Hello everyone,
Welcome to this meditation focused on helping you recenter yourself to what you know is true,
To a state of calm,
To a state of well-being and return to the truth of love.
I'm here with you as you go through this more highly anxious time of year with the elections and,
For a moment here,
We are going to leave that world of elections,
Of anxiety,
Of our country.
We are going to enter another space so that you can let your body relax and your mind calm.
So get into a comfortable position,
Laying down or seated,
And remove all distractions from your space such as turn off the alarms on your phone,
Mute your phone sounds,
Go on to airplane mode or let your friends and family know that you're busy so that they do not disturb you.
Okay,
So now that you have settled in,
Take a couple deep breaths to ground back into your body and into this moment.
Let every inhale be a breath of life and every exhale a moment of relaxation.
Let every inhale guide you back to home in your body and every exhale let go of all the thoughts of the day.
Okay,
Close your eyes and let's go on a journey.
Envision you are seated in a lounge chair.
Your eyes pink and yellow striped and recline just enough so your face is tilted towards the sky.
It's an outdoor beach chair.
You are in Paradise Island today and outside in your favorite bathing suit.
See what color that is.
What does it make you feel to have on your favorite bathing suit?
The sun is out.
There's a couple perfect white puffy clouds.
It's breezy but just refreshing enough to cool you off from the warm sun.
You take a deep breath in and inhale the warmth and the sunshine and exhale.
Your body goes deeper into relaxation.
Right ahead you see the blue ocean majestic and infinite.
There's nothing blocking your view.
The sounds of the ocean bring you joy.
The ocean waves crashing onto the beach and dragging back into the water.
The sounds of seagulls flying above.
And it's just you on this beach.
There's no one around.
You look up and you see the palm tree leaves swaying above you creating pretty patterns on the beach,
On the sand.
Beside you on the sand is your coconut full of coconut water that is fresh and so soul giving.
You can't help yourself but smile because in this moment it is perfection.
You continue to breathe and feel all of the things.
You feel so much love in your heart to have this moment here at the beach with the palm trees and the crashing waves.
The sun is so warm and juicy.
It kisses your skin with a loving dance of light.
And that love radiates around your body and fills you up with warmth and radiation of your own love.
Here just for another moment in this place.
Now throughout the day whenever you are feeling a sense of overwhelm creep up.
Remember we only have control over our emotions,
Our reaction and our way to choose to see the world and see our life.
And though it may seem in the moment like everything is ending almost like our life is ending.
Instead close your eyes take a deep breath in and a deep breath out and hold your heart with your hands.
And remember even if your life is stripped of everything love is the only thing that will continue to hold you to bring you up to help you find hope and joy every day in those moments of despair.
Stay with your eyes closed and just lay here for a moment.
I love you and I truly mean that.
I completely understand how this all may be feeling and I'm sending you so much love and sunshine through this recording.
You can always be your own source of love and sunshine but just know in this moment I'm also here for you.
Good luck on the rest of your week.
Don't forget to smile and look up to the sky every now and then to appreciate the life we have.
