Welcome to a meditation and visualization practice for your community.
This is Wendy Reese Hartman.
As we move through this practice today,
I invite you to surrender into the magic of suspending your sense of belief.
Just like when you go to a movie and the actors are able to defy gravity,
Defy sense of time.
Allow yourself to simply surrender into that same sense of wonder that you can move as you need to move.
Just like that.
Come to a comfortable seated position.
Perhaps your legs are crossed or seated in a chair with your feet on the floor.
Allow the hands to rest in your lap,
One palm on top of the other,
And begin to follow your breath as it moves in and out of your body.
Take your awareness to your feet.
Imagine a warm white light that as you inhale begins to draw up your legs into the calves,
Your knees,
Thighs,
Hips,
Lower torso,
Through the ribs,
The upper back,
Down the arms,
Into your hands,
Up the neck,
Into the head,
Until it is flowing out through the crown of the head,
Cascading over you in a blanket of light,
Gathering in your palms as if you were holding a ball of light.
Imagine being 10,
000 feet above your community.
You can see the geographical boundary of this community.
Place yourself in the center of the eastern border of the community.
Find the old wise tree or rock and as you stand here in this sacred space you offer your community a blessing of good health.
You place this first ball of light on the ground in this space and it begins to send out a beam of light both to the south and to the north.
Go now to the center of the southern border right in the middle.
Again finding that ancient tree or rock where you can leave your ball of light as you offer to your community,
May you be healthy.
And as you place this ball of light that is gathered from your energy it sends out a beam of light both to the east and the west.
Find your way now to the western border right in the middle.
Again to that sacred space and as you gather that ball of light from your energy you offer your community,
May you be happy.
Placing that ball of light on the ground it sends its beams to the south and to the north and you find your way to the center of the northern border.
Finding that sacred spot,
Gathering your light as you offer to the community a blessing of freedom from fear that they may be safe both from external forces as well as their own internal thoughts and beliefs that stem from fear or trauma.
And that beam of light now goes to the east and the west.
These beams of light are now connecting,
Surrounding the entire community with these blessings.
As you stand here just inside the parameters of this light connection bring to mind three people in your community whom you would like to share a little extra energy with.
Imagine walking up handing them this ball of light,
A little extra blessing.
They may not know why they are receiving it or even what to do with it.
Just offer it as a gift.
Allow the love and the light that has come from you to penetrate through that little ball and they too have the ability to share that energy with three other people.
And as these little balls of energy are gifted from one person to the other,
We see a connection of light between our hearts.
And as if you could look down from that 10,
000 foot view again,
Seeing all of the different connections being made in your community from a place of love and light,
Radiating,
Glowing,
Beautiful.
Perhaps you can carry this energy with you as we conclude this visualization meditation and offer your own energetic gifts today.
Perhaps it's just a smile or a kind word,
Generous action.
In whatever way you feel like you can share this little ball of light in real time,
Begin to deepen your breath,
Bringing your awareness back into your body,
Back into this room,
Slowly opening your eyes as you prepare to move forward with the remainder of your day.
It has been an honor and a pleasure to guide you.
Thank you for that opportunity.
