Visualize and feel a beam of light shooting down from the crown of your head along the central channel and down into the earth.
Pick a color for this light and feel the vibrational quality of that color as you visualize it moving further into the earth.
Shine this light as deep as you'd like,
Remembering the deeper we go the higher we can rise.
Begin by taking a deep breath in and gently letting it out.
With each breath feel your body soften and release any last lingering tension.
Notice the rhythm of your heart,
That is life moving through you.
Feel the support of the surface beneath you and as your body settles let the awareness turn inward.
Feeling the rise and fall of your chest,
The beating of your heart,
A reminder that you are alive in this moment.
Bring your awareness to your physical body.
See it clearly in your mind's eye as though you are observing it from above.
This body has carried you through every moment of your life.
This life has grown,
Changed and adapted to the world around you.
Imagine gently and without fear the natural process of this body one day returning to the earth.
See the muscles relaxing,
The breath growing still and the heart slowing until it ceases to beat.
There is no sadness here,
Only a quiet understanding.
This body,
This body is a temporary vessel,
A gift of this life.
A gift of a lifetime.
Now as the body rests,
Feel a deep sense of lightness rising within you.
This lightness,
The awareness of the all.
This is your true self,
The essence that has no beginning and no end.
Notice how this awareness expands beyond the body,
Filling the space around you.
It is limitless,
Unbound by time or form.
Feel yourself merging with this infinite presence as though you are a drop returning to the vast.
See there is no fear,
Only peace.
As you realize that what you are truly cannot die.
Now rest here,
Rest here in this boundless awareness.
And know that while the physical body is impermanent,
Your essence is eternal,
Connected to all things.
Breathe into this truth.
You are both the observer and the observed,
The wave and the ocean.
Let yourself surrender fully into this state of expanded consciousness.
There is no fear,
Only peace.
As you realize what you truly are cannot die,
Only the ego dies.
This presence in this here moment now,
This presence you feel removes time.
Without time,
Suffering as you have known it cannot occur.
The accepting of suffering for what it truly is,
Illusion,
Is a journey of time.
It is a journey into death.
And when you have died this death,
You realize there is no death and there is nothing to fear.
Only the ego dies.
The light of the universe that animates itself through the physical body is eternal.
We are eternal.
Now breathe light into your eternal awareness.
Visualize and feel a soft glowing golden light emanating from a small point in your heart center.
See and feel that golden light growing into a small sphere.
Feel it grow until it encompasses your entire body.
Breathe and feel the peaceful sensations that accompany letting go.
Float now in this infinite ocean of golden light.
Let go of all sense of separation.
There is no separation.
You and this light are one.
Slowly and gently begin to bring your awareness back to your body.
Feel the air moving in and out of your lungs,
The warmth of life in your chest.
Wiggle your fingers and toes anchoring yourself in the here and now.
Carry with you the understanding that while the body is temporary,
The light within you is eternal.
And slowly now,
Guided by your intuition,
When you are ready,
Open your eyes.
Enter the world with a sense of peace,
Surrender,
And expanded awareness.
By meditating on the death of the body,
We free ourselves from the fear of impermanence and awaken to the timeless essence of who we truly are.
