Focus
Welcome. This meditation supports the Stage Eleven task of seeking complete connection. This is the ultimate goal. In this task, we are challenged to continue our growth with the goal of remaining as connected to every part of our lives as possible: experiences, needs, money, others, ideologies, self, purpose, energy, consciousness and the immutable oneness of it all. That is a lot to keep track of. This meditation will support seeking complete connection by stepping us through the stages to check for any new or leftover issues that need to be addressed. It is a sort of house cleaning and self care for your soul.
Posture
Take a moment to get comfortable. Sit with your eyes closed for this active, yet internal confirmation.
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
We begin. Ground yourself in your body, centered in the lower dantian. Take a moment to center there by scanning down from the head…. down to the heart… the solar plexus… and the lower dantian. Allow the expansion that happens here…an opening.
Feel love and gratitude for this existence. Feel the body and the energy as one.
-
We are open to all
-
What new experiences did you have? What did you learn? … Give thanks for these experiences and let them go. Thank you. They too are in the past. A new you moves forward.
-
What do you need now? … how will you provide that for yourself? … Thank you.
-
What others are in your attention? What do they need? … Can you help? See yourself doing what you reasonably can. Then let it go. Their path is their own…. Thank you.
-
What new beliefs do you have? …. are these helpful or limiting? Give thanks for the helpful beliefs and let the limiting ones go…. Thank you.
-
We are all here on our own paths, walking separate journeys together. Each unto themselves… Thank you.
-
What popular belief is in your attention right now? Do you think this is right for you? How would you adjust that for your own path?… Take a moment to question this and make changes as needed… Thank you.
-
What is your purpose? Why are you here? … What actions will you take towards your purpose today? … Thank you for this life and this purpose.
-
Feel yourself as consciousness, and as body… Thank you.
-
Feel yourself existing as the One Consciousness, and the body… Thank you.
-
Feel yourself existing as the One Consciousness and the physical manifestation simultaneously… and there is no difference. Matter in energy. Energy in matter. All the same… all you… one… Thank You.
Return
When you are ready, bring your awareness back to your surroundings. Notice how you feel. Take this feeling with you and return to it anytime you like. As you craft a routine that helps to keep you in later stages, include activities that deepen your connections: exercise, mediation or prayer time, time to think, time to connect with your partner, and whatever else works best for you.
Remember that you still have needs, you still have an ideology (based on principles at this point) and you still have a self (all necessary to get through the day) – attend to them, evolve them, but do not ignore them and do not become attached to them.
Remember that life will take you around the circle many times but YOU are in control of how much time you spend in each stage. Recognize when you are cycling through the stages again. Take care of any new or leftover tasks from those earlier stages and bring yourself back to the later stages as efficiently as possible.
So here is to your amazing life and your complete connection.
Purna Asatti.
