UGH, life gets messy at times. 

It feels like tests, it can tempt one to feel lonely, exhausting, and trigger the longing to be held and cared for. 

If you identify with any of those feelings, this is for you. Please listen and share with someone else, and let's help each other remember we are pieces of the whole. 

This visualization was inspired by friends facing loss, fears, health issues, frustration and more. This is my way of offering support while building myself up during my own challenges. 

I hope this makes a difference for someone today. If so, let me know... or at least pay it forward. Let's picture love together.

Hi friends. Welcome back to Picture Love. I have a little bit of story time today and then a meditation for you if you stick around till the end. And I do not want you to leave here without feeling the love and connection of community. And a reminder that we are all pieces of the whole, the illusion of separation is nothing that serves us, and so it's with a spirit of peace and unity that I come to you today. So last week's episode, I, I shared with you the Greenheart meditation, and I have gotten such beautiful responses from people who sent me emojis or pictures of green hearts that they drew or a palm stone that was a green heart that they had, and what was so fun was the universe kept showing it to me too, when it was not somebody who heard my podcast I love those synchronicities. It just makes me feel loved and heard. And so if you are one of the people who responded to show me your heart, your green heart, thank you so much. And if you missed it and you wanna go back, please do. Ever since that day I recorded it, I have been confided in over a tragedy or a loss or some, a serious issue from somebody else, literally from minimum one a day since last week. And if you are one of those friends, you know what I'm talking about. We want people to feel heard, but we also wanna honor their privacy. One of my friends confided that she had lost a loved one. Another one had a house fire, which took me back to my house fire, my, one of my very first episodes of this podcast I got to the privilege of listening to an overworked and underappreciated healthcare hero. A neighbor of mine who really cares about asking, is this surgery really necessary? Is this medication necessary? This blood work looks really good. Why do they need another medication? And willing to ask those questions I love strong, courageous humans who will go through these trials and come through still fighting, still swinging, still breathing, and it's my intention in the meditation visualization. I'm gonna share with you today to offer you a chance to feel held and reminded that you are a piece of something bigger. And that we are all divine beings and human experiences. And no matter if your body is recovering, your home is recovering, you're dealing with other people who have lost touch with why they went into this field. Or if, like me, you're smelling smoke from wildfires. Let these words hold you today. Let you know you can hold yourself, but that other people around you are also holding themselves up. And I want to remind myself and anybody else who needs to hear it, that we can love them, we can feel for them, we can observe them, and we can be supportive of them without adding the suffering to our own plate. So if you can join me with a little bit of an energetic protection, so to speak, and send love and intention, not just to them, but to yourself today, I think that this visualization is going to support that intention. And quick little disclaimer before I get started. There may be times where I use a gender to refer to somebody in this visualization. If, if my words don't match yours or my labels don't match your beliefs, please hear it with the words that do resonate. And when I will say maybe a pronoun, a he or a she or a, they. I don't necessarily mean gender. I'm speaking energies because every single one of us has feminine and masculine in us. And if we can just honor the pieces of the whole and know that softness doesn't mean weakness, we can be strong and soft at the same time. We can be. Tough and loving at the same time. We can be, all of these things that we were taught or I know I was taught to perceive as contradictions are actually different spices in that seasoning that come together and they make us all the describe different facets of us. You can interpret it however, supports you and where you are in your journey right now. But again, please don't get caught up on, um, I. What if you use a word for spirit or God or anything, I do not mean to attach to any religious belief. It's just a matter of where are you in your journey in this life? And so please use pronouns or adjectives or words that resonate in your heart when you are following along. Without further ado, I'm gonna dive right in. I invite you to, if you are doing something, maybe just take the next 10 minutes or so, and not do anything else or get into a place where you can close your eyes in a safe place, or maybe listen to it now, but participate in it later. And as always, if something here feels really, really good, please share it with somebody else who could use a little extra love today. So let's picture love. I'd like to invite you now to take a deep, relaxing breath and fill your lungs as full as is comfortable. As you're doing that, let your feet find their way to a surface beneath you. If you're standing, find a place where you are steady. Can use the support of the wall if you are sitting, make sure your seat and the ground are still beneath you so you don't lose your balance. And if you feel safe, let your eyes close themselves. Take another deep relaxing breath, and a visualize that the air is filling up your entire body. From your head all the way down to the toes, let the oxygen fill your cells with that freshness and let it out gently. However, you need to now continue the breath at a pace that feels the best to you, and I want you to imagine that you are standing in a beautiful place. It can be the ocean, it can be in darkness. It can be in the clouds, it can be wherever you feel at peace, that's quiet and you can hear nature or just silence and continue your deep breaths that nourish every cell, all the way to your head, to the tip of your toes. And all of a sudden an impulse happens and you reach out to your right and you find a little hand there that wants to hold yours, and it's not as big as yours, but it's strong enough that it can grab at least most of your fingers, and it feels soft and it feels warm. You hear a little giggle that comes along with it and you can't help but open your eyes and see who's holding your hands and you see a toddler version of yourself and she laughs at you like as if this is so natural and yet so funny. And then she closes her eyes. Oh. And so you close your eyes too, and she deep takes a nice deep breath and lets her little belly get all fat and puffed out and exhales and reminds you to relax your stomach. I relax your jaw and relax your body and just be, and as you take in another deep breath, you reach out to the left and you find full size hand that takes your left hand and you don't even have to look. You know who that is. That's your higher self, that is your soul. You get to feel, you get to hold the hand you your higher self and you get this three little squeezes that mean I love you. And then you pass it on to your little self and you're about to, when she gives it back. I love you, those three little squeezes and you can't help it. Your whole body is so happy. Maybe there's a smile on your face, but you feel it in all of your skin. And then you notice there is the sound of other people breathing. And you peek and you see next to your toddler self, there's a little adolescent version of yourself holding the hand of a teenager version of yourself, holding the hand of a young adult self, holding the hand of. A little bit older adult version of yourself who's holding onto your higher selves hand, and you close your eyes quickly and you continue to take beautiful, deep inhales and notice all of you breathing together in and out, and this beautiful circle. And your heart starts to flutter the happiest little butterfly flutter in your heart, and you start to visualize this beautiful golden light coming down from above through your crown. You can actually feel it in the crown of your head. It's tingly, it's warm, it's radiating, it's going through your third eye. It's in your voice. It might make your throat, make you wanna clear your throat or take a deep breath or even cough to get comfortable. And that gold and shimmery white light continues down into your heart and all of a sudden those flutters feel like little pulses that are causing waves that are spreading around that circle. And you know, all of you are feeling it at once. And you know that your higher self in your heart saying, I love you. I love you, I love you. And that golden light doesn't stop there. It spreads down your arms and around the circle, and as it's circling around, you feel that heartbeat, that pulse, and you feel ripples of beautiful, radiant, light and love pulsing within your circle. Sending out waves to the world around you. The light doesn't stop there. It keeps doing all of the things. It's done and it fills up your solar plexus, all of your chakras down, all down your legs, down to your feet, and you can feel that fluttery, beautiful pulsing light throughout every molecule of your body. And then as if it's just the most natural thing. You notice that you've let go of your hands, but your hearts are connected in this circle because you are one. This is you. This is you at peace and connected to every part of yourself. And then. There's this beautiful star in the center, and you notice that your hearts are all connecting to the center of that circle as if they were spokes of a wheel. That center is your future self. That's you. So vibrant, face. You just know that is the person you are becoming. And every version of you is connected to that beautiful, beautiful person. Continue to take some deep, beautiful breaths. Don't let that air stand still. Let it keep moving the way you need to, and just bask in the beauty of being connected to yourself without having to do anything. And as you are basking as yourself in all the versions of yourself and loving all the versions of yourself, just take a few minutes to quietly listen to that beating heart, to that message of love, to the message of compassion and unconditional love saying You are enough. You are hope. You are at peace. You are so loved, you are so supported, and everything you need can be found right here. As your circle steps together and your higher self supervises it all she tells you, step into the center and become that beautiful new version of yourself. And then as you do and she takes your hand, you notice somebody else took your hand and you realize it's us. It's all of us. We are all one. You have been surrounded by the people who love you on this earth, who love you in this life, who were here before you and will come after this human body. But we are all together holding hands connected with our higher selves and peace and unity, and we are reminded we are pieces of one. None of us are separated. We are all connected. We are whole. We are well, and we rejoice in that golden, radiant light inside of all of us because that is us. We are one, and you are so, so loved. Carry this with you today. Every time you notice your heartbeat, feel that golden, beautiful, beautiful light that is you. And if you need to be reminded, put your hand on your heart and receive that reminder every time because whether you feel it or remember that golden white love light that is you. I love you.
