Welcome to your sacred studio session, a daily practice designed to help enhance your connection to the divine through mindful awareness. This session is a balancing exercise that helps you hold the tension between opposite realities, and thereby grow, and resilience. We've all heard or used terms like that just tore me up for that really broke me down, which in reality is not far from the truth of what psychologically happens to us when we are traumatized. Bishop Vashti McKenzie once said, “Trouble doesn't last always, but trauma has a way of lingering in leveraging a lasting impact that alters everything we think, feel”.
And when we find balance from our inner turmoil, we allow space for the weight of the trauma to be leveraged toward our betterment and benefit instead of against us. Now, just as a person going into a gym for the first time, doesn't try to pick up the heaviest weight in the room. You want to be gentle with your own soul by handling, light annoyances and daily grievances before trying to venture into the heavy weighted traumatized events of your past. But as you grow, you will know when it's time to balance out the heavier distortions and blockages. So this meditation uses a lot of visualization, and imagination. Be prepared to be taken emotionally to places that inwardly are ready to heal, grow and recover. Trust the process and lean into the reality of compassion. That love really is stronger than hate. And whatever light shines upon, can come back to life again. So begin by closing your eyes. And taking a deep breath in your mind, seeing yourself walking into one of your most favorite personal locations on earth that you've ever visited. Imagine the surroundings as perfect and safe and as tranquil as it's ever been. And as you breathe in the atmosphere, feel your heart, opening up to the moment. And exhale, a sense of timely arrival and perfect synchronicity. And appearing right before you in this beautiful place is an image of yourself. Within You are both love and you hold within your very body experiential imprints of moments when you were nurtured, and moments when you were neglected. These opposites are part of the human experience. And in order to integrate such opposites, you must practice the ability to both tolerate and balance them allow your mind to review the last 24 hours searching for those things that stand out as moments that distracted you. And moments that attract events that repelled you, and events that drew you in. It can be the memory of an emotion, or a matter of fact moment that stands out from all other moments of the day. Once you've identified both opposite impressionable experiences from your day, allow them to remain in your consciousness for a moment. Visualize each experience transforming into a ball of light in each hand. In one hand, is your favorite color. This ball of light represents the attractive moment that drew you in. Use all of your sensory modalities to enhance the vision of revisiting this impressionable moment. Feel the shape of this ball of light. Notice its color and its intensity.
Notice its texture? So what does it smell like? What is its temperature? Does it pulsate vibrate? Or is it still allow the energy and experience of being drawn into this moment to fully express.
Okay? Now having done that, shift over to the opposite hair, this ball of light is the very opposite color of your favorite color. This ball of light represents the distracting moment that repelled you in the same way that those feelings play out in the course. Using your senses, feel the moment all over again, as if in real time. What made you feel angry, shame or guilt. Don't attempt to change. Just be a compassionate observer. allow these feelings in ideations to become even stronger into you feel that they have honestly and authentically represent represented themselves. Hold that ball of light and sit with those emotions without any attempt being made to change them. Now imagine feeling warm, compassionate, presence, stepped into the location with you. It's Jesus. You realize that you are not alone. Hardly. You invite Jesus to join you in the space between the opposites. With further Heartland, you give Jesus full permission to couple your hands within his. As you hold these two opposite energies, a greater, more intense in golfing light begins to illuminate from Jesus's chest. Bringing the light that you hold into a more full prison to the point that you find yourself able to live in the light of love. and integrate both of these opposing lights as part of your story. Ask Jesus to help you know yourself. Know your story. and accept yourself in these difficult opposites in a way that fits into the greater prism of light that he used to bring both opposites together. Jesus smiles right at you and gives you a hug that is so real. So that you get lost in it until you find yourself being yourself. You smile back. And just as Jesus said, I'll never leave you nor forsake you. You accept His love and His life and begin to depart from your sacred meeting place
