Introduction

Welcome.  I’m Kevin Schoeninger. Thank you for being with us for another year of spiritual learning, growing and sharing here at SGM.

As I’ve done for the past few years, I’d like to close out our year with a meditation for the season called “Welcoming the Light.” Each year I update the phrasing and background music and I look forward to hearing about your experience with this year’s edition.

In this meditation, we journey to the Core of our being where we are Energy, Love, and Light. When we experience the Love, Light, and Universal Connection available on an energetic level, we are naturally filled with a sense of deep inner peace and inspiration. Experiencing ourselves as part of this One Life that we all share is the Supreme Mode of Being. As more and more of us connect to this level of Being and practice bringing it into our lives, we elevate all life on the planet to a higher vibration. Feel free to share this with those you love!

You can follow along with the guided audio in Part B of the recording above.

Enjoy!

Guided Meditation Script:
“Welcoming the Light”

If you will, please join me in sitting comfortably upright, with the soles of your feet flat on the floor and parallel to each other. Rest your hands, palms up in your lap, one cupped one in the other, with thumbs touching. Lightly close your eyes.

Focus your attention down into your feet and notice the sensations there. Notice any tension in the soles of your feet and your toes. Allow your feet and toes to soften and relax, as if they are melting down into the ground.

Focus into the sensations in your hands and fingers and notice any tension there. Allow your hands and fingers to soften and relax, as if they are melting down into your legs.

As your hands and fingers relax, allow your arms and shoulders to relax down, releasing any tension in your neck, shoulders, and arms.

Imagine a string attached to the top of your head drawing your spine gently upright, giving you a feeling of vertical spaciousness up through the center of your body, up through your spine, and through the top of your head. Tuck your chin just slightly, gently lengthening the back of your neck.

Notice how you feel when you sit nicely upright. You may feel more purposeful, awake, and alive.

Now, focus down into your abdomen and become aware of your breathing there. As you inhale, imagine and feel as if your whole body is filling up with your breath. As you exhale, imagine and feel as if your whole body is emptying out. Enjoy the easy rhythm of your whole body breathing.

Now, let go of your breathing and feel your body as a whole from the inside. Feel the entire space inside your skin. Allow your inner body to be open, clear, and spacious. Enjoy the feeling of open, clear spaciousness.

Now, imagine a radiant beam of Unconditional Love and the Purest White Light shining down upon you from the Highest Heaven. Imagine and feel this Loving Light shining down through the top of your head, down through the core of your body, and into your heart. Smile with appreciation and gratitude as you feel your heart filling with the Pure Energy of Love and Light. Imagine and feel the Energy of Love and Light expanding from your heart outward, into every cell. Enjoy the feeling of Love and Light nurturing every cell.

You are a being of Energy, Love, and Light. You are a luminous being, a pulsing node in the Universal Network of Life. As you hold that vision, feel your whole body light up on the inside. Imagine yourself as a radiant point in the Universal Field of Energy, Love, and Light. You are part of One Life that we all share.

You are connected to the seat you are sitting on, which is also made of Energy, Love, and Light. You are part of the space around you, which is filled with Energy, Love, and Light. Imagine and the space around you lighting up as you feel your loving presence within it.

Imagine and feel the space around you expanding to include the neighborhood where you are at this moment. . .Every space that your attention expands into lights up with Love and Light, including, now, the town, city, or countryside around your neighborhood. . .the state or province around that. . .and the country around that. . .Imagine Love and Light expanding outward in all directions to illuminate our whole planet. . .and the atmosphere around our planet. . .Imagine the Field of Love and Light expanding to include our whole solar system. . .the entire Milky Way. . .and all the galaxies in the Universe. . .Imagine the Network of Love and Light expanding infinitely in all directions. . .Until you are immersed in an Infinite Field of Energy, Love, and Light. . .

All beings are connected through One Light, One Love, One Life Energy we all share. You are present, awake, and aware in this Infinite Field of Energy, Love, and Light. You realize now that whatever happens with anyone, or anything, anywhere, at any time affects everyone, and everything, everywhere, at all times.

Now, send the Love and Light in your heart outward into this Infinite Field, to all beings, and ask that everyone, everywhere receive exactly what they need right now to grow in Love and Light, to fully express “who they are” and “what they are here to do.” Release this intention into the Universal Field of Love and Light knowing that it is being fulfilled in the best possible ways right now. Unexplainable, even miraculous, assistance is available to each and every one of us every moment. Life always supports what is best for each of us. Grace flows abundantly.

Rest in the nurturing embrace of the One Life we all share. Rest in the nurturing embrace of the One Life we all share.

And now, feel your body as a whole from the inside. Feel your inner space alive with Energy, Love, and Light. Record this luminous presence in every cell of your body, so you can remember and return to it at any time.

Slowly open your eyes and focus on the floor in front of you. Feel this luminous presence inside your body with your eyes open. Bring Love and Light into your life through acts of kindness wherever you go.

Well done!
