Discover your True Self Meditation
Peeling away excess layers - DISCOVERING YOUR TRUE Self
Find a comfortable position. Drop the shoulders, the back of you neck, the hips.
Drop tension in the lower back, drop tension behind the knees, from behind the ankles.
These are all metaphorical JUNCTIONS in our life's road, your life's map.
They carry a lot of tension since you were forced at some point to choose a direction which was not aligned with YOU.
Once again - DROP the TENSION from behind the SHOULDERS. All the tension accumulated behind the scapula. You can really see all the tension behind the shoulders, and you scrape away the colours which were painted on your shoulders like a painting on a wall.
If you can, identify spontaneously the colour you are peeling off your shoulder blades.
Move on to the back of the neck. You DROP all TENSION through peeling away all that was attached and laid all across the BACK OF THE NECK. You are really scraping the colour that was dying that wall. Once again pay attention to whatever colour that comes up.
Maybe this time it's a different colour
You may be feeling more EXPOSED. Like standing in an open field and the breeze caressing the back of your neck. That small spot in your body, as in your life's map, suddenly somehow feels more exposed.
Whatever being exposed means to you.
Mindfully you're moving your attention to the HIPS and LOWER BACK area. RELEASING all TENSION. Peeling away everything that was attached there. Taking it away, peeling it off.
Be mindful of the colours that come up to your attention around this area. It's a different region in your own personal map. The map is not written yet but you're writing and depicting the map with each step you're taking.
Notice the ROAD SIGNS, the FEELINGS and SENSATIONS that come up spontaneously without any force. No forcing of the mind, of expectations, nor the shoulds and shouldn'ts.
The signs are just there to give you the direction that only you need and only you can understand.
You move on to the area BEHIND THE KNEES. An area we normally don't pay attention to.
You may now observe it more carefully, and even choose that exact point where you are going to start that movement of peeling off the excess layers that were lying there, that were attached without you noticing, that were just lying there, maybe without your permission.
Pay attention to the colours. Once again you may be feeling more exposed. Feeling that you MAY CONTACT with something that was covered for years and you don't even remember how it really looks like, how it really feels.
How does it really feel to be exposed, be HAPPILY NAKED AND CLEAN?
What is your TRUE ORIGIN? Not the one embedded in stories and family history. You're own true origin lying simply right there.
You move on to your ANKLES and even the SOLES of your FEET. Observing and deciding how you're going to peel off whatever was attached.
Pay attention to the colours.
Now you know that each step you're going to take during your day, wherever you go - getting off the bed, going towards the bathroom, the kitchen, leaving the house, going outside, steeping into your car, the train, each step is going to be a barefoot step, a bare step. A FRESH step.
You'll be able to FEEL YOURSELF FOR THE FIRST TIME in a way you have never experienced before. Like being a baby again but with all the maturity and experience that you carry now.
That maturity and those experiences will serve you not to create new stories but to understand the meaning of these new and genuine feelings and sensations of your true Self.
You're able to peel off all excess layers and see yourself as if you were watching your own DNA, to that level of SENSITIVITY.
Cherish that moment where you suddenly notice something NEW. Even if it's a feeling you already know but you experience it in a different way, with a different approach and attitude.
Like experiencing with a different SKIN. A fresh, clean and receptive skin.
When you gradually and respectfully leave this ENERGY SPACE of yours, you are not abandoning yourself, you're not leaving yourself just vulnerable out there.
You are CONNECTED to your exposed self. Feeling CONFIDENT in knowing that no matter how many layers you wear metaphorically or physically you are STRONG and SOLID in your own PASSION.
You are ANCHORED in your own personal and intimate map, because you've just been there.
Because your DNA knows that BEING TRULY YOURSELF IS A SOURCE OF UNCONDITIONAL BLISS.
You know that in the KNOWING OF THE HEART.
Knowing of the heart allows you to be EXPOSED, CLEAN, FRESH, RECEPTIVE, OPEN, ACCESSIBLE TO YOUR TRUE SELF.
