Awaken Radiance
By Waller McInnes
Look within. There is a light within you that is waiting to shine at all times. No matter where you are in your life, you can connect with the Source of your light. Your inner radiance is there, constantly seeking expression and awaiting an invitation for you to allow it to shine. Left alone, this part of you will grow dark, dense and heavy with the energy from society-the messages from the media and the collective subconscious reminding you that you are not, will never be and cannot become the light that you are simply by being.
The world is designed to sell you more that you will ever need to be who you are. Radiance is your natural birthright and cannot be bought, sold, molded or taught. It is your essence, your beauty, that which you see and feel that you love. You have the permission to allow this to come through you and to follow the guidance that is leading you into full self-expression.
Brought to light, your radiance will lead you to a path with heart. Once you awaken this part of you, your life will never be the same. Your responsibility in this life is to connect with the source of that which brings you into the flow-the radiant light of your heart that is within you and all around you.
Start by noticing what you love. You can go within, and think of a time or place that brings a smile to your face and an uplifting sensation to your heart center. Notice the sensational experience of positive thinking. Rest there for a moment. Feel the heart center opening, safe and expansive, accepting what is there and inviting more light to come in and shine forth. This is your key to awakening to radiance. You can allow this feeling to guide you through your life. As long as you are able to breathe in and follow your inspiration, breathe out and away from your past-you awaken to a faithful journey of awakening to your radiance-the flow which is always available to you.
If you are not consciously connected to your radiance, you are always one breath away from accepting your light and shining it as never before in a whole new way. Your reflection will continue to brighten in the world as you keep coming back to this light within you. You may notice yourself attracting more positive energy-people will want what you have and those who formerly sucked you dry, will follow you along more effortlessly than before. As you move away from thinking there is something wrong with you, you invite your light to shine and others to come out and awaken their lights to shine.
Meditation for Radiance:
Come to a comfortable sitting position. Feel your tailbone slightly untuck and your sits bones blossoming. Allow yourself to go within for this next segment of time. Inhale, soften and receive the breath. Exhale, relax, release, let go. Inhale, draw the breath in through the nose, exhale, release it through the mouth with a "ha". Allow the attention to follow the breath for a minute or so. Bring the attention to the heart center. Feel the feelings of grtitude for your heart center, for all the energy that is there-allow it to open, unravel and expand-healing your energy and spreading down out and the fingertips-passing along the love that is within you, connecting your heart to all beings everywhere. Drop your attention down into the lower abdominals.
Feel soft and expansive in this area. Cultivate a vision-perhaps feel the qualities of an animal (i.e. a dolphin or bird that calls to you) or a place in nature (ie waterfall or ocean)-that embodies space and expansion for you. Rest there, calling on guides or images that connect you to the Source of Universal love that is within you and all around you. Rest here for a few minutes. Allow you radiance to awaken as you sit peacefully in the truth of your existence: you are a radiant being who is here to awaken and shine your light with the world.
