Welcome.
Take a moment to find a comfortable position,
Whether seated or laying down,
Whatever feels right for your body.
And when you're ready,
Begin by taking a deep inhale in through the nose.
And letting it all go out through the mouth.
Allowing the body to soften here,
Now,
In this moment.
There's nothing you need to do here,
Nothing to get right.
I'll be with you the whole way.
And if at any point you want to come back to open your eyes,
To feel the room around you,
You can.
That way is always open.
Now let's begin with a couple breaths together.
We're going to start by breathing in through the nose and then out through the mouth.
Let's go.
Breathing in through the nose.
And letting it go out through the mouth.
That's it.
More and more,
In through the nose.
And now nice and slow through the mouth.
Beautiful.
And now you can let the breath find its own rhythm.
Feeling the weight of your body.
Wherever it's being held.
The back of the head.
Shoulders.
Letting them drop a little.
The arms,
The hands,
The fingers softening.
The back,
The hips,
All the way down to the legs.
To the heels.
And the soles of the feet.
And the whole body all at once.
Hell.
Maybe the jaw lets go a little.
The small muscles around the eyes.
The space between the eyebrows.
Nothing you need to force,
Just letting the softness find its way into the places that are ready for it.
And as the body settles,
Mind may still be busy.
And that's okay.
Thoughts can come and go like clouds moving across a wide sky.
You don't have to follow them.
And with every breath out,
You might notice yourself becoming a little heavier,
A little softer.
Dropping into this a little deeper.
Drifting.
The way you drift at the very edge of sleep.
While my voice stays right here with you.
Allowing yourself to fall deeper now.
And deeper still.
The quiet growing a little wider than the room.
And from here,
Let's take three slow breaths together.
The first one in through the nose.
That's it.
And a little more at the top.
And let it all go with a sigh.
The second breath.
In through the nose for four.
In and out,
Soft and slow for six.
And the third.
Breathing in through the nose.
And all the way out.
Resting there for a moment at the bottom of the breath.
That quiet place where something new can begin.
And as you rest here.
You might begin to notice a light above you.
Soft at first,
Warm,
Gentle,
Even through closed eyes.
It might be golden,
It might be white.
Or a color all its own.
However it comes to you is exactly right.
And slowly,
It begins to pour down around you.
Over your face,
Your chest,
Your hand,
Until the whole body is resting inside it.
It feels warm and safe.
Like being loved completely without needing to do anything at all.
And as you're held in the light,
You begin to rise.
Slowly.
Gently.
As light as breath.
Out through the room.
You might notice you're floating above your home now.
The roof below you,
The stream,
The tree.
The lights in the window.
Higher you go,
The whole neighborhood.
The town or city spreading out beneath you,
Roads like threads.
Lights like scattered stars.
And higher still,
The whole country.
The land,
The rivers,
The mountains.
A coastline meeting the sea.
And higher,
The whole continent.
The oceans on either side.
Clouds drifting slowly all over it.
And higher.
Out beyond the sky.
Into the stillness of space.
And there below you,
The Earth.
Turning slowly.
.
.
Blue and green and white,
Quiet.
Hmm.
Beautiful.
Floating here.
Looking down at it all.
Feeling how held you are.
And light begins to carry you gently back down.
Down through the stillness.
Back into the sky.
Through the soft layers of the clouds.
Down towards the place that's waiting for you.
And softly the light lets you down,
Gently.
Welcome to this place.
Take your time here.
There's no rush at all.
Feeling the ground beneath your feet first.
What's it like?
Soft.
Firm.
More.
Pool.
And the air around you.
Temperature on your skin.
Breathing in… and noticing what this place smells like.
Listen.
What can you hear?
Near you.
And far away.
And the light here.
What colors does it bring out?
You might reach out and touch something nearby.
A leaf,
A stone,
A wall.
Whatever's close.
Feeling its texture under your fingers.
And as you look around,
You see there's a home in front of you.
Begin to take it in slowly,
Its shape.
What it's made of.
The structure.
Foundation.
The overall look of it.
It may feel familiar.
You may feel new.
Or somehow both at once.
And as you begin to walk towards it.
You know it is.
Someone's there.
Someone you feel connected to.
You might see them clearly.
Might sense them.
You might simply know they're there.
And as you come closer,
You begin to really see them.
Their face.
Their eyes.
The way they're smiling at you.
How they stand.
How they carry themselves.
What they're wearing.
Colors.
Textures.
Facial features.
And as you stand in front of them.
You feel their presence.
The warmth of them.
They're calm.
And they look at you.
And they say.
.
.
I've been waiting for you.
And somewhere in you.
You know.
You know this person very well.
You feel as if this person.
.
.
Is you.
Person that you are becoming.
And they welcome you inside.
Into their home.
And you begin to look around and see what's here.
The smell.
The love.
What they chose to keep close around them.
They invite you to come and sit.
Feel calm.
As if time does not exist anymore.
And all is good.
Exists right here in the moment with them.
And then you start to feel inside.
Questions.
Questions that you've been wanting to ask them.
Letting each question come.
And asking it in your own way.
And as you do,
They are listening as you share each word.
With this calm knowing that you would ask this.
And a knowing of exactly what it is you needed to hear.
And if there's more you want to ask.
You can ask it.
And maybe there's something they want you to know as well.
Something they've been waiting to tell you.
And they too.
They turn to you as your eyes lock.
And begin to share.
Words that you've been waiting to hear that you didn't even know.
Letting these words land.
Exactly where they need to.
And after a while they stand.
And they invite you to follow them.
Into another room the whole night.
The Hydra.
Room.
I feel special.
And they turn to you and say.
.
.
I know exactly.
Where you are right now,
I remember.
And this is exactly what you need.
It was given to me at this point in my life.
And now?
I'm giving it to you.
And they hold out a box.
Letting yourself picture it,
Its size,
Its shape.
Color.
What it's made of.
And they place it in your hands.
Feeling its weight.
Texture beneath your fingers.
It's warm.
And when you're ready.
You open it up.
And inside it.
That's exactly what you needed.
Holding it close to your chest now.
Resting a hand there if it feels right.
Knowing exactly what you needed.
Is right here.
Breathing into the hand.
Saying it one more time.
Exactly what I need.
It's right here.
As you close the box,
Begin to walk away.
Thank them.
As you begin to walk and you look back.
You exchange a smile.
One that you feel deep into your heart.
The knowing that you came and you received exactly what you needed to.
Knowing you could always come back here whenever you would like.
But you also know that the light in front of you is waiting to take you back.
You step into it once again.
Rising up through the sky.
Up into the stillness,
The earth.
Everything turning quiet once more beneath you.
And then gently down over the continent,
Country,
The city or town,
Your street.
Your home.
And back into this room.
Back into your body.
Resting right where you began.
Feeling the weight of you.
Whatever's holding you.
The sounds around you near and far.
The air on your skin.
The light beyond your eyelids.
Letting the breath deepen.
A few full breaths in at your own time now.
Maybe the fingers want to move the toes.
Maybe a stretch.
Whatever your body is asking for.
Remembering.
You were given exactly what you needed.
And it's here with you.
As you move into your day or evening.
Whenever you need it.
It's right here.
Take your time.
And when you're ready.
Only when you are ready.
Allow your eyes to open.
Take a deep inhale.
Exhale.
And welcome back.
