Welcome everyone to the World Blessings Guided Meditations. Today's meditation isabout holding light in the midst of great contraction and darkness. There's a way that we can sustain ourselves, even during times when things feel very, very heavy and they appear immovable.

Allow yourself now, if you can possibly do this meditation outside, that will help in receiving the light that exists in the earth that is a support. So, take a moment if you can, and if not, see if you can seat to yourself near a window, if that's possible, it may not be. Another option, if you're indoors or you don't have access to windows or the outdoors, you can also imagine that you're outside, and that will create that connection.

Now, just take a moment to relax, to feel the gravity of the earth supporting you, and allow yourself to experience the life and nature that is part of the earth. If you're blessed enough to be in a beautiful nature space, you can take that in through your eyes and through looking or you can imagine this.

Allow yourself to breathe in the vitality and the life of nature, and of the earth. And even at this moment, when the earth is suffering, there is still so much vitality and new light that is available on an energy level for us. And that new light is allowing the earth to change also. So, allowing yourself to breathe in the light from the earth. You can imagine this light coming up through the bottoms of your feet, and imagine that your breath is magnetically pulling the light from the earth into each cell of your body, creating more radiance, more support, more of the vibration of calm, and flow, and peace.

With each breath, feel this light moving upwards into every cell of your body, bringing calm and relaxation, peace, and a sense of contentment, just to be in this moment. Allowing this beautiful light from the earth to travel upwards from your feet and move into your heart, bringing calm, and comfort, relaxation. Allowing the light from the earth to slowly and gently dissolve any armoring or contraction that you might be carrying or perhaps any energies you may have taken on in your heart.

Allowing the light from the earth to dissolve anything that can be released, and feeling your out-breath as you breathe out. Allowing yourself to release anything that is contracted or tense, anything you may have been holding in your body, your mind or energy field. Breathing in the beautiful light of the earth and breathing out anything of contraction or tension. And allow yourself to imagine that you're surrounded in an aura of white light.

As you're breathing in and breathing out, you become aware of a sphere of beautiful white light, and it's all around you. It's the light of your soul, the light of your soul's knowledge. It's the light of your soul's purpose. It's the light that carries the experience of you as part of all. It's the part of you that never left for oneness, even when you incarnated into the world to form. Breathing in, breathing out. Breathing in, breathing out. Feeling with each breath that the sphere of white light around you becomes more brilliant and more palpable. You can feel it more strongly around you, and allow yourself to experience that this light, that is you, is inviolable. It is not able to be taken from you.

It is your soul's essence. Regardless of your life circumstances, regardless of energies that may be very difficult, this light that is you is eternal and is not able to be touched or changed because it is part of the all, and it's part of God, Creator. It's part of the oneness. So, as you breathe in and feel more light moving into your body, through your feet and up to your heart, and as you breathe out and release any tension or stress, allow yourself now to experience the sphere that is you growing larger and more brilliant, expanding, retaining its soul essence that is you, but expanding, becoming larger, becoming more present in your daily consciousness, being more present in your consciousness now.

Now, allow yourself to imagine around this beautiful sphere of white light is a golden light. It's a golden light of protection and support from the spiritual realms. It's adding to your own light and it's bringing you everything that you need in this moment of life, even in a moment of difficulty, a moment of contraction, a time of great heaviness, a time when you may feel imprisoned or stuck. This golden light from the spiritual realms is surrounding the beautiful sphere of white light and adding to you and supporting you, providing nourishment and bringing you everything that you need to get through this time. Breathing in and breathing out. Breathing in and breathing out.

Now, dearest beloveds, allow yourself to breathe into your heart and feel in your heart a prayer. Whatever that prayer is for yourself, offer that prayer from your deepest heart to the divine, to the creator, to the one, to God, in whatever name or form that you know. Whatever your prayer is, allow yourself to ask for that which you most desire and crave.  I'll add some prayers also.

Dearest most holy God, we ask that all those listening to this meditation may receive the comfort and the knowing of their own divine, heritage, and being. We ask that this inner knowing be strengthened for all beings. We ask that all beings on the earth be upheld during this time of difficulty. We ask that Your holy light on the earth may continue to increase and that all paths may open towards healing and redemption. We ask this in Your holy name. Amen.

Now, dearest beloveds, just breathing into your heart, you may want to put your hands over your heart, allowing yourself now to bring your consciousness back into your body, your heart, and your feet. Breathing in the light that you've received. Giving yourself the suggestion that this light will continue to stay with you in your body and being, and continue to nourish and support you.

Bringing your awareness back down to your feet, and now opening your eyes. Feeling the blessing of opening your eyes and being present in this moment. Giving thanks to God, to the creator, to the divine, for all that was able to be shared. And then when you're ready, gently open your eyes.
