The Sacred Witness [Feeling Fully, Observing Clearly]

[Meditation Duration: 16 minutes]

Feeling fully without getting lost in the feeling is one of the most essential (and elusive) practices on the healing path. It means:

Holding your emotions fully—without being consumed by them.

Witnessing what arises—without turning away or numbing out.

We’ll call upon the Highest Self to support us in feeling the depth of destabilizing emotions without spiraling into them or shutting them down.

You’ll learn how to:

💠 Stay present with difficult emotions

💠 Create safe internal containers for feeling

💠 Move between feeling and witnessing

💠 Transform or release what’s ready to shift

_____________________________________________
Before you begin

  • Prepare your space and ensure you will not be disturbed.
  • Wear comfortable clothing.
  • Use an eye cover, if preferred.
  • Have a notebook/journal and pen ready.
  • Optional: Prepare a question for your journey. It could be anything you’re grappling with at the moment.
    • Note: It’s best not to ask a “When” question; in Non-ordinary Reality there is no “time” as we understand it.
    • Write your question in your notebook or journal.

After the meditation

  • Sit up slowly. Take a moment to return to Ordinary Reality.
  • Write whatever you remember from your journey into your notebook/journal. Use all the senses!
  • Consider how you might incorporate the offerings you received from the journey into your life, starting today.

Good luck, and blessings on your journey.
