This meditation supports the Stage Six task of breaking the trance of unworthiness. In this task, you are challenged to see how worthy you are of your own love, and how you have had the divine light of love in you and for you this whole time. It is critical that we see ourselves as worthy of love, so that we can later see others as worthy of love. The hardest part of this task is see the true self that sits inside you, rather than the self you may have developed for others. This true self helps to ignite the divine light and is very easy to love. This meditation will support acknowledging and loving the true self.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Posture<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>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.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Presence<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>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.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Journey<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>We begin. We all encounter unworthiness at a young age. We take it with us into our adult years. But we were mistaken. We misinterpreted the actions of others to mean that we are not worthy of love. But the actions of others don\u2019t mean anything about you. Take a moment to contemplate that idea.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Your true self is loved by the divine light. Your true self is loved, and loves everyone else.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>But your true self might be hiding. Afraid of the actions of others making you feel unworthy, you might have tried being what you think they wanted you to be. Let\u2019s explore&#8230;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>What do you think others want you to be?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>What do those others actually want you to be?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>What do you pretend to be?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>What are you really like? Right down in the core of your being? The part that never changes?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>That real true you made you smile. You like that version of yourself. The divine likes that version of you too. You were put on this earth to be THAT.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Focus now on your heart. Do you feel it? The divine light of love. Love for you. Love for all. You are worthy simply because you exist&#8230; the real core of who you are, simply existing and walking this path in life&#8230; is loved by the highest love of all. And it was in your heart all this time. Take some time to focus on that feeling now and let it multiply.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>You are the source of the unconditional love that you crave. And you need not be anything but who you were put on this Earth to be.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Become the parent figure that loves you unconditionally. Divine love.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>You are not just worthy of it, you ARE OF IT. Take a moment with this truth.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Return<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>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. Offer yourself this divine love daily, and offer your true self to the world. Humanity is eagerly awaiting your contribution.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A guided meditation for the Stage Six task of breaking the trance of unworthiness, guiding the practitioner to distinguish the true self from the self built for others and to feel the divine love that has always been present in the heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2281,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","footnotes":""},"project_category":[2051,31],"project_tag":[36,1429,654,180,900,280,649,981,947,1452,1857,977,309,1248,655,112,302,186,979,978,284,980,605,332,1361,283],"series":[],"class_list":["post-3369","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_category-guided-meditations","project_category-observations","project_tag-art","project_tag-business","project_tag-complete-connection","project_tag-connection","project_tag-consciousness","project_tag-cycle","project_tag-cycle-of-human-development","project_tag-finding-peace","project_tag-human-development","project_tag-lasting-peace","project_tag-lastingpeace-org","project_tag-life-optimization","project_tag-money","project_tag-poetry","project_tag-purna-asatti","project_tag-relationships","project_tag-religion","project_tag-science","project_tag-seeing-yourself","project_tag-self-mastery","project_tag-self-development","project_tag-self-improvement-2","project_tag-self-understanding","project_tag-society","project_tag-spirituality","project_tag-stages"],"acf":{"recommend_blurb":"For anyone who quietly feels unworthy of love.
