Transcript

To begin with,

See if you can position yourself as comfortably as you can,

Shifting your weight so you're allowing your body to be fully supported by the chair or the bed that you're in.

And taking a couple of deep,

Full cleansing breaths,

Inhaling as fully as you comfortably can,

Sending the warm energy of your breath to any part of your body that's sore or tense or tight,

And releasing the discomfort with the exhale so that you can feel your breath going to all the tight,

Tense places and loosening and softening them,

Then gathering up all the tension and breathing it out,

So that more and more you are feeling safe and comfortable,

Relaxed and easy,

Watching the cleansing action of the breath with friendly but detached awareness.

And any unwelcome thoughts that come to mind,

Those too can be sent out with the breath,

Released with the exhale,

So that for just a moment the mind is empty.

For just a split second,

It is free and clear space,

And you are blessed with stillness.

And any emotions that are rocking around in there,

Those too are noted and acknowledged and sent out with the breath,

So that your emotional self is still and quiet,

Like a lake with no ripples.

And now,

Imagining a place,

Preferably outdoors,

Where you feel safe and peaceful and easy,

A place either real or imaginary,

A place that you used to go to,

Or somewhere you've always wanted to be,

It doesn't matter.

Just so that it's a place that feels good and safe and peaceful to you,

And allowing the place to become more real to you in all of its dimensions,

Looking around you,

Taking the place in with your eyes,

Enjoying the colors,

The scenery,

Looking over to your right and to your left,

And feeling whatever you're sitting against or lying upon,

Whether it's sand or grass,

A pine-needley forest floor,

Or a nice warm rock in the sun,

And listening to the sounds of this place,

Birds singing or leaves rustling,

A gurgling stream or crashing waves,

Letting your ears become attuned to the wonderful sounds of this place that is so safe and peaceful to you.

You might feel a breeze blowing,

Crisp and dry,

Or balmy and wet,

So just letting your skin enjoy the wonderful presence of this place,

And smelling its rich scents,

Salty air,

Sweet meadow grass.

And as you become more and more attuned to the safety and beauty of this place,

Feeling thankful and happy to be there,

You begin to feel a kind of tingling,

A pleasant,

Energizing something in the air all around you,

Something that contains expectancy and excitement,

A sense that something wonderful is just about to happen.

And you may even smile to yourself,

Because perhaps you haven't had that feeling in a while,

But now you do know with some certainty that there is magic in this place,

And that something wonderful is just about to happen.

And no sooner does that certainty settle around you,

When from somewhere above you,

A powerful white light softly and steadily moves down,

Forming a tent of vibrant,

Tingling energy all around you.

A pyramid of humming energy,

Illuminating everything it touches with exquisite brightness,

Highlight definition,

Vibrating color,

Giving everything it shines on a fresh,

New beauty.

You can feel the air around you intensifying,

Glowing,

Dancing with sparkling energy.

And with a sense of wonder and gratitude for such stunning beauty,

You feel the tingling energy of the light moving down through your body,

Softly entering your head and neck,

Your shoulders,

Chest,

Gently massaging and releasing as it moves down your spine,

Filling your back and torso,

Penetrating into the layers of tissue,

Deeper and deeper,

Slowly and steadily moving into every organ,

Massaging and cleansing and clearing as it goes,

Down into the bone,

Moving down into your legs and filling your feet,

All the way to the very ends of your toes.

Feeling the vibrant,

Gentle light working its magic deep inside your body,

Moving with deliberate intelligence to places that feel tighter,

Denser,

Heavier,

And kneading and softening them,

Cleansing and clearing them,

Dissolving the tightness and feeling the spaces open up as you breathe into them.

Understanding that swollen tissue is shrinking,

Tense muscle is softening,

Sore,

Unhealthy places are dissolving,

And you can sense that the light is even scanning the body cell by cell,

That it is finding irregular cells that may be starting to form and deftly,

Easily dissolving them,

Turning anything that might contribute to your discomfort into a neutral kind of dust.

And knowing that the light is not just reaching into the body,

It is not just unhealthy tissue that is dissolving,

But that pockets of painful feelings stored in the body are dissolving too,

Old hurts and resentments melting away,

Ancient griefs and fears loosening,

Harsh expectations softening.

Feeling crusty pockets of old guilt and self-hatred break down and disintegrate,

Becoming harmless,

Neutral dust.

Feeling all through your body the penetrating power of this remarkable,

Healing light.

And feeling the shift on the inside as your body aligns itself to its vibrant energy.

And with a peaceful,

Safe,

Easy feeling,

You watch as the light slowly begins to withdraw,

Returning to wherever it came from,

Until it is gone altogether for now,

Knowing it is yours to call forth again whenever you wish.

When you take a deep breath,

Feeling the widened spaces that are now opened,

Enjoying the stillness,

And you begin to hear a very soft breeze,

Feeling a gentle but deliberate movement of air against your skin,

Sweet,

Soft air,

Carrying the scent of newness like fresh sheets or ocean air or baby skin,

Fresh and new.

And you watch,

Surprised but not surprised,

As this soft breeze doesn't stop at your skin,

But moves right through it,

Effortlessly wafting through skin and muscle and bone,

Through each and every organ,

Through your very cells,

Moving right through you,

Lifting up and carrying away any dust or debris that might be there,

Anything you don't need or want,

A cleansing breeze fresh and new sweeping right through you,

Clearing away any trace of disease,

Leaving you with sweet new open spaces,

Soft and expanded,

And sensing the roominess,

Breathing into the open spaces,

Feeling the freedom,

The spaciousness,

As the gentle healing wind moves through you,

Knowing that this sweet magical current of air is not just cleansing and clearing the tissue of the body,

But that it is carrying away old rigid ideas and harsh expectations about who you should be,

How things should go,

Blowing away sour,

Negative thinking,

Releasing punitiveness toward yourself and others.

And you can just watch all of that float away,

Feeling it lift and drift on out,

Soft and easy on the back of this gentle singing breeze,

Feeling peaceful and easy as the soft cleansing wind gently moves on and hearing it fade,

Knowing it is yours to call forth whenever you wish,

And enjoying the spacious feeling you are left with,

Breathing deeply into the wide expanded places.

And now you notice,

Moving up from the ground all around you,

A gentle,

Fine healing mist,

Soft and nourishing on your skin,

Delicate and fine,

Softly moving up and surrounding you,

Perhaps carrying the scent of rich,

Moist soil.

And again,

You can feel this rich,

Fine mist move deliberately and intelligently through your body,

Gently rolling through skin and muscle and bone,

Through each and every organ,

Replenishing the healthy cells,

Encouraging strong new growth,

Activating the replacement of whatever is needed.

And you can see the cells plump up as they soak in the nourishment,

Rich and full and strong,

Saluting to your health and strength,

Vital and determined,

Aligned with their original blueprint.

And you know that it is not just your body that is receiving this nourishment,

But that the mist is soaking a new softness into your whole being,

A gentle,

Sweet forgiveness of yourself and others,

A permission to be who you really are,

To trust in your own essential goodness,

To trust in your ability to fulfill your purpose,

To be conscious of what really matters to you,

To expand into the generosity of your true nature and settle into the peaceful stillness at your center.

And as the mist softly subsides,

You are certain,

You know with your whole heart,

With your whole being,

That you are the light,

You are the breeze,

You are the mist,

That you contain everything you need to be at peace,

That your deepest well-being rests in your own open heart.

And letting the warmth and softness of that awareness fill you,

Feeling peaceful and easy,

Open and spacious,

You once again see yourself in your safe and peaceful outdoor surroundings.

Although the colors around you might be brighter,

The sounds more vivid,

The air more alive,

You might feel that something powerful has happened,

That a major shift has occurred and will continue to occur,

With or without your conscious working on it.

And you know that you can call forth this place,

The light,

The breeze,

The mist,

Whenever you wish to further the work that you have already done.

So once again,

Feeling yourself sitting in your chair or lying down,

Breathing in and out very rhythmically and easily,

Gently and with soft eyes,

Coming back into the room whenever you are ready,

Knowing in a deep place that you are better for this.

And so you are.
