Embracing the ego with your soul's heart,
Take a moment to close your eyes.
Put yourself in a seated and comfortable position with your feet flat on the ground or your tailbone nestled directly on Mother Earth.
And slowly,
Gently settle your body in through slight swaying on your tailbone,
Feeling the surface of what you're sitting on.
Relaxing your face,
Allowing a deep inhale to fill your belly and with a double exhale allowing yourself to pause,
Inhaling exhaling as long as you can,
Pausing at the bottom.
In through the nose,
Exhaling with the ahh out the mouth.
Bringing your awareness down into your core,
Lower abdomen,
Danjon,
Korean for energy center,
Located two inches below your navel,
Halfway down your in the middle of your body in your second chakra.
Now imagine on your mind screen,
Imagine a big 180 to 360 degree movie screen surrounding your body near your brain and your heart.
And on this mind screen imagine a car in the front seat of the car driving it.
Imagine your ego,
Your personality.
You can put a face,
Clothes,
Sounds that come from the ego and represent that for you.
It includes all of the best of your personality and the worst,
The reactions and all the ways it manifests what you do want.
Now imagine as this car moves along,
This car is actually your body and inside your body in the back seat is your soul,
The embodiment of your soul.
And this soul you can imagine whatever comes to mind.
Maybe it's a bright light,
Maybe it's a pink,
Heart-like pulsing energy or maybe it takes on the character of someone you love and trust.
Whatever form it takes just allow that.
Now zooming out on your mind screen you see the driver,
The ego and you see your soul in the back seat.
If you look closer the soul is blindfolded.
It can't see and your ego has to drive the soul around.
It's the purpose of the ego to serve the soul as its chauffeur,
Taking the soul wherever it wants to go to any destination.
For without the ego the soul cannot fully express itself through its personality.
It would be a formless energetic made up of millions of life particles and little bits of energy.
The car gives the soul form but it needs to move and that is the role of the ego to serve the soul as its teammate,
Partner,
Not adversary,
Not enemy.
Knowing the ego can either kill you,
The soul in this car or serve the soul.
One must tame or train the ego.
Let us do that now.
Taking a deep inhale through your nose and out your mouth.
Imagine on this mind screen,
This car,
There is trouble ahead and your personality ego reacts and gets triggered.
Suddenly there's another car that cuts it off.
Your car and the ego personality starts road raging,
Upset,
Angry.
Another aspect of the personality ego pops up in the front passenger side and starts yelling,
How can you have this much anger?
You should be more conscious than that.
You're a teacher for goodness sake.
In both aspects of the ego and personality start arguing with each other.
As you feel tension coming into your body imagining this,
You might recall anything you're dealing with stressfully right now from today,
A moment ago or yesterday or a future where you're concerned.
Picture any stress that you're dealing with.
It could be a body pain,
Unwanted sensation,
Any reaction.
It could be simply boredom or depression.
Emotions are a very visceral manifestation of the ego.
A very colorful reacting entity of the ego,
Good or bad.
And now as you imagine this expression of the ego reacting anger,
Sadness,
Depression,
Boredom,
High excitement.
This is the time for the soul to soothe comforts and be with the ego,
Not to fix the ego,
Not to overcome the ego in duality.
Imagine the soul simply allowing the ego to be road-raging.
Bringing awareness,
Allowing and acknowledging whatever it is the ego is reacting to.
Doing nothing with it other than feeling the body sensation and ensuing emotion.
Feel the body sensation is it tingly,
Prickly,
Stabbing,
Pulsating,
Still,
Heavy,
Wet,
Dry.
Notice where it's located in your body,
This reactive trigger from the ego.
It could be a relationship that is not how you want it.
Where does that pain or heaviness lie in the body?
What does it look like?
What's the color,
The texture,
The movement of this ego expression reaction?
You might see multiple expressions and triggers coming.
Just allow.
Allow them all to be the way they are.
And as you allow,
You keep being aware.
Allow and acknowledge.
The soul acknowledges simply the presence of the ego and in doing so continues just loving it as it is.
Raging,
Sad,
Heavy,
Depressed,
Beating up,
Judging,
All of it.
The soul is aware,
Allows and acknowledges its presence.
You may feel a warmth of love coming from the soul in the backseat on your mind screen enveloping the ego,
Sending it love for no reason,
Not to fix or change it.
Just loving it just because it does that.
It is love filling the car.
The ego continues.
Its antics,
Reactions,
Sensations or not might be subsiding or might be amplifying whatever it does is perfect.
The soul embraces the ego as it is.
Continue allowing,
Acknowledging and bringing awareness.
Being aware of how the ego is acting out,
Noticing it,
Bringing consciousness to it.
Allowing and feeling the full body sensations,
Observing its texture,
Observing its color and movement,
Shape and location in the body and then simply acknowledging its presence by doing nothing and just being.
As the soul's presence gets stronger it might feel like a sun that absorbs,
Embraces,
Welcomes that tantrum ego playing out or heavy depressed,
Whatever version it is.
It just loves because it can.
That is what is the soul.
And now taking a last inhale through the nose,
Exhale out the mouth,
Imagining that exhale going through your spine upwards to the crown of your head and down through your first chakra spine base sacrum.
Feel the flow of energy going out radiating from your heart up and down and also coming back the other direction feeling Mother Earth up through your tailbone and the cosmos,
The sky coming down as the Sun through the top of your head mixing into your heart,
Mixing at your core and mixing at your sixth chakra and all your major energy centers.
Enjoy,
Imagine and feel this light coming from all directions all around us coming through our bodies miraculously mixing merging playing expanding ebbing flowing fluxing.
This is you as soul embracing your ego in all the ways it triggers.
Those triggers are the moments,
The perfect precious moments to allow the soul to simply be aware,
Allow and acknowledge the ego.
Nothing more,
Nothing less.
This is how the soul energetically embraces the ego with love not to fix or change the ego simply to be aware and allow and acknowledge its presence.
And now gently moving your fingers and toes and when you're ready fluttering open your eyes.
