Focus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome. This meditation supports the Stage One task of connecting to your time, attention and spaces. The hardest part of this task is truly internalizing that what YOU want is important, your purpose should be a priority, and you respect that. So that is where we will focus here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a moment to get comfortable.\u00a0You can sit or stand or lay down. It\u2019s doesn\u2019t matter. You can close your eyes or keep them open. Do what works for you.

Presence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.\u00a0Be at peace. You are here now. Pause and repeat these breaths until you feel relaxed and at peace.\u00a0

Journey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We begin in the heart. Focus on your heartbeat. How does it feel? The physical sensation there? You are alive. You are here now. Are there emotions moving there? They grow as you focus on them. Within that movement is there love?\u00a0

This is you. You are here in this life to find your gift, and to give of your gift to the world.\u00a0Focus on the heart. Ask the heart. Is this true? You may feel joy welling up in your heart, or a little wave of joy that confirms: YES.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are here, now, for this purpose. Nothing could be more important. Return focus to the heart, the heartbeat, and the emotions moving there. For in the heart is also love for others. We give of our time and energy to them. We may empty ourselves to fill them. How does that make your heart feel? The heart sinks down a bit at that idea.\u00a0

Focus on the heart. The heartbeat. The emotions moving. Joy. It is so vitally important that you find your gift. It is so vitally important that you share it. Imagine taking time to find your gift. How does your heart feel?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine taking time to share your gift? How does your heart feel? Full. Focus on that feeling as it grows.\u00a0

NOW you have something to give. Fill your heart. Then give to others. Fill your heart. Then give to others. Your journey is of highest importance. Your gift is needed here. Can you find one hour a day for this? Ask your heart. Yes. Can you hold it sacred, as you are held sacred? You are sacred. Your gift is sacred. Ask your heart. Is this true? Yes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus on the heart. For your truth is not found outside of yourself. Your truth is not found in others, their opinions or demands. Your truth is found in the heart. Listen to the beat. Urging you forward in your journey. Calling you inward to the truth.\u00a0

Imagine taking the time to find your gift and holding it sacred. Imagine others respecting your time, because YOU do. Imagine finding your gift and nurturing it. How does your heart feel? Full. Joy. Love. Purpose. You are here, now.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Return<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
