AI GeneratedThe speaker guides participants through two meditative exercises designed to connect with the spirit world. By utilizing breathwork, visualization of golden healing light, and a state of surrender, the session aims to bridge the gap between the physical body and the soul, allowing for spiritual communication and emotional healing.
So everybody, I'd like to do an exercise with you.
There are two, actually, I'd like to share with you.
And one is from the course, one is not.
So what I'd like to do is I just want to bring you to the space.
So we talked earlier about being receptive and surrendering.
And it's, again, done through the breath.
And I'm going to guide you to a space.
And in that space, I'm going to just let you go with your mind
to bring you to a certain space.
And then I'll leave you there.
And I'll guide you to what's going to happen
or what the room or the space looks like.
And then you will let yourself experience
whatever you're going to experience.
Again, have no preconceived notions or ideas.
So it's really a sense of just working with the breath
and just surrendering to whatever happens.
You know, I always say that the spirit world
and your guides are there watching out for you.
And they always show up.
But do we show up?
So it's important that if you want to,
just let yourself surrender and be part of the experience.
You know, and just see what happens.
So again, wherever you are, just close your eyes gently.
And I'm going to bring you to a certain space.
And I'm going to set you there.
And I'm going to play some music.
And this music will bring you into a deeper, deeper sense,
a deeper space to experience whatever
you're going to experience.
So remember that you are a soul having a human experience.
And the only difference between the spirit people
are they're outside the body.
They're discarnate.
We're incarnate.
We're in the body.
But we are not the body.
We are souls.
So if we allow ourselves to just sensitize and to be open,
we will ask the spirit people to come close.
And this exercise was given to me
by a British medium, good friend of mine.
And it worked really, really well for me
when there was no expectations.
So it's a way for them to come close to you
that you don't know who's going to be there.
But in this exercise, I would like for you
to set out a thought, send out a thought,
because thoughts are things, and they see our thoughts.
And that you will invite them to you.
And you don't know who is going to be there,
but you'll follow the guides.
All right.
So just closing your eyes.
And once again, being aware of the space around you,
on your feet on the floor, your legs on the floor,
you're sitting in a chair or lying down,
wherever you may be.
Gently closing your eyes, being aware of the physical body,
your feet, your legs, torso, your back,
your shoulders, your arms, your hands,
your neck, and your head.
And once again, we're going to bring more light
and amplify that heart space.
Again, by using that breath.
Breath, we build up, we blow up the heart space.
And then we really open that up, that loving space.
So as the spirit people come close into the space,
they see our light.
We're a beacon of light to bring them closer to us.
So together now, let's imagine once again,
that lovely golden light coming into the top of the head
and really surrounding every cell, every muscle,
every fiber of our being.
And that means enlightenment.
This golden light is a healing light.
It brings a perfect balance to imbalance.
It brings ease to dis-ease.
So imagine now, once again, as you sit there,
your soul is receiving that beautiful light.
And inhale that golden, beautiful healing light
into the top of the head, into the body, down your feet,
surrounding every cell, every muscle.
You feel enlightened.
And then exhale and let go of all the evil things.
Let it go.
Blow it out.
Let it go.
Be still.
Good.
And again, and inhale.
And exhale.
And let it go.
Be still.
Good.
And inhale.
And exhale.
Be still.
Just let yourself drift away.
That's fine.
And inhale.
And exhale.
Be still.
Feeling yourself lighter and just drifting off
to another level of awareness, perhaps.
And just letting yourself naturally drift.
And inhale.
And exhale.
Still.
Be still.
Again, one more time.
And inhale.
And exhale.
Be still.
And now going to the rhythm, your own natural rhythm of breath.
The inhalation and the exhalation of the ebb and the flow of the ocean.
The natural rhythm of your own breath.
Breathing in.
And breathing out.
Be still.
Letting yourself just be so still.
So soft.
Just being in the awareness of yourself.
Feeling that loving energy.
And your energy, your light, is all around you.
Surrounding that beautiful beacon, that globe of light.
That is you, your soul self.
And as you sit in this space, naturally breathing,
we're going to ask for a spirit person, whoever it may be.
You don't need to know who.
Just send out a thought.
Dear spirit people, spirit friend.
I ask now that someone I knew in this lifetime,
one person I knew in this present lifetime,
I ask you to please come close to me now.
Dear spirit friend, I ask you to stand behind me now.
That I may subtly feel your energy.
Dear spirit friend, you may come so close to me now.
You place your hands upon my shoulders and merge as one.
Dear spirit friend, come so close.
I allow you to step within me, within myself.
As I surrender to you, for you to experience yet again,
the human experience one more time.
The thoughts I have are your thoughts.
The visions I have are your visions.
The words from my mouth are your words.
The feelings I have are your feelings.
We see as one.
We speak as one.
We feel as one.
We are one being.
And let them slowly merge as if they're sitting within you, on you,
and you become them.
You become them and let them express yourself.
And as they play this piece of music,
that connection gets deeper and deeper.
You surrender more and more.
And you allow that being to come so close now
that you become them and they become you.
You stand in the back and let them come forward.
Dear spirit friend,
we thank you and bless you for making yourself known
and sharing the space with us today.
Dear spirit friend, we ask you now to step back behind us yet again.
Placing your hands back on our shoulders
as we come back into the awareness of our being,
of our own physicality.
Dear spirit friend, step back now and welcome us back in
as we become aware of our feet on the floor,
our legs, our backs and shoulders and arms,
neck, our head, our own thoughts,
our own vision, our own voices.
And we benefit and learn from you
from sharing this space with us today.
We thank you and we bless you.
And slowly open up your eyes and be as one.
Okay.
Now while I have you here in this space,
I want you to keep that one experience.
But I want to share one more with you
which I think is really great,
but I just thought of.
So spirit just downloaded this.
So I'm going to bring you now
because you're in this lovely, open space.
Once again, I'm going to ask you to close your eyes.
So close your eyes yet again.
I'm asking you yet again to breathe back again,
bringing this beautiful golden light,
that fresh breath, breath into the body
and exhale the old.
Inhale and exhale.
Let it go, let it go, let it go.
Good.
And inhale and exhale.
Let it go, let it go, let it go.
And every time I exhale,
it's going to be higher and higher and higher.
And inhale and exhale.
Let it go, let it go, let it go.
Higher and higher, let it go, let it go.
Good.
Higher and higher.
Good.
And inhale and exhale.
And exhale.
Good.
Now envision in front of you,
however it appears,
there's a beautiful garden,
a spiritual garden created with her own soul self.
It has been created before you have arrived.
So walk now among this garden
with all different types of flowers and trees,
lilacs and roses and hollyhocks
and all different types,
locusts, sycamores, all beautiful trees.
And it really is a reflection of your own soul self.
It speaks to you.
It is in harmony with your soul self.
Look around your friends
and take in that part of yourself
that you have created perhaps in the sleeping state.
This space, this beautiful real space
of the etheric world.
And there it sounds the building in front of us
is a beautiful,
it looks like a golden stone building
made of mother of pearl.
And there's a huge doorway
and it seems that there's a party.
There's a festival going on
and we are invited by all these beings
who are dressed in white.
They're waving us in,
please, we've been awaiting your arrival.
Come in now and let yourself just glide
through this doorway, this immense doorway.
And this building goes on as far as you can see,
nothing like the physical earth.
And you hear all different mumblings around,
people chatting up,
reunions going on all over the place,
laughter and joy and happiness.
And you walk into a big catering room.
And as you walk into this room,
look around and see the golden curtains,
the beautiful candle lights.
And there appear to be people all around tables.
They appear like cocktail tables,
but it's so funny.
As you look into this room,
you'll see tables of people circling this each table,
but they all have their backs toward you
because you're walking in from the back of the room.
I want you now to go and look at all these tables
of people standing there whose backs are to you.
And your soul is going to go to one of those tables.
And as you go to one of the tables,
as you get there, the people slowly turn around.
I want you to see who is there to greet you
in this spirit hall begin.
And perhaps there may be people
you never thought of would be there.
People perhaps that need to speak to you,
to connect with you once again,
to let you know that you're doing a fine job,
to be kinder to yourself,
that love is all around you.
Never forget, you're never alone.
We are with you.
And listen, one person at a time,
as they share a thought, perhaps a memory,
a word with you now.
And some may feel them, then see them,
doesn't matter what you feel in your heart.
For love comes in all ways,
but always finds its person good.
And know they're always with you,
just a thought away.
And thank them and bless them.
And they reassure you, you never walk alone.
We walk with you.
And as you bow and say goodbye,
you just close your eyes
and take a deep breath back into the body
and inhale and exhale.
And back in the awareness of your body,
your feet on the floor, your legs, your backs,
your stomach, your chest, your shoulders,
and your arms, your neck and your head.
Once again, inhale and slowly exhale.
Slowly becoming aware of the space of the physical.
And we're here for temporary time in the physical.
And one more time, slowly in,
out and slowly open up your eyes.
You might want to stretch,
be aware of the physical world,
space you're in, the feeling of each other.
