This meditation was created in honor of Dia de los Muertos.
Take a moment now to connect with your loved ones who are on the other side.
Now find a comfortable position,
Either seated or lying down,
And close your eyes.
Take a moment to connect with your breath,
Hearing the air as you inhale and exhale,
Noticing your body slowing,
Relaxing to the rhythm of your breath,
Just breathing normally,
And exhaling,
And exhale.
Now as we connect to our loved ones,
We want to focus our attention and stay present within this meditation.
If you notice that your thoughts are straying,
Just begin to repeat what I am saying in your mind to bring you back.
Now imagine a beautiful golden light is shining down upon your head.
Feel the warmth of this light engulfing every inch of you,
Slowly beginning at the crown of your head.
As this light slowly moves through you,
You are filled with comfort.
You are filled with peace.
Feel the warmth traveling down your face,
Softening your eyes,
Your jaw.
Send that relaxation down your neck and into your shoulders.
Notice how mentally clear you are now.
The brilliant golden light continues to travel down your arms,
Hands,
Down your torso,
Relaxing and warming your back muscles.
Finally,
The light gravitates through your hips,
Feet,
And toes.
Just bask in this godlike light for a moment,
Feeling completely at peace.
Now,
In your mind,
You will see a door in front of you.
Take a moment to take in the beauty of this door.
Maybe touch it with your hand,
Feeling the texture,
Noticing the details,
And appreciate what you are about to experience on the other side.
Know that you are safe,
That you are protected.
Good.
Now go ahead and open the door.
As you open it,
A beautiful light shines through the door.
You recognize that light.
It is the light that you have within you.
Again,
A feeling of peace and comfort washes over you.
Soon,
You will be approached by someone you love who has passed.
You will only be visited by a loved one.
As you see this person,
The light source from your heart connects to theirs and they come to you.
Go ahead and open the door.
Take a moment to connect with them.
Talk to each other,
Heart to heart.
They may have a message for you or they may just want to be present with you.
I will be quiet while you enjoy your time together.
Take a few more moments together before it's time to say goodbye.
Now it's time to say goodbye for now.
Take a few more moments to say goodbye.
Remember that love is boundless,
Love is expansive,
It is unlimited,
Never ending.
Neither time,
Space,
Or alternate dimensions can break that bond.
Even though we cannot physically see or embrace our loved ones who have passed,
We are eternally connected through our love.
Let this love bring you peace every day.
You can connect with this love daily by meditating on it,
Remembering it,
Feeling it.
It is time to come back now.
Slowly take three deep breaths,
Feeling your belly,
Good,
Before opening your eyes,
Really feel gratitude in your heart for the moments you spent with your loved ones,
For the lessons you learned,
For all of your memories,
And for the love you shared.
Slowly open your eyes and with a grateful heart,
Enjoy the rest of your day.
