[Live] Descend into Presence

This is an opening meditation resourced from one of my live events titled [Deepen into Power]. In this meditation, we will land back into the present, tune into body-based sensations as our anchor, and feel the expansive spaciousness that can be activated once we take a moment to breathe a little bit deeper. ***For those who have past religious trauma experiences, please note that at the end of this live meditation, there's a prayer that refers to God.

All right,

Let's get ready to get started.

So before we talk about anything,

I would like to invite you to just come into the space with me.

So either you would like to close your eyes or keep them open to whatever posture you like to take.

Just take a minute and get comfortable.

Allow yourself to just devote some time to your well-being.

Start to take some deep breath.

Allow the breath to really expand your body.

Allow it to stretch.

Allow yourself to be felt at this present moment.

Feel the infinite space inside of you,

The dark unknown and the source of your light.

And gently move your head,

Your neck,

Your shoulders,

Your belly,

Your pelvis,

Your legs,

Wiggle your toes,

And wiggle your hand,

Your fingers.

Feel yourself truly alive at this moment.

The sensation of your body,

This temple,

This vehicle that makes the present moment possible.

Perhaps give gratitude to your body.

Thank your body for all that it does for you,

For trying to heal you,

For allowing you to experience life,

Be held by another human being,

And to spread love and peace into this world.

Recognize the radiance that is you at this moment.

It doesn't matter what goes on in life,

What you experience,

The setbacks,

The so-called failures,

The mistakes,

Things that other people do that might bother you.

All of those are simply distractions.

Because no matter what goes on in your life,

Notice that your radiance is alive right here,

Right now.

Take another deep breath,

And allow the last little tension inside of your body to simply be let out.

And to open up the space,

I would like to offer up a prayer.

I pray that whatever messages that are transmitted tonight,

That only the truest words may find those who are willing to listen.

I pray that we are held by love,

By God.

In this container,

We're always safe.

And I pray that those who are brave and come in here with an open heart may find the peace and love inside of them that may heal and bring solace to all that needs to be healed.

Amen.
