Experiencing Trying Times - A Group Healing Meditation

Thank you to everyone for joining us.

This is a very special session today.

We are here to comfort and support and show love for a friend going through a hard time.

We're a gathering.

No one is alone.

In these trying times,

There are other people who love and care.

We collectively are going to send good wishes to our friend.

Let's begin.

Find a comfortable seat.

Feel relaxed.

Place your hands in a comfortable setting.

If you would like to hold crystals,

Please do so.

Let's close our eyes and visualize a happy place.

Immediately,

Where does your heart and your mind bring you to?

In this soothing and comfortable place,

How do you feel?

Let's take a deep breath together.

Breathe in.

Let it go.

Let's take another deep breath in together.

In this moment,

Surrounded by loved ones,

Do not judge any thoughts or feelings that come to mind.

Embrace your feelings.

If you feel pain,

Place one hand on your heart and another on your stomach.

Breathe in.

Breathe out and know that you're loved.

While this human experience promises no one a pain-free journey,

It's comforting to know again that there are friends who are here to help us.

We are not being judged.

Right now,

We're not worrying about anyone's perception of us.

We are allowing ourselves to feel whatever it is that we feel.

If you're scared,

Again,

Keep that hand on your heart.

It's okay to be scared.

But collectively,

We are all here to do whatever we can to help.

Being emotional is completely fine.

We are emotional about the things we care the most about.

So while the fear or the sadness is frightening,

It's really another example of showing to us in our lives what really matters.

And the loving community gathered here is here because you really matter.

We can promise love.

Please repeat after me.

It is okay to allow myself to express my feelings.

It is okay to allow myself to express my feelings.

This container,

This community cares.

While some may be near and some may be far away,

The bonds are there.

Know that you make a difference in this world.

And during your hard times,

There will be those who love you and support you.

Let's take another deep breath in.

Let it out.

With this,

Know that you are loved.

Know that you are not alone.

Know that you are amazing as you are in this moment,

Whether you're vulnerable or not.

And there is love here to help guide you on your way.

Sending good wishes.
