Open Heart Meditation For Our Shared Humanity

Hello,

My friend.

This is your time to settle in to your body,

Heart,

And mind.

Taking a deep breath in.

As you exhale,

Allow yourself to feel grounded right where you are.

Filling up the whole body with every inhale.

Draining with every exhale.

Feel your feet connected to the earth.

And allow yourself to envision roots that grow deep.

Allowing you to feel stable,

Steady,

Supported,

And connected to all things.

Drawing in the energy of the earth on every inhale.

Feel resourced by earth.

Allow those roots to travel in all directions.

Feel connectedness to all living things.

Allow your mind to scan the lives of all beings that have ever walked the earth.

Feel into a spacious awareness of our shared humanity.

What it is to be human.

Open your heart to see that we all share pain and grief.

Fear and shame.

Anxiety and worry.

Confusion,

Avoidance,

And anger.

Also breathe into the spacious awareness of our shared humanity to see that we also share joy and laughter.

Love and dedication.

Excitement and wonder.

Curiosity and learning.

Breathing in,

Feel this body right here,

Right now.

Breathing out,

Feel connected,

Loving presence.

Breathing in,

Fill your own heart with compassion.

Breathing out,

Send that compassion to all tender hearts everywhere.

Breathing in,

Feel resourced by the earth.

Breathing out,

Send compassion to all.

Breathing in,

Know that you are right here,

Right now.

Breathing out,

Feel a connected,

Loving presence.
