Greetings and welcome to today's meditation from the Octopus Meditation Series,
Regeneration and Radiance,
Reclaiming Your Unique Fullness.
Take a moment just to settle into your space,
Feeling your feet underneath you and the support behind your back.
Close your eyes if it feels right to do so.
Let your breath slow,
Soften,
And deepen.
Imagine yourself submerged in calm,
Quiet waters,
Held and weightless in the vast sea.
A gentle current guides you to a luminous cave where the octopus resides.
You watch its fluid movements,
Graceful,
Flowing,
Yet you notice something unique.
One of its arms has been lost.
But where there was once absence,
There is now regrowth.
A tender,
Glowing,
New limb emerging,
Slowly yet steadily.
This ancient being teaches you that you can regenerate.
Breathe in deeply,
Calling forward a part of you that feels incomplete,
A part of you that feels wounded,
A part of you that feels lost.
With each inhale,
Invite this part to reveal itself.
It shows as tightness,
Or dullness,
Or maybe even emotional heaviness.
Now sense the octopus extending one of its strong arms towards you,
Wrapping you in its soft,
Spiral embrace.
As you relax,
Feel yourself absorbing the octopus's regenerative power.
It's knowing that what is lost can be rebuilt.
And just take that in.
Notice how it feels.
Notice where in your body that's landing.
Visualize this power flowing through your body,
Right to the place of absence or loss within you.
Breathe gently as new energy begins to sprout,
Like a shimmering arm of your own,
Growing back what was once taken away.
With every breath,
This limb becomes stronger,
More vibrant,
More alive.
Notice it in your body.
Now the octopus begins to shimmer,
Shifting into brilliant colors,
Pinks and blues and fiery oranges and deep purples.
It reminds you that healing doesn't mean returning to what was.
It means becoming something even more radiant.
Inhale deeply and imagine your entire body filling with color,
Your unique colors,
Expressing your true essence,
The core of who you are.
What do you notice?
Are you bright reds,
Blues,
Orange,
Pinks,
Purples,
Browns,
Gold?
Those are your unique colors,
Your true essence.
Take it in.
Acknowledge it.
Celebrate it.
Embrace it.
Exhale.
Release any old dullness or limiting beliefs about your worth.
Feel yourselves remembering your brilliance,
Their brilliance,
Your combined brilliance.
Let your body glow with this renewed vibrancy.
Allow each breath to paint you with more splendor from the inside out.
Notice what's happening inside your body and just glance around and see if you can connect with that in your environment.
Something that allows you to embrace renewed vibrancy.
Remember your brilliance to anchor in your unique colors and just stay there for a while,
Noticing,
Absorbing,
Appreciating.
Soak in your own aliveness,
Knowing this color and radiance belongs only to you.
There's nobody else like you.
This is yours.
Soak it in.
And then,
Whenever you're ready,
Thank the octopus and your part for this regeneration.
Allow yourself to become stronger,
More vibrant,
More alive.
That what was taken no longer holds power because something new is growing back in its place.
That's more.
That's more.
So much more.
Slowly begin to return,
Carrying your full,
Colorful self back to this moment.
Release appreciation and thankfulness for your parts,
That they allowed you to connect with the octopus today,
That they allowed you to be able to tap into regeneration today,
That you were able to absorb the colors and the radiance and the aliveness that was here for you.
Take this with you as you go throughout the day.
Remember it.
And when you're ready,
You can open your eyes,
Wiggling your fingers and your toes.
Remember,
You are whole,
You are radiant,
And you have the power to regenerate at any time.
Thank you,
And bye-bye for now.
