Getting There - Being Here - Guided Meditation

by Bhavani Lev and Kristin Hoffmann 🎵

This guided meditation reflects on concepts like ascension and conscious evolution, emphasizing that true growth comes from turning inward rather than relying on external authorities or purely intellectual understanding. It guides the listener through grounding practices that center awareness in the present moment, encouraging self-trust, emotional openness, and connection to the body. Ultimately, the message frames ascension as an inner journey of conscious presence, self-love, and feeling into one’s own deeper being.

Getting There ~ Being Here

We’ve all heard a lot about ascension and conscious evolution.

Where are we going? What is ascension?
What is conscious evolution? What is consciousness?

Hmm … it’s good to keep wondering and discovering what’s true for you.

We’ve all been taught to think about everything
and to try to figure it all out from a mental, intellectual perspective.
We want to understand everything we possibly can.
And all that learning, intellectualizing and understanding
has gotten us to where we are,
which is different for everyone.

Because we are all in the center of our own world and universe.
No one else’s life is exactly like yours.
You are the central character in your universe.

I – You – We see everything through our own unique personal experiences,
our own beliefs and perspectives,
our own education, conditioning, assumptions and understanding.
That’s how we each experience our world.

We’ve also been trained to usually put someone or something else
in the center of our lives and even of ourselves –
maybe religious teachings, spiritual teachings,
political ideologies, all kinds of beliefs and rules of behavior – 
as we try so hard to figure out who we truly are
and what’s the meaning of our lives and how can we get it right.

Our natural inner call to give, love, care, and be of service
has often been hijacked and distorted to exclude ourselves,
and to believe we need to earn love, approval, recognition,
and even our very right to exist from an external source of authority.

We live in a paradigm reality where we mostly believe
that what we need is outside of us.

What a fascinating challenge!
What a captivating and exquisite challenge for the sovereign
Eternal Source Energy Beings that we truly are. 

Let us meet these insights with compassion and forgiveness
for ourselves and for others.

Let’s move forward with no blame.

As Native American grandmother Agnes Pilgrim said, “We’re all in this leaky canoe together.” 

Right now is a good time to pause, to take a break from
all that we have carefully and painstakingly accumulated
in our voluminous mental filing cabinets.

Take in a deep breath and expand your chest, 
and relax as you exhale.

Take a few deep focused breaths.
Expand your chest as you breathe in
and relax your shoulders as you breathe out.
Three times.

Take a moment to reset and settle into this present moment.

Feel yourself in the center of your being,
and breathe into the center of you.

And from this place, notice that between what’s to the left of you
and what’s to the right of you, there’s a central point within you.
Take a moment to feel the place where left and right
meet within you.

Feel into that neutral central point.

And between what’s in front of you and what’s behind you,
there’s a central place where they meet within you.

Notice what this feels like. 
And whatever it feels like, it’s all okay.

Feeling here into the center of you,
keep breathing, feel your body,
and feel yourself grounded to Mother Earth
as you feel yourself
in the very center of your being.

Between the past and the future,
there’s a neutral point within us.

Feel into the central neutral space within you
between the past and the future, here, right now.

Feel into right now.

Keep noticing your breath.
Breathing is always right now.

Feel your body.
Feeling your body is always right now.

Staying present means to keep your focus here.
Right now is always here.

It’s only our thoughts, our attention, and our focus
that travel all over the place.

Feel your body.
Breathe into the center of your being.

And it’s here within us, within you,
that we find our consciousness, our center, our self.

It’s here where we consciously experience ourselves
and the love that we are.

And it is our consciousness that is evolving.
Your conscious awareness of yourself.
Ascension begins and continues,
as an inner journey.

An ever deepening journey into the awareness
and experience of your own infinite
inner being, in the embrace of your
human experience and embodiment.

Ascension evolves through a feeling journey. 
Allowing yourself to feel all your emotions and experiences
with curiosity and kindness to yourself.

Feel into yourself, you, you in the very center.
Feel your awareness.
Engage your breath.
Feel your body and your connection
to Mother Earth.

Gather your focus into the undesignated
openness of right now. 

And let yourself soften into the richness of new feelings
and new sensations in all parts of your
embodied human being.

Trust yourself. Let your mind serve you, not lead you.

Let your soul, your heart, and your
infinite being take the lead.

And where are we going?

What are you truly longing for?

Feel the longing. Feel the power of your longing
vibrating in your body, heart, and soul. 

And see what you discover right here,
in through the only moment there is, right now.

With patience in your heart, trusting the openness,
trusting the love that you are. 

Trusting what reveals in you and through you.

And consciously hosting this patience, this trust
in the love that you are, anchored in being present.

Feel yourself embodied, grounded, powerful, and alive.

Notice your breath moving in and out, like waves upon the shore,
back and forth, back and forth, back and forth,
taking you deeper and deeper into your beautiful, fathomless self.

Just being here.
