The key to changing your life and consciously creating the life you desire starts by expanding our capacity to receive.
Our capacity to receive all the beautiful and exciting gifts waiting for us and move closer to transforming into the person we know deep down we are destined to become.
Hey there conscious creators,
My name is Anthony V.
Lombardo and I'm deeply honored you pressed play today and for sharing a part of your journey with me.
You see,
Expanding your capacity to receive is really about acknowledging,
Understanding,
And then rising above anxiety and the things that make us uncomfortable.
Because in order to manifest anything new,
Anything exciting,
And anything beyond the current state of our lives,
We must be willing to venture beyond the familiar confines of our comfort zone.
There is no way around it.
If you want to receive something big in life,
You yourself must become bigger.
It requires us to step out of our comfort zone and think differently.
It forces us to expand how we feel and move past the judgments of ourselves,
Others,
And the world around us.
Because as you expand,
Your whole world expands along with you.
So in this meditation,
We are going to explore this part of ourselves and investigate how we might evolve ourselves from the inside.
How we might play bigger than we are right now and expand our capacity to receive.
So I invite you to close your eyes and just settle into your seat.
Settle into your body.
Connect with the ground beneath you and feel the connection between your feet and the solid ground.
Imagine a tree trunk coming from your spine,
Extending all the way from your spine to the center of the earth.
You might visualize an aura of calmness from the earth's core infusing into your spine.
Focus on this connection with Mother Earth.
And as you do,
Become aware of a golden light above you,
Shining down on you from infinite divine source.
This love is just for you and it's filling up your entire body.
See if you can linger in this state throughout this entire practice,
Focusing on the love above you from the universe and the calmness from Mother Earth below you.
You might gently repeat to yourself,
Love above,
Calmness below.
Love above,
Calmness below.
Focus on this state and allow my words to serve merely as a backdrop to your experience.
Imagine your life is a magnificent,
Beautiful container brimming with your infinite potential.
It is filled with the greatest possibilities of you.
See this container in your mind's eye.
Notice this container's color and shape.
How big is it?
The grander your dreams and the richer your experiences you desire,
The larger your container must become.
Consider the things you most desire in your life right now.
Call them to mind.
Are you truly open,
Receptive,
And willing to allow these things to unfold?
We may say we want a more exciting career,
A wonderful loving relationship,
Financial independence,
All to manifest in our lives.
But are we ready?
Are we capable to make space for the things we desire the most?
As you connect with that life container,
That beautiful,
Magnificent container containing your infinite possibility,
This container is really your psychological,
Spiritual,
Emotional threshold which ultimately governs the extent to which you are able to embrace new and unfamiliar opportunities and experiences in your life.
How has this threshold functioned in your life?
What boundaries has it shaped your reality and influenced how receptive you are to growing and to new experiences?
So,
If we want more love in our lives,
We must expand our capacity to receive love.
If we want a more fulfilling career,
We ourselves must expand our capacity to experience more fulfillment in our work.
If we desire more money,
We must enlarge our financial container and increase our ability to allow more money into our lives.
Even if we simply seek to be recognized and appreciated as a good friend,
Partner,
Colleague,
Or boss,
We must consider stretching ourselves and expanding our capacity to embody the qualities and actions that align with such recognition and appreciation.
Or at the very least,
We can broaden our assumptions and beliefs about what those qualities and actions might just be.
The beauty of this is we don't have to look far to initiate this type of transformation.
You are already intimately familiar with all the patterns of resistance that keep showing up in your life.
You know all too well all the people,
Places,
And things you habitually avoid but can never truly escape.
These are the very elements that hold the key to facilitating transformation and ushering in tremendous opportunities in your life.
And with that,
We can drop in some questions and begin to explore these situations with our heart.
So,
I ask you to call to mind the situations and aspects of your life that you habitually avoid and find uncomfortable and might currently feel impossible to embrace.
But I ask you,
What would happen if you purposefully engaged with those areas and pushed yourself to take small steps through them?
What would that look like?
Can you see yourself pushing through,
Even in the smallest of ways?
And what if,
Rather than resisting these uncomfortable situations,
What would happen if you tried a different approach altogether?
What would happen if you handed this over to your imagination?
Or perhaps your higher self?
Or the universe itself?
What might the possibilities be?
What might show up in your reality?
And expanding on those possibilities,
Call to mind how you typically handle these uncomfortable situations.
What if you simply chose to do the opposite of what you typically do,
Just for a day or even an hour,
Perhaps for five fleeting minutes?
That would be an interesting game to play with yourself.
Where might it take you?
And finally,
What if during these moments of unease and resistance,
You perceive the discomfort not as a weakness or pain,
But rather as a shedding of all that no longer serves you?
You might have heard of the saying,
Pain is weakness leaving the body.
Well,
Same goes for resistance.
Resistance is transformation trying to emerge from within.
So what would happen if you saw every form of resistance as a sign that you are just one step closer to manifesting the things you want,
To becoming the person you aspire to be,
And having the life you desire?
What could you do to begin seeing it in this way?
So as we end this practice,
I encourage you to write down any insights that came to you and journal about your experience.
Indeed,
It can be intimidating and downright scary to go beyond our comfort zone and to go through this process.
However,
When you courageously expand your capacity to receive,
You allow all the incredible things you wish to manifest in your life to flow into your reality with less friction and struggle.
You dismantle the walls of resistance and forge new pathways to fresh opportunities and experiences.
I firmly believe,
Friends,
Everything we desire in this life is more than a possibility.
It can be a downright likelihood.
If we are willing to evolve who we are,
I invite you to linger in that energy for a little while.
Thanks for listening.
Have a wonderful,
Beautiful,
And highly conscious day.
Much love.
