You can relax,
Close your eyes,
Take three breaths in and out.
You can breathe in and breathe out.
Breathing in,
Allow your breath to fill you up with light.
And as you breathe out,
Exhale any darkness.
Breathing in,
Breathing in the light.
Relaxing.
Envision yourself at the base of a mountain.
You have a journey ahead of you as you begin to walk up the mountain.
You notice what the mountain looks like.
Pay attention to any foliage,
Any sounds that you hear.
Pay attention to how you feel as you begin your journey.
This journey will take you on a path to rise up above any limitation,
Any place that you're bound,
Anything that's holding you back.
And you continue walking up the mountain,
Paying attention to the path,
How it curves,
Anything that catches your eye.
You take a rest and stop.
You put your hands onto the mountain.
And you ground yourself.
Listening,
Feeling,
Seeing.
That mountain has many secrets for you.
And if you listen carefully,
If you look around,
If you open yourself up on your journey,
You will become one with the energy and the wisdom of the mountain.
And when you're ready,
You continue up.
And you look all the way up,
And you look all the way back.
And you're focused on your hike,
On your walk,
On your path.
And you continue up,
Up,
Up.
You notice it begins to get misty.
You're reaching the clouds.
And when you're in the clouds,
You stop again.
You place your hands on the mountain.
Listening,
Feeling,
Watching.
Hearing,
Touching.
Feeling that you've become one with the mountain.
The mountain has so many treasures to share with you.
The mountain is high,
High above,
And at the same time grounded into the core of the earth.
And you enjoy your connection with the mountain.
You keep on going up the path through the clouds.
And when you rise above the clouds,
You look around you,
And you notice shapes of all sizes.
And you try to make out what are these objects,
And you begin to realize there are many,
Many,
Many beings with you here on this journey.
You start to think about them.
Seeing familiar faces,
People that you love,
Those that you care about.
You allow them into your focus,
Into your heart.
And as you look at them,
The mountain begins to help you and support you,
Allowing you to open your hearts and to want all of the other people in your life to really,
Truly desire for them to rise above as well.
And you begin to see how everything is interconnected,
How everything is one.
You allow yourself to love and to be there for others.
And you feel pure,
And you see white lights surrounding everyone that's with you on the mountain.
And this is your answer.
You now know what it means to rise above.
And you've reached the top,
And the sunlight is pouring down,
Warming the earth,
Warming your heart.
You enjoy that warmth.
And you go back down the mountain,
Through the clouds,
Back down the trails.
And although it's you coming back,
Inside your heart is every single person that was with you on the top of the mountain.
You feel grounded and certain.
You feel filled with a desire to share and to give and to love.
You can listen to the counts of three to one,
And at one you can open your eyes.
Three,
You can start to wiggle your toes and your fingers.
Two,
You can gently deepen your breath.
And one,
You can slowly open your eyes.
