Breathe deeply and imagine you are walking through a wide-open field of tall grass and flowers.
Ahead of you is the sunrise.
You breathe in nature's fragrances.
The sun refracts in every dewdrop on the flower petals and blades of grass.
The sound of birdsong and insects buzzing fill the air.
In the distance,
You hear the rumbling sound of ocean waves collapsing onto a shore,
Followed by the sound of the water sliding back into the sea,
Followed once again by the sound of breaking waves.
Each wave cycle sounds a little clearer and distinct,
Which means you must be getting closer.
And now the horizon begins to reveal a vast body of ocean.
The sun's brilliant reflection on the water's surface.
You stop.
Ahead of you is a long,
Sloping hill leading down to the sea,
And the shoreline stretching for miles in both directions.
You are a soul having a human experience.
And each day,
In the course of that human experience,
You will walk down that hill and step into that ocean.
And the day might bring rough seas that toss you and challenge you to keep from drowning,
Or it might be a tranquil sea today in which you float effortlessly.
It might be both.
But for right now,
You pause here in this field,
On this beautiful summit,
And connect with the higher self within you,
Your authentic self,
Your true self.
Connect with the divine inspiration that created you.
The door to that connection opens as you close your eyes,
Extend your arms out and feel the warmth of the sun on your face,
Your chest,
Your legs,
All the way down to your toes.
And you breathe.
Deep,
Satisfying breaths.
The rhythm of your breathing synchronizes with the pattern of waves breaking on the shore.
Here on this beautiful hilltop summit,
Overlooking it all,
All the sensory information melting into each breath.
However you are in this moment is just fine.
Wherever your thoughts are taking you,
Don't fight it.
Just notice and keep breathing.
Imagine each breath bringing purification,
A flushing out of any limiting beliefs,
Misperceptions,
Out-of-date stories that might challenge your ability to simply be you.
And on this next breath you feel ocean mist settle on your skin,
Bringing cleansing,
Rebirth.
And you remember that every experience you have in life is an opportunity to evolve in awareness,
A chance to show up in your authenticity,
From a place of love.
Each breath brings a new level of clarity that you are love,
That you are perfect.
And your mission in this lifetime is to release the barriers within you to that reality.
Soon you will make your way down the hill and return to the ocean to ride the tides,
Navigate the waves that come with being human.
And in those moments that are challenging,
You will remember who you really are.
Blessings on your day ahead.
