Welcome. This meditation supports the Stage Eight task of seeing the truth in others. That means seeing their intentions, their current situation, their feelings, what stage they are in, and potentially much more. No, you are not reading minds here. Humans project their intentions and state of mind openly. We cannot help sending out a signal to everyone around us, detailing our truth. You are just learning to tune in to that, connect to that channel and send something positive and helpful back. This is particularly helpful because many people hide their pain and their challenges, suffering in silence. If you can recognize that, you can offer to help, encourage them to talk, or simply send them caring and compassion.
Posture
Take a moment to get comfortable. You can sit or stand or lay down. It’s doesn’t matter. You can close your eyes or keep them open. Do what works for you.
Presence
Take a slow deep breath. Let it out like a sigh of relief. Be at peace. You are here now. Take another slow deep breath, and this time, send it out slowly, consciously, with purpose, all the way. Be at peace. You are here now. Pause and repeat these breaths until you feel relaxed and at peace.
Journey
Let’s begin. Choose a friend or family member. Someone you love or like very much.
Consciously connect with them. Reach out your energy towards them with the intent to connect. No expectations… just wanting to connect.
When you do, ask to be shown their truth. You are putting yourself in their shoes energetically.
You will be able to feel their current emotions, and and state of mind.
Can you see their truth now? Can you see their heart (that is, their intentions)?
Can you see their humanity? Can you see what stage they are in at the moment?
What do they need right now? Take a moment to see their full truth.
Thank them for this connection and gently pull your energy and intentions back towards yourself. Now choose someone else. This time, choose someone that you don’t particularly like or someone that you have not really connected with in the past.
Reach out to them with your energy, and with an intention to connect. No expectations. Become them. Be, energetically, in their place.
Can you see their truth now? Can you see their intentions?
Can you see their humanity? Can you see what stage they are in at the moment?
What do they need right now? Take a moment to see their full truth.
Thank them for this connection and gently pull your energy and intentions back towards yourself.
Imagine your energies moving now down and into the earth with every exhale. We need to ground ourselves here before we finish. Imagine all that was these other people, is flowing down into the earth. The earth absorbs it all and will transform it, returning it to them.
Now pull energy up from the earth into yourself. Imagine it flowing up your legs with every inhale. It feels solid… green and brown… safe and protected.
Return
When you are ready, bring your awareness back to your surroundings. Notice how you feel.
Try the same technique as you pass strangers on the street. You do not need to stare at them, just a glance and intent to reach out and connect with your energy is enough. If they catch your eye, smile and send them peace, joy or whatever you feel they need… all as you pass by.
Just because you can see people’s truth and intentions now does not mean that everyone you meet will be kind. There will always be people in earlier stages who cannot see your humanity yet and may do you harm. But if you can see the truth of their intentions and their hearts, you can protect yourself. By connecting with others in this way, you can better understand them, better protect yourself, and better help those in need, all at the same time.
