The Divine Within
A Practice of Unity
Introduction:
In this seated practice, we'll explore the boundless nature of the divine, recognizing it as the very essence of existence itself. Through body awareness, heart connection, and breath work, we'll open ourselves to a broader understanding of the sacred, embracing its many facets within and around us. Let us begin this journey of expanding our perception and deepening our connection to the divine presence.
🌟 Centering
Sit comfortably with your spine straight. Close your eyes and take three deep breaths, allowing yourself to settle into the present moment.
🌼 Body Awareness of Divine Presence
Bring your attention to your body. Starting from your feet, slowly scan upwards, noticing sensations and energy in each part.
As you scan, imagine divine presence filling every cell of your being.
💖 Heart Connection to Divine Love
Place your hands over your heart. Visualize a warm, golden light emanating from your heart center.
Allow this light to expand, encompassing your entire being and beyond.
Silently affirm: "I am filled with and surrounded by divine love."
✨ Breath of Unity
Focus on your breath. With each inhale, imagine drawing in the essence of divine wisdom and kindness.
With each exhale, let go of any limited concepts of the divine.
🌈 Embracing Divine Multiplicity
Bring to mind the various aspects of the divine: might, goodness, wisdom, kindness, light, grace.
Imagine each of these qualities as different colored lights merging within you.
🙏 Longing and Fulfillment
Tune into any sense of longing or desire within you. Recognize this longing as a divine invitation.
Visualize this longing being met and fulfilled by the endless love of the divine.
Silently affirm: "My deepest desires are known and fulfilled in divine love."
🌅 Expanding Perception
Imagine your understanding of the divine expanding beyond all boundaries.
See the sacred in everything around you - in nature, in others, in yourself.
Silently affirm: "I recognize the divine in all of existence."
Closing
Take a deep breath, feeling the expanded sense of the divine within and around you.
Remember: This practice invites us to broaden our understanding of the divine, recognizing it as the very essence of existence. Allow this expanded awareness to inform your perspective and interactions throughout your day, seeing the sacred in all things.
