Have you ever wanted to say something important to someone,
But found yourself unable to?
Maybe it's a conversation you've had many times,
Yet never felt truly understood.
Maybe it's a tender subject that feels too uncomfortable to approach.
Or perhaps it's someone who's no longer present in your life,
Through death,
Estrangement,
Or disconnection,
And the words remain unsaid.
This is hard,
And yet what rests on your heart deserves a safe place to be expressed.
Sometimes we can talk an issue to death without resolution.
Other times,
Words get lost in conflict or avoidance.
And sometimes we need another way,
A different kind of delivery.
In this meditation,
You'll be invited to gather the words and feelings you most want another to understand,
And then send them forward as a kind of spiritual mail.
Pope John XXIII,
Beloved for his warmth and wisdom,
Often imagined sending his guardian angel ahead to meet the angel of the person he was about to encounter,
Preparing the way for peace before the meeting even began.
Whether you picture this as an angel,
A messenger of light,
Or simply a symbol of your deepest intention,
The image can help soften barriers and open a path for understanding.
You can listen to this meditation as many times as you need.
Each time,
You may discover more that your heart longs to say.
That's okay.
Each sending is complete in itself,
And each one can bring a new layer of release and clarity.
First I will guide you into relaxation.
Then together we will prepare your message and send it safely,
With the help of your angel,
To the heart that needs to receive it.
Okay,
So I want you to find a quiet place,
Sit comfortably,
Let your breath slow and deepen.
Take a deep breath in.
Another deep breath in.
And gently release it.
Now bring to mind the person you wish to connect with.
Perhaps you've tried to explain yourself many times without being heard.
Perhaps conflict or silence has left words trapped inside.
Or maybe this person is no longer here,
And what you need to say has remained unsaid.
So next I want you to close your eyes,
And imagine holding all the words you've never been able to say,
Your hopes,
Your truths,
Your compassion,
Even the hard things.
See them become a small,
Glowing sphere in your hand,
Warm,
Complete,
And clear.
If you feel like you need more time for this,
Just press pause and continue collecting what's on your heart to get ready to send,
And then press play again.
So now imagine your angel standing at your side,
Gentle,
Calm,
And deeply familiar.
This angel knows your heart and can carry your message without distortion.
So picture your angel lifting the glowing sphere from your hands and traveling ahead to meet the angel of the one you wish to reach.
Watch as they greet one another with respect.
Then your angel offers the sphere,
The essence of what you long to communicate.
See the other's angel receive the sphere with care,
Carrying it forward to the person you hold in your heart.
Imagine your message resting before them,
Being absorbed not only by their mind,
But by their heart.
Now it's time to release the outcome.
Let go now.
You do not need to control how they respond.
Trust that your angel has delivered the message clearly,
Kindly,
And fully.
And so it is.
Take a slow breath in,
And a gentle breath out.
Notice how your body feels now.
You have spoken your heart.
You have entrusted your message to your angel,
And it has been carried safely ahead.
That delivery is complete.
There's nothing more you need to do in this moment.
The outcome belongs to them.
The peace belongs to you.
As you return to the present,
Imagine a circle of light surrounding you,
Reminding you that you are held,
Supported,
And understood.
When you are ready,
Begin to gently move your fingers and toes.
Let your awareness return to the room around you.
Take one last deep breath in,
And a long,
Slow breath out.
Carry with you the peace of knowing your heart has spoken,
And your message has been received in the place it was meant to go.
