Lubna's Meditation.
I am here. I am present. I am open. Welcome. This is Holy Communion.
Close your eyes.
Allow yourself to become still.
There is nowhere to go. Nothing to accomplish. Nothing to seek.
Simply arrive.
Take a gentle breath and hear the whisper of the Divine:
Come home.
Come home, Beloved, and be not afraid. It is I.
Come home to rest. Come home to full relaxation. Here you are complete.
Nothing is wanting. Nothing is needed of you. There is nothing to grasp, nothing to hold, nothing to become.
Rest.
As your breathing softens, feel the warmth of sunlight upon your face.
Notice its gentle embrace.
Feel the living water surrounding you.
Hear the quiet confession arising from your own heart:
I am in all of this—the sunlight, the warmth, the water.
There is no separation.
The light touches you because it already knows you. The water carries you because it remembers you.
Allow yourself to fall into deep peace.
Perhaps you drift as though asleep upon an endless sea.
In the silence, a loving guide approaches.
With infinite tenderness, the voice says:
"You are on a journey. You have been asleep. Now it is time to awaken."
Not awakening into effort...
but awakening into remembrance.
Remembering who you have always been.
Remembering the Web of Light to which you have always belonged.
Move as one.
Open to freedom.
Flow in freedom.
Like the rushing water, allow yourself to be carried home.
There is no resistance in the current.
There is only trust.
Before you stretches an endless ocean.
Feel the rhythm of its sacred tide.
The waves expand toward the shore.
They offer treasures freely.
Then they return again to the infinite sea, carrying everything home.
Expansion.
Return.
Harmony.
Cycles.
Ebb and flow.
The ocean never clings to what it gives.
It delights in the giving.
It delights in the receiving.
It knows there has only ever been One movement.
As you rest, feel the sacred Sea of Love drawing all things gently back into itself.
Not by force.
By Love.
You are in it.
It is in you.
You are one.
This...
is Holy Communion.
Not something received.
Something remembered.
It has all been given to you.
Open and surrender into this.
Open yourself.
Empty yourself.
Fill yourself.
Empty again.
Fill again.
Like the movement of the sea.
Like the rising and setting of the sun.
Like the beating of the heart of the Divine within you.
If today a gift appears upon your sacred shore,
receive it with gratitude.
Do not question whether you deserve it.
Do not hurry past it.
Receive it as a treasure washed ashore by the Eternal Sea of Love.
Perhaps it comes as joy.
Perhaps as stillness.
Perhaps as forgiveness.
Perhaps simply as Presence.
Whatever comes...
welcome it.
Listen now.
Can you hear it?
Like the echo hidden within a seashell...
Wisdom has always been calling your name.
Listen.
Honor it.
Be grateful.
Rest a little longer in this communion.
Feel the sunlight.
Feel the warmth.
Feel the water.
Feel yourself held within the great web of light,
where every soul belongs and every breath is shared.
Nothing is outside of Love.
Nothing has ever been outside of Love.
Remain here for one more breath.
And another.
Until your heart can only whisper,
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
And so it is.
Amen.
