Welcome,
I'm Bethany and I am grateful for you being here with me on this journey.
We'll begin by allowing your eyes to gently close or soften to one spot in the space around you.
Begin to allow your breath to come and go without effort,
In and out,
In and out.
You have arrived to connect at the crown,
The highest point of the energy body,
The place where the person meets the infinite,
Where you as the individual begins to remember that you are also something much,
Much greater.
There is no rush to get anywhere because you are already there.
Simply breathe,
Simply be,
Softening the jaw,
The shoulders,
The chest and waist,
Softening the hips,
The knees,
The ankles.
Let yourself be here now.
I invite you to imagine or sense that you have walked a long path through a deep forest.
You've crossed through meadows,
Rivers,
Through the darkness of the night and the bright clarity of the morning.
You have moved through earth and fire and wind and starlight.
And now you emerge onto an open summit.
The mountain is beneath you and the sky is above you.
Below,
You feel the strength,
The solidness of granite,
Of the ancestors,
Of all that has come before you.
And above,
You sense the vast,
Clear,
Endless open sky.
The light here is different from any light you have known.
It has no single source.
It simply is everywhere,
All at once,
Luminous and still.
You stand at the top.
You stand at the top of yourself,
At the very crest of your being.
From here,
You can see not just the terrain you've crossed,
But the way everything is connected.
The roots underground,
The rivers following their ancient paths,
The canopy of trees,
Breathing in and out like one great lung.
Every separate thing held in the same single light.
You are a part of this.
You have always been a part of this.
Feel into that knowing right now.
Now bring your awareness to the crown of your head,
The very top.
This chakra is about pure awareness of unity,
Of the recognition that consciousness itself is the ground of everything.
Notice any sensation here,
A tingling,
A subtle pressure,
A sense of spaciousness,
Or perhaps very little.
All of that is welcome.
Simply rest here for this moment.
I invite you to notice any parts that may show up here connected to these sensations.
Are there any parts of me still waiting to be welcomed home?
Notice if there may be parts that have worked tirelessly,
Who haven't been told they can rest,
Protectors who have been on duty so long they've forgotten what it feels like to put down the weight and just be.
Notice if there are managers who have planned and organized and anticipated without end,
Firefighters who rush in when the pain gets too great,
And any tender exiles,
The youngest,
Most vulnerable ones in or around you who have been hidden away so long they may have begun to believe they are forgotten.
From that place of curiosity and care,
From that heart center in you,
Take a moment to see if you can sense any of these parts and then let them know you are all welcome here.
Every single one of you.
You do not have to earn your place.
You do not have to fix yourself first.
You are welcome exactly as you are.
You may have parts inside that don't quite believe you,
And that's okay.
Let them feel your presence and know that you're here now.
Let them feel whatever is there in your heart,
Your neutral,
Calm presence.
And now imagine a soft,
Luminous light that's white and violet and gold all at once,
Like the light just at the start of dawn,
Gathering at the crown of your head.
It's simply present,
Simply available to you.
And this beautiful,
Violet,
White,
Golden light is healing.
Allow it to move gently downward,
Connecting the place of inner vision,
The place of voice,
The place of heart,
The place of fire,
The place of feeling,
And the roots of the spine,
Illuminating each center as it passes through like sunlight moving through,
All the way down,
Allowing it to come in all the way through,
From the top of your head to the soles of your feet,
One continuous column of light.
This is you,
All of you.
Not the fixed,
Protected,
Defended,
Managed version,
But the whole,
Breathing,
Luminous being that you actually are.
Allow that light to be felt from the inside out.
You may begin to feel a vibration or a tingle.
Just welcome that.
That is the beautiful energy of you.
And from this most spacious,
Most open part of you,
The self,
Your authentic,
Genuine,
True self,
The awareness beneath all awareness,
Let this truth move through every part of your being.
You are not broken.
You have never been broken.
You are a being of light who has had the very human experience of forgetting your light.
And now,
Right now,
In this moment,
You remember,
You connect.
Every part of you that has suffered is held in this light.
Every part of you that has worked too hard is now seen and held.
Every part of you that has longed for love is loved right now,
Without condition,
Without exception.
You are whole.
You are connected.
You belong to something that has no edges.
Let these words move through you,
Absorbing into every cell in your body.
You are whole.
You are connected.
Feel into yourself on the top of the mountain.
Not seeing yourself there,
But being there.
You are at this place where the individual you becomes the universal you.
Where your breath merges with the breath of all things.
Where your light is simply part of the great light.
And there is nothing you need to do to be worthy of this.
You simply are it.
And you always have been.
Let your whole being know this.
As we begin to return now,
Very gently and very slowly,
Back into the room.
Back into the body.
Back into the ordinary,
Remarkable fact of being alive and human in this moment.
Bring these words with you.
I am whole.
I am connected to all that is.
Every part of me is welcome.
I remember who I am.
I am light.
I am love.
I am free.
We say it again.
I am whole.
I am connected to all that is.
Every part inside of me is welcome.
I remember who I am.
I am light.
I am love.
I am free to be me.
Breathe into the whole length of your body.
Feel your feet.
Feel your hands.
Be aware of your breath.
The simple miracle of breath,
Of life.
Slowly begin to open your eyes when you're ready and let the light of the room gently meet you.
You have made the journey inward.
You have welcomed your parts and you have remembered your true self with a capital S.
Carry this with you today and every day.
You are home.
Thank you for being with me on this journey.
Bye for now.
