Welcome,
Welcome everyone.
This meditation will be a really powerful one,
I hope and project.
I recently have been spending time in a really rich spiritual land of Bali in Indonesia.
I have been learning deeply about spirits of the land.
There's a word in Balinese,
The Nizkala,
Nizkala is the world that we don't see.
It's said to be much bigger,
Much more vast than the world that we do.
So today will be a meditation to expand our awareness to the world that we do see and to welcome the world that we don't see that's always around us.
So let's roll the shoulders back,
We sit up tall,
The side body becomes long and we find spaciousness in between the vertebrae as we anchor our roots down,
Our sitting bones,
Our tailbone roots down.
The breath starts to lengthen very slightly.
No need to control and seeing if we can start to be aware of the space,
The ether that surrounds our body.
See if we can start to know,
See if we can start to notice all of the air touching our skin.
See if we can notice our connection of skin to this world that surrounds us.
And if you feel comfortable,
You can place your hands on the ground in front of you slowly and see if you can tune into the richness of whatever land you're in on this earth.
See if you can feel the personality,
The soul and the spirit of the land that you're currently in.
See if you can feel the richness of the soil and the plants and the beings that may be near the land that you're in.
See if you can soak up that spirit and see if that spirit can come inside of you and you can feel it interacting with your body,
With your spirit,
Like playing together,
Getting to know each other.
And in our minds,
We can start to acknowledge the spirit and we can say the following words either out loud or in our mind,
Whatever feels good.
Thank you for allowing me to live here,
To be here,
To reside on this land.
I feel and acknowledge your presence.
May my time here on this land be blessed with gratitude,
Expansion and love.
May I always be protected.
May I always be thankful for the spirits of this land.
May I be guided and safe.
May all beings that reside on this land find harmony and love and guidance.
May my actions help them find harmony and peace.
Let's see if we can feel this spirit connected to us.
As we take a deep,
Deep inhale,
Bringing it up through our roots,
Up to our mind,
To our third eye and release it back down through the body,
Through the center and the core of our being out our sitting bones back into the ground.
And as we acknowledge these beings,
We can start to acknowledge those who came before us.
On this land,
The caretakers of this land,
Made it possible for us to be able to arrive and have a life here.
And behind us,
We can feel the lineage of those who came before us in our own lives,
Our ancestors,
Our parents,
Grandparents,
Almost standing behind you,
A long line of those who came before us.
As if you can feel them supporting you behind you and to either side of you,
Standing in a row next to you,
Those who are here to attend the land that we now reside on,
That we are now presently standing on.
And with a deep sense of gratitude for this line,
For this lineage,
We thank you to all each and every person,
Each and every being that allow for us to walk this planet,
To walk this land.
We can let go of this visualization.
And let's take a moment to acknowledge the seen and unseen beings near and far.
May we welcome these beings into our space and acknowledge that they just want to be seen and heard just like us.
May we ask any seen or unseen beings permission to be in this space that we wish no harm,
That we come in peace,
That we are here in peace.
We can call on our spirit guides,
The spirits that have been with us through our entire life,
That have only been waiting for us to ask for help.
They always stand by us just waiting.
May we take a moment to acknowledge any struggles we may be having in our life.
We can ask these spirit guides for guidance.
May I receive your guidance in this path.
May I welcome the guidance and trust that I'm always guided.
May I be grateful for this help that I receive.
Perhaps you can even feel energetic spirits,
Energetic essences surrounding you,
Protecting you,
Watching your back,
Holding you in case you fall.
And throughout this day,
This life,
This path,
I encourage you to start to notice and feel into the expanded awareness that we create just by acknowledging.
May we develop this awareness to be able to acknowledge the beings around us seen and unseen.
May we welcome all beings with equal love.
With this strength and with this support,
We'll take a few deep inhales and sighs,
Deep inhale.
And we can sigh,
And we'll take two more.
Inhale,
Feeling the support of the spirits around us,
And exhale gratitude.
Thank you for this support.
One last deep inhale.
In gratitude and service.
And as we sit up tall,
We can bring our hands to heart center and gently bow.
We bow to the spirit inside of us,
The spirits around,
To the energetics that surround us at all times,
Into this vast universe,
To the known and to the unknown.
When we touch one thing with deep awareness,
We touch everything.
Namaste.
Namaste.
Namaste.
Namaste.
Namaste.
