Oprah’s Meditation
ByOprah Winfrey:
“I’d like to turn down the lights.
Close your eyes. Take a deep breath.
I do this meditation in my tub. Sometimes at Harpo. Sometimes sitting in my living room.
As you close your eyes, take three deep breaths, and on the third, follow your breath as you inhale and exhale.
Follow your breath. Follow your breath…
Oh God, my heart is open to you.
Come sit in my heart.
If you’re not comfortable with the word God, it doesn’t matter.
Oh, glorious future, my heart is open to you…
All that is divine, my heart is open to you…
All that is love, peace, comfort, grace, joy. My heart is open to you.
Come sit in my heart.
Please know that on this day, you can begin to move forward in your life in a grander, bolder direction. The universe is waiting, willing, joyfully, gloriously, to support you.
All that is love, my heart is open to you.
Come sit in my heart.
The universe is not interested in your struggles and your pain and your sorrow. It wants you to be joyful. We often struggle because we choose to swim upstream.
All that is God, my heart is open to you.
My heart is open to find the flow,
the flow, the flow, the flow that is my life.
I am willing to surrender to the flow that is my life.
Oh, glorious future.
My heart is open to you.
Come sit in my heart.
Oh, glorious future. I surrender my life
to be used to the purpose that is my
soul’s calling.
How will you use me? How can I be used?
Use me.
Use my talents.
Use my wit.
Use my skill.
Use my heart.
Use me.
How can I be used to serve the greater calling that is my life?
That is the question.
I surrender to that.
I surrender to that.
I leave this place grateful for the life that I have created now.
I am so grateful for, I am so grateful for, I am so grateful for my life.
I am so grateful for the possibilities.
I am so grateful for the possibilities of my life.
I open my heart to you.
Slowly open your eyes. And know this: I am so grateful for you. Thank you.”
