Hi,
Welcome back.
So at the moment I think everyone feels heaviness in their heart with a lot of thoughts and feelings and emotions.
And each minute,
Each hour those emotions and feelings may change and it just feels sort of heavy.
And there's just a heaviness at the moment.
So I want to take a moment for a meditation on lighting up the dark.
There has to be hope.
We need to believe in hope.
So as we begin,
You may find a comfortable seat,
You may lay down,
Whatever feels good and natural to you.
You can be in a chair,
On a sofa,
Just be comfortable and just close your eyes and just follow your breath.
Notice your inhale,
Your exhale.
As you gently bring your focus within,
Inside you.
Just allow each breath that you take to soften the muscles,
To soften your shoulders,
Creating some space between your shoulders and your ears.
Softening the muscles in your face.
And just being with each breath as you inhale,
As you exhale.
As you breathe in,
Just breathe in some love,
Some healing energy.
Just notice the warmth of that breath.
And as you breathe out,
Just release some tension as you allow the support of your chair,
Off the ground,
Taking the weight of your body,
Just grounding you.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
And you inhale,
Go deep down towards your belly and slowly exhale.
Inhale,
Exhale.
As you relax,
Just relax.
And as you relax,
As you soften,
You visualize yourself walking under a star filled sky.
Each step,
One foot in front of the other,
Is slow,
Is precise,
As each step is grounding you,
Feeling the energy travelling up from your feet all the way to the crown of your head.
Each step is taking you closer to a fire crackling in the distance.
You see the sparks and the embers of the fire lighting up the darkened sky.
You see wood being added to the fire as people are sat around,
Feeling the warmth of the fire.
The laughter,
Their voices gently reaching you.
The voices getting louder as you continue to walk towards the fire.
You see the embers and the sparks rising up into the sky.
As you get closer to the fire,
You begin to feel the glow and the heat emanating.
You join others around the fire pit.
You feel the warmth on your face.
You feel the glow of the fire surround you.
Your gaze follows an amber as it is glittering and gleaming.
You see the small orange sparks flying up into the air.
You allow each amber to be your light,
Lighting up the dark sky.
You allow each spark to be your hope,
Lighting up the dark sky.
You see them dance.
You see them float as they reach,
Moving away from the fire to share your hopes,
Your light with the world.
You are lighting up the dark sky.
You feel the warmth of the fire.
You feel the glow of the fire lighting you.
You allow each spark to be your hope,
Lighting up the dark sky.
You allow each amber to be your light,
Lighting up the dark sky.
You see them dance.
You see them float as they reach,
Moving away from the fire to share your hopes,
Your light with the world.
You are lighting up the dark.
Take a breath in.
Slowly exhale.
May each sunrise bring hope.
And may each sunset bring peace.
Namaste.
Namaste.
Namaste.
Namaste.
