Welcome to Be With Melinda,
A place for soul restoration and healing on all levels.
Today we will journey through all five levels of the soul in Kabbalah.
This meditation is called Rooted in Shekhinah,
The Whole Soul.
Find a comfortable position,
Seated or lying down.
Close your eyes.
Feel the gentle rhythm of your breath.
We will ascend from earth to heaven and return again,
Blessing each level of the soul,
Gathering its gifts and carrying them into your life.
Inhale,
Feeling the breath fill your belly,
Your legs,
Your feet.
Exhale into Malchut,
The holy ground of the body.
The Nefesh lives in every cell and your blood in the rhythm of your heartbeat.
It anchors your soul to the physical world.
Inhale,
Drawing the breath into your chest.
Exhale into the sanctuary of your heart.
On your right side rests Chesed,
Loving kindness.
On your left side rests Givurah,
Sacred strength.
Between them in the center of your chest is Tiferet,
Harmony,
The dwelling place of your Ruach.
Inhale,
Letting the breath rise into the center of your forehead.
Exhale into the clarity of mind,
Open to the light above.
On the upper left of your head is Binah,
Understanding.
On the upper right is Chochmah,
Wisdom.
Above them both hovers Keter,
The crown will of the divine.
Together they form the palace of your Neshama,
Where Shekhinah's light pours into awareness.
Inhale,
Breathing with Imkol Ha'olam,
The whole world.
Exhale into the Yam Ha'Chayim,
The sea of life.
Chaya is not confined within your body.
It radiates outward an aura of living connection streaming from Keter down both sides of the tree,
Merging into the great field of life that holds us all.
Inhale,
Rising into Keter,
El Yon,
The supreme crown.
Exhale,
Resting in Echad,
The oneness.
Yechidah is above the tree,
Beyond Al Siferot.
It is felt as a radiant point above the crown of your head and at the same time as a hidden flame in the center of your heart.
It is your eternal,
Indivisible union with the Divine.
Now gently descend,
Bringing the blessings of each level with you,
From Yechidah's oneness into Chaya's living unity.
From Chaya into Neshama's wisdom.
From Neshama into Ruach's compassion.
From Ruach into Nefesh,
The vitality of the blood.
You are whole.
You are alive.
From Melchut to Keter,
All levels of your soul are present,
Harmonized and blessed.
May Shechina guide your steps,
Breathe through your heart,
Enlighten your mind and unite your spirit with all life and return you always to the eternal oneness from which you came.
When you are ready,
Open your eyes,
Carrying the whole soul into the world.
Amen.
