Meditation of the Month: June 2023

Making a Home Inside Yourself

I have recently fallen in love with a glorious poem.

It reminds me of the spiritual practice of turning inward to find comfort in oneself. I shared the poem and my themed guided meditation with my weekly healing meditation group The Imperfect Circle and we had a powerful experience. I'm offering it as this month's free meditation for our community. 

The Most Important Thing by Julia Fehrenbacher

I am making a home inside myself.

A shelter of kindness where everything is forgiven, everything allowed—a quiet patch of sunlight to stretch out without hurry, where all that has been banished and buried is welcomed, spoken, listened to—released. 

A fiercely friendly place I can claim as my very own.

I am throwing arms open to the whole of myself—especially the fearful, fault- finding, falling apart, unfinished parts, knowing every seed and weed, every drop of rain, has made the soil richer.

I will light a candle, pour a hot cup of tea, gather around the warmth of my own blazing fire. I will howl if I want to, knowing this flame can burn through any perceived problem, any prescribed perfectionism, any lying limitation, every heavy thing.

I am making a home inside myself where grace blooms in grand and glorious abundance, a shelter of kindness that grows all the truest things.

I whisper hallelujah to the friendly sky. Watch now as I burst into blossom. 

In this meditation, I will guide you through a visualization in which we travel to a home inside ourselves. You will find a place of acceptance, comfort, and tenderness, ready and waiting just for you.
