Hey there, welcome to Wake Me Up and to this very lovely meditation that will guide you to the realization of just how unique and special you are. You will see how supported you are in this world,

and you'll feel the abundance of love and gratitude that surrounds your life every single day. So go ahead and find a comfortable position that you'd like to meditate in. And if you're starting from bed, then maybe you'd like to roll over and sit up. But of course, you'd be you'd like to roll over and sit up. You can meditate in whatever position works best for you, your body, and the space you're in. And once you've found that position, just allow yourself to settle in. Take a nice deep breath.

Fill all the way up through your chest and your belly. Hold and exhale. And as you let that air out, just gently close your eyes. And for this first moment of meditation, simply try to enjoy that feeling of letting go of having nothing to do, no one to answer to, nothing to worry about. This time is for you to cultivate calm, relaxation, and a wealth of other positive feelings. So try to allow yourself to settle into that.

Each breath guides you deeper to a more relaxed and comfortable state, a state where all of the muscles of your body are softened. All of the worries of your day-to-day life are just that bit farther away. And as you continue to settle deeper and deeper within, you can allow your mind. to transport to a peaceful flowing river. Hear that sound, that subtle rush and tumble of the water. Feel the steadiness. Perhaps among all of the wildlife in and around this river, there's a lotus flower floating on the top.

That lotus flower is such a unique happening. rose from the dirt below the river, from basically nothing, just raw elements. It just so happens that a seed landed in the right place where the right nutrients and the right conditions existed. It created a place where this plant, this life, could flourish, allowing that lotus plant to rise to the top of the river, float there and flower, outflowing of life in a space that is otherwise often difficult to grow from, requires an abundance of things to go right. And as you observe this flower atop the river, you begin to appreciate that the forces of life have converged in this particular place,

at this particular time, to create that particular happening, which we call the lotus flower. It's a beautiful thing to behold, to be grateful for, and it shows the interconnection of all things, the abundance that occurs when those forces come together. It's an example that, that life flourishes in the most unique and unlikely of places.

And if, here as you meditate, relaxing deeper and deeper, you're able to step out of your own shoes, your own life, your own skin and bones, then you can quite easily begin to see that you too are child. like the lotus flower. So zoom out on yourself, wherever you are in time and space, rising above yourself, until you're looking at the whole Earth and apply that metaphor of the lotus flower in the river. Here, on a grander scale to yourself, most of the universe empty space, devoid of anything useful. Most planets aren't even capable of forming or supporting life. Yet here, where you are, there's an opportunity. It's that spot in the river, where the

soil is just right, where the seed has also just so happened to fall, where the current isn't too strong. You see, my friend, everything in this universe has coordinated to create you. And maybe it's just by happenstance. Maybe it was intentional. But either way, the universe has coordinated to make you this particular happening at this particular time. And this particular place. acquired an abundance of things to go right so that you could be here today. It's something to be grateful for, a special occurrence that can't be overlooked.

You are truly an anomaly. Not only has this coordination occurred to create you, but also to support you. Because in this little spot, in the vastness, of the universe is also everything you need to live. Supply of challenges and opportunities, a whole host of other living beings to be your companions, teachers, and friends. And with this view, it's clear that no matter where you started,

no matter where you are, no matter what you're doing, your circumstances or your past are a flourishing of life in the most unique and unlikely of ways. Everything has aligned just right so that you can exist just as you do. Be grateful for that to be here.

And you have everything you need because of how many other things are here to support you. Now if you feel so inclined, you can repeat to yourself, I am love, gratitude, am abundance, gratitude, with those positive feelings,

filling your heart and mind. Take one final, deep breath, inhaling first into your belly, and then your chest, holding at the top, And then exhaling. Just letting that air fall back out. And as you're ready,

you can begin to bring yourself back to your surroundings, noticing the sensation of whatever supporting your body. Touch against your skin. Noticing any sounds going on around you. And when you're ready, slowly opening your eyes, gathering yourself, of that meditative state. Well, my friend, I really hope you enjoyed this meditation

and that the realization at the heart of this meditation has resonated with you. Because simply put, it's true. You are a very unique, very special happening in this universe. And whether by design or simply happenstance, you are here because everything we know of has conspired to create you. I hope that makes you feel special and important.

And I hope you also realize that the same sense of uniqueness applies to everyone and everything else in our world. So go and share these feelings of love and gratitude not only with yourself but others today. Be a source for positivity because at your core, that's what you are. But that's all I've got for you today. If you enjoyed this episode, then please leave a comment or a review and let me know.
