I'm very grateful that you're here today to focus on your priorities,

What is important for you,

What brings you joy and what brings you happiness,

And for me,

When many of us create this possibility,

There is a frequency,

A vibration that our heart sends out to the world that is awakening,

Freedom of choice,

And this is very much what this transmission is about,

Freedom,

Being free of the old and part of the new so that what you are doing comes from a real sense that is meaningful and important for you and for the world and also for your practice.

It's wonderful if you felt resistance,

I'm not sure if you woke up with a sense of resistance,

All different situations can reveal to you resistance,

So if you woke up feeling tired or if you woke up many times in the middle of the night or if you woke up with a sense of heaviness,

Remembering the beauty and wisdom in all and every aspect of experience because everything is a gift from the Divine and as we open in a receptive way to the Divine,

Without judgment,

Without I want this or I need that,

Just being,

And all of a sudden we create a sanctuary of well-being,

A sense of tranquility and equilibrium that goes beyond all that is being reflected back in a way such as resistance,

In a way where we may fall into the old habits of struggling through the difficulties,

Through the problems,

Let that go and just feel the excitement and the sense of presence that your heart brings you back to.

Now,

I'm not saying that we should negate our feelings if they're negative or our perceptions if they're negative,

What I'm saying is to remember,

To remember that there is more than those feelings or those thoughts that may be the primary focus of the mind in that moment,

There is much more.

I woke up this morning,

It was a bit of a restless night,

If you had a restless night as well,

Know that the energies are a little bit dense and so I woke up not feeling bad as such but thinking,

Gosh,

Humanity is reaching a point within our evolution that is so dangerous,

There are so many things going on in the world that we don't even know of that really are creating a disharmony and a sense of hopelessness for many and then as I caught myself thinking in this way,

I took a deep breath into my abdomen and I breathed out,

Let go,

Let go of the weight,

Know that the angels of light carry us through all and everything,

Through every little obstacle that we face within ourselves or outside of ourselves,

We're being carried towards the light of consciousness.

Now as I remembered this,

I wanted to be more engaged than just remembering that this is a possibility to shift one's focus from worrying and stressing and creating all those hormones that then create more of the same,

Cortisol and adrenaline and be engaged in the excitement of being alive here in this complex world that we live in and so I started repeating what is known as the Lord's Prayer,

But a part of it,

Te Te Mal Kutach and a few other aspects of the Lord's Prayer and it was so interesting and I think you can do this with anything that's beautiful and meaningful,

Remind yourself that there is more,

Look around even just the spaciousness of the wonderful cosmos and sing with the cosmos,

Be excited with the cosmos,

Move with the cosmos,

Breathe in with the cosmos,

It's wonderful to know that we're not separate from our experience.

So notice the energy of worry or even the notice of looking at a problem and getting caught in the energy of that problem,

Being attached to the energy of that problem and notice what it's like to be engaged in surrendering to creation,

Divine presence in a way where you're engaged in a state of unity with beauty.

Notice that you create a state of equilibrium when you shift our hardwired biological evolutionary trait of getting caught,

The ego mind getting caught,

When you shift from this getting caught in fight or flight to nurturing or being nurtured or being open to being nurtured by the oneness that you come back to,

You're creating equilibrium,

So it doesn't mean you're negating the negative as such,

It just means you're looking at the big picture,

Seeing things in a perspective that is wiser,

That's more real,

So let us affirm our journey to this state of expanded awareness,

The bigger picture revealing itself in the way that we create a nurturing sanctuary in the midst of the noise of the external world and the internal world and notice that the noise doesn't disappear,

You're not pushing it away from the experience of being but rather it fades into a distant whisper.

Take a moment now to breathe deeply and sense this sacred space of calm and serenity expand within your breath as you breathe into your body,

Every cell of your body,

Calmness and serenity envelop every part of your being,

Bring the palms of your hands to the heart area,

Gently rest the palms of your hands onto the heart and as you take another deep breath and enter this realm of peace,

Inner peace,

Let the act of closing your eyes be a lovely,

Beautiful invitation for your essence,

The soul,

To turn inwards,

Away from the chaos of mundane life into a deep,

Reflective,

Introspective silence within,

Feel the silence invite you into a more engaged connection with this beautiful transformation that is unfolding,

Don't be judgmental as to what you're releasing or letting go of,

Simply keep coming back to the silence,

Visualize if it's difficult,

If the mind is attached to the noise,

Visualize the silence,

Visualize your breath becoming this profound instrument of transformation,

Relax the palms of your hands and if you feel guided,

Bring the palms of your hands up towards the sky,

Towards the cosmos,

So the palms of your hands facing upwards towards the heavens,

Then inhale deeply,

Now know that your breath is the breath of the cosmos,

That you're breathing much more of life than just the physical aspect of your breath,

So the breath becomes this beautiful gift that brings you home back to this present moment,

The essence of tranquility,

Inhale deeply,

All the way down into your abdomen,

Notice how you expand as you breathe in,

Then as you breathe out,

Relax the arms,

Gently let them relax to the sides of your body,

Breathe out and take a moment to be very mindful,

Be very present,

In this silence,

Repeat this cosmic breath in a way where you're guided by your heart and sense the life-giving gift that you're connecting to,

The breath of the cosmos is the manifestation of creation in all aspects of its multi-dimensionality,

Notice as you move deeper back home to the essence,

The soul of the very core of your being,

Notice that the rhythmic breath,

This meditative practice,

Means that it's very difficult to stay attached to the shadows and the stress and the anxiety that the mind may be attached to,

Move with the flow,

Notice that you're creating a bridge to inner stillness,

Where the ego-mind,

The noise of the ego-mind,

The activity of the ego-mind,

Stills to a profound sense of peace and peace prevails,

Take your time,

There is no rush,

Be engaged in the way that you welcome this rhythmic breathing as your meditation,

Through visualization,

Create this beautiful bridge to the inner stillness within,

When you feel guided,

Bring the palms of your hands together in the prayer position,

If you're guided to do so and bring the palms of your hands together,

Close to your heart,

And just allow yourself to go deeper into the sanctuary that you're now creating through your practice,

Into this heartfelt deep communication with your innermost self,

Be in a state of serenity,

Openness,

And ask yourself this beautiful question parable,

At this moment is my stress,

Is my worry that is demanding my immediate attention,

Is it as urgent as I perceive or just an illusion created by the mind,

A mirage that is distorting my perception of this beautiful present moment,

Now you can create your own words,

But just remember you're asking the very depth of your being to reveal to you the wisdom,

The answer to your prayer,

To your question,

To your reflection,

Deep breath in,

All the way down into the abdomen,

Hold the breath and breathe out,

Go a little deeper and reflect,

Reflect upon the wisdoms that are being gifted in this moment,

That are being unveiled as your profound truth,

Now let go of yesterday and tomorrow,

Allow the truth to be your present moment,

This moment of reflection is all real as you come back home to the essence of what it means to be present to all and everything in a new way,

In a new beginning,

The new beginning is the awareness that very often the attachments that we create are not as real as we believe them to be,

Now this is a direct experience,

It is an experience where your heart unveils to you a profound truth,

It is impossible to understand with the mind,

It is a direct experience where we recognize our attachments to certain thoughts and to certain feelings,

And to constellations within those thoughts and within those feelings,

In many cases those constellations and those narratives are just a fabrication of our mind,

Even the emotional communication that we are used to is an illusion on some level,

Placing exaggerated emphasis on something that is in the past and in the future,

In this moment you are giving yourself the space to allow your consciousness to move inwards,

Settling in the heart,

The spiritual center of your being,

And notice as the shadows of the mind dissolve there is lightness,

A luminosity that is expressed through excitement,

A sense of awe that gathers momentum and reveals itself as the luminous energy flowing within the breath,

Within the cosmic breath,

You can visualize your breath as this luminous energy flowing in and out of the heart space,

Embodying a new beginning,

A sacred rhythm that breathes in peace and stillness and lets go,

Purifies,

Breathes out through an extended out-breath the turmoil that we create within our minds,

The turmoil that we create within our feelings,

Now remember you're not just imagining the breath of the cosmos but you're affirming the breath of the cosmos within this moment as a beautiful celebration of being,

Since the beauty and the affirmation of your heart's capacity to resonate with the rhythm of creation,

Affirm your heart's capacity to resonate with the rhythm that is a part of the whole of creation,

Now give yourself a moment,

Maybe place your palms of your hands over your heart in a tender and gentle and soft way,

Create this beautiful gesture as a connection,

An acknowledgement that the heart and presence are so very important on this journey that I call life,

Allow this resonance,

The vibration and the frequency of the rhythm within to be in alignment with this luminosity that you are celebrating in this moment,

Now visualize this if it's easier or just sit still and sense,

Sense with the very core of your being what it means to be open and receptive to the beautiful and many gifts coming your way,

Sacred heart is calling you back to a deeper connection,

To a sense of unity that is very much your inner truth,

Now in whichever way you are called to acknowledge this,

Just spend a few moments being engaged with your inner truth,

So rather than worry or think or get caught in different feelings,

Allow the stillness of being to communicate to all different parts of your life's journey,

Allow the energy to flow into the state of luminosity and to expand into the space around you,

Into the space around you,

Meaning various constellations and various situations that you may be facing are now being illuminated by the stillness deep within your heart,

Take a moment,

You can relax your hands,

Close your eyes,

Take a moment to move inwards to affirm your heart's communication in this way,

In this moment of bound connection,

Take your time and invite a beautiful memory or an image or a remembrance of a situation,

A place or a person,

An experience,

A feeling,

A realization,

Wisdom that brings you back home to the feelings of love,

Gratitude and deep thankfulness,

Watch,

Observe those emotions that are activated by a heart now in a deep state of connection with love and envelop those thoughts,

Those connections,

Those feelings,

Those experiences,

Envelop them in the warmth and light of the stillness that the heart is now communicating within this beautiful connection,

This unity,

This is really important,

We are now inviting part of ourselves that has been suppressed throughout our evolution,

Our history,

Where survival has been the dominant paradigm,

We're inviting nurture,

To remind yourself this is not a passive experience but you're actively engaging with what truly matters,

That which is meaningful,

The profound connections,

The memories,

The experiences that shape our existence and our spiritual evolution,

Love is eternal and as we awaken the connection we have here on this earthly dimension with the beauty of love,

What it truly means when we celebrate love from within stillness,

Then we remember that after we transit this earthly dimension into the spiritual dimension,

That such spiritual evolution continues and it is those memories,

Those feelings,

That beautiful gratitude,

The appreciation,

The thankfulness,

The remembrance of unity,

It is that which creates a potential to come closer to divine presence,

Now everyone is connected to the divine,

This is creation,

Every aspect of creation is connected to every aspect of creation,

The remembrance that the spiritual heart unveils to us is very much the momentum that's created not just here on this physical dimension but also in the spiritual dimension,

So the gap that we've created in the way that we perceive reality becomes less and less as our heart becomes more and more luminous.

Now take your time,

Reflect,

Contemplate,

Remember the beauty of being,

Those memories,

Those wonderful gifts that life has revealed to you,

Remember them,

Write them down in your journal,

Allow yourself to be present to those memories from within the sanctuary that you've created,

This deep inner stillness and then when ready gently invite yourself back to the world but notice the profound shift in consciousness that you've cultivated by simply being,

Without effort,

Without judgment,

Just simply coming back to being,

Notice the subtle,

This is the language that the very deep aspect of our communication unfolds within,

The subtle,

Notice the subtle yet significant changes that you begin to perceive about yourself and about reality,

How you relate to the world around you,

This journey transcends everything.

Thank you.
