The OM Collective: Find Your Calm Claire Charters @ The OM Collective

Welcome to day 13 of 21 days with Rumi. 
Rumi talks a lot about love. The love that Rumi talks about is unconditional. 
We live in a world that does not promote healthy templates of love. Love in our world is rarely unconditional. Yet practising unconditional love is the most remarkable healing tool for self-healing, self-transformation and healing the world around us.
The truth is, we can not give unconditional love until we are whole and unconditionally loving ourselves. It must start inwards. But what does that indeed mean? What does that look like?  That is what today is about.
The truth is, I could easily release 21 days of unconditional love. However, I am going to do my best to break it down into 4- 5 episodes. Over the next few days, we will cover all aspects of unconditional love and how it shows up in interactions with self, family, friends, romantic relationships, and nature.
In a world that often emphasizes external validation and approval, it's easy to forget the importance of cultivating a deep sense of unconditional love and wholeness within ourselves. Today's episode is dedicated to the journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and embracing the beauty of our being.
This recording can be an affirming meditation or a soothing, unwinding ritual before sleep.
Amongst the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's crucial to prioritise and carve out time to nurture ourselves, recharge our spirit, and reconnect with our true essence.
So, if you are ready to reconnect to a state of wholeness, I look forward to you joining me for today's practice.  A practice that will hopefully inspire you to rewild yourself. Let your radiance rise. Illuminate your soul. And become a beacon of light and unconditional love.

Welcome to tonight’s sleep story, a dreamy realm of simple luxuries, everyday magic, and the beauty of living in connection with Mother Nature and her seasons. 
As the ink-black velvet sky gently hushes you into quietness, inviting you to fall into a state of dreamy sleep and restoration, where together we will embark on a magical journey with a woman named Lilly who makes it her daily devotion to savour the simple luxuries that surround her. 
Rumi once wrote, "The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are."
In this enchanting tale, we journey inward, guided by the timeless wisdom of Rumi's words. How we perceive ourselves and our surroundings is shaped by the lens of our hearts. As we transition from the bustling realm of the mind to the tranquil sanctuary of the heart, we uncover the true magic that resides within us. Here, in the depths of our being, we find the essence of contentment and fulfilment.
Tonight, as we weave through the tapestry of dreams, let us embrace the ordinary moments that sparkle with extraordinary beauty. From the sun's warmth to the soothing aroma of freshly brewed tea, every sensation becomes a treasure to cherish. 
Within the night's quietude, amongst the whispers of the evening wind, let us discover the profound joy of savouring life's simple pleasures together.Join me on this journey of mindful exploration, where we honour the sacred art of living well. With each breath, we will immerse ourselves in the richness of the present moment, finding beauty and wonder in the everyday. So, dear dreamer, as you drift into sleep, let your heart be your guide, and may you awaken to the magic within you.
Begin by setting up your bedroom as a cosy retreat. You may like to turn on a salt lamp, open a window, or burn incense. Turn off all your devices and snuggle deep down into your bed.

Welcome to day 11 of our enchanting journey through 21 days with Rumi. Today, we embark on a soulful exploration inspired by the timeless wisdom of Rumi's verses. In this practice, we will listen to a selection of his profound words to calm the mind and cultivate a more peaceful state of being.
These verses from Rumi are a gift of the highest kind to humanity. One year ago, I was gifted the Rumi Oracle, and since then, this beautiful deck of cards has been by my side each day and has brought me joy and transformation in magical ways. Rumi’s sacred language has lovingly and soulfully guided me, and I feel delighted and honoured to share his wisdom and words with you. 
Let us immerse ourselves in the profound teachings of this revered poet and mystic in the quiet sanctuary of our hearts. Rumi's words resonate deeply, illuminating the path to inner peace, love, and spiritual awakening. As we delve into the depths of his poetry, I invite you to open your heart and mind, allowing his words to permeate, move, and stir you.

Rumi wrote, “The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are.”
How we feel about ourselves, our life and our world depends on how we look at it all from within. Stepping out of the mind and into the heart, stepping out of doing and into being, stepping out of striving and into arriving – that is when the true magic of the universe comes alive within our entire being. Living a life with mindful intention, where we make our daily devotion all about embracing the simple, ordinary, and everyday moments and things, is the space where we become everything we have ever wanted to be.
Embracing the everyday ordinary is a celebration of your senses while falling passionately in love with life despite all its complexities, compromises, and contradictions. It is about finding beauty and awe in life, recipes, nature, chores, rituals, decorating, people, experiences, stillness, and simplicity. 
Welcome to today's meditation journey, where we continue our enchanting exploration through 21 days of magic, wisdom, and unconditional love with Rumi. As we enter day ten, let us dive deeper into the essence of our being and connect more deeply to the universe that lives inside our hearts. 
Today's meditation invites us to delve deeper into the art of being by intentionally seeking beauty and magic in all we do: feel, listen, touch, smell, and see.  A gentle reminder that true contentment is found when we intentionally seek it in all the little things that make up our day. Finding enjoyment in the everyday chores, seeing beauty in familiar places and seeking the extraordinary in the ordinary is the sacred art of living a well-lived life.

In Persia, ink-black nights are lit by stars, antique street lamps, and the flicker of age-old fairy tales that bestow mystery, magic, and adventure. It is an ancient, sacred, and exotic place—a mix of rare and mystical, like the fragrance in the air of Jasmine, rose, and oud, which transports you there.
Ancient Persia is a land that evokes self-surrender as lanterns adorned with shimmering jewels illuminate the cobblestone pathways, casting a soft glow upon the majestic palaces and bustling marketplaces.
Under the mystical cloak of a Persian night, where the moon hangs like a silver lantern in the velvet sky, tales of enchantment weave through the air like wisps of fragrant incense. Secrets of the magical Genie are whispered on the breeze, promising wonders beyond imagination. In these bewitching hours, when the stars wink knowingly and the jasmine-scented air hums with anticipation, magic carpet rides become a reality, carrying intrepid souls on journeys through time, space and enchanting realms.
With genies as guides, their laughter echoing in the star-strewn heavens, adventurers are swept into realms of dreams and destiny, where every wish is a shimmering jewel awaiting discovery.
The air is perfumed with exotic spices and blooming roses, weaving a tapestry of fragrance that dances on the breeze. Tall minarets rise like slender towers towards the heavens, adorned with intricate carvings and shimmering mosaics that catch the setting sun's light.
Cobblestone streets wind through bustling bazaars, where merchants peddle their wares amidst a kaleidoscope of colours and sounds. Ornate palaces with domed rooftops and arched doorways stand as silent sentinels of a bygone era, their walls adorned with intricate arabesques and delicate tilework that glimmer in the soft glow of lantern light.
And amidst it all, the call to prayer echoes through the evening air, an angelic melody that speaks of centuries of faith and devotion.
Persia is a land of timeless beauty and ancient magic, where every corner holds a story waiting to be told.
