In this deeply personal guided meditation, Bhavani traces the journey of a child full of light, love, and knowing, and what happened when that overflowing love met disapproval, distance, and silence. Through years of seeking validation, enduring rejection, and diminishing herself in search of belonging, she arrives at a discovery both simple and profound: the seat she had been offering to everyone else was always meant for her. As she takes her place on the golden throne in her own heart, something shifts for her, and for all of us who have ever believed we weren't there because someone couldn't see us. This meditation ends where every journey home does -- with an invitation to look into your own heart, find your own golden throne of love and light, and take your seat.Transcript For:Because You Couldn't See Meby Bhavani Prabha
Because you couldn’t see me, I thought I wasn’t there.
When I was a little girl, I could see things.I could feel things, I could feel what other people were feeling,I could hear their thoughts, finish their sentences.
This was received and met with disapproval mostly,a shocked face and then a gap, a distancing…as I felt them in retreatfrom me.
I knew that I was full of light and full of love,full of knowledge, truth, awareness, presence, exuberance.My love was overflowing, seeking to be met, to be received,to be appreciated and reciprocated, and I waseagerly awaiting the glorious exchange.
It seemed so natural, authentic, intrinsic, so true.This love seeking love, seeking expansion, growth,flowering, blooming. Togetherness.
Ahhhh the exquisiteness of one momentof my mother’s loving hug, laughing with my brother,or a smile from my father – and my heart would light uplike fireworks!
These moments were few and far between,but just enough to keep me seeking more.Just enough to know without a doubtit really did exist, this love, this pure,loving connection flowing like a mighty river.At least, I felt it.
But the moments got further and further apart,and the space got filled with rules and expectations, definitionsfor who I was supposed to be and become.
The expectations dangled with a promise of love rewarded,but apparently I was never good enough to receive.The rules kept changing, being redesigned arbitrarily,my enthusiasm waning with every rejection.
I thought it must just be my family!Ok – I’ll wait. I’ll grow up, get married, have children,have my own family and live happily ever after!
Ahhh the innocence of my sweet self!
Did you ever feel this way?
In every relationship I was seeking loveand finding love, beautiful love!
Again I was reaching out, longing to meet in the placeof always prioritizing love as the pinnacle of life.
But we didn’t know, us humans. We didn’t remember.We got lost.So lost.
We hurt each other.We didn’t really know how not to.
I spent a lifetime seeking to be loved,to have my love received, to honor that delicious flowingnectar of loving connection.
I tried to adhere to exalted paths in numerous contortionsof my being, and still experienced rejection, abandonment, loss,disappointment, betrayal, blame, and resentment.
I diminished myself until I almost disappeared,seeking nothingness as a spiritual path.
Until I realized that I somehow had absorbed and believed the ideathat I needed recognition, approval, acknowledgment, agreement,and some kind of verification, confirmation, and certificationfrom some external authority.
Or maybe I even believed that my ok-ness, much less my greatness,needed some kind of collective external consensus.Yet it was always vague and unclear howthat would actually happen.
Did you ever feel this way?
This wound in my heart,this excruciating pain in my heart,just kept getting deeper and deeper.
But then, I finally found that all that disappointment,grief and loss revealed an empty seatin the center of my heart.
A seat I had kept trying to give away.A seat on which I kept placing someone else:my father, my mother, my boyfriends, my teachers,my husband, my children, my grandchildren …
But all the external rejection and abandonment led me here,to the seat in my heart. To the throne in my heart,waiting to be filled by none other than me.
And I took my seat.
That was one of the hardest andmost courageous moves I ever made.
I sat on the throne in my own heart.
And I sit on my throne,my golden throne made of light and love.And I feel all the pain, and all the love.
It’s been quite the journey into the unknown,navigating my life from a completely fresh perspective.It’s been scary, afraid of being seen as selfish, uncaring, narcissistic.It’s an ongoing journey of feeling, inquiry, tears, and laughter!Very painful and absolutely exhilarating,and utterly profound.
And I found within me a pivotal and core assumptionthat had slipped in and made itself at home:
Because no one could really see me,I thought I wasn’t there.
Well, here I am!
Here I am.
And yes, because you couldn’t see me,I thought I wasn’t there.
Because you couldn’t love me,I thought I wasn’t loved or lovable.
Because you hurt me and belittled me,I thought I wasn’t good enough.
Because you diminished me, and judged mewith disapproval, I thought I was unworthy.
Because you lied about me, blamed me, rejectedand abandoned me, I crumpled.
But truly, because I placed my eyes on you, I led myself astray.Seeking love, approval, appreciation, respect,recognition, and worthiness, from all of you,so I could feel good about myself!
I crawled through that long, dark, dank tunnel –an unspeakable journey.
But at the end I found what I was looking for.
Myself.
Myself held in dignity and love.Myself, undeniably and unequivocally loved.Myself, bright, brilliant, adorable, beautiful, pure, innocent,and utterly good.
I’m no longer willing to deny, diminish, grovel, ordisappear myself.
My light is more brilliant than can be seen by any human eyes,my beauty is more profound and glorious,the love that I am is unequivocally pure and magnificent,and I am infinitely greater than even I can acknowledge.
And I am being and becoming more of all of this,which is myself, with every breath.
Right here, right now, here I am –peacefully, quietly, happily, and sometimes painfully,occupying the golden throne in my own heart.
And I invite you to look into your heart,and discover your own golden throne of love and light,pulsating with beauty.
And take your seat.

Ascension becomes an inward blossoming, revealing the infinite depths of your humanity and the love that lives within you.

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 everythingand 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 understandinghas 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 elsein 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 areand 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 servicehas 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 believethat what we need is outside of us.
What a fascinating challenge!What a captivating and exquisite challenge for the sovereignEternal Source Energy Beings that we truly are. 
Let us meet these insights with compassion and forgivenessfor 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 fromall that we have carefully and painstakingly accumulatedin 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 inand 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 youand what’s to the right of you, there’s a central point within you.Take a moment to feel the place where left and rightmeet 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 Earthas you feel yourselfin 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 youbetween 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 focusthat 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 ourselvesand 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 awarenessand experience of your own infiniteinner being, in the embrace of yourhuman experience and embodiment.
Ascension evolves through a feeling journey. Allowing yourself to feel all your emotions and experienceswith 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 connectionto Mother Earth.
Gather your focus into the undesignatedopenness of right now. 
And let yourself soften into the richness of new feelingsand new sensations in all parts of yourembodied human being.
Trust yourself. Let your mind serve you, not lead you.
Let your soul, your heart, and yourinfinite being take the lead.
And where are we going?
What are you truly longing for?
Feel the longing. Feel the power of your longingvibrating 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 trustin 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.

The meditation gently guides the listener to explore and distinguish different positive emotions—gratitude, appreciation, happiness, love, and joy—through curiosity, mindful breathing, and present-moment awareness. By consciously feeling each emotion in the body, the listener learns to notice their unique qualities, with special attention given to the subtle and often blended nature of joy. The meditation affirms that deepening awareness of these feelings enhances our experience of life and reminds us that we are eternal beings of infinite love, worthy of limitless joy.Transcript For:What Does Joy Feel Like?by Bhavani Prabha
Let’s be curious, like a little child.
What does joy really feel like?
For some of us, it’s easy to feel joy,and for some, it’s not.
For some of us, it’s easier to feelgratitude, appreciation, happiness, love, and peace,but not specifically to feel joy.
For others, joy is easily accessible,but not love or peace, and so on.
What is the difference between all of theseimportant, powerful, high-frequency feelings?
We know when we feel each one,we can feel the difference.
Let’s explore and investigate a little more together.
Take a few deep breaths,relaxing and letting go as you exhale.
Feel your bodyand settle into the present moment.
Bring to mind something you are grateful forand feel the feeling of gratitude.
Notice what gratitude feels like to you.
Bring to mind something that you appreciateand feel the feeling of appreciation.
Notice what appreciation feels like.
Bring to mind something that makes you feel happy, or makes you laugh,and feel the feeling of happiness.
And notice what happiness feels like to youright now.
Bring to mind someone you loveand feel the feeling of love.
Feel deeply into the presence of love within you.
Now bring to mind something that makes you feel joyful. Feel within you for joy.
Notice what joy feels like.Just joy.
Joy often slips in among many other feelings.
And of course, it’s wonderful to feelall of these together.
Keep being curious about all that you can feel.It’s a grand adventure.
Because as we become more familiarwith the unique vibration of each feeling,we enhance and elevate our entire experience of being alive.
Miraculous things happen within us,and we cultivate greater awarenessof ourselves as eternal beings of infinite love.
You are an eternal being of infinite loveand you deserve to feel overflowing limitless joy.
Open and allow yourself to discover for yourselfwhat a divine and exquisite journey it is to feelinto the vibrations of pure joy within you.
And discover what happens when you choose to feeljoy and gratitude,appreciation and happiness,peace and love, all together.
Wishing you much joy and happiness today and always,no matter what else is going on within you or around you.
Much Love!
