A Radical TransformationWe’ve all journeyed for a long time.
Let’s slow downand take a few deep breaths.
Breathing in to the heart spaceand breathing out,letting go and relaxing.
As you remain aware of the rhythm of your breath,shift to a higher perspective where you can reflecton how much you have truly evolved already.
You can really relax now.
It’s okay. It’s more than okay.
It’s essential.
You can discover and remember so much moreof yourself when you are relaxed and at peace.
Feel into your inner peace.
Let the gentle vibrations of peacepermeate your body and your whole being.
Part of this radical transformationis allowing ourselves to pause and relax.
We need to pause the momentum of our doing,our striving, and our planning,and let ourselves step back, breathe,and remember who we really are.
Feel your body.
Breathe into your heart spaceand relax into a quiet, peaceful,open state of being.
Feel how much you care.
Feel how much you careabout someone you love,or several someones,or about Mother Nature.
Feel how much you care about yourself.
And feel the vibrationof caring in your heart.
Be curious about what’s happening in your heart.
This caring you feel is an aspect of love.
Feel how caring comes from love.
Feel this love flowing through your heart.
Feel the love flowing through your heartand into your whole body.
Feel yourself breathing in pure loveand feel the love flow into your whole being.
Feel yourself being loved.
This love flows unceasinglyfrom an infinite source.
It infuses your whole being, loving you,just as you are, loving yourself unconditionally.
If you notice any impediments,just let them be there.
If you notice any resistance, just let it be there too,offering compassion to yourself.
And feel the relief of letting go.
Feel into your caring heart and love yourself.
Bring in kindness, compassion, and forgiveness.
Love yourself with gentleness and great joy.
No matter how much pain and suffering you have ever feltor even may be feeling now, love yourself unconditionally.
Be willing to keep feeling.
That is the most radical transformation there is.
You are an eternal being of infinite love,and no matter how far away from Sourceyou have ever believed yourself to be,nothing can change the truth of who you are.
Keep being curious about what you feelas you allow yourself to love yourselfwith unconditional love.
You can repurpose your striving and your planningto be aware of every momentwhen you feel and remember this truth:that you are an eternal being of pure, infinite loveand effervescent, radiant light.
Every breath is an opportunity to pause,breathe into your heart space,and relax.
So you can remind yourselfthat you are a being of love and light,over and over again.
And love yourself!

Because You Couldn't See Me - Guided Meditation

by Bhavani Lev and Kristin Hoffmann 🎵In this guided meditation, Bhavani poetically reflects on a childhood of deep sensitivity and love that was often met with disapproval, leading her to believe she was unseen, unworthy, and dependent on others for validation. After a lifetime of seeking love externally and experiencing repeated rejection and pain, she realizes that the love and worth she longed for must come from within. By reclaiming her place at the center of her own heart, she embraces her inherent value and invites others to do the same.
Because You Couldn’t See Me
Because you couldn’t see me, I thought I wasn’t there.
When I was a little girl, I could see things.I could feel things, I could feel what other people were feeling,I could hear their thoughts, finish their sentences.
That was received and met with disapproval mostly,a shocked face and then a gap, a distancing…as I felt them in retreatfrom me.
I knew that I was full of light and full of love,full of knowledge, truth, awareness, presence, exuberance.My love was overflowing, seeking to be met, to be received,to be appreciated and reciprocated, and I waseagerly awaiting the glorious exchange.
It seemed so natural, authentic, intrinsic, so true.This love seeking love, seeking expansion, growth,flowering, blooming. Togetherness.
Ahhhh the exquisiteness of one momentof my mother’s loving hug, laughing with my brother,or a smile from my father – and my heart would light uplike fireworks!
These moments were few and far between,but just enough to keep me seeking more. Just enoughto know without a doubt it really did exist, this love,this pure, loving connection flowing like a mighty river.At least, I felt it.
But the moments got further and further apart,and the space got filled with rules and expectations, definitionsfor who I was supposed to be and become.
The expectations dangled with a promise of love rewarded,but apparently I was never good enough to receive.The rules kept changing, being redesigned arbitrarily,my enthusiasm waning with every rejection.
I thought it must just be my family!Ok – I’ll wait. I’ll grow up, get married, have children,have my own family and live happily ever after!
Ahhh the innocence of my sweet self!
Did you ever feel this way?
In every relationship I was seeking loveand finding love, beautiful love!
Again I was reaching out, longing to meet in the placeof always prioritizing love as the pinnacle of life.
But we didn’t know, us humans. We didn’t remember.We got lost.So lost.
We hurt each other.We didn’t really know how not to.
I spent a lifetime seeking to be loved,to have my love received, to honor that delicious flowingnectar of loving connection.
I tried to adhere to exalted paths in numerous contortionsof my being, and still experienced rejection, abandonment, loss,disappointment, betrayal, blame and resentment.
I diminished myself until I almost disappeared,seeking nothingness as a spiritual path.
Until I realized that I somehow had absorbed and believed the ideathat I needed recognition, approval, acknowledgment, agreement,and some kind of verification, confirmation, and certificationfrom some external authority.
Or maybe I even believed that my ok-ness, much less my greatness,needed some kind of collective external consensus.Yet it was always vague and unclear howthat would actually happen.
Did you ever feel this way?
This wound in my heart,this excruciating pain in my heart,just kept getting deeper and deeper.
But then, I finally found that all that disappointment,grief and loss revealed an empty seatin the center of my heart.
A seat I had kept trying to give away.A seat on which I kept placing someone else:my father, my mother, my boyfriends, my teachers,my husband, my children, my grandchildren …
But all the external rejection and abandonment led me here,to the seat in my heart. To the throne in my heart,waiting to be filled by none other than me.
And I took my seat.
That was one of the hardest and most courageous moves I ever made.
I sat on the throne in my own heart.
And I sit on my throne,my golden throne made of light and love.And I feel all the pain, and all the love.
It’s been quite the journey into the unknown,navigating my life from a completely fresh perspective.It’s been scary, afraid of being seen as selfish, uncaring, narcissistic.It’s an ongoing journey of feeling, inquiry, tears and laughter!Very painful and absolutely exhilarating,and utterly profound.
And I found within me a pivotal and core assumptionthat had slipped in and made itself at home:
Because no one could really see me, I thought I wasn’t there.
Well, here I am!
Here I am.
And yes, because you couldn’t see me,I thought I wasn’t there.
Because you couldn’t love me,I thought I wasn’t loved or lovable.
Because you hurt me and belittled me,I thought I wasn’t good enough.
Because you diminished me, and judged mewith disapproval, I thought I was unworthy.
Because you lied about me, blamed me, rejectedand abandoned me, I crumpled.
But truly, because I placed my eyes on you, I led myself astray.Seeking love, approval, appreciation, respect,recognition, and worthiness, from all of you,so I could feel good about myself!
I crawled through that long, dark, dank tunnel –an unspeakable journey.
But at the end I found what I was looking for.
Myself.
Myself held in dignity and love.Myself, undeniably and unequivocally loved.Myself, bright, brilliant, adorable, beautiful, pure, innocent,and utterly good.
I’m no longer willing to deny, diminish, grovel, ordisappear myself.
My light is more brilliant than can be seen by any human eyes,my beauty is more profound and glorious,the love that I am is unequivocally pure and magnificent,and I am infinitely greater than even I can acknowledge.And I am being and becoming more of all of this,which is myself, with every breath.
Right here, right now, here I am –peacefully, quietly, happily, and sometimes painfully,occupying the golden throne in my own heart.
And I invite you to look into your heart,and discover your own golden throne of love and light,pulsating with beauty.
And take your seat.

Getting Positively Triggered - Guided Meditation

by Bhavani Lev and Kristin Hoffmann 🎵This guided meditation reframes being “triggered” as an opportunity for positive transformation, guiding the listener to breathe, relax, and consciously allow uplifting experiences—like appreciation, love, gratitude, and joy—to trigger positive emotional states. It encourages using even difficult emotional triggers as gateways to compassion, forgiveness, and deeper self-understanding, highlighting vulnerability as a path to growth. Ultimately, it invites a shift in perspective that awakens inner peace, love, and a greater sense of connection.
Getting Positively Triggered
We all get triggered.
You know how that feels.And you probably don’t like it.
Feel your bodyand settle into this moment.
Take three focused breaths.Inhale and expand your chest.Exhale and relax your shoulders.
Inhale and expand your chest.Exhale with a big sighand relax your shoulders.
Inhale again,expand your chest,pause for a moment.
Exhale with a big sigh,let go,and relax.
And keep some of your awarenesson your breathing during this guided inquiry.
We usually think of getting triggeredin a negative way.
But as we are evolving,we can expand our perspective.
We can let ourselves be triggeredby positive, uplifting circumstances.
Focusing on your inner resourcescan positively trigger you.
Imagine someone saying, “I really appreciate you.”Or say to yourself, “I really appreciate you.”
And let yourself be triggeredinto a deep experienceof feeling appreciated.
When someone says to you, “I love you,”let yourself be triggeredinto an exquisite experienceof feeling loved.
Let nature’s beautytrigger you into beauty.
Think of things you are genuinely grateful forand let yourself be triggeredinto the powerfully transformative frequencyof gratitude.
Imagine happy,funny,adorable,laughing little childrenand let yourself be triggeredinto joy.
We can repurpose everything with our perception.
Let yourself be triggered right nowby the very best feelingsyou can possibly imagine having.
And have them.
Feel your body.Feel your energy fieldand feel the energies in your heart.
What is happening?What do you notice?What are you feeling?
Just let go and let these frequencies vibrate you.
From here, you have the awarenessto know that when you get triggered in a painful way,you’re just trying to inform yourself.
It’s an opportunity to feel moreand know more about yourself.
Getting triggered in an upsetting wayalso gives you an opportunityto bring compassion to yourself,forgiveness, understanding, gentleness, and hope.
It opens us up to feeling vulnerable,exposed, and even humbled.
How beautiful is that?
And for every mistake you believe you have made,bring more compassion to yourself.
Let each breath comfort you and center you.
Remain curious, grounded, and connectedto Mother Earth.
What does feeling vulnerable,exposed, and humbled offer you in a positive way?
Only you can know this for yourself.
Bring more compassion to yourself,forgiveness, understanding, gentleness,and appreciation right now.
Every emotion has its own frequency.Every emotion is here for usto explore ourselves more fullyand discover the truth of who we really are.
As you bring this higher perspective to yourself,it will naturally shift your perspectivein countless other ways.
Curiously explore your abilityto change and repurpose your perspective,especially around getting triggered.
And you will discover your powerto further awaken, transform, and evolve.
You will continue to experienceyour eternal being oflimitless peace, radiant light,and unconditional love that you truly are.
And your life, and the world,will shift with you.

The Heart Of Desire - Guided Meditation

by Bhavani Lev and Kristin Hoffmann 🎵This guided meditation invites gentle awareness of desire by feeling longing directly in the body and heart, without analysis, allowing breath and presence to soften and deepen the experience. It suggests that our deepest longings—such as to be loved, seen, and at peace—vibrate at the same frequency as what we seek, revealing an inner wholeness already available. By resting in this quiet presence, desire becomes a guide back to our true nature of love, light, and infinite being.
The Heart Of Desire
Take a few deep breathsand settle into this present moment.
Let the word desire drop into your mind.Say it a few times to yourself.
Notice what you are feeling.
Bring curiosity and innocence to this inquiry.
And use your breath to calmand comfort yourself as needed.
We all know the feeling of wanting something,what it feels like to want something.
Think of something you want.Something you really deeply want.
Focus on the feeling of wanting,of longing, of desire.
Notice where you feel this in your body.
And there are things we want to feel by fulfillingour desires, by getting what we want.
What is it you want to feel as a resultof fulfilling what you desire?
Bring openness and wonder to this inquiry.
Stay present in your heart,feel your body, and breathe a bit more fully.Be consciously aware of all you are feeling.
Maybe you can notice long-held desires in the depths of your heart.
Desires to be seen, to be appreciated,to be loved, cherished, and trusted.
Maybe desires for meaning, purpose, truth.Maybe desires for inner peace, youthfulness, forgiveness.
So many things you might find there.
Feel the wanting, the deep longingin your heart.And bypass any thinking.
Breathe into the feeling of longing,and with each exhalation let gointo more quietness.
Be aware of the sensations of longing vibrating in the depths of your heart.
And feel the longing vibrate at the very frequencyof what you long for.
The longing and what you long for –
They reveal each other,they dance together with joy and excitementwithin you.
You can have and experience it all right now.
Feel yourself breathing.Softly opening your heart a little morein wonder and trust.
Reach deep into your longing.It might feel like an ancient yearning.
Let your longing take you deeper into the heartof your deepest desires.
And feel them met there with the resourcesof your infinite being.
In the quietness within you,you can have everything you’ve ever longed for.
Being present in this moment – 
Who knew that our desires could be such a treasure?
We are discovering so much about ourselves!
Let your deepest longings lead the wayand guide your journey home –
to your truth –
your infinite being –
of love and light –
Your Glorious Self.

Shimmering With Light
Take a deep breath,Feel your bodyAnd just notice whatever you are feeling,with curiosity and kindness to yourself.It’s all ok.Whatever you are feeling, it’s all ok.And it’s always changing.
We all want to be happier and to feel good.
We all want more light and less darkness in our world,in our lives, and in ourselves.
We are beings of light,of infinite light and pure, unconditional love.
Take a few moments to feel that light and lovein your heart.
Feel how much you care.
Feel your longing for more love.
You have so much love to give.
You have so much light to shine.
And both are growing stronger and brighter all the time.
Your own suffering has given you great compassion.
Like little children, human beings are inherentlyhappy, curious, and adorable.
Think of someone you love, which can be a person,an animal, a pet, a tree, a place in nature;
feel the love filling your heart.Feel the light that is there too, within you.
With each breath, feel yourself filling with light.Every cell and particle of your body, sparklingand shimmering with light.
When the light comes, where does the darkness go?
It is simply gone.
Take another deep breath,Feel your body,And keep filling with light, breathingand shining your light, brighter and brighter.
You can always bring more light into yourself.Stay plugged into Source, as a priority.And feel the difference.
Breathe the infinite light of Sourceinto your whole being.
Redirect your focus from what’s wrong to what’s going right.To what’s working in your life.To what you’re grateful for.To the many blessings.To the love and care you feel.
You wouldn’t be upset about all that’s wrong if you didn’t care.
Feel how much you care!
We’ve all become a little fascinated and even obsessedwith what’s wrong. It’s time to change our focus.It’s time to be vigilant about what we give our energy and our attention to,because we energize and amplify what we focus on.
And it’s time to have more fun!How filled with light we become when we laughand do things we really enjoy, like little happy children.
Focus on what you want the world to be, by being that yourself.
LovingKindForgivingPatientGentleFunnyStrongEmpoweredClear
And unwavering in your commitment to honor yourself.
Lovingly speak your truth,even when you’re triggered and upset.Especially when you’re triggered and upset,once you’ve calmed down a bit.
Lovingly communicate the truth of you, what you feeland what you truly long for.
What beautiful examples we becomeof self- empowered human beings.
Every moment and each breath is an opportunityto shine more light in your heart.For yourself, for others, and for the world.
Shine your light, and see what happens.
