Welcome,
Let's sit together for a few minutes and turn our attention toward helpful and loving imaginings.
Let's bless people in our lives,
The world around us,
And ourselves with prayers that make direct contact with what's possible.
As we do so,
We'll further cultivate the capacity to imagine beyond the confines of anticipations and expectations that grow like weeds out of past stress and trauma.
Let's begin.
Adjust your chosen position for this meditation so that you're even more comfortable.
Slow down,
Inside and out,
And bring an enjoyable human being to mind.
Someone you like or are inspired by.
Someone you respect or admire.
Imagine them nourished and well,
Abundant,
Creative,
Joyful,
Loving fully,
And being loved so deeply.
Seeing where they are,
What they're doing,
And what they look like as they enjoy their blessed experience.
Hearing their way of expressing themselves and the way others are lovingly expressing to them.
Feeling their relaxed,
Healthy aliveness.
If you're not accessing certain internal senses right now,
Simply know them as happy and satisfied,
At ease in their sense of belonging,
And graced by life.
Now repeat this same living blessing for someone you don't know well,
Someone that you feel neutral about.
Maybe it's the cashier at a store you shop at,
Or the driver of a taxi you rode in.
Maybe it's someone in the news,
Or a person you came across online.
Imagine them healthy,
Happy,
And free.
Free being themselves,
Free experiencing and expressing their loves and joys and creativity.
See them,
Hear them,
Feel them,
Know them,
Experiencing this grace right now.
Next,
Bring a challenging person,
Someone previously stressful for you,
Into your playful and creative imagination,
And see what it's like to offer them the same degree of compassionate goodness.
See,
Hear,
Feel,
And know them deeply alive and radiantly well.
Imagine them loving others and being loved without reserve.
Witness them living a fantastic life as their existence graces the lives of others.
Now it's your turn.
Imagine yourself from a third-person perspective,
Happy inside,
Free of expression,
From fear,
Or any other type of suffering.
Already the case,
Much as is currently possible,
And it's blessing you in this way.
Finally,
Turn your attention to the living world around you,
And evoke your creative agency as you dream this world lush,
Healthy and clear,
Balanced and cared for in all ways.
The lands,
The elements,
The living beings in all the kingdoms,
Seen and unseen,
See it all,
Hear them all,
Feel it,
Smell it,
Taste it,
Know it,
In its most blessed harmony.
Imagine yourself and all the other beings you previously brought to mind as part of this natural,
Majestic harmony,
Interdependent and thriving together.
What a blessing.
Rest in it for a couple minutes.
Notice any shifts,
Even the subtle ones,
In your body,
Your mind,
Anything that was evoked from activating your creative agency in your prayers.
Enjoy.
