Speaker:
00:00:00
Welcome my friends.
2
:
00:00:01
This is a guided meditation.
3
:
00:00:04
Shine your light.
4
:
00:00:06
Please get comfortable
and begin breathing.
5
:
00:00:09
Slowing down your mind and your heart.
6
:
00:00:13
This meditation is going
to be a little different.
7
:
00:00:16
We're going to call upon
your powers to imagine.
8
:
00:00:20
That'd be a lot of imagery and it will
be more in a story narrative form.
9
:
00:00:26
But like all meditations let's
begin as you would in prayer In the
10
:
00:00:31
name of Jesus Christ and inviting.
11
:
00:00:34
As light to be with you.
12
:
00:00:39
No, I've seen your prep.
13
:
00:00:43
Moving in to the heart.
14
:
00:00:45
That light.
15
:
00:00:48
And exhaling and chasing out the darkness.
16
:
00:00:54
Breathing in slowing down.
17
:
00:00:57
The mind.
18
:
00:01:01
And excelling out.
19
:
00:01:02
JC now the darkness and those
things that may trouble your mind.
20
:
00:01:09
This meditation comes from the scripture.
21
:
00:01:12
And the spirit give us light to every
man that come at the end of the world.
22
:
00:01:17
So in the beginning.
23
:
00:01:19
Of this journey.
24
:
00:01:21
You are given.
25
:
00:01:23
Uh, light.
26
:
00:01:25
A small spark.
27
:
00:01:27
I can Amber.
28
:
00:01:30
if you would just imagine.
29
:
00:01:32
You've walked out that.
30
:
00:01:36
DOR.
31
:
00:01:37
Cross that threshold.
32
:
00:01:39
Down that path at the back gate.
33
:
00:01:44
Leaving behind your heavenly home.
34
:
00:01:47
Into this journey of mortal life.
35
:
00:01:52
You look at this spark, this light,
this little Amber within your hands.
36
:
00:01:59
You realize you'd never seen
such a thing and wondered what.
37
:
00:02:03
You are to do with it.
38
:
00:02:05
It glows warm.
39
:
00:02:08
And it seems to be filled
with such promises.
40
:
00:02:13
And you believe that is meant
to be yours for some purpose.
41
:
00:02:17
That you don't understand yet.
42
:
00:02:22
You also realize that
this spark is so fragile.
43
:
00:02:26
And that it will need to
be tended and cared for.
44
:
00:02:30
So you choose to keep it.
45
:
00:02:32
And to take good care of it.
46
:
00:02:34
Something deep inside your heart stirs.
47
:
00:02:38
And desires this warmth and this light.
48
:
00:02:42
To guide you.
49
:
00:02:48
Oh, if you would just in this
moment, just imagine a path.
50
:
00:02:53
This is all new territory for you.
51
:
00:02:57
And the path sometimes.
52
:
00:02:59
It's hard to find.
53
:
00:03:01
Maybe at wanders in through deep
forest and becomes dark and cold.
54
:
00:03:07
Other times it's open and spacious.
55
:
00:03:11
Lots of options to choose.
56
:
00:03:15
You do notice the beauties along the way.
57
:
00:03:18
Maybe the colors.
58
:
00:03:21
Sky.
59
:
00:03:23
The earth.
60
:
00:03:25
The birds.
61
:
00:03:26
Sounds.
62
:
00:03:31
All inviting.
63
:
00:03:34
All apart of this.
64
:
00:03:37
Wonderful journey.
65
:
00:03:39
You are on.
66
:
00:03:39
So we have placed this light into a
lantern to carry with you on your journey.
67
:
00:03:45
PKG knew the road ahead could be
cold and dark and scary at times.
68
:
00:03:51
And you have fed that spark
daily by gathering kindling.
69
:
00:03:55
You find along the path.
70
:
00:03:59
You've recognized that this spark is
demanding of your time and attention.
71
:
00:04:04
And to keep this flame.
72
:
00:04:07
Alive.
73
:
00:04:09
Burning bright.
74
:
00:04:10
It's hard work.
75
:
00:04:12
Sometimes you've wanted to give up.
76
:
00:04:15
Aware of the demons lurking.
77
:
00:04:17
That despise that light.
78
:
00:04:19
Any light.
79
:
00:04:21
The seat today, extinguish all sparks.
80
:
00:04:27
But you, my friend.
81
:
00:04:30
That light that is within you.
82
:
00:04:33
It's strong.
83
:
00:04:35
Strong enough to fight
them off and protect.
84
:
00:04:39
That light.
85
:
00:04:43
Notice.
86
:
00:04:44
That your words and your songs.
87
:
00:04:48
When you say to encourage.
88
:
00:04:53
Used to bring hope.
89
:
00:04:55
To the spark when it
was scared and fearful.
90
:
00:04:58
Increased.
91
:
00:05:00
The flames.
92
:
00:05:02
Brilliance and light.
93
:
00:05:05
And you notice.
94
:
00:05:06
It begins.
95
:
00:05:07
To grow stronger.
96
:
00:05:10
You sheltered it from the storms and the
dangers that threatened to put it out.
97
:
00:05:16
And you've actually
discovered that those wins.
98
:
00:05:19
Strengthened.
99
:
00:05:22
And make the.
100
:
00:05:23
Amber Crow, even brighter.
101
:
00:05:26
And now it's growing in
its brightness light.
102
:
00:05:30
Gathering more light.
103
:
00:05:34
And more light.
104
:
00:05:36
Soon your light has outgrown the lantern.
105
:
00:05:38
So you place it on a torch.
106
:
00:05:41
Or the flames dance and
reach out, lighting your way.
107
:
00:05:45
The path that once seemed
cold and dark and scary.
108
:
00:05:49
It's now become clear and bright.
109
:
00:05:52
And familiar to you.
110
:
00:05:56
Others have also enjoyed the brilliance
of your light from your torch.
111
:
00:06:01
which will pop and small sparks.
112
:
00:06:06
Our left-hand scattered for
others to gather and keep.
113
:
00:06:11
Some who have lost their spark.
114
:
00:06:13
Treasure this new spark
and pick it up eagerly.
115
:
00:06:16
While others quickly stomp it out.
116
:
00:06:19
Afraid.
117
:
00:06:20
Of what it might be.
118
:
00:06:23
You.
119
:
00:06:24
Breathe in light.
120
:
00:06:27
Courage.
121
:
00:06:28
To continue on.
122
:
00:06:31
And it's there that you realize you
are traveling with other light bearers.
123
:
00:06:39
Where you encourage and
cheer each other on.
124
:
00:06:44
Linking arms.
125
:
00:06:46
Walking forward with faith.
126
:
00:06:50
Lifting.
127
:
00:06:51
The downtrodden.
128
:
00:06:54
And the broken along the way.
129
:
00:06:57
And now.
130
:
00:06:59
Your little spark has
grown into a roaring fire.

:
00:07:04
That's warm, inspired and illuminated.

Feeling the joy.

00:07:16
That this light brings.
135
:
00:07:21
And there.
136
:
00:07:23
You see the summit?
137
:
00:07:26
You're almost there.
138
:
00:07:28
Feel the joy and the
warmth within your heart.
