Reflect: The Gift Of Teachers

Hey there,

This is Jen with Laughing Lotus Wellness.

Welcome to our meditation practice.

Well I would welcome into our meditation,

Reflect the gift of teachers.

And as we begin our meditation today,

I invite you to take some time to get really comfortable,

Either seated or lying down.

Eyes closed or soften gaze.

Taking a moment to just lengthen,

Inhale in the exhale.

Taking just a few really mindful breaths here.

I invite you to begin our journey by tapping into the layers of your being.

Calling awareness into that outer layer of the being.

Just noticing how you're feeling physically.

Observing that.

And releasing it.

And then moving inward towards the mind space,

The busy space where ego wants to press in.

The thought body.

And flowing inward there,

Just observing how the mind is showing up today.

How the body might be telling you that it has something to say.

How the mind and the thoughts might have something to say.

One of the kindest things you can do for yourself is just really honor and recognize and observe that.

And know that when we're done with practice today,

You can pick all of those things back up and attend to them.

And next we release that moving into the layer of emotion.

Just really observing the emotions today.

What might be showing up for you.

Observing.

And as you breathe here,

You might even extend the exhale a little bit each time as you imagine releasing a layer of something.

Tying the experience of the body with the experience of the mind and the feelings and the soul.

And as we release those emotions,

We move into that next layer of being,

The insight and wisdom,

Intuition.

Again,

As you're breathing,

Just observing what's showing up in the intuition today.

Breathing here as you listen for the whisper of insight with those inner ears.

Just observing.

And then releasing.

And next we move into the layer of bliss,

Purest consciousness.

And a light alone here exists.

Just checking in with the soul today.

Again,

Breathing and extending that exhale out as you release.

And imagining again that these layers as you release are actually made up of energy.

And they just represent the different layers of energy and experience.

And now as you sink and settle here in this relaxed state,

We're going to move even deeper into relaxation as I count down from five to one.

Five,

Relaxing and releasing.

Four,

Letting go of any thoughts,

Feelings or sensations.

Three,

Falling deeper into relaxation.

Two,

Allowing yourself to be in this peaceful place.

And one completely relaxed and ready for meditation.

As we begin our journey today,

We begin with setting the tone of our practice.

And we do that setting an intention or sankhopa creating your own or using my words as your words if they resonate.

I am grateful to reflect on my inner and outer teachers in this life,

Having gratitude for the gift of the wisdom they have shared with me to amplify my own journey and purpose.

I am grateful to reflect on my inner and outer teachers in this life having gratitude for the gift of the wisdom they have shared with me to amplify my own journey and purpose.

And now beginning to rotate consciousness and awareness.

Any final adjustments to the body the props anything needed to be more comfortable.

And as we bring our awareness to the different aspects and places in the body staying in physical peace,

No need to actually move the body but just placing the awareness.

Sitting on the right side bringing the awareness and sensing healing light.

And now bringing that awareness to the front of the body,

Whole spine,

Right hip and left hip,

And now that healing light of awareness filling the whole back of the body,

The whole back of the body.

And imagine now that beautiful purple sensation and vibration at the top of the crown and then the feet and then the crown and then the feet and breathing with the awareness that that beautiful light is moving from the head to the feet and from the feet to the crown,

Imagining a sensation of the energy as that healing light flows from the crown to the feet and the feet to the crown.

And imagining now seeing the whole body as if you are seeing yourself lit in beautiful radiant light,

As if the energetic light is within you and you can see your own reflection,

Seeing your own body,

Your own light,

Seeing your whole body lit from the inside out,

The radiance of your soul flowing through all the layers of your being,

The whole body lit in light and energy and sensing that healing light of awareness in the whole body.

And as you breathe here,

I invite you to call up the angel teachers in your life,

The ones who came in human form,

Perhaps animal form and they had deep and lasting impact in a pivotal way in your life.

In this place and time state of deep reflection,

Allowing the mind to gather up these incredible teachers and one by one,

Greet them and share with them the wisdom they imparted for your journey.

And now imagining a stack of photos before you and one by one taking a moment to pause as you imagine the spiritual teachers,

Moments that were teachers.

See the flat image of the Avantar experience and in this moment allowing that sense of gratitude for the wisdom it brought you and sending love for how these moments molded you and prepared you for who you would be in this lifetime.

For the wisdom you can then pass along to others.

Taking time here to look through those photos and seeing them in a distance.

Observing the challenging emotions from a distance while really receiving the magnitude of the impact and the wisdom gained.

So as you breathe reflect.

See these components.

As you celebrate the gifts of the teachers and wisdom in your life,

Taking time here to bask in the light that is reflected from those people,

Spirits,

And experiences.

Knowing that they have shared and bestowed a light of reflection that you can then share outwardly.

But in this moment,

We just honor and observe the teachers.

Seeing that connection to something bigger than us,

The connection to everything,

And how each person,

Moment was there at exactly the right time for divine intervention and growth.

And deeply sensing that light within,

Seeing a beautiful plum hue shining within,

And how that light is pressed outward for your time and observation and awareness.

This is the gift of teachers,

The wisdom that they leave in their wake.

And returning now to our intention or sankalpa for practice,

Sending it even more deeply through the layers of your being,

Using my words as your words if they resonate.

I am grateful to reflect on my inner and outer teachers in this life,

Having gratitude for the gift of the wisdom they have shared with me to amplify my own journey and purpose.

I am grateful to reflect on my inner and outer teachers in this life,

I am grateful to reflect on my inner and outer teachers in this life,

Having gratitude for the gift of the wisdom they have shared with me to amplify my own journey and purpose.

And slowly begin to return to the Earth body,

Sensing the muscles and bones and the places that you are connected to the Earth,

And bringing awareness to how you are feeling right now,

Just noticing the experience of taking this time to identify and spend a moment honoring and observing the teachers of your life and the wisdom that they brought.

And bringing awareness to the breath in your body as it expands the chest,

Ribs and belly,

Bringing in vital life force energy.

Beginning to run the thumbs across the ends of the fingertips and bring awareness in the fingers and hands.

You might even rub your hands together creating some warmth and sensation and placing one or both hands on your heart.

Observing that gratitude for the journey,

The wisdom of the teachers.

Breathing here and pausing for this moment,

Just considering I will take this felt sense of embodying all that wisdom,

All the lessons,

The gifts of the teachers,

How this allows you to go out in the world and impact all the people around you shining that internal light out so that you can shine into the world.

And as we gently close our practice,

I invite you to take this sense of gratitude for the gifts of teachers and wisdom into your week.

Observe the shifts and how you perceive your experiences.

And if it resonates for you,

Bringing your hands to heart center in a prayer position.

As we close,

I say to you,

The gift of the teachers and wisdom in me honors the gifts and teachers wisdom and all of you.

And as we shine brighter for the reflection of love and gratitude inside us,

The process outward into the world.

We shine together from a place of love and light.

Namaste.
