Hi everybody, I'm Geoffrey Allen. Welcome to the meditation. And while I'm explaining what we're going to do, I want you to start right now with bringing your attention and awareness back to yourself and just becoming more and more present in this time right now and in your body right now. So what we're going to work on today is working with your flow and looking at how can we untangle your world so that you're living gracefully and flowing gracefully in your life and and with the life of the people closest to you, your friends and your family, and with the people that you work with and your extended circles and with humanity as a whole. And so we're going to do this meditation where you're going inside and untangling your energy so you can live more gracefully. And I have a couple recommendations. As this happens, you want to just trust that you can do it, if only just for a few minutes. In this meditation, trust that you have the power to change your life. You have the power to change other people. And as much as you can, let yourself immerse yourself fully so you're free from your normal patterns and ideas and biases. And I also recommend, don't try to remember everything, don't try to understand everything, because this will take you out of the flow. You just want to go really deep into the experience and free yourself from your entanglements, that's all. If this is your first time in this meditation, go easy on yourself. Don't try to push yourself hard or try to heal everything or even solve your biggest problems. Just be graceful and know that the things that come up right now are the perfect things for you to unwind. Don't judge what you're doing. Don't try to reach too hard. Because part of being graceful is showing up on time not too early and not too late. Being graceful is the easy way through life. It's like picking the low hanging fruit, which is ripe and easy to reach. You don't have to stretch and get something that you're not ready for yet. Each time you do this meditation, you'll refine your coherency, refine your flow, and you'll have a deeper internal and external alignment with life. So this is really powerful. Again, I recommend that as you do this meditation, you really relax into it. There's no force needed or no Effort. There's no perfect way to do it or no way to fail. It's kind of like you're steering a canoe rather than a car. The energy is flowing and you're learning to flow with it. But you don't have to do all the work by yourself. Most of all, I recommend that you relax and enjoy the meditation. Let's begin by calling back all of your attention, all of your awareness from everything around you. Just notice if you're thinking about work, thinking about your relationships, thinking about your health or your day, whatever it is. Begin to let these thoughts go. Feel your awareness coming in close to you. Be aware of your breath. Be aware of your body. Be right here in present time. As you begin to get quiet inside, let your awareness be right behind your eyes. Feel all your attention and energy present here. If you haven't done so already, gently close your eyes. From this peaceful place inside you, begin to feel your body's rhythm. Feel your breath, feel your pulse. Feel the river of life flowing through you and your blood in your breath, in your body. And notice where are you flowing gracefully? Smile. Be grateful for these graceful flows. And notice where are you enforcing your will on your body? Does your body need to be a certain way? Are you letting it follow its natural flow? Where are you enforcing your will on your mind? Do you need to think a certain way? Are there thoughts you're not allowed to.

Or are you free to be yourself? Where are you enforcing your will on your emotions? Are there things you need to feel? Are you trying not to feel certain things? Is there someone else you wish that you could be like emotionally? And notice where are you enforcing your will on your spirit? Do you need to follow a particular spiritual path? Are there certain things that are taboo or forbidden for you right now? Let go of all these enforcements, all the places you're enforcing your will on your body, your mind, your emotions and your spirit. And trust, if only for the next few minutes, that you can be free. Trust that authentic you in your body, in your mind, in your emotions and your spirit. Notice one lingering thought that says I can't trust myself because. Or I shouldn't do a certain thing because. And gently release that thought right now. Trust yourself. Trust your own flow. Trust that you can live gracefully. Smile and be aware of your breath and your heartbeats, your body's rhythm. Notice if you're a little freer already. Expand your awareness now to include your close family and friends as you feel them around you. Notice if you're in flow and in harmony with Them. Feel that river of life as it flows through you and around you. And as it flows through and around everyone you know, as you did with yourself. Notice if that flow is graceful, or if it's restricted or forest. And with your friends and family and the closest people to you, where are you letting yourself flow? And where are you enforcing your will on others? Do they need to be a certain way for you to be happy? Are there things that others are not allowed to do? Feel how these restrictions block the natural flow of life and let them go. See those restrictions dissolving, being carried away in that river of life. And know that without any force, without any effort, your relationships can be graceful and happy. And let your awareness expand now to the greater community of people, people you see once a week or more, whether you know them closely or not. And feel that river of life flowing around you in this greater community. And notice how graceful are you in this community flow. Notice any places where you're judgmental about others, where you wish that they did things differently or that they did things your way. And let this restriction go. Smile and begin to admire all the variety around you. And notice how these very different styles all complement the natural flow. As you let go of your judgments and expectations and restrictions on others, invite them right now to do the same for themselves. Give everybody permission to be their authentic self, in their body, in their mind, in their emotions and their spirits. And know that just like you, everybody has a beautiful, graceful, natural flow. And let your awareness expand again to your entire country. Feel all the people, all the issues and concerns, and feel all the joy and happiness as well. And notice that river of life flowing through and around everyone in your country. Let that river of life begin to carry away any judgments, any frustrations, any restrictions that you have. And know that just like you, all these people have a beautiful, graceful, natural flow. Let your mind relax, let go of any need to understand. And as you let go of your judgments, your expectations, and your restrictions about others, give them all permission to do the same as well. Imagine your country now with permission to flow freely, everybody free from their ideas and expectations about themselves and others, everyone tapping into that natural river of life. Imagine everybody moving gracefully, flowing gracefully, and interacting with each other without effort or force. And notice where you are as well in this meditation, visualizing this beautiful flow. And become aware of all the other people. And in this meditation right now, feel them as points of light all around the planet, working with you to clear their own restrictions, to be in flow with themselves and their families and their countries. And feel that beautiful synergy between all of you right now. Giving the entire planet permission to flow gracefully with the river of life. Giving every person permission to be their authentic self in their body, in their mind, in their emotions and with their spirit. And feel that river of life flowing through and around every person on the planet. And notice one place right now where that flow is congested. Some crisis that's happening on the planet. And notice how that crisis is caused from that judgment and fear and pain and confusion. And let go of all those in you. If you have judgment about this crisis, let it go right now. Let that river of life carry it away from you. If you have fear about this crisis, let it go right now. Let that river of life carry away your fears. If you have pain around this crisis, let that pain go right now. Let the river of life carry it away from. And if you have some confusion around this crisis, let that confusion go right now. You don't need to understand to return to graceful fl. And as you release this judgment, fear, pain and confusion. Give everyone else permission to release a tune. Feel that river of life carrying away all that judgment, fear, pain and confusion. Carrying it away for everyone. And breathe. And notice now that brighter, more graceful flow. Imagine that crisis healing itself. Healing all the people involved and healing everyone on the planet. See that graceful river of life flowing through every species on the planet. Feel that river of life flowing through the water. Feel that river of life in all the plants, all the insects, everything that is on this earth. Notice how nature easily flows with grace and breathe. Notice how expanded and free you feel without shrinking your awareness. Return your attention to yourself. Be powerfully in your body and be aware of your posture in life. Are you graceful or forceful? Are you flowing or restricted? Because your posture in life is shapes your experience and influences everyone around you. For today, choose grace over force. Feel the river of life flowing around you and through you. Feel the river in your blood. Feel the wind in your breath. Feel the earth in your bones and feel the warming fire of your emotions. Feel humanity's dance in your mind. Let it be a beautiful dance. Feel yourself stepping gracefully with the music. Whether it's crescendo or calm. Choose grace and release force. Stop directing and start dancing. Breathe, smile, love, trust. Open your life. Open your eyes.
