And at the top of the breath,
Just pause for a moment,
And then let go when you're ready.
And the main thing,
Of course,
As always,
Relax the body fully,
And breath is a beautiful way to bring that surge of energy in with your breath.
Then as you let it go,
Feel the body responding,
Following your breath,
And just let it come back into a place of stillness and deep relaxation.
And let your breath land where it will.
And in this space where not engaging the mind,
Any thoughts that will appear,
Imagine them just as small waves arising on the surface of the ocean to quietly recede back into the main body of the ocean's stillness,
Or as passing clouds in the sky.
We're not arriving in this space,
We're simply consciously recognizing that which is the present presence of one's pure awareness,
Which is behind all perceiving and experiences,
One's unborn presence of being,
Just be here in the now.
There are no outcomes that you are seeking,
You're not desiring anything,
You're just here,
There's no coming and going,
There's no right or wrong.
And your spacious presence is all-inclusive and all-embracing.
There is no sense of a me,
This infinite field,
There is no identity,
There's no structure,
All simply is.
And that presence of is-ness is unique for you,
The formless one,
The unborn one.
In this eternal freedom,
Nothing actually exists,
There is no cause or effect,
There are no outcomes,
There are no successes or failures,
All simply is.
Any time there's some attempt at structure or a deeper understanding,
Anything that is created as a thought slides away,
For there's nothing for it to purchase to or purchase on or relate to,
Nothing of the physical mind is present in this space,
Nothing can be related to,
Nothing can be compared,
We are fully open and free,
Nothing to protect,
The truth of oneself is in this stillness,
You are simply here,
But here is not a location,
There is no state of being,
There is simply being,
Nothing can be defined,
Nothing can be measured,
Because there is no thing present,
Our surrender to this openness,
And our faith in this stillness,
Don't be looking for something in this space,
Because that would require thought,
The mind is not present here,
And everything that might appear in the way of a thought or an image is simply a temporary appearance within one's infinite awareness,
All is perfect,
One's awareness is not defined by or contained by a physical body or the form,
The human form,
The human form is an appearance within imperturbable awareness,
Time does not exist here,
And without a thought,
Without the presence of thinking,
Nothing exists,
All is still and calm,
Open,
Boundless,
This is our true freedom,
Any thoughts that appear,
Waves in the ocean,
Or clouds in the sky,
Temporary appearances only,
And be still,
For in truth we cannot describe awareness,
For to do so would require thought,
Imagination,
Become the wisdom of knowing that this awareness simply is what it is,
This stillness,
This stillness is the heart of humanity,
This stillness is the oneness heart of humanity,
One heart,
The one breath,
The one presence,
The one unborn awareness,
Nothing is at a distance,
All is eternally here,
Now,
The more we let go,
The more we open ourselves to the clear seeing of being,
The unknowable presence of awareness,
Where nothing comes or goes,
Immovable,
Indivisible,
All embracing,
And to finish this exercise,
Just take a nice,
Long,
Relaxed,
Deep breath,
