As you come in to the space,
The intention of allowing this time for you,
Breathe in,
Eyes open and aware that you are breathing in.
And as you breathe out,
Breathe out through your mouth.
And again with the eyes open,
Breathing in,
Fully aware that that is what you are doing.
And as you breathe out,
Breathe out through the mouth and begin to feel,
Letting the tension and the tightness release from your body.
And on this third and last,
Inhalation with the eyes open.
As you exhale out through the mouth,
A sense of truly arriving in this moment.
Your intention,
Your empowerment is to leave the busyness of your life outside.
That this time for you will be one that is internal.
We cannot always change the situations or experiences we are receiving in our life.
But the one thing that is eternal is our internal self.
Gently close your eyes and ask yourself,
What is your intention for this time?
Is it to quieten the mind?
Is it to push thoughts away?
Is it to leave the busyness of your life outside?
Whilst they are all valid reasons,
Perhaps there is a way we can shift the thought and the feeling to one that is more nurturing.
Rather than pushing away the external sources of our existence,
The situations,
Relationships or demands,
Why not turn the focus inward?
To focus on the inner light,
To allow it to shine brighter.
By bringing the awareness inside ourselves,
We ignite a brighter flame.
One that enables us and empowers us to see the situations in our life more clearly.
If your mind is busy,
Other thoughts coming into it,
Do not push them away,
But rather bring the focus deeper into the feeling of breathing in and breathing out.
Inside your mind saying,
I am breathing in,
I am breathing out,
I am breathing in,
Breathing out like a wave back from the centre to the surface,
Letting go of any tension,
Any busy thoughts,
Anything that does not serve to bring you immense peace.
Feel how the tension leaves the face.
The eyes seem to drift deeper into the skull as they lose their tension.
The jaw relaxing,
The tongue softening.
Feel the waves of peace and calm through your body.
The waves moving down through the soles of your feet,
Out through your hands,
Through your spine,
Through your organs,
Through your chest,
Your throat,
Up into your skull and through your mind.
From my heart to yours,
Thank you for sharing sacred space with me and may your inner light shine brightly.
