Hello and welcome to open heart meditation,
A journey into your heart,
The heart of the earth,
Heart of nature,
Heart of the universe,
And ultimately the heart of unconditional love.
So find yourself a comfortable sitting position.
This can be on the floor or on a cushion or on a chair.
If you're on a chair sit a little closer to the edge so that it's easy whichever position you choose for your body to be upright.
Feel yourself settling downward,
Connecting and rooting into the earth and let yourself feel very stable and supported.
And then gently stretch the top of your head,
The crown of your head upwards.
And you can slightly tuck your chin in so that your head,
Your neck,
Your spine are all in line.
And relax.
Soften your body.
And as you soften have a feeling of expansion from the inside.
As you loosen your body,
Slowly feel the space between all of the cells in your body getting a little farther apart.
And let your breathing just be slow and light.
As you breathe in you can imagine breathing into every cell of your body,
Bringing in energy,
Nourishment.
And as you exhale feel your body becoming clear,
Cleansed.
Feeling the vitality of every cell in your body.
Your body is full of energy.
And as you relax more this energy can flow,
Can flow freely through your body.
You can bring your awareness to some place that has tension,
Like your shoulders or your spine.
And try to feel the energy flowing through that area as you open and relax and expand.
And letting the natural vitality of your body flow,
Energizing your body,
Cleaning your body.
Everywhere is loose.
The energy in your body flowing freely.
And for one more minute,
Even opening up of your internal organs,
Feeling them soften and open.
And then gently turning your awareness to your heart,
To your physical heart and your heart center.
Allow your heart to soften and open.
Very gently and very softly,
Like warm water melting ice,
Allowing the energy in your heart to open and expand.
Feeling any tension or nervousness or any fear or anxiety in your heart to soften,
Melt away.
So that you feel your heart full of vitality.
The energy in your heart is flowing and opening.
Can imagine there's light from your heart beginning to shine out,
Connecting with the world around you and connecting with nature.
Feeling the energy and vitality of nature all around you,
All of the trees growing,
Plants.
The energy of the sun,
The energy of the oceans.
Let your heart continue to open and expand,
Connecting with the energy of nature.
Feeling energy from your heart flowing out into the world,
Into nature,
And the energy and vitality from nature flowing back into your heart.
Feeling one with nature,
One with the whole world.
Allowing the love from your heart to expand.
Connecting with the love of nature,
Love from the whole world.
And allowing your heart to soften and open a little more.
The more love from your heart shining out into the world,
And more love from the world shining back into your heart.
Your heart is full of energy,
Full of love,
Full of vitality.
And for one more minute on your own,
Allowing your heart to expand more and more.
Let your heart continue to open and expand.
Let your heart continue to open and expand.
And now allow your mind to begin to expand.
Connecting with the earth and with nature,
And then continuing,
Allowing your mind to expand out into the universe.
Getting go of your physical body,
Forgetting about the room you're in,
And feel the energy from your mind,
From your head,
Begin to expand.
Connecting with the planets,
With our solar system,
With our galaxy,
And with the whole universe.
Connecting with the unlimited energy and vitality of the whole universe.
Connecting with the universe.
And keep allowing that feeling to expand,
Merging with the universe.
Becoming one with the unlimited energy or of unconditional love from the universe.
And feel yourself as a big body of love,
Full of energy,
Full of vitality,
And full of unconditional love.
And you and the universe are one.
And for one more minute on your own,
Just allow that feeling of oneness to continue to expand.
Connecting with the universe.
And you and the universe are one.
And you and the universe are one.
And then very gently and very slowly bring your awareness back to your body.
Feeling the energy in your body and your attention going to your lower abdomen,
Deep in the center of your body,
And then allow that feeling of vitality and connection and unconditional love to flow and connect with all the areas of your life.
Feel your home full of energy,
Vitality,
And love.
Feel your relationships full of energy,
Full of vitality,
And full of unconditional love.
And feel the work that you do,
Also full of energy,
Full of vitality,
And full of love.
And you and the universe are one.
You can even imagine the town you live in with a city full of love,
Full of energy.
Seeing yourself going about your day,
Connected,
Open.
See yourself walking around your life full of energy,
Full of vitality,
Full of love.
And allowing this love and energy to flow into every area of your life.
And you and the universe are one.
And for one more minute on your own,
Any place in your life that needs more love,
More energy,
More vitality,
Just imagine that full of this energy.
Feel your whole life full and connected to unconditional love,
Unconditional energy.
And you and the universe are one.
And you and the universe are one.
And now gradually bringing your attention back to wherever you're sitting,
Feeling the cushion or the floor or chair beneath you,
Allowing yourself to take some deep breaths,
Returning back to your normal life.
And thank you for joining me in this open heart meditation.
Let your life be full of energy,
Vitality,
And unconditional love.
