Welcome. Allow yourself to be somewhere where you will be. Relaxed and undisturbed. We move through our body, Ensuring that we are releasing any tension that we might be feeling. We embrace the big breath in, Signaling to the nervous system. We're becoming more aware of where we are right now. And as you exhale, Letting the breath go and letting any tension melt away from your body also. And then we begin the process of just simply embracing and noticing every inhalation and exhalation. Nothing more, Nothing less, Just following it in. And following it out. And allow yourself to begin to notice. A gentle mist that's coming through your mind. Hues of green. And gold. And you begin to hear the sounds of water. Gentle running water. And in your mind's eye, Your body rests, And you have been transported to another time and space. You find yourself in an open meadow. Tiny flowers in clusters over the soft grass. Just ahead of you, Some trees line what you know to be a small river. And you walk towards it as you hear the water moving gently across the rocks. The sky is blue and brilliant and bright, Not a cloud in the sky. As you approach the edge of the river where the trees are. You gently bend. To move under the canopy of some of the smaller trees. And there you see the river. The way that the trees stand like guardians either side. Arching up and over the river. And as you lift your gaze, You see the different shafts of sunlight. That make their way through the canopy of the trees. These shafts of light play with the water. Turning aspects of the river to gold. You notice a short way up the river, There is a small wooden boat. Adorned with cushions, Silk, Brightly coloured cushions. And your heart knows that this has been placed there for you. With ease and grace, You drift along the edge of the river. As the two great hands of light pick you up. They gently place you amongst these soft cushions. You find yourself seated, Your back against the bow of the boat. You're able to place your hand easily into the water. Feeling its softness. It's energizing. And then again, As the two great hands of light caress you. The boat gently leaves the shore and starts to drift in the gentleness of the flowing water. You're able to lean your head back on one of the cushions. And find yourself gazing through the canopy of the trees above you. All of your senses are filled with this moment. The smell of the blossoms and the trees, The sound of the water. The warmth of the skin. As the sun warms the skin. You can taste. The sweet blossoms. And you smell deeper through your breath. There is nothing to ask for here. There is no particular color, Energy. Oh, Journey. This moment in time is simply for you to embrace the moment. The beauty that is around you. All the different colours. Are embracing you with their energy. All the different sounds of nature welcoming you home. The different elements. Flowing through you. Creating an equilibrium. From deep within yourselves. Deep serenity washes through you. You become aware of the flow of life, The Kriya. Who gently notices the boat. Taps the shoreline. It's almost instinctive that you place your other hand in the water. And slowly begin to guide the boat. It doesn't take any effort. You're not forcing. But helping guide the boat. Guide yourself. Down this river of life. The boat and the river are a symbol for life itself. That the universal flow is always with us. But our intention, Our gentle guidance of knowing. Or focus. Helps us to move through them. With the universe even more. We cannot force, But we can flow. And through our breath and through our presence and through our awareness to come back to ourselves. We align with nature. And she aligns us. To our oneness. You close your eyes. And you hear the sounds beginning to fade, The feeling of the cushions gently shifting. Losing the feeling of the water. Until in your heart. You feel yourself back where you were seated or lying. Embracing your surroundings. And feeling a deep sense. Of cleansing. Of connection. To that which is within you. Below the surface and the busyness. Of the mind and of life. The serenity you feel. Never leaves you. She waits within you. She waits. For you to hear her. To feel her. To remember. Thank you for sharing sacred space.
