In this meditation we will be inviting deeper levels of forgiveness in our lives. The other day, my eldest daughter Lilly was sharing some of her favorite quotes by Martin Luther King and I was struck by the profound and timely message of this one in particular. To paraphrase: “When we are devoid of the ability to forgive, we're truly unable to love.” At one time or another, we’ve all held on to the pains of the past, whether that’s heartache, loss, grief, betrayal, or injustice. These unresolved emotions build bitterness, resentment and toxicity for bodies, our minds and our overall well being. And yet, we have the power to set ourselves free. When we bring our focus of forgiveness inward and illuminate the voice of the harsh inner critic, we lighten and enlighten ourselves. That inner healing balm of forgiveness, acceptance and embrace opens our hearts for greater experiences of love and compassion for ourselves as well as others.
This time of year is a marked season of gratitude, and yet gratitude without forgiveness is still a limited perspective. We cannot move into the fullness of gratitude for all that we are and every blessing and lesson in our lives until we can move into self-forgiveness. We must have forgiveness for the places within ourselves we may be holding up to the perfected aspects of self-image and who we think we should be in the world, and for all of the imperfections that we cast on ourselves. How can we really be grateful for each other and emanate the light and love of gratitude until we come into a place of forgiveness? I recently was formulating a new collection. As I was preparing sacred space to create the Gratitude blend, my inner guidance was crystal clear. I was not able to anchor the full spectrum of frequency for the gratitude blend until I had created the Forgiveness blend. At first, I was surprised. And then I could see the energy of the sacred human heart and how those energy blockages of trauma that we have carried create walls within us. How can we fully receive the love, the gratitude, the compassion and the warmth of life when we hold these parts of ourselves frozen and walled off from their welcome? Forgiveness is a key of release, of expansion and of freedom. It cannot be forced, contrived or demanded. It begins with an open invitation and authentic dialogue within each of us and serves as heralds the assimilation of great wisdom along the journey of our soul’s evolution.
Essential Oil Alchemy:
Working with an essential oil helps to open the field, chakras, and cellular consciousness so we can access those malleable aspects of our being that are ready to shift, transmute, activate, clear, expand, and open.
Linden blossom is an incredible oil to use when we are looking to transmute aspects of self-judgment and pain that we carry with us from past betrayal, envy, injustice, or separation. It’s medicine is soft, gentle, and expansive. It is enveloping and inviting in a sweet and floral way. Linden blossom reminds me of the aroma of the beach right after the rain, when the sea is fresh and alive and offers us a new perspective of clarity in our lives. Linden medicine is enveloping and inviting in a sweet, floral way drawing us deeper into the embrace of self acceptance. This clearing of self-judgement can become the bridge toward forgiving those in our lives who we've imprisoned in judgement. It's also an interesting way to contemplate which parts of ourselves we hold in a prison of isolation, and how we view others’ energy, actions, or words to be unjust and hurtful. This oil also supports us to release all energy that is not our own.
Crystal Alchemy:
The crystal alchemical aspect we will be using for today’s healing meditation is Pink Opal. The opal holds all of the colors of the spectrum, and working with the frequency of this beautiful gem brings in the white light that also holds all of the colors of the spectrum. Working with Pink Opal is a beautiful way to bring the light of forgiveness deep within. Thus, we are able to assimilate a greater understanding of the varied perspectives of humanity and how we emotionally project our pain onto those in our lives, when the spectrum of emotion gets compressed within us.
If you don't have a Pink Opal or any other crystal, that’s okay because we will be working with the cosmic consciousness and vital life force of both the crystal and essential oil alchemy. We do this because crystals and plants have complementary vibrational patterning, yet subtle differences in their spirit, cellular, and DNA level medicine that, when combined, create a beautiful energetic harmonic of evolution.
Meditation:
If you have an essential oil at home, place one drop on your left palm, which receives a higher frequency. Invite in the medicine of linden blossom and pink opal. Take a deep breath in, and on the exhalation let go of everything that is not of light and ease.
Allow your breath to ease in and out, inhaling and exhaling from the lower belly. Invite your being to sit in this part of your body and settle in. Open, allow, relax. Invite all of the stress and tension of the day, the week, the holiday season, and this global time of planetary shift, awakening, and evolution, to dissipate and dissolve into the light around you.
On your next breath in, bring the focus of your attention to the dantian point, about an inch and a half below your navel. The sphere of light and single note or frequency that holds you in the perfection of form that you are.
Let your muscles soften and relax. Keep your arms and legs uncrossed and your spine straight, to allow the prana and the light frequency to move through you with ease, grace, and great expansion.
On your next breath in, envision a golden line of light dropping down from the center of your dantian, the center of your lower belly, down through your root chakra that opens, softens, expands. This golden line of light drops down each leg simultaneously, and then down through the foot chakras, which open and expand. All three lines of light now converge at the earth star chakra and sink, effortlessly moving down layer by layer through the earth. Invite in a deeper connection to the safety of the protective light and womb-like energy of the earth, as well as the great abundance, fertility, and energy of rejuvenation that's there. Let your consciousness sink down to the very center of the earth, connecting with the core crystal.
Rest here, at the center of the earth in this sacred chamber. As you begin to focus your gaze around this chamber, you’ll notice beautiful formations of green flora and fauna that are growing before your eyes and expanding from the walls. You’ll notice the sound of a waterfall off in the distance. Beautiful, jungle-like plants surround the entirety of the walls of this comforting chamber, and the leaves shimmer in golden light. Drink in this green-golden light. Large flowers of white, red, pink, and yellow bloom from the walls of this chamber in a vine-like fashion, surrounding you with soft and sweet aromas. These plant structures begin to give off increased levels of oxygen, and you breathe deeply to receive these nutrients in your cellular consciousness. You feel your entire being expand, as it is invigorated, energized, and nourished on every level.
Feel each chakra expand to drink in this liquid light and oxidation. Feel how it fills your brain cells, neurons, and neural pathways. It illuminates each center, system, structure, gland, and hemisphere of the brain, filling each cell with the vital life force and nutrients of the plants and frequency in this healing chamber.
Breathe, open, expand, allow. On your next breath in, envision a beautiful pink opal floating about two inches from your heart. This pink opal is here to magnetize and transmute any aspects of your life, your past, or any past generations held within your DNA, that are calling for forgiveness. Where do you hold judgment toward yourself? Where do you hold yourself in harshness or perceived imperfection? Where do you hold the energy of “I wish I had not said or done that.” Where do you hold the energy of “Why do I do this to myself? Why didn’t I do this? Why didn’t I say that? How could I have done this?” Where do you hold the pain of betrayal, and in what ways have you betrayed yourself? The light and truth of forgiveness is with you in each and every moment. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩, 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝, 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚. Invite all of these places, energies, emotions, memories, and thoughts to be placed into the Pink Opal for transmutation. As we bring the sacred practice of cleansing energy to the point within us that has created these energies, our mantra can be, *“I am sorry, please forgive me. Thank you, I love you.”
Breathe and continue to pour these energies and emotions into the pink opal. Where have you held a grudge for another that has more to do with your own pain? Where do you hold resentment and bitterness that keeps you from feeling fully alive? It is time to set yourself free from all of these energies that do not belong to you, that you have carried for another, that you have carried through your DNA and your lineage. *“I'm sorry, please forgive me. Thank you, I love you.”
Call forth the cosmic consciousness and vital life force of linden blossom and pink opal. Invite the fullness of your frequency, medicine, spirit, vibration, and light to anchor and actualize through each and every layer of your being. It anchors and actualizes through each cell, molecule, particle, electron, and through the portal of your DNA and each bloodline, mother and father, at a potency of 10 MM now.
Breathe, open, and allow this recalibration to fully actualize and assimilate. Feel the alchemical potency of the pink opal as it imprints upon each cell transmuting and encoding its frequency of light that expands throughout your being until each cell begins to permeate this light. Each pore in your skin begins to permeate this pink opalescent light. Feel your heart open. You may feel a tingling in the very center of your heart space. You may feel an expansion in the very core of your being. You may feel each chakra open to drink in this light in a profound way. The lightness of linden blossom moves through your auric field, through your blood, bone, and marrow, lifting your frequency. The sweetness of linden blossom is like honey on your tongue.
We come together in this sacred community to embody the remembrance of our divine light, quintessence, and sovereignty, and to set ourselves free. We do this so that we can hold a beacon of light and emanations of freedom for others to see, so they may find the remembrance of that truth too.
Continue to breathe deeply the expanded levels of oxygen that come from this living chamber of light, the earth, and the heart of our earth mother. Look at the great abundance all around you. This rich expression of life is your birthright.
Go ahead and breathe in any of the oil left on your hands to complete this new memory cell within your brain and being, and to complete this circuit and light and healing forever held within your consciousness. Offer a great breath of gratitude for yourself for carving out this time, for the community we have within each other, and for all of the energies of light surrounding and supporting us.
Enjoy the blessed bounty that you are, that you emanate, that you experience and express. So be it. When you're ready, you can bring your consciousness back to the present moment.
Blessings,
Adora
