the lucid state just before you awaken.
The last dreams that you remember often contain a message,
Often two in metaphor.
And your first waking thoughts are a seed that can take your day in a direction beyond your wildest dreams.
