The 7 hermetic principles are a powerful framework from which to process and alchemize our daily lives. Simply being aware of these principles can be very beneficial, incorporating them into your understanding of life, and applying them can alter the way you create your reality. This is the principle of Rhythm. “Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides.” I have a full course on these principles here on the InsightTimer platform if you wish to dig deeper. Thank you to the infinitely talented Tom Evans for the soundtrack!

Hi,

I'm Sabine Priestley and this is a short meditation on the 5th principle of Hermeticism,

The principle of Rhythm.

Ancient wisdom and part of the Mystery School teachings,

The 7 Hermetic Principles provide a structure,

Rhythm,

And a deeper understanding for our lives.

You can find my full course on the 7 Hermetic Principles on this platform.

If you're intrigued by such ancient wisdom,

I invite you to come and explore with me.

So,

Let's begin.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath.

Feel your body soften with the exhale.

And let yourself sink into the natural flow of your breathing.

Now I'd like you to reflect on this principle as we repeat it three times.

Everything flows out and in.

Everything has its tides.

Everything flows out and in.

Everything has its tides.

Everything flows out and in.

Everything has its tides.

Now imagine the rhythm of waves lapping on a shore.

They rise,

Crest,

And fall,

Only to rise again.

This is the rhythm of life found in nature,

Emotions,

And the seasons of your journey.

Feel how the Universal Mind,

The Zero Point Field,

Pulses with this rhythm.

You are not separate from this flow.

You are a part of its perfect dance.

So repeat and affirm after me.

I trust the ebb and flow of life.

Every phase has its purpose.

I choose to learn and grow in each phase.

I trust the ebb and flow of life.

Every phase has its purpose.

I choose to learn and grow in each phase.

I trust the ebb and flow of life.

Every phase has its purpose.

I choose to learn and grow in each phase.

Now turn your attention inward.

Notice the rhythms within you.

The steady beat of your heart.

The rise and fall of your breath.

The flow of your thoughts.

If you feel caught in a cycle that feels chaotic or overwhelming,

Imagine harmonizing with a greater universal rhythm.

Feel the waves of energy from the Zero Point Field gently lifting and guiding you.

Trust that the same force that moves the stars also governs your life.

Now repeat and affirm after me.

I am in harmony with the universal rhythm.

With attention and intention,

I align with greater precision every day.

I am in harmony with the universal rhythm.

With attention and intention,

I align with greater precision every day.

I am in harmony with the universal rhythm.

With attention and intention,

I align with greater precision every day.

Beautiful.

Now bring to mind an area of your life where you feel resistance or imbalance.

Visualize this resistance as a choppy wave.

Now see the wave smoothing out,

Finding a natural,

Effortless rhythm.

Know that after every challenge comes ease.

And after every low,

A high will follow.

Trust in the flow and allow yourself to ride the currents instead of resisting them.

And finally,

Repeat with me.

I move with the cycles of life.

Each rhythm,

Each lesson brings me closer to my highest good.

I move with the cycles of life.

Each rhythm,

Each lesson brings me closer to my highest good.

I move with the cycles of life.

Each rhythm,

Each lesson brings me closer to my highest good.

Each rhythm,

Each lesson brings me closer to my highest good.

And just like the sine wave carries information,

The waves and rhythms of your life come with lessons embedded in them.

Open your heart to receive those lessons.

Feel peace and acceptance wash over you,

Carrying you into harmony with life's natural tides.

Take a few grounding breaths,

Feeling the rhythm of your body,

Mind,

And spirit in perfect alignment.

When ready,

Open your eyes,

Carrying with you the truth of the principle of rhythm.

All things rise and fall.

Harmony comes when I float with the rhythm,

Not against it.

Until next time,

My friends.

Namaste.

Oceans waves rise and fall in rhythm. I like this. Great place to walk barefoot on the beach with wrapping around your feet and ankles.
