105. Desire Prayer Meditation

Speaker: 00:00:12

Wherever you are.

2

: 00:00:16

Whatever you're doing,

3

: 00:00:21

whether in stillness or motion,

4

: 00:00:27

take a moment here and feel

into your physical body.

5

: 00:01:01

Notice your breath.

6

: 00:01:09

Notice any place you

may be holding tension

7

: 00:01:14

in your shoulders, in your jaw.

8

: 00:01:28

Open yourself to a willingness

to feel into your body.

9

: 00:01:35

Invite your attention into your body.

10

: 00:01:53

feel,

11

: 00:01:59

connect.

12

: 00:02:13

Beneath the steady rhythm of breathing

13

: 00:02:20

There you may find a quiet stirring,

14

: 00:02:26

a small persistent niggle.

15

: 00:02:35

Not loud enough to interrupt your day yet.

16

: 00:02:40

Never entirely absent.

17

: 00:02:49

It might feel like a space

inside or like waiting.

18

: 00:02:56

You are not alone in this feeling.

19

: 00:03:00

Everyone knows it.

20

: 00:03:20

When found, when recognized.

21

: 00:03:25

It begins to take on a different quality.

22

: 00:03:33

What first seemed like emptiness

begins to feel more like hunger,

23

: 00:03:45

Allow it to shift and grow inside you.

24

: 00:03:58

Let your whole being be filled

with hunger, longing, desire.

25

: 00:04:19

Stay with it.

26

: 00:04:31

Hold it gently.

27

: 00:04:48

Let the longing stretch,

28

: 00:04:55

let it breathe,

29

: 00:05:01

and now.

30

: 00:05:04

Almost like a whisper

carried on a warm breeze.

31

: 00:05:08

Hear the words, knowing they are for you.

32

: 00:05:14

The bridegroom is calling

33

: 00:05:19

a rise, my love, my

beautiful one, and come away.

34

: 00:05:25

I have so many lovely things to show you,

so many remarkable things to teach you.

35

: 00:05:35

So many delightful things

to experience with you.

36

: 00:05:51

Sit with these words in your heart.

37

: 00:06:20

Hold on to them,

38

: 00:06:25

cherish them.

39

: 00:06:30

. Revel in the feeling of love.

40

: 00:07:06

Breathe slowly.

41

: 00:07:08

And enjoy the sensation in your body.

42

: 00:07:51

Later when the hunger, the logging,

the desire return, don't stuff it away.

43

: 00:08:04

Don't hide it where you

don't have to feel it.

44

: 00:08:08

Remember,

45

: 00:08:11

this is how you were meant to want him.

46

: 00:08:17

Not casually, not superficially,

but deeply, instinctively, honestly.

47

: 00:08:35

You need him.

48

: 00:08:42

And as you allow that need,

your heart can soften.

49

: 00:08:49

Your desire can become less about

longing and more about relationship.

50

: 00:08:57

. And with time it will deepen.

51

: 00:09:01

With practice, it will grow.

52

: 00:09:05

With intention, these words

will be etched in your heart.

53

: 00:09:12

Arise my love, my beautiful

one, and come away.
