Heart Meditation
Let’s all hold hands. Let’s gently close our eyes and inhale together, slowing the breath. Bring your attention to how your body feels right now, with full acceptance of whatever is present.
Notice where your body is touching the ground and bring your focus there. Begin to feel the pulsing energy of the Earth beneath you: The heartbeat of Mother Earth.
With an inhale, breathe in gratitude and love for all She gives us. Continue taking deep breaths, feeling your heartbeat: your unique, beautiful rhythm.
Breathe deeply from your heart as you open to the sensation of love within you. Feel the pulsing energy of this love. Envision this love as a light glowing inside your heart. Breathing deeply, see and feel this light getting brighter until it fills up your whole body and surrounds you, in a globe of light around your body.
With your next exhale, think of someone you know who is in a challenging moment in their life.
Imagine that this person is right in front of you. While remaining connected with the love in your heart, allow yourself to feel compassion for this person’s struggle as you breathe, honouring their journey.
Feel the light in their heart as the same loving light that is within yours.
As you offer your love and compassion to this person, feel the light in both of your hearts growing brighter —together.
Now with an inhale, focus your attention back to your heart space. Feel the light grow brighter as you allow the love from your heart to nourish any parts of you that have been in pain.
Open to feeling compassion for yourself as you breathe the light of your love into the places where you have kept fear, grief, anger, stress, or insecurity.
Open to feeling nourished by the love within.
Offer yourself acknowledgement and respect for everything you are, how far you have come, and for the incredible beauty and power within you.
Take a deep breath and start to feel the woman to your right.
This woman has her own struggles, pain, fear, and insecurities. Take a moment to feel compassion and great respect for this powerful woman beside you. While breathing into your heart, feel the power of the love in her heart. See and feel the light within her heart as it grows brighter, surrounding her. Feel the light within your heart and the light within her heart growing brighter—together.
Bring your attention back to your heart and take a deep breath. Now, begin to feel the woman to your left. This woman has her own struggles, pain, fear, and insecurities. Take a moment to feel compassion and great respect for this powerful woman beside you. While breathing into your own heart, feel the power of the love in her heart. See and feel the light within her as it grows brighter; surrounding her. Feel the light within your heart and the light within her heart growing brighter—together.
Focus your attention back on your own heart and take a deep breath. Feel the love and light of every woman in this circle being amplified, growing brighter... filling up the whole room.

●Envision a world where every woman feels free. Free to love, free to express herself, free to create what she desires, and is safe in her body.
●Feel in your body the spaciousness and openness of freedom. Taking a few deep breaths, imagine every man, woman, and child living with this same sensation.
●Now envision all boys of our world being raised to honor women and to respect the feminine principle in themselves. Honoring their feelings, honoring their softness, honoring their connectedness to all life.
●Imagine our world valuing and respecting the qualities of intuition, empathy, receptivity, collaboration, diversity, and upholding and supporting human dignity.
●Envision our world’s governments and businesses honoring the voices of women, honoring the feelings and wellbeing of their employees and citizens, and honoring mother earth.
Bring this intention for global healing into your heart, surrounding it with light and love. With a deep breath imagine sending it into the earth below—like a seed being planted—feel it beginning to root, then in its own time, blossoming into the world. Bring your hands to your heart and feel your heartbeat. Take a deep breath and gently open your eyes.
