The Source

A guided meditation initially focusing on the path of the breath to lead you to a place of stillness and then building the peace in the mind and connecting to the heart, to help you link to the universal love energy.

Transcript

Keep your eyes closed.

Start to observe the breath.

Start to feel the in-breath as it enters into the lungs.

Start to feel the breath moving back out through the lungs as you breathe out.

Breathe in,

Feel the ribcage expand.

Breathe out,

Feel the ribcage contract.

Keep the mind focused on the breathing.

Just keeping the awareness in the lungs.

Feeling the lungs expanding,

Contracting.

Feeling the mind becoming still.

Just feel the ribcage expanding,

Contracting.

Feel the lungs letting in air.

And as you breathe out,

Feel the lungs releasing the air.

Feel the exchange of the gases for the world around you.

As the breath enters in through the nostrils,

Reaches down to the lungs.

Then as you exhale,

As the breath leaves the lungs,

It mixes back with the atmosphere.

Just bring the mind towards stillness.

Observe the thoughts and realize that they just bring confusion,

Tension.

Let them drift away.

Don't deny their existence,

But just see that they're not useful,

That they don't bring peace and stillness.

Just allow them to drift away.

Focus on the breath.

Feeling the ribcage,

The lungs expand as you breathe in.

Feeling the lungs contract as you breathe out.

Continue observing the breathing.

Continue allowing the thoughts to drift away.

You just focus the mind on the breath.

Watching the in breath,

Watching the out breath.

Enjoying the stillness that emerges in the mind as you focus the mind on the breathing.

Keep allowing the mind to come towards stillness.

The thoughts just drift away.

Realizing more and more how the thoughts are not useful,

How the stillness in the mind that you develop through observing the breath is more useful,

Brings you more peace,

More happiness,

More tranquility,

More stillness.

You continue to observe the breathing.

Watching the in breath,

Watching the out breath.

The stillness in the mind grows more and more.

As the stillness grows more and more,

As you focus more and more on the breath,

As you feel the peace build up within you through observing the breath,

You find yourself in a deep place within your heart.

Somewhere beyond your mind,

Beyond your thoughts.

A place of love that exists deep within your heart.

And just there,

You see a being of light,

Maybe an angel,

Maybe simply a being of light.

It appears to you,

It tells you that there is a unifying energy within the entire universe.

It tells you that in ancient India this energy was called Ishwara and it manifests at different times in different forms and you connect to it differently at different moments in your life.

But this unifying energy is a central principle behind the whole universe.

It's an energy of love that connects and unites the entire universe.

Sometimes this energy of Ishwara appears simply as a love that exists within every being.

Sometimes it appears as a God.

Sometimes as a being of light.

Sometimes simply just as a consciousness,

An aware consciousness that exists beyond thought.

A consciousness that emanates love,

Compassion and joy.

Sometimes it manifests as a Tao,

The way,

The natural unfolding of the universe to create more and more love each moment.

At different times throughout the history of the world it's appeared differently and in different ways,

In different cultures and you,

Your entire life have connected to it differently and you've searched for it your whole life.

This feeling of love that unites the whole universe.

And not just you,

Everyone has searched for this love.

The source from which all love emanates,

A source of unconditional love that guides the whole universe,

That has guided the whole universe and will always guide the whole universe.

We've searched for it in temples,

In different places we've searched for it in nature.

Ishwara is the underlying principle behind nature.

We've searched for it throughout the world.

When we see the source in other beings,

We search for it in other beings.

Not looking behind the veil,

Not seeing that the origin of their love and their beauty is a source.

We confuse ourselves and think that they represent the source.

But the source lies deep beyond the mask,

Deep within.

And you see how your whole life you've searched for the source through trying to achieve this or trying to achieve that.

But the angel tells you that once upon a time in heaven there was a discussion.

The source wanted to remain hidden.

And the angel spoke to the source and they decided the best way for the source to remain hidden would be to hide in the heart of each and every being.

So whilst you've searched and looked the entire universe trying to find the source of love,

It's always remained hidden deep within your own heart.

And you look now deep within your heart and you see the light that shines there.

The light that is the divine energy that sparked the entire universe.

The source of love that created the entire universe lies deep within you,

Deep within your heart.

The angel tells you you don't need to search anymore.

All the love you've ever looked for,

Ever searched for was always hidden deep inside your heart.

A spark of the divinity that created the universe is deep within you,

Deep within every being.

Not in the mask,

The external appearance,

The achievements,

The name,

The form,

The nam,

The rub,

But beyond that.

Deep inside the heart of every being lies the source,

Lies Ishvara.

The unifying principle of love that created the universe.

The angel tells you that if you look inside each day of your life you'll find the source,

It's there deep inside you.

You don't need to look or search anymore.

The spark of light that created the universe is deep inside you.

The source of love that sustains the universe is deep inside you.

The angel tells you that this love inside you,

This divine spark represents unconditional love.

Deep within your heart,

If you allow yourself to connect to it every day,

Lies unconditional love.

You feel your heart growing and expanding as you allow this unconditional love to release,

To be liberated.

This is Brahman,

This is Ishvara,

This is Purush,

This is spirit,

Love,

The divine principle of life that created the universe,

It's deep inside yourself.

You just see the light within and you see the light within expanding and growing and you see nothing but light all around you.

You know now that you're connected to Ishvara,

You're connected to the source,

That it exists here deep within your heart and it will always exist deep within your heart.

You only ever need to close your eyes,

See the light within and allow it to expand,

Sending light through the entire universe,

Connecting to the light that exists throughout the universe.

You just remain here,

Seeing the light being spread from the centre of your heart throughout the universe,

Being shared throughout the universe.

You just see light all around.

Then you slowly come back to your awareness,

You slowly rub both palms together,

Take the palms over the eyes,

Slowly move the hands away,

Slowly open the eyes,

Keeping that feeling of love and light inside you,

Keeping that feeling of light being shared throughout the universe.
