This meditation is designed to help gently ground you and to soothe your soul and to clear your mind and your heart in preparation for dealing with your spouse who believes differently than you.
So please sit in a comfortable position,
And any position that's comfortable,
Doesn't matter,
And close your eyes.
And if closing your eyes is a problem for you,
Just lower your gaze and soften it so you're not particularly focusing on anything with your eyes.
And take a deep breath,
The kind that fills your whole belly that makes it puff up like a big ol' balloon inside your stomach area.
You don't need to make any grandiose sounds,
Though if doing so is helpful to you,
You may.
Whatever helps you to release some tension.
Imagine that you're upon an aquifer and connected to it.
And deep within the earth are these bodies of water.
And this water flows up to you and through your root chakra.
This water is the perfect temperature for you.
It's not too hot,
Not too cold,
It's just comfortable for you.
And as it goes through your root chakra,
It fills up your entire hips,
Making your hips in a pool of gentle water,
Just swirling comfortably.
And it feels grounding,
A comfortable connection and a comfortable weight,
Like a soothing weighted blanket or a soothing,
Firm hug.
Let's put this water,
And then it flows up into your second chakra and it continues on up through third,
Fourth,
Fifth,
Sixth and seventh,
All in one great whoosh,
And it comes up and out like a fountain of your crown chakra.
It just comes out and as the water comes out,
It cleans the rest of your auric field.
Any little bits of dust and fibers,
Little bits of things that bother you,
Things you're holding on to,
Just cleans out the little residue of old wounds.
You feel comfortable and settled in yourself,
Whole and complete,
Just as you are right now.
And you're able to say and feel that you are calm of heart and clear of mind.
You are centered and firm in the knowledge of your experiences.
And you love deeply and you feel the love of the universe.
And that love of the universe shines down on you,
Making this beautiful grounding water coming up from the earth,
Sparkle and dazzle like diamonds and crystals,
Giving you energy and vitality.
And it's soothing and relaxing and helps you to know that the universe is not out to get you and that differences are not your enemy.
But there are so many ways to connect and create community with another person that you can see more clearly all the different ways you can come together with the person you love most.
I am calm of heart and clear of mind.
I love you my spouse deeply and sincerely without abandon.
I love you without any restrictions.
And though we have differences of belief and different experiences,
I know there are so many ways for us to connect and for us to express love for one another and to respect one another and to learn from one another and to enjoy one another's company.
I can do this because I am settled in myself.
I know that what I have experienced is true and feel no threat when others do not share in those experiences even when they are my spouse.
And I feel such gratitude for the universe,
To our creator,
For all the beauty and variety there is.
Take a few more deep breaths.
Slowly begin to wiggle your toes,
Your fingers,
Roll your shoulders.
And when you are ready,
You may open your eyes and breathe in.
As you breathe out,
Smile.
