Divine Seeking

A Practice of Being Found

Introduction:

In this 7-minute spiritual practice, we'll explore the profound truth of God's relentless seeking and unconditional love. Through body awareness, heart connection, breath work, and affirmations, we'll open ourselves to the experience of being sought after and found by divine love, even in our most lost states. This practice invites us to recognize our own lostness and to consent to being found, embracing the transformative power of God's endless mercy.

🌟 Grounding in Lostness

Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Bring awareness to your body, noticing any areas of tension or discomfort.

Allow yourself to feel any sense of lostness, confusion, or separation you might be experiencing.

Affirm: "I acknowledge my lostness and open myself to being found."

🌼 Breath of Divine Seeking

Focus on your breath. With each inhale, imagine divine love searching for you.

With each exhale, release any resistance to being found.

Silently say: "Divine love seeks me tirelessly, even when I am lost."

💖 Heart-Centered Receptivity

Place your hands over your heart. Visualize your heart as a house with many rooms.

Imagine divine love as a light, searching through every corner of your heart.

Affirm: "I open every part of my being to divine love's seeking presence."

✨ Embodying the Lost Sheep

Stand up if able. Close your eyes and imagine yourself as the lost sheep in a wilderness.

Feel the roughness of the terrain, the isolation, the fear.

Now, sense the approach of the loving shepherd. Feel the relief and joy of being found.

Silently say: "Even in my deepest lostness, I am sought after and cherished."

🌈 Breath of Surrender

Sit down and focus on your breath again. With each inhale, draw in the warmth of divine love.

With each exhale, let go of the need to find your own way.

Affirm: "I surrender to the joy of being found by love that never gives up."

🙏 Extending Mercy

Bring to mind someone who seems lost or struggling. Imagine extending the same seeking love to them.

Visualize yourself venturing out to find and support them.

Silently repeat: "As I have been sought, so I seek others. As I have been found, so I help others feel found."

🌅 Living as the Found

Envision yourself moving through your day, carrying the awareness of being perpetually sought and found by divine love.

See yourself recognizing and responding to this love in everyday moments.

Affirm: "I am never truly lost. Divine love always finds me, and through me, seeks others."

Closing

Take a deep breath, feeling the profound sense of being found and cherished.

Final Affirmation:

"I carry the joy of being found with me always. I am open to divine love's persistent seeking in every moment."

Remember: This practice is about recognizing our own lostness and opening ourselves to the transformative experience of being sought and found by divine love. It invites us to embrace our vulnerability and to trust in the relentless mercy that always seeks us out. Carry this awareness with you throughout your day, remaining open to the countless ways divine love finds and renews you.
