I Am Not My Body Meditation Audio

• The ego identifies totally with the body, and this is where fear comes from. The ego believes death is real and that threats to life are all around us. Remembering that we are not, in essence, our body, offers us freedom from much fear. This is not to be seen as a degrading or dismissing of the body. The body is to be revered for its many gifts and blessings. We chose to take on a body to explore this beautiful world. We must merely remember that we are far, far more than the body. This is also not be interpreted as "a truly spiritual person never has fear." Fear is a part of life. But some kinds of fear hinder our spiritual growth, and that is what this meditation focusses on.

I AM Prayer Audio

• “I Am” is the core utterance of Spirit, of life itself. Toltec shaman Don Miguel Ruiz says there is only one living being in the universe – life itself. The life force takes an infinite number of shapes, and life’s only goal is “be,” in all these forms. Spirit is always exploring and experiencing, including becoming you. In the Hebrew Scriptures (“Old Testament”) Moses asks God “Who shall I say has sent me?” God answers, “I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.” (Exodus 3:14). This meditation helps remind us that everything is Spirit, including us. This simple phrase is loaded with radical power, especially for anyone born in the western world, which has injected into you since birth that you are NOT Spirit – that Spirit is separate from you.
