Find a quiet space where you won't be disturbed for a few minutes.
Sit in a comfortable position and then close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in and as you exhale,
Imagine a ruby red fire at the base of your spine.
This isn't a fire that burns,
It is one that purifies.
Feel the ruby red fire slowly rise towards your chest.
As it reaches your heart,
Let it consume any heavy greed,
Old resentment,
Or the weight of any pain from the past.
Watch as those heavy feelings burn away into a neutral gray ash.
Now imagine a cool sapphire ocean wave gently crash through your heart space.
It carries away the ashes of what no longer serves you.
As the water ebbs away,
Feel your heart soften.
It is no longer like a rigid stone,
It is an open vessel ready to be renewed.
Focus on the center of your chest,
From the void where the heaviness used to be.
A tiny spark of light begins to flicker about.
With every inhale,
This golden light expands,
Turning the spark into a liquid golden stream,
Filling every crack in your heart.
Visualize as this golden light makes your heart more stronger,
Flexible,
And unyielding.
As the golden light settles,
Feel its weight not as a burden,
But as experience.
Your heart is no longer broken,
But is now whole.
Like the Japanese art of Kintsuji,
The cracks in your heart are now filled with the most precious substance in the universe,
Allowing your beauty to shine fully through.
Before we end this session,
Repeat this affirmation after me.
From the heavy lead to liquid gold,
I shed the stories I have told.
Perched by the light and a-born anew,
My heart beats bright and my soul rings true.
Take one final deep breath,
Filling the warmth of the gold behind your ribs.
When you are ready,
Gently wiggle your fingers and your toes,
Then open your eyes.
