If you want to support a loved one in healing and transformation,
This can be a perfect meditation for you to do,
To have more understanding towards someone who may be suffering and also learn how to bring a healing presence forward that they so deeply want and need.
It's not about knowing all the right words to say or trying to fix what they are going through.
Offering your full presence,
Unconditional love and acceptance can be the medicine.
So find a comfortable seated position and close your eyes.
Connecting to the genuine,
Pure desire within your heart to offer comfort and healing to those who may be in pain right now.
Allow yourself to breathe slowly and deeply as you become centered within yourself.
Feel your own alignment,
Feel so grounded in your own energy and presence.
It is from this anchored space within your own being that you can show up and be of the highest service to others without even saying a word.
Often when people are hurt,
Trying to cope or going through a hard time,
Being shown some unconditional love,
Kindness and presence is what makes them feel safe and accepted.
It can soften the hardness or barriers they have put up.
They can see that you truly see them underneath what they are currently experiencing or going through.
It is then that they may have the courage to see the truth of reality and move through the pain that wants to be felt and integrated.
Perhaps you become aware of a time when someone saw deeply into you when you were suffering and in that moment you felt a healing occur,
A softening,
Simply through their compassionate and unconditional presence.
When someone is reminded of their divinity or even just of the power and strength that they have within them from your unconditional loving presence or words,
It is often that then they can remember or rediscover their true empowerment that they were not aware of before or perhaps were denying themselves because they did not believe in their own worthiness.
They may realize that they belong here in this lifetime and that there is so much goodness within them,
No matter what they have gone through or experienced in their life.
They may have the ability to access their heart and inner guidance through the gateway of your powerful state of being.
They can then move forward bit by bit,
Creating a happy life for themselves and feeling full of purpose,
Whatever that looks like for them,
Because they had someone like you who could hold space for them without trying to change or fix anything,
But allowing them to feel,
Process and transform at their own pace.
Ultimately we can create a space for transformation to occur just by embodying or expressing unconditional love,
Our own divine presence.
We allow the shift in energy in this space to create healing in someone's consciousness if they are willing to open up to it and accept it.
Take a moment now to tune into your heart and feel the love within you.
Let this warmth and softness radiate outwards.
Feel the powerful presence of love.
I now invite you to visualize a person or animal that may be in pain or suffering right now that you would like to bring this loving presence to,
And send this love to them.
Offer it up to them and let it wrap them in so much love and healing light.
Dedicate the next 5 minutes to embody this state of being and allow the receiver to be held in this love.
Whatever the response is,
It is all ok.
You are not responsible for what they do with this love or if they accept it or not.
You are simply being the lighthouse of presence and love for them to attune to if they choose.
Beautiful.
Thank you so much for your loving,
Healing presence.
It can be very unhelpful and harmful if we do not come from a place of compassion and unconditional love,
And instead use disapproving words towards someone who is going through a hard time.
If we make it clear that we wish they were acting or feeling differently,
Coming from a place of judgement and non-acceptance,
This really only represents our resistance to it.
Often someone in pain will feel even more separated,
Misunderstood and alone if you act out towards them based on your own triggers.
Perhaps we have suppressed these emotions within which is why we may find it so hard for us to see them,
And we may not be able to be with the shared aspect of our humanity that can feel so much and so vastly.
So contemplate how you find sitting with the heaviness or more challenging emotions when you are with someone struggling.
Do you find yourself wanting them to suppress or deny it,
Or think more positively?
Or do you find that you can sit with them in the darkness and understand,
Yet not be dragged down into despair yourself?
We are all unique,
Yet have a shared sense of humanity.
People are not meant to be clones of your own version of what you think people should be like.
True love is unconditional,
A state of being,
And at the core,
What we all are at our essence.
Although many of us were brought up being shown conditional love,
Where we felt forced to suppress and reject our so-called unlovable parts,
And learn that we are only loved when we meet someone's conditions or expectations of us.
Learning to love unconditionally could really be the journey of many lifetimes to master.
To remember,
Embody and express the love that we are,
And to be that no matter what.
In life we will come up against all that which challenges us in this regard,
So become as conscious as you can when it does arise.
You can have compassion and set healthy boundaries for your own self-love if required,
But also treat others how you would like to be treated to the best of your ability.
See the opportunity that is presenting itself,
And be a person of unconditional love and demonstrate what it is to be an awakened human being who uses love as a catalyst for transformation.
Thank you for being you,
And for having the pure desire to hold space for another's healing.
This practice,
Using the power of your consciousness and energy,
Has affected them even though you may not be with them in the physical right now.
I invite you to take three conscious breaths as we come to the end of this practice,
Feeling so much appreciation and love in your heart for yourself,
For the other,
And for life.
And when you are ready,
You can open your eyes,
Knowing that you are a gift to the world.
