Namaste my fellow travelers.
Welcome to the world of playfulness.
If this meditation has found you,
It's an invitation from the universe to experience the divinity inside you at play.
I invite you to sit comfortably on your yoga mat or chair and close your eyes.
Bring a gentle smile on your face as your awareness arrives in your being.
Awareness of the energy in you that makes magic happen.
Awareness of the shape your body is in.
Awareness of your face,
Allowing your face to relax,
Jaws unclenched,
The tongue dropping down from the roof of the mouth and the forehead relaxing into rest.
Give your shoulders a releasing shrug and sort of allow your neck to experience some freeing movement.
Feel that space between your fingertips,
The life pulsating inside your fingers.
Tighten your toes for a couple of seconds and feel them relax.
Allow your whole body to relax.
This is a good point in the journey to set a sankalpa,
An intention.
Set an intention for today or for life in general.
We will be recalling this intention at a later point.
Think of this intention from a space of a relaxed awareness.
This meditation can only be fully experienced if you drop your walls,
If you temporarily suspend all judgment as anything good or bad.
Have that radiant smile on your lips and get into a state of mind of acceptance of an open being.
Let's take a deep breath in and let it sort of fill your chest and let that go with a relaxing exhale.
Expand your heart with the next deep loving inhale and let it go with a relaxing exhale.
Allow the universe to sort of kiss your heart center as you take the next loving inhale,
Make your chest full with love and let it go.
Open your heart to this meditation.
Open your awareness to this meditation.
Open,
Open.
The ancient yogis of India call the world a leela.
The rough translation of the Sanskrit word is play or playfulness.
It is also a way of describing all reality we experience as an outcome of the creative play of source,
God or infinite intelligence.
What a beautiful way to describe the world.
A play of source energy.
Let's make this meditation a leela,
A play.
Smile as you take another nourishing breath in and feel it arrive in you.
Let's follow it up with an exhale of letting go.
I'll leave you here for about a minute to play with your breath happily.
Choose radical happiness for the next minute.
This leela is not all sunshine and good harvest.
Dark clouds of trauma,
Pain,
Suffering,
Tragedy and injustice often hover over a being.
All the wise and enlightened beings often went through the worst of sufferings.
Yet,
They had a secret key to be in the dance of leela in spite of all the darkness in their lives.
One does not need to be old to be wise.
Wisdom is not dependent on age.
Wisdom,
My sacred beings,
Is dependent on love.
How much love can you discover within yourself?
With a gentle smile,
As you take the next breath in,
Just whisper the word love.
In the next inhale,
Love.
The next one,
Love.
Let's say I love you to the universe.
As you breathe,
Keep repeating a heartfelt I love you to the universe.
You are a co-creator.
The universe is your partner in this journey of deliberate creation.
The most powerful force in the cosmos is with you as a partner,
As a co-creator of your life.
I love you universe.
I love you.
As the universe and you are constantly working to co-create your intention,
Say I love you to your intention.
You could repeat a love-filled I love my intention of and say your intention.
Say I love you to yourself.
On this earth plane,
In this now moment,
The most important relationship you have is with yourself.
Say your best I love you to yourself.
For everything.
For surviving this far.
For constantly seeking.
For getting up every time you fall down.
For sticking it out for life.
For being a part of the universe.
For showing up every day.
You deserve your own love first.
So say I love you to yourself.
When I conduct this meditation,
I've noticed some participants sway their body in a sort of self-hypnotized ecstasy.
Listen and allow your body to move if it wants to,
Into a wave of love for yourself.
Now,
Send love to a random person.
Could be the waitress at the coffee shop or the cab driver who drove you last.
Select a random person and send them love and healing.
You have the ability to love without expecting anything in return.
Life is a Leela.
With each second that passes,
We come closer to our inevitable death.
Let's make every moment worthwhile,
Unconditionally.
Whatever the external circumstances,
Let's play.
Let's play this Leela.
Let's play.
Now,
Very gently,
Tenderly and with a big smile,
Open your eyes.
Remember to allow this playfulness to overflow into your life as you go through the motions of everyday living.
I'll see you soon.
Namaste,
You beautiful being.
I love you.
