Transcription of Meditation

Hello, everyone, welcome to the World Blessings Guided Meditations. Today's meditation is for peace and sustenance in the midst of a time of stress and upheaval. All of us, I believe, are living through a time of a lot of accelerated change. Although we may have some inner knowing or sense that our souls chose to be here, the rest of us may be feeling frightened, anxious, upset, or overwhelmed.  It can be very difficult, especially when there's a lot of the atmosphere of anxiety and fear, it can be very hard to contact your inner knowing.

This guided meditation is for that purpose, to help us to ground more deeply into a sense of trust, and peace, and inner knowing ... because each of us have a choice, and each of us have new paths that are being opened to us in the midst of this time of stress.

Take a moment now to allow yourself to be comfortable wherever you are. This is a meditation where it's particularly helpful if you can either be outside or be near the outdoors to be able to see the outside so that you can contact the Earth. If that is not possible, that's all right too because you are a part of the Earth and you'll be able to connect through the meditation.

So just take a moment now to allow yourself to relax in every part of your body and your being. Breathe. Allow your entire body to rest within the gravity of the earth.It's a reality we take for granted that we are held on the Earth and in gravity, and our bodies hold us also. Our bodies are quite miraculous. There's so much that happens in our bodies that is all of grace.

So allow yourself to feel held. Allow your thoughts to begin to drift more deeply downward away from the mental activity of this day, almost like a feather would drift slowly down to the earth. Allow yourself to imagine that you're surrounded by the most beautiful nature that you can possibly imagine. You may actually already be there which is wonderful, and then you can simply feel that around you. But if not, imagine yourself in the environment that is most beautiful to you, that is most nourishing, supportive. It could be a beach or a mountain, a forest, a lake, a backyard.

Allow yourself to feel that the entire Earth is holding you and speaking to you, speaking to your heart. Imagine that the Earth has 1,000 different voices, all of them communicating love to you. Imagine that the air that you breathe is communicating love and peace. And allow every cell of your body to feel that and resonate with that.

Love, peace, trust, simplicity, faith. Breathe into every cell of your body. The nourishment of the Earth, and the song that the Earth is singing to you. Imagine as your cells receive this nourishment, that any energies of anxiety or stress that you may be carrying start to dissipate. It's almost like static that begins to release from your energy field and from your body. Just allow it to fall off of you. Going deeper now. Your consciousness relaxing, moving into your heart, breathing. Relaxing even more now. Allowing the Earth to continue to sing to every cell in your being. 

Now, allow yourself to imagine the foundation of your being in whatever form comes to you. You may or may not actually see that foundation, but imagine that you can see it. The foundation of your being. It's your larger self, the part of you that existed before this lifetime and that will exist after this lifetime. The part of you that is always available to you no matter what else is going on. This is the foundation of your being. Allow yourself to receive an image, a picture, a thought, or a sound that represents to you the foundation of your being. And breathing deeply into that quality that is you. It is you. You are that.

Allow yourself now to breathe into your heart, and to breathe that image of the foundation of your being into your heart. Experiencing the nourishment of connecting with this deeper part of yourself. Going deeper. Allowing the very foundation of your being to be present in your heart.

And now, sending an invitation to every cell in your body that this essential self that you can begin to inhabit more of your embodied self, the part of you that's here on Earth. Every cell of your body is now invited to receive your essential self, your larger self, the foundation of your being. This part of you is now manifesting into your human embodied self in this time on the earth according to the divine will of your soul and for the greater good of all beings. 

Breathing and allowing that self that you are to be here now on the Earth. Inviting that nourishment so that at all times, you have a place to turn to no matter what's happening around you, no matter what's happening in the outer worlds. There's a place within you of guidance, of love, of nourishment, and of trust.

Breathe in this deeper self that you are into every cell, and now allow it to radiate through your energy body and your aura, so it streams forth from the cells of your body and radiates through your aura and energy field, expanding, stretching into the physical world to whatever level that it can. Feeling the ground underneath you that's supporting you. Feeling the earth that's underneath you holding you. Feeling the support of gravity.

And now giving yourself the suggestion that this deep, deep nourishment, this connection with the foundation of your being will be available to you at all times. That you have a place to go that's within you.

At this time, you can offer a prayer of gratitude to God, to The Divine, to The Creator, to All That Is, so that you and your larger being may be One. Thank you, dearest, most holy God, thank you for this meditation, thank you for all souls that are listening and receiving this light. We ask for your blessing, for your sustenance, for your gifts of light, and for your support during these challenging times. We ask that all of us may be more deeply connected to our essential selves. Amen.
