Hello, beautiful soul, and welcome to Meditate with Mandy. I am your humble host, Mandy, and it is my joy and honor to be sharing a moment of presence with you.
Everyone, hold the phone, unlock the locks, hold the elevator. I don’t know what the idiom is here, but let’s take a pre-moment-of-presence moment to acknowledge the magic of being able to meet our life force together across time and space and enter into awareness as one.
That really gets me going, my love. It really does.
So wherever you are, go ahead and get cozy and get comfy in your space. Bring a little pep today. Make it a little extra comfy.
For today’s particular practice, my preferred posture is what yogis call shavasana, which very simply means lying on your back, relaxed, completely horizontal. However, that’s just my favorite. You’re welcome to move into what your most ease-filled, loving meditation posture is.
And when you’re ready, my sweet friend, and not one moment before, we will flutter our beautiful eyelids closed and take a deep breath in through the nose and let it go through the mouth. Another in through the nose and out through the mouth. A third in through the nose and out through the mouth.
And now breathe easy, in and out through your nose, your own pace, your own rhythm, as we really land here.
How might we create a little space in our body just now? Can we snuggle the shoulders down away from the ears just a touch? Can we relax the muscles of the face, particularly between the eyebrows? Can we put away the cap of stress that’s typically over our heads and let the scalp muscles relax, the ears maybe dropping in space?
Can we test out a wee smile just to see?
Are we capable?
Can we pull up the corners of the mouth?
Oh yeah, my smile is working.
How’s yours?
Hello, smile.
And then let’s let it go.
Easy, but keeping the playfulness, the lightness.
That’s often called an inner smile. We don’t have to show it, but we’re feeling the effects as if it was our little secret.
Uh-oh, I love my life. Don’t show it.
Uh-oh, I don’t take this shit that seriously. Great, hide it.
Let that be our little secret.
Funnily enough, it tends to leak out when we’re truly giving ourselves the opportunity to feel that lightness, that levity, that humor.
Now let’s bring ourselves to the center of the chest today. And if it helps to give this space between your pectoral muscles a little tap, sometimes I’ll just wake it up with my hands, tapping the chest, bringing my awareness to this space.
Please feel free.
Or if resting a heavy hand, a gentle hand there helps bring your awareness in, then let yourself do that.
And breathe into this space easy.
Today we’ll rest our awareness right here, center of the chest, and breathe easy as I narrate us through a little experience.
Your heart, the very space you’re breathing into as I speak, the one you’re feeling the expansion, the space in, the life force, the possibility, your glorious heart, is the portal between the manifest and the unmanifest.
Traditionally speaking, it’s the bridge between the lower chakras, which represent the Earth and world, the physical, and the higher chakras, which represent the non-physical world.
Your heart is the bridge, not just spiritually but physically.
It sustains life force, blood flow, nutrient distribution.
Oh, what a magical, magical place.
The most magical in all of my multiverse exploration.
Here in your heart, you have access to everything, all things, physical and non-physical.
So as you breathe and you awaken it with your awareness, for that is what awareness does, it brings life. It brings power by being the witness.
It invigorates and vitalizes.
I want you to peek into your heart with your mind’s eye, as if you were out of your body, leaning in, like looking into a pond.
But instead of your reflection:
You see brilliant infinity.
Whatever that looks like to you.
For me, it’s a white light.
For you, it could be a black hole.
Look into the pond and see infinity.
Every dream you’ve ever had originated here. Both mental daydreams and sleep dreams.
Every thought you’ve ever had started here.
Every aspect of this reality, which is often thought of as a projection from the heart, started here.
Even that car outside agrees.
Anything you search for, love and joy, desire, or feel called to, already exists right here in this portal to infinity.
It’s within you.
So let’s play with it for a moment.
You are projecting from this technology we call the heart center.
Let’s see what’s in there.
Let’s begin with a feeling of absolute love.
A beloved pet.
The smell of pancakes in the morning.
Snow piling up outside your window.
The best hug you’ve ever received.
And they’re all stored right here in the center of your chest.
But so are the things that aren’t memories.
Intimate heart connection. It lives right here in the center of your chest.
The project that you dream of creating is already finished. It lives right here in the center of your chest.
Look into the portal.
Perceive it. See it. Feel it. No forcing. Just perceiving.
This portal transcends time.
It is infinity.
There’s no limit as to what it can touch.
For some, your future offspring live in this portal already.
Songs you’ve never heard but you love live here.
Your favorite memories that haven’t even occurred yet live here.
And rather than try to force them into manifestation, simply appreciating them with a tear of gratitude in this moment you and I are sharing is the magic.
They’ll come when they come.
But you can touch them now.
All of the devas and the gods, the angels and the saints, they live right here in the center of your chest.
The guides and the teachers who have helped awaken you, inspire you, they’re here.
The directors, the writers, the musicians, the authors, the speakers, the performers, they’re here, right here in the center of your chest.
Oh, my sweet friend, but we don’t stop there.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Let yourself feel the love.
And then realize this extends to physical objects too.
Instruments, the harp, the violin, the piano.
Inventions, those that exist in physical form and those that don’t.
Cars. Bicycles. Pens. Cell phones.
They all exist in the center of your chest.
And that silly little thing we call money, currency, a symbolic piece of form, exists right here in the center of your chest.
Not just a dollar, but billions, trillions, all of the gold and silver coins that have ever existed. All of the paper, all of the currencies and denominations from across the globe, all in the center of your chest.
And places.
Sweet places.
Every country on this planet, every nook and cranny that has and has not been discovered, named, or owned.
Every being and every body and every piece of land and water.
The entire Earth fits effortlessly right in the center of your chest.
This is the download, my sweet darling, that everything you encounter in your reality started and exists primarily in you.
And what you recognize as form is simply a composition of energy, the exact energy that is animating you right now.
As long as you are alive, you have access to all of it.
You don’t need to know even what you need from moment to moment.
Your mind may say a billion dollars.
But your heart says a conversation with a friend.
Your heart will bring you the perfect medicine in every moment.
And the more you surrender to that, the more power you’ll have to align with something specific as the time is right.
I invite you into this knowledge:
You are the magician.
Never using your power to escape the moment.
Using it to lean in.
And as you lean in, more and more abundance, more and more free will will flood you.
The greatest irony of it all is not when we seek it, when we witness it, when we smile at it, when we kiss it with our awareness and say:
Come when you’re ready, because I already figured out I’m this whole damn thing.
When you’re ready, my darling friend, take a beautiful deep breath in through your nose and let it go through your mouth.
Let your heart portal close for now as you take another deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Bring yourself back into your body.
Give your shoulders a little wiggle as you breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.
And when you’re ready, beautiful soul, and you know the drill, never rushing, you may breathe easy and flutter your beautiful eyelids open to greet your world.
You are the magician.
Have fun with your power.
Until we meet again, my dear friend, I am sending you all of the love that I’ve got.
Oh, it’s always more.
It’s never ever less.
It’s infinity love.
Because you, you are so very worthy of it.
