Transforming Doubt & Fear With Trust

Tony Samara reminds us, with his words and long silent meditational spaces, that no matter what we are experiencing, aspects that may be perceived as positive or negative, it is our choice to be caught or to choose to trust beyond the mind and accept that transformation is happening, all is perfect, and love in our hearts is growing.

Thank you for choosing one of Tony Samara's meditational tracks today.

Taking a few moments to settle down and enjoy the sense of presence that you create just by being here,

Being present to the energy of your body,

The energy of your intuitive self,

The energy that's within freedom,

That's everywhere within freedom,

That's going beyond the old paradigms and thoughts and exploring this freedom just by being.

It's important to remember the energy beyond thoughts,

Beyond feelings,

The energy deep,

Deep within.

It's not that we need to look for anything just by being present.

The natural discovery of freedom happens.

Deep breath.

It's important to practice.

So just being is a practice,

Just being rather than being caught by distracting thoughts or interesting entertaining situations around you or even your own emotional reactions to those.

It's important just to be,

To go deeper and elevate,

Elevate towards the inner light that is guiding you every step of the way.

Now the inner light doesn't have to be a positive or something beautiful.

The inner light can be very discerning.

And our activity of discernment is a reflection of this luminosity,

Especially when it comes to deeper mind illusions and old belief systems.

It's important to know that there are many,

Many levels of understanding.

What's coming back to the gentle energy from deep within the heart,

Being aware that as we let go through discernment,

We no longer get caught in the illusions that create suffering and very often chaos that the mind is overwhelmed by or confused by.

It's important to remember that our thoughts and feelings and even moods can create a veil that prevents us from seeing the light,

From being guided.

Those beautiful steps that we take are a discernment,

A choice.

Do I need to be connected to this energy,

This energy of confusion,

This energy of pain,

This energy of suffering?

When there is a heartfelt understanding and that need is no longer there,

Habits require balance,

Needs and a mind that is caught in the more egoic aspect of itself.

Our persistent and consistent practice means transformation.

But it's not transforming pain to a sense of joy.

It's just letting go of the structure that holds onto pain,

Having a deeper sense of faith.

There may still be intensity,

There may still be chaos,

There may still be problems and difficulties.

But as we awaken consciousness,

We encounter something very surprising and very empowering.

That is,

This beautiful luminosity begins to shine on so many levels and dimensions,

Everything speeds up,

The energy becomes alive and active in ways that help us to navigate through all experiences,

Whether we label them as good or not so good.

Everything then falls into a sense of balance.

This is what coherence means.

When we trust from within coherence,

Then we're not trying to push the change in a certain direction because very often the mind creates belief systems.

This is what is better for me.

This is what is nicer.

This is what is less painful.

This is what is less chaotic.

This is whatever label we create that then becomes the carrot dangled in front of our spiritual practice and can lead us astray.

It's really important to remember that discernment doesn't come from the linear perspective,

Good,

Bad,

The linear perspective that the mind is attached to.

But discernment comes from just being present,

Settling down into this moment.

Then things look very different than what the mind believes them to be.

They look so very different that we need a little bit of patience and a deeper,

Much deeper sense of faith.

Because we will be challenged even in meditation.

We will be challenged even if guided by the light.

It's not that one place is just positive and good and nice and another place is painful,

Suffering and not so nice.

It is so much more complex.

Consciousness is more about just recognizing that which takes energy out of our bodies,

Takes energy out of our thoughts and feelings and leaves us vulnerable to the inner saboteur,

The manipulator within us.

That is driven by the ego mind.

If the ego mind wants something better or wants to feel happier,

It will create a picture.

But that picture is an illusion because it's not really how things are.

So coming back to this moment and just having faith that the light not only helps you to see more clearly and to discern more clearly,

But the light reveals to you that this moment is the state of elevation.

This moment is the state of expansion.

It means that already that conflict within you,

The conflict of trying to get somewhere outside of this moment,

Somewhere out there that is better,

Somewhere in your world that is better.

Sometimes we go into our thoughts and into our feelings.

Sometimes we go into expectations,

Other people's thoughts,

Other people's feelings.

Sometimes we go into the material thinking that that is the place where happiness will be found.

When we let go of all that,

Then we give space to the light to shine very bright.

As light shines very bright deep within us,

That is a revelation.

One aspect of the revelation is that you recognize that in this moment there is a lot of love,

The love that we seek to fill emptiness within,

But the love that is connection,

The love that is oneness,

The love where we recognize everything is in balance,

Everything is perfect as it is.

Perfection is not out there.

Perfection is the recognition of this moment.

So let us practice as we breathe in,

Breathing in coherence within this moment,

The balance within this moment,

Deep full breath.

As we breathe out,

Letting go,

Letting go,

Not of those things that you think create pain or suffering,

But letting go of the struggle,

Letting go of the tension,

Letting go of the energy that is constricting within you.

As you breathe in,

Breathing in this moment,

Elevating,

Expanding the space,

Open and receptive to the beautiful light,

Deep,

Deep within.

On the next out-breath,

In an unordered way,

Just chanting or repeating the vibration of sham,

The beautiful sound of energy,

The energy of this moment,

The energy of the space within this moment,

The creator of the unknown.

As we repeat this sacred sound on the out-breath,

Also opening up on the next in-breath,

To the deep faith that we have in our practice,

Deep stillness that we're coming back to.

Deep breath.

This is,

That what everybody forgets.

Deep breath.

The mind wanders,

Gets caught by interesting thoughts or distracted by different situations around you.

Just come back to the breath.

Relax the breath.

Move deeper into the breath.

Creating this wonderful sense of presence.

Being present to all and everything.

Present in a beautiful way to your thoughts.

Present to your feelings without judgment,

Without placing those thoughts or feelings in a good or bad box.

Just allowing the light deep within your heart to shine bright.

To shine between those dimensions that are so often invisible in the world that we are a part of.

This everyday world.

To go deeper.

To be inspired by the depth of communication as you create a sense of presence within all and everything.

Allowing the light to guide you.

This could be your intention for today,

For the rest of today in your life practice.

To just allow this sense of faith.

This deep sense of trust.

Allow this to create the space where you are guided,

Protected and supported.

Even if your mind gets caught up in the subconscious mind or gets caught up in the ego,

Unconscious self or gets caught up in the inner saboteur.

Just see that this profound sense of confusion is an aspect that reveals more light.

So as we discern through clarity,

Through deep understanding,

We can just be more and more present to the gifts coming our way.

These gifts may be invisible at first,

But as you continue in your practice to be very present,

Very aware,

All of a sudden you'll glimpse something,

You'll sense something,

You will realize something.

That something is a deep and profound communication of wisdom.

Deep breath.

Gently when you are ready.

Coming back.

And as you come back enjoying the rest of your day.

Thank you.

I started this meditation once before and had to stop about ten minutes in. My mind was to distracted to comprehend the message and I needed silence. Today I was able to stay with this meditation and I found it to be exactly what I needed, the message and the long period of breathing exercise and silence at the end. Beautiful, calming, insightful. I look forward to more of your meditations.

Thank you for this meditation. It was very calming and insightful 🙏🏿

Thank you Tony! This meditation track leads to a wonderfully peaceful Now. I will be returning to it. 🙏🏻

Thank you Tony. Calm, measured and still, a great way to start the day.

I connected deeply with your beautiful words as well as the space between your words! I look forward to following you through Insight Timer! With so much gratitude and peace within I say, thank you!

Honestly one of the best meditations I’ve heard on IT. Very powerful and comforting at the same time!

Perfect timing for this one as I am trying to calm down after a challenging event. Still have to deal with things today but in a much better head space. Taking a step back from reactions based on past stories. Thanks.

Thank you Tony. Deeply meaningful. Encouraging me to open a little more. To trust a little more. To dwell in presence. Thank you.
