Hello and welcome to the daily insight here on Insight Timer. My name is Sarah Blondin and I'm a teacher here. Today's meditation focuses on accessing the divine elements of sacred life within you. It can be useful when you're feeling disconnected from yourself and help in generating gratitude for your being and your life. I wish you a restorative practice. I'm gonna start out with another poem from Hafiz. You don't have to act crazy anymore. We all know you're good at that. Now retire my dear from all that hard work you do of bringing pain to your sweet eyes and heart. Look in a clear mountain mirror. See the beautiful ancient warrior and the divine elements you always carry inside that infuse this universe with sacred life so long ago and join you eternally with all existence. I often forget I am a human being infused with sacred life. I often forget to look upon myself as a thing of beauty. To take time away from my doing and becoming. To simply sit and look in a clear mountain mirror at the divine elements I always carry inside. I am learning though just as you are to return. To stop reaching away. To stop grabbing and rushing to some future me and moment. I am learning just as you are to lean into the beauty of my being. In conscious ways I am awakening myself to the magnificence and simplicity of who I am, Who we all are. I'd like you to close your eyes now and just get comfortable. Strong straight spine but keeping soft around your heart. And just rest as you are. Finding relief at not having to do anything in this moment. Setting down beside you your individual worlds and worries. You need nothing other than this body that carries you. Come to meet your breath. Come to me your heartbeat. Come to meet your natural rhythm of harmony. I'd like you to take both hands now and place them gently over your eyes. We are going to give thanks to the sacred element of sight. I thank you for this gift of seeing. For the gift of seeing a smile spread across the face of someone I love. For the gift of seeing a seed in the palm of my hand. Of being able to watch shadow and light dancing across floors. Breathe here for a moment in gratitude. Now placing your hands gently over your ears. We are going to give thanks for the sacred element of hearing. I thank you for this gift of sound. For this gift of hearing. Hearing laughter. Bird song. Rattling wind. Breath and fire. Breathe here for a moment in gratitude. Placing your hands now gently over your throat. We are going to give thanks for the sacred element of speaking. I thank you for this gift of speech. For the gift of words. For the gift of being able to express love through sound. Through song. Through the gift of harmonizing with all the sounds of life's great song. Breathe here a moment in gratitude. Placing now your hands gently on top of your heart. We are going to give thanks now for the sacred element of our feelings. I thank you for this gift of feeling. For the gift of tenderness. Of heartache. Of palpable joy. I thank you for all that squeezes and pushes against this loving heart of mine. Breathe here for a moment in gratitude. Can you see dear one that you are infused with sacred life? This life is for you. A flock of white crowned sparrows lands on a tree overhead. Shaking seed and snow from the sleeping branches of the cedar tree. Erupting a shower of sparkling light and a chorus of birdsong. This is for you. Are you awake to the gifts of other life singing alongside of you? Your small child runs in the room talking in circles of how one day they will grow to reach as high as the sky. Their eyes so wide they open a horizon of possibility inside them. This is for you. Are you awake to the joy and sound of a life still infused in wonder and in awe? The sun lowers in the sky reaching out into the walls of your room. Painting streaks of gold across each surface. A moving piece of art dances out before you. This is for you. Are you awake to the life and light being offered to you? Your partner comes home and wraps arms and heart around the swirling orbit that is you. This is for you. Are you awake to the warmth and love opening around your shoulders just for you? The evening comes and with the dark a small loneliness opens inside of you. This too is for you dear one. Are you awake to the company of your own being? Do you offer yourself love when you need it most? This life is for you. This life is for you dear one. May I ask you are you listening? May I ask you are you feeling the gifts of the divine elements you carry inside you always? Coming to deepen your breath. Coming to feel your body resting on the earth. Coming to wake in movement and stretching. And coming to open your eyes whenever you're ready. Seeing all your life with new eyes now. Grateful for all the sacred elements of your being. I thank you for taking the time to do this practice with me. I am so grateful to journey alongside you. Sending blessings.
