Speaker:
00:00:01
good morning, creative
Spiritual Journey podcast.
2
:
00:00:04
Friends.
3
:
00:00:05
The reason I'm saying good morning
is because this meditation, a
4
:
00:00:10
perfect brightness of hope, is to
be done in the morning so that we
5
:
00:00:14
can begin our day looking for the
bright side of life, visualizing
6
:
00:00:19
our best self moving forward today.
7
:
00:00:21
' cause we're gonna bump up against
the darkness and the messy, and the
8
:
00:00:26
troubling, and we want to be prepared.
9
:
00:00:29
Full of light
10
:
00:00:30
acting our best selves, asking ourselves
what is good in our each situation.
11
:
00:00:38
And if we can't see the
good, how can I make it good?
12
:
00:00:42
And if that's still a problem.
13
:
00:00:45
Because it's out of our control.
14
:
00:00:47
How can I be the good in my response?
15
:
00:00:51
So this meditation comes from a
beautiful scripture found in the doctrine
16
:
00:00:55
covenants 50 23 to 24, that which does
not edify is not of God and is darkness.
17
:
00:01:06
That which is of God is light and
he that receives light and continues
18
:
00:01:12
in God receives more light, and
that light grows brighter and
19
:
00:01:19
brighter until the perfect day.
20
:
00:01:24
I say it that you may know the truth, that
you may chase darkness from among you.
21
:
00:01:34
So just like all meditations, if
you would get nice and comfortable.
22
:
00:01:39
Not too comfortable.
23
:
00:01:40
'cause we wanna stay awake.
24
:
00:01:41
We have a new day, new opportunity
stretched out before us.
25
:
00:01:46
So Take a nice deep breath in through
the nose, down into the belly.
26
:
00:01:50
We do this so we can calm the
mind, the heart, the body.
27
:
00:01:58
And we exhale through the nose as well.
28
:
00:02:05
Breathing in, visualizing the light.
29
:
00:02:11
Exhale, chasing the darkness away.
30
:
00:02:20
This time, As you breathe in, I'm
inviting you to put a smile on your face.
31
:
00:02:26
Let's see if we can hold that smile
throughout the whole meditation.
32
:
00:02:31
There's something about body language
that will help flip that switch in
33
:
00:02:37
your mind to be able to see the light.
34
:
00:02:40
The bright side today.
35
:
00:02:42
we are gonna approach this meditation
with an open heart, an open mind.
36
:
00:02:48
We're gonna be the open vessel to receive
light breathing in a brightness of hope.
37
:
00:03:00
I want you to imagine
your face seeing the sun.
38
:
00:03:05
You know how that feels to look
up into the sky on a beautiful
39
:
00:03:11
sunrise and feel the warmth.
40
:
00:03:16
It just soaks into your very soul.
41
:
00:03:22
Good morning.
42
:
00:03:24
Breathing in that warm
healing light of the savior
43
:
00:03:33
exhaling and letting go of the darkness,
those things that trouble your heart and
44
:
00:03:40
mind, that weigh heavy on your shoulders.
45
:
00:03:46
Today I choose to receive light,
46
:
00:03:56
that witches of God is light.
47
:
00:04:02
Breathing it in to the
heart, crossed your face.
48
:
00:04:10
What would it feel like to just
soak in this light into every inch
49
:
00:04:14
of your body down into the very
cells, down into the center of your
50
:
00:04:21
soul, illuminating bright light.
51
:
00:04:31
Exhale, chase out the darkness.
52
:
00:04:36
It's as if the back door of our heart
opens up and we can just let it sweep out.
53
:
00:04:46
A fresh new day welcomes in.
54
:
00:05:00
And in this space of
light, of peace and calm,
55
:
00:05:09
with a smile on our face, and that
warmth and our heart and throughout our
56
:
00:05:16
