The Divine Now

A Meditation on Present Awareness

Introduction:

This guided meditation invites you to experience the divine presence in the here and now, shifting from the concept of a distant God to an intimate, indwelling spirit. Through gentle breathing and awareness, we'll explore the transformative power of recognizing our union with the divine in every moment.

🌅 Settling In

Find a comfortable seated position.
Close your eyes and take a deep, cleansing breath.
Allow your body to relax, releasing any tension you may be holding.
Feel the support of the surface beneath you.

🌟 Centering the Mind

Bring your attention to your breath, noticing the natural rhythm of inhaling and exhaling.
With each breath, let go of thoughts about the past or future.
Gently guide your focus to the present moment.

✨ Connecting with Divine Presence

Imagine a warm, golden light surrounding you.
This light represents the divine presence that is always with you, here and now.
Allow this light to permeate your being, filling every cell of your body.

Silently affirm: "The divine dwells within me, here and now."

Take a few moments to sit with this awareness.

Feel the intimate connection between your physical form and the divine essence.
Notice how this presence is not separate from you, but an integral part of who you are.

Silently affirm: "I am one with the divine in this present moment."

Allow yourself to rest in this awareness of union.
Reflect on how this understanding of divine presence can transform your daily life.

How might you approach challenges differently, knowing you're not separate from the divine?

Silently affirm: "Every moment is an opportunity to experience divine love."

Take a few more breaths, fully embracing this sense of presence and connection.

Closing

Slowly bring your awareness back to your physical surroundings.
Feel the gentle weight of your body and the rhythm of your breath.
When you're ready, open your eyes, carrying this sense of divine presence with you.

Remember, the divine is not elsewhere, but right here, right now, within and around you.
