Unify Heart Meditation

Let’s all hold hands. Let’s gently close our eyes and inhale together, slowing the breath. Bringing our attention to how our bodies are feeling right now in full acceptance of whatever is present. Notice where your body is touching the ground and bring your focus there. Begin feeling the pulsing energy of the Earth beneath us. The heartbeat of Mother Earth. With an inhale, breathe in gratitude and love for all that she gives us. Continuing to breathe, feel 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 and feel this pulsing energy as a light glowing in your heart. Breathing deeply, see and feel this light getting brighter until it fills your whole body and surrounds you. With your next exhale, think of someone you know who is having a difficult time in their life. Imagine that this person is right in front of you. While remaining connected with the love in your own heart, allow yourself to feel empathy for this person’s struggle as you breathe, honoring their journey. See 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 again. 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, and insecurity. Open to feeling nourished by the love within. Offer yourself acknowledgment 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, fears, and insecurities. Take a moment to feel empathy 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 as it grows brighter, surrounding her. Feel the light within your heart and the light within her heart growing brighter together. Take a moment to feel the woman to your left. This woman has her own struggles, pain, fears, and insecurities. Take a moment to feel empathy and great respect for this powerful woman beside you. While breathing into our 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 our heart and the light within her heart growing brighter together. Feel the love and light of every woman in the circle being amplified… Growing brighter… filling the whole room.

Envision in your life and community, women are interacting from a space of harmony, mutual support, celebration, acceptance, and upliftment. Feel in your heart, yourself and every woman feeling secure and happy in who she is and supported by our global sisterhood. Bring this intention to the light in your heart and with a deep breath imagine sending that light into the earth below you, like a seed being planted. Bring your hands to your heart and feel your heartbeat. Take a deep breath and gently open your eyes.
