Hello everyone. And welcome to a special meditation episode of refractive podcast. Today, we’re going to be doing a guided meditation that has as its main objective to just soak you in the love that exists all around you. One of the most beautiful lessons we can experience is the realization that there is only love. Even when we perceive hate wrath, anger, suffering, pain, abuse, there is nothing but love in the world. And when we’re able to tap into the implications of that, we gain a new freedom and a new way of soaring through life. With a perspective that changes the way we interact with the world, today’s visualization will have us receive from the people that we’re around every day from grocery store clerks, to school librarians, to people, you have a very close, intimate, loving relationship with. We are going to bring those individuals into our meditation, and we are going to receive back the love that we’ve given in this visualization.
You may even find people that appear to you that you wouldn’t expect to be a part of it. But the truth is that we make ripples in life. And the ripples of love that circle around us, go out and spread far and wide. And we may not even realize how many people we touch or the depth of what a simple act of kindness can carry to another person. So with that, I want to encourage you to get comfortable, take a breath and make sure that you’re in a place where you won’t have distractions. And you can just be with yourself for a few moments. If you need to pause and change locations, to sit in your favorite, comfortable spot, do so. If you prefer to lie down, you can do that too. Um, just do whatever feels right.

Notice the shape your body makes as you let go of all that air. Kind of like a balloon with a slow leak, gently notice your body filling, then releasing with air as you breath. See if you can build in just a moment or two in between your in breath, in your out-breath, just hold it for just a moment. No stress, no pressure, just a lovely zero space where the breath stays, where it is, and then let it go with each breath as your torso rises and falls.
Speaker 0 00:04:11 I wonder if there might also be a gentle ball of light inside your torso. And as you breathe in, you can notice that the light gets just a bit brighter. The more oxygen you pull into your lungs. And as you breathe out, you can see the light gently fade back to its original level. Take some breaths now on your own and notice the sensations of your torso. Feel your arms and your legs. Get just a little bit heavier and enjoy the beauty of that ball of light. As it grows brighter and go softer as you continue to breathe.
Speaker 0 00:05:48 If there are any noises that you hear from inside your space, outside your space, just invite into the meditation. Meditating is so much simpler than we believe it to be. It’s just observing. So welcome any noise that comes into your space. It deserves to be here. It belongs o...
