Welcome, everyone to the World Blessings Guided Meditations. Today's meditation is anchoring in your heart and connecting with your heart's guidance. This meditation is especially helpful during times where you may be feeling chaotic or scattered, or perhaps there are a lot of energies around that are kind of flying around and making it hard for you to feel centered.

This meditation is very helpful to do outside if you can and if it's not possible to be outside, I recommend standing actually since it's a short meditation. But if that's not possible, sit in some way that your feet can be in contact with the ground.

So get yourself into a good position whatever that might be and allow yourself now to become aware of your feet and to feel your feet connecting with the Earth. Even if you're not outside, feel that your feet have roots, energetic roots that reach toward the earth because you and I and all of us are a part of the Earth.

We are connected vibrationally with the Earth so allow your feet and your body to reach down and make that connection that already exists that you can strengthen so that you know that you are one with Mother Earth and one with yourself. Take some calm, relaxed, gentle breaths, allow your breathing to slow.

Now take a moment to place one or both hands over your heart, feel the warmth of your hands on your heart and feel the support that this gives to place your hands on your heart and allow your consciousness to connect with your heart and your energetic center of your heart, which is there in the middle of your chest, your heart chakra.

Just breathe and be. And you can be in the space of allowing. You may notice in that space that there are a lot of thoughts, or you may notice a chaotic feeling, or energies that feel uncomfortable, or you might notice new sensations that you're not accustomed to.

All of that is okay. You might notice emotions and the key is to simply be and accept whatever you experience without judgment, without a need to change anything. Just keep relaxing, see if your muscles can relax a little, and feel the Earth underneath your feet. Keep breathing into your heart.

Imagine that you're allowing yourself to sink in a relaxed way as though you were sinking into an easy chair. You're allowing yourself to sink into the arms of Mother Earth, breathing, relaxing, letting your consciousness now move right into your heart center.

Notice now, take a moment to pay attention specifically, to your heart chakra. It's the center of energy connected with your physical heart ... notice anything that you experience there. Some people actually see colors or images. Just pay attention gently without needing to change anything. Just making that contact with your heart chakra and having that intention to connect.

Feeling how the Earth can support you in this because the Earth has the vibration of the heart in her very being. Just relaxing, being with your heart, continuing to go deeper now into relaxation, and feel how much healing energy is possible just through being with your heart and not doing anything else. Just being, being with your heart on the Earth.

Take as long as you need in this moment. If you need to pause the tape to be with your heart in this way...

And when you're ready, allow yourself to bring to your heart any question that you may have that you're asking for guidance about. Perhaps there is a question in your heart about your life. How to handle a situation or choices you need to make? Just feel that question. It might be a question that you think about, but see if you can bring that question or those that need for clarity right into your heart chakra. You can even if you want, verbally ask.

You can say a prayer, for example, "Dear God, help me to receive inner guidance from my heart about this situation." Sometimes, verbalizing helps to magnetize the guidance from your inner being. And just holding that question, asking for guidance, asking for clarity, feeling the support of Mother Earth, allowing your body to continue to relax. Taking a moment to really feel what is happening in your heart. Holding a clear space for your larger self to communicate.

You can also pause the recording at this moment to take as long as you like to listen for the answers, for the guidance. Listening in a space of receptivity without pushing or expecting.

Breathing, relaxing and then when you're ready, perhaps you received guidance or clarity, or perhaps you didn't exactly, but you may have felt a healing presence, or perhaps you're not sure exactly what happened. And all of that is all right because this is a process and it takes sometimes practice to connect with our hearts.

So when you're ready, allow yourself to let go of that question or need for guidance that you brought to your heart, giving yourself the suggestion ... Or first of all, thanking your inner being, thanking the divine, the creator God, whatever word that you use for God, thanking the divine creator for this connection. Thanking those that guide you, your spiritual guides, thanking all of life for this moment and for this time. And giving thanks for the meditation and giving thanks for all that you've learned even if it may not be exactly what you hoped or expected.

Giving thanks and now allowing yourself to release all thoughts, all questions, all needs. Imagine a shower of light washing through your body and your heart chakra allowing you to release anything that you may need to release at this time. It's like a cleansing rain showering through your body, releasing all that needs to be released and giving yourself the suggestion and the intention that your heart chakra continue to be nourished even after we finish this meditation ...

That your heart, your heart chakra and your connection with your deeper self will continue to grow like a plant that's been rooted in the earth.  You can water it and care for it so it will grow and sprout. Breathing and relaxing and now very, very gently allow your consciousness to return.

You may want to feel yourself moving up into more of what is considered a normal waking consciousness, giving yourself the suggestion that all the blessings of this meditation will continue to work in your energy field, in your heart, and in your consciousness, continuing to bring you closer to that connection with your deepest essential self.

Now, take a few cleansing breaths and exhaling gently, breathing in from the earth, and breathing out through your mouth, breathing in through the earth, breathing out, exhaling through your mouth. You can even allow a sound to come out if that's helpful. Do that as often as it's needed and allow your energy field and your body to come into a new balance that is integrated and connected with your heart.

Now, very, very gently, open your eyes. Just take a moment to continue to feel the Earth. You might even want to move your body a little bit. It's very beautiful to have a body, even with all the difficulties, it's a gift. And now just moving, giving thanks and now taking a moment to close this meditation by placing your hands again over your heart. You may want to say a prayer. I'll say a prayer also.

Dearest most Holy God, thank you so much for this guided meditation. I ask that all those who hear it may be connected even more deeply to their inner wisdom, to their hearts, to their souls, to the truth of the divine creator. I ask this also for myself and for all beings, Amen.

Thank you so much for joining me in this World Blessings Guided Meditation. I send you so much love. Nameste and blessings.
