Interconnectedness and Wholeness Meditation
A contemplation and meditation in our innate interconnectedness with all life and with awareness itself.
So just beginning to settle in and get comfortable for this meditation. And as you begin to settle in, if it feels right for you, just allowing the eyes to close. And as a support to arriving and settling here a little more fully, Just taking three deep, slow, full breaths now. So breathing in, really filling the lungs with air on the inhale. And breathing out and with each exhale, seeing if you can get a sense of allowing any tension or tightness to soften a little bit and let go.
So just taking two more breaths like that in your own time now. And at the end of this next exhale, just letting go of any control of the breathing. But continuing to follow the feeling and the flow of the breath in your body. Just attending to it as the breath moves in its own natural way. And feeling this rhythm, this cycle of the breath moving in your body.
So this rhythm that you're experiencing, that you're witnessing in your own body is also intrinsic to all life. From the beating of the tiniest bacteria, to the beating of your heart, to this cycles of photosynthesis and respiration in all plant life, to the rhythms of waking and sleeping that all bodies share. And these rhythms of the living world are embedded within larger and larger rhythms of the cycle of the planet, the ebb and flow of the tides, the cycles of night and day and the seasons. From the moment that we are born to the moment that we die, we are entwined with the rhythms of life. And all of this is just happening of its own accord, unfolding effortlessly moment by moment, in its own time, in its own way.
And every conscious breath that we take as we observe this rhythm, they can be a reminder of our inherent interconnectedness to all life. So just continuing to feel the flow of that rhythm in the body for a few more moments here. And as this practice begins to draw to a close, taking a deeper breath in now. Deep, slow breath in. And as you breathe out, beginning to wriggle fingers and toes.
And notice how your mind and body are feeling after this short meditation. And opening the eyes. And as you go about the rest of your day, just remember that the breath is always with you. So you can always tune into it as a way of returning to the present moment and a sense of belonging, interconnection, and wholeness. Wishing you a great day.

Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.
- Vicoir
The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.
