Welcome to episode 48,
I Am.
And I am Wendy Reese Hartman,
Your host.
There is a mantra I learned in yoga,
So Hum,
Which means I am that.
In tantric yoga,
The belief is that spirit is in everything.
It's in the materials that made the phone you're likely listening to hear this.
It's in you and me.
It's in the trees,
Your mailbox,
Shoes,
Pets,
Everything.
And if that's true,
Which I believe it is,
Then we are all here having a human experience as a way for spirit to evolve.
Spirit is in you.
It's not affected by your experiences.
It can never be swindled,
Broken,
Beaten,
Abused,
Hurt.
That's all just contrast to our true nature.
We get to experience as humans in order to evolve.
As spirits,
We are endowed with peace and joy.
Your love,
Regardless of what you've done or not done and what's been done to you,
That spirit is pure unconditional love.
Being in you,
It flows through you.
When you allow yourself to tap into this place,
Miracles flow,
Creativity abounds,
Connections happen frequently in what seem like endless coincidences.
When you tap into this place daily and try to live from this space,
Practicing kindness,
Eliminating gossip,
Helping others,
Accepting others,
You elevate consciousness,
You,
With your seemingly tiny acts of goodness.
Wait,
It gets crazier.
When you are willing to look beyond the surface of somebody,
Particularly if they drive you nuts,
And share that unconditional love,
Aka spirit,
With their spirit,
You become a healer.
As stated in A Course of Miracles,
You are the spirit in whose mind abides the miracle in which time stands still.
The miracle in which a minute spent using in these ideas becomes a time that has no limit and that has no end.
In our inspired action today,
We will play with the mantra,
So Hum,
As a gateway to your own personal evolution.
Begin to deepen your breath.
If you are in a place where you can close your eyes,
I invite you to do that.
Begin to notice the breath moving in and out of the body.
There's nothing to do or change or fix.
It's simply an awareness.
Is it shallow?
Is it deep?
Is there something that would feel more comfortable in this moment?
And begin to turn inward.
Turn your back on the world for just a few moments.
And on your next inhale,
Say to yourself,
So,
As you exhale,
Hum.
Inhaling,
So.
Exhaling,
Hum.
Inhaling,
So.
Exhaling,
Hum.
Allowing the breath to take you deeper with each So,
Hum.
Inhale,
So.
Exhale,
Hum.
Inhale,
So.
Exhale,
Hum.
Exhaling home.
Knowing that you are that.
Knowing that you are a part of all.
Knowing that all is a part of you.
A Divine Spirit untouched,
Unharmed,
Perfect in every way.
Always there to guide you.
Always there for you.
Always within you.
You cannot lose it.
It cannot be found.
It is there always.
So calm.
Begin to deepen your breath.
Taking note of how you feel at this moment and knowing that you can come back to this place,
Tap into this place anytime.
And I invite you to tap into this place regularly.
Begin to trust its guidance.
Begin to trust its reality within you.
You are worth it.
Thank you for listening.
Infinite love and gratitude.
Till next time,
Be whole.
