Transcript
Hello and welcome to the peace meditation,
Holding the Torch for Peace and Love.
This meditation is about bringing about and holding a vibration that acts as a counterbalance to the vibration of war and division.
It is not intended to be geopolitical in any way.
It is simply an offering as a counterbalance with love,
Pure and simple.
Thank you for joining.
Make yourself comfortable and know that you can switch off or leave this meditation anytime when you feel you've had enough.
Make your last shuffle in a comfortable seated position,
Making sure you've put the pillows or cushions right and you have enough warmth around you to last for this meditation.
Then take three deeper breaths in and out through the nose,
Making each exhale almost a sigh,
Just letting off any extra energy or any extra breath that you've been holding on to,
Any tension from your day.
When you've finished taking these three deeper breaths,
Relax into some deeper breathing in and out through the nose,
Keeping it relaxed.
Become aware of a silky smooth inflow and outflow of the breath into the nose and the gentle rise and fall of the belly as you breathe with every exhale.
Feel your shoulders relax,
Relaxing just a little bit more.
Feel the shoulder blades ease with a relaxed feeling slowly down your back.
Allow the collarbones to soften and relax.
Bring your awareness to your whole body as it sits there.
Perhaps you're lying down,
But bring your awareness to your whole body.
Allow it to feel heavy and soft.
Become aware of the space inside your body,
Inside the head,
Shoulders,
Arms,
Hands,
Your back,
Your whole torso,
Pelvis,
Legs,
Feet,
Tips of your toes.
Be aware of the space inside the body and with every exhale,
Relax just a little bit more.
Allow the jaw to relax,
Bringing your awareness to the space outside your body and the awareness to the space inside your body.
Just bring your awareness to the top of your head,
The crown,
The crown chakra.
Bring your awareness to the very top of your scalp,
To your crown chakra and bring the awareness to the top of your head,
The crown chakra.
Bring the awareness to the sensation that you feel in this place on the top of your head.
As I speak of it,
Maybe you can feel some kind of energetic sensation,
Maybe a slight pressure,
Very slight on the top of your head or some tingling perhaps.
As you feel this,
Also bring your awareness down the front of your forehead to in between your eyebrows,
Midway between your eyebrows on the inside surface of your forehead and see if you can feel this same energetic feeling there,
Maybe a slight pressure or change in temperature or some tingling.
Now that you have some awareness in this moment of your energetic body,
Now that you're feeling a little bit more centered,
Let's begin this peace meditation by offering a mantra or prayer,
We can call this for forgiveness,
Ho'oponopono,
And let's allow it to cleanse us or act as some clearing exercise before we go further into our peace meditation.
So you can say this aloud if that feels right for you,
Wherever you may sit or lay doing this meditation or you can say it quietly inside your mind.
At the same time as me or just after,
I am sorry,
Please forgive me,
Thank you,
I love you,
I am sorry,
Please forgive me,
I'm sorry,
Please forgive me,
Thank you,
I love you,
I am sorry,
Please forgive me,
Thank you,
I love you,
I'm sorry,
Please forgive me,
Thank you,
I love you.
Continue with your own rhythm and now let's adapt this for many of us.
Please say with me aloud or quietly,
We are sorry,
Please forgive us,
Thank you,
We love you,
We are sorry,
Please forgive us,
Thank you,
We love you,
We are sorry,
Please forgive us,
Thank you,
We love you,
We're sorry,
Please forgive us,
Thank you,
We love you.
A few more times in your own way,
We are sorry,
Please forgive us,
Thank you,
We love you.
Allow your attention to come back into the body and allow the attention to rest back at the crown chakra,
Very top of the head.
Bring your awareness back to the crown chakra and let us focus on this place at the top of the head and let us now begin to feel some energy entering our body from this place.
Crown chakra representing states of higher consciousness,
Divine connection,
Higher mind,
Higher self,
Your wisdom,
Focusing on the energy here will help you recover from low periods in your life and can restore a deep sense of vitality and gratitude.
So let's take a deep breath in,
Become aware of breathing in white light into the crown chakra and breathing out any old grey energies that you may be done with,
Breathing in again pure white light and vitality in through the crown chakra at the top of the head.
See if you can become aware of a beam of white light coming down into the crown,
This place on the top of your head.
Notice if you feel anything,
Any energetic sensations,
Welcoming this white energy connecting to your crown chakra.
Becoming aware with every in-breath that you're breathing in this white light through the crown chakra and all the way down your spine.
It starts to pour in down your spine,
Going all the way down your spine,
Right down into the base of the spine,
Your tailbone,
Feeling this connection even stronger now with the beam above your crown chakra,
Getting more established and in-pouring of divine energy and enhancing and illuminating the spine energetically all the way down to the tailbone.
And as you breathe this white light in,
Notice the spine becoming more erect and more straight,
Feeling more strong and luminous,
Becoming aware at that point of the tailbone that there is a connection here to the earth.
So you're plugged in at either end from the crown chakra,
From this cosmic divine energy,
And you're bringing it down like a conduit and grounding it through your tailbone into the earth,
Welcoming fresh waves of white light and energy from the crown,
Letting it flow down to the root,
The tailbone,
And then down to the crown chakra.
Down to the root,
The tailbone,
And then let it swish around at the base of the spine and come back up and start to collect and let it pull in the heart area,
In the chest cavity,
Into the region of the heart chakra.
Every time you breathe in,
You feel fresh waves of divine white light energy coming in through the crown.
Let a lot of it come and collect into the heart space.
Some of it can go down to the base of the spine,
But notice now beginning to build up white light in the heart area,
Becoming aware of this white light.
It collects more and more in the heart with every in-breath,
These new waves of light coming in.
As more and more starts to collect in the heart,
You start to feel almost sparkles,
Sparkling white light in the heart area,
In the center of the chest,
In this heart space.
Almost you feel like the energy is getting so full up here in the heart space that you feel a kind of density of the energy.
You start to feel the pressure building up in the heart area,
Energetic pressure,
Which feels nice,
Filling the ribcage,
Filling the left and the right side of the ribcage,
Almost filling all the way up to the collarbones,
All the way to the back of the heart space,
And all the way to the front.
So much energy with every in-breath coming in from the crown chakra.
On your next in-breath,
Take a very deep breath in through the nose,
Bringing this white light down through the chakra and overflow from the heart space down through the shoulders,
Down into the arms,
Down into the hands and into the fingers.
Feel this energy overspilling now all the way down into the palms of the hands and become aware of the chakras in the palms of the hands.
And now you are switching them on.
Become aware of the tingling sensation you may feel in the palms of your hands.
And now you may lift up the palms and cross them over your heart,
One palm over the top of the other,
Across your heart,
As you continue to breathe in this light in this heart space area.
And you make a circuit now as the energy continues to overflow down through the arms,
Into the hands and come out through the palm chakras,
Going back into the heart center.
So there's a loop,
You've made a circuit,
A sort of feedback loop,
Coming down through the crown chakra into the heart space,
Overflowing down through the arms,
Out of the palm chakras and back into the heart again,
Breathing in light.
And as your hands remain crossed over your heart space,
Becoming aware of the energy now in this heart space being one of love and acceptance,
Abundance,
Good health,
Love,
That means self love,
Love for others,
Unconditional love,
Universal love,
Authentic action,
Aligning you to your true service,
Your life purpose,
Divine love.
And as you think of this love,
The light in the heart space now begins to transmute,
Begins to change in color,
And it begins to turn pink.
The white light begins to turn pink.
Turning pink,
Welcoming pink light,
Opening in the heart space now,
Welcoming the transmutation into this pure loving energy coming in from the crown chakra,
But cultivated in the heart now as a pink light,
Unconditional love,
Pink light glowing widely across the chest,
Pink light expanding to the back of the heart,
To the back of the chest,
Almost feel the back of the heart and the back of the rib cage expand.
The heart's pink energy flowing down the arms,
Coming out through the palm chakras,
Going back into the heart,
Green pink light flowing into the heart space,
Feeling completely loved and loving,
Dropping your awareness even deeper into the back of the heart,
Feeling truly connected to your heart's desires,
Feeling full and abundant,
Powerful pink light emanating from the heart.
And now you may bring the palms of the hands back down and rest them,
Keeping this pink light full in your heart.
Now project a beam of pink light out from your heart,
Out from your chest,
Project this pink light forward and project it forward onto a vision of planet earth as a sphere just suspended in the air,
Spinning,
Projecting that pink beam of light from the heart onto planet earth,
Pink light of love and peace.
Let it wash around the planet,
Let it wash around the sphere of earth as it spins,
Let it be suspended in a pink sphere of loving love energy.
And as you project this pink beam of love energy forward from your heart,
Know that you are one of millions of human beings around the world.
We're all spokes,
All connected to each other with the same loving energy.
And you are plugging into a hub of source energy.
You are part of a greater divine hole.
You project your pink beam of love forward onto planet earth.
Know that this is a projection of plugging in and connecting to the rest of humanity and to the cosmic divine energy.
So feel,
Feel comfortable and feel soothed in this projection,
This pink beam of light onto planet earth.
And now we'll go through a series of descriptions of people to shine our unconditional love beam onto.
So as you see in the mind's eye,
The planet earth held in your beam of pink love light,
Imagine too that there are other people at this time sending their love and peace with their heart energy to planet earth.
And you are not alone in this moment in time in a peace meditation for planet earth and for the people on it.
Hold in your mind's eye the idea of war on planet earth.
Hold it,
Stay with the pink energy of love.
Breathe in through the nose,
Fresh white light energy through your crown chakra.
Let the energy come down and fuel the heart.
Let it transmuted to pink loving light energy and beam it through your heart.
Your energy is inexhaustible and coming in through the crown chakra with every breath that you take in.
And it transmutes and projects out of your heart to pink heart energy light.
And for all those places in the world right now that know and are experiencing the idea of war,
Let's zoom in a little bit to a more human and personal level.
As we focus on different types of people experiencing this vibration of war right now.
So now instead of the planet earth in the middle where you're projecting your pink beam light onto,
Visualize the image of all the soldiers who are currently experiencing this vibration of war.
It doesn't matter which side they are on.
These soldiers,
Let's send them love.
The soldiers right now who may be feeling fear,
Sadness,
Loneliness,
Depression,
Helplessness.
Let's hold the vision of these soldiers,
Whichever age they may be,
With their hopes and dreams and desires,
Doing the best they can do.
Let's hold them in the pink beam of love.
Let's wash them in this pink light and send them love.
The soldiers fighting right now,
Hiding,
Wherever they may be,
Sleeping,
Moving,
Marching,
Driving for the ones that are incarcerated,
To the ones just trying to do their job,
Send them all love.
And to all military personnel,
Hold them in the pink light.
Now let's focus on all the grandfathers living in those places that are experiencing the vibration of war.
All grandfathers,
Sending them our love,
Sending your pink beam from your heart,
Sending your pink beam from your heart and connecting to their hearts,
Finding them wherever they may be around the world.
And now the grandmothers,
Visualising the grandmothers and sending them love,
Allowing the pink love from your heart,
Beam it to their hearts and lock it in.
Imagine them wherever they are.
And now let's visualise the mothers and let's bathe them in light and love,
Whether they are grandmothers or not yet,
Just normal mothers.
And now just bring that pink beam of light that you are projecting forward,
Retract it back into your heart and just feel the energy come back and collect in that heart space,
Pink glowing light radiating through your ribcage,
Glowing upwards into your shoulders and your collarbone.
Concentrate it back into a ball in the heart space and beam and project that pink light forward again into a centre place where your energy can join other people's energy who may be meditating right now.
And here I want you to visualise the fathers throughout the world right now who may be experiencing the vibration of war.
Fathers that may be involved in some way,
Either in combat or on retreat.
Fathers,
New fathers,
Older fathers,
Fathers that are absent,
Fathers that have had to leave family,
Fathers doing the best that they can do.
Let's bathe them all in pink loving light.
And now the young people,
Let's find in our heart and our mind's eye all those young people,
Young adults trying to make their way in life,
Dealing with a world,
With a vibration that maybe interrupts their progress.
Let's send them love.
Let's wash them all in our pink light.
Send love send love to their sufferings.
And now bring your focus onto the teenagers,
Trying to find their way and their place,
Trying to understand their identity.
Also suffering,
Maybe lonely or separated,
Maybe confused.
Send them love.
Feel this pink beam of light coming from the chest.
Know that you're not alone right now in sending love and loving intention.
Next let's visualise a slightly younger age group,
Just below the teens,
Those older children,
Between nine and thirteen.
Let's send them love.
Now let's send younger children love,
The ones under the age of nine.
Sending them a vibration of love and a vibration of having a peaceful heart at this time,
Without being frightened,
Feeling at peace and feeling loved.
Let's lock into their hearts and visualise them individually or as a group.
Bathe them in pink bathe them in pink light.
And now let's send our love to the toddlers and the babies,
Newborns,
Not fully aware and understanding in the light and situation that they are born into,
Pure and innocent.
Let's wrap them in love.
And now let us send some light and love to those people on their own,
Experiencing war,
Those people either widows or without any family,
Without many to communicate to.
Wherever they may be sitting,
Living,
Let's extend our love to them.
And let's extend our love to anyone else we may have forgotten about or not thinking about right now.
Those outliers,
Those that feel marginalised,
Alone,
Those that are suffering,
Those that cannot get a perspective or see a way out or see the light.
Project all your love and energy through your heartbeam onto these people.
And now with that same strength and intensity,
Let's send love to those leaders,
Leading nations and countries that may be at war.
Send them love,
Doing the best that they can do,
Doing the best that they believe in,
Knowing that while they may be in an adult body,
They still have their inner child,
Which may feel helpless at times,
Unsure,
But may feel they have to lead strongly.
Maybe they're not sure if they're doing the right thing,
This sense of unease.
Doing the best that they can do,
Let's send them love,
Including those leaders that we may feel are the ones initiating and leading battles and wars or unrest.
And those leaders that we may feel are trying to defend against that.
Let's wrap them all together,
All these leaders,
All these different nations,
However you want to name them.
Let's wrap them up all together in a pink bow and shroud them in pink glowing light.
Let's put them in a bubble of pink light,
Projecting forward your love energy from your heart.
You can hold them there suspended in this pink sphere of energy and try to visualize them tickling each other,
Making each other laugh,
Leveling out their differences,
The laughter.
And let this image fade,
But don't let it fade.
Let it fade,
Let the image fade with them laughing and tickling in the pink light.
Bring your energy,
That beam,
Back into your heart,
Retract it for a moment and feel the glow back in your body,
Radiantly glowing into your chest,
The back of your heart,
The back of your rib cage.
And now let's project it forward one last time,
Out through the front of the chest,
Beam your pink love forward and bring up the image of the planet Earth again as a sphere,
Floating in a pink sphere of light,
Suspended within the pink energy.
And as it slowly spins around,
Suspended there,
Allow that pink energy coming from your heart to find and seek out any other being on this planet that may be suffering right now,
Any other form of persecution or genocide,
Any other form of abuse.
Allow this pink light to scan and scour every single little nook and cranny of the planet,
All the humans,
All of the animals,
All of the plant life.
And now extend your love also to the mineral kingdom,
The oceans,
And Mother Earth herself for accommodating all such plans and ideas that humans wish to carry out.
Extend your love and the pink light to her and her spirit,
Herself,
Mother Earth,
For providing the stage.
Lastly,
I'd like you now to retract your pink beam of light into your heart.
Feel it as if it's a glowing pink ball in your chest,
And now allow it to disperse all over your body,
Washing through your trillions of cells,
Trillions of cells,
Bathing all the cells in pink healing love,
Cell by cell,
Loving kindness,
Unconditional love,
Connection and forgiveness and healing for six trillion of your cells.
Allow it to wash.
Feel it all over from the top of the head to the tips of the toes,
Down through the fingertips,
And then bring your awareness to the tips of the toes,
Down through the fingertips,
And then bring your awareness to the shape of your body,
Allowing the glowing pink light in the heart to stay there.
You may want to keep your heart chakra,
Your chest space open,
So you feel you can radiate this love out to the world day,
What's left of it.
Or you may want to just pat it or stroke it close with the palm of your hands,
Knowing that it exists within you,
But you've sealed it up for today,
Bringing this peace meditation to a close,
Knowing that you as a human being are very powerful.
Human to human interaction is more powerful than any corporation or government or organized entity.
We all have the power to join and unify and love the universal language.
Thank you for joining today.
