Aloha,
I'm Reverend Cindy Palus and today we're going to do a little talk and a meditation on being.
Just being.
One of the greatest gifts you can have is learning how to meditate,
Going into that sacred space within.
Developing a relationship with yourself and with God in that private sacred space.
Not everyone has a lot of time to meditate but even if you do a few minutes of meditation you can connect with that source of all and let yourself be.
We are human beings,
Not human doings.
You is spirit,
Man is form,
Being is what makes that spirit and form be able to merge.
So in meditation we can go within that sacred space and just be with the presence,
With the spirit,
With your soul and not try and not think and not have to do,
Do,
Do.
It's a wonderful space where you can retreat to get back to your true self.
We all get barraged by so many things we have to do and by our cell phones and our beeps and things that happen in the day.
But what's important is we set the foundation for our day and even for our dreams at night.
With going back to that light and love who we really are,
That real true essence of our self.
Now we're going to go into a meditation here and I want you to just relax and set your intention to let yourself just be.
Breathe in deeply,
Remembering breath sweeps mind and as you breathe out let all thoughts go.
Breathe in,
Relax and as you breathe out just allow yourself to go deeper into who you are.
Breathe in and make that inner connection deeper and deeper and breathe out knowing that you are in a wonderful space of light and you're getting lighter and lighter as you go deeper and deeper into that place inside.
So allow yourself just to move out of your head and go into your heart.
Move into your heart of hearts,
That place where your soul and who you are and your love is based.
Allow yourself to be at home in your heart.
Go deeper into your heart and feel it blossoming and opening.
Feel it being healed and feel it welcoming you home.
Find that place within your heart of hearts where you can just be.
Let it be.
Breathe deeper into that self,
That soul there,
That light of lights.
Recognize that presence of love and who you are in your heart.
Feel it embracing you with love.
Feel yourself surrounded with that love.
Feel it filling your entire whole body until there's nothing but love and light.
Feel yourself in a bubble of light and love getting lighter and lighter,
Merging with this moment of just being able to be who you are.
You are a sacred child of God.
You are light.
You are love.
You are spirit here in this moment,
In this form.
And as you allow yourself to just be,
You feel yourself renewed and regenerated.
You feel yourself recognized for who you are.
Breathe it in,
Thank yourself for giving yourself time to be here now.
Breathe it deeply into all of your cells,
Into your entire body,
In your mind,
In your emotions,
Feeling yourself restored.
And now slowly allow yourself to come back into your waking awareness,
Your functioning mind,
Knowing that you are aware of being a loving field of light and love,
A human being sharing that experience with all of those you meet.
I'm going to close this meditation with the Aramaic Lord's Prayer.
Father,
Mother of the cosmos,
Shimmering light of all,
Focus your light within us as we breathe your holy breath.
Enter the sanctuary of our hearts,
Uniting within us the sacred rays of your power and beauty.
Let your heart's desire unite heaven and earth through our sacred union.
Help us to fulfill what lies within the circle of our lives today.
Forgive our secret fears as we freely forgive the secret fears of others.
Let us not enter into forgetfulness tempted by false appearances.
For from your astonishing fire comes the eternal song which sanctifies all,
Renewed eternally in our lives and throughout creation.
We seal these words in our hearts committed in trust and faith.
Thank you for being here today.
May you be blessed today and always.
