Close your eyes and invite your attention to go inwards as you place your precious hand over your beautiful heart,
This place where heaven and earth meet,
Where the emotions and experiences of the body come into contact with the glory of your soul.
And as you invite your breath to slow itself down,
Allow yourself to feel that you are being breathed by the divine in this very moment,
Just like God breathed life into Adam And he breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.
So it is with you,
Precious one,
The divine is breathing life into you in this moment and this moment and this moment,
And allow that breath of life to expand your chest and belly even more.
And with your hand over your heart,
Feel as it were a divine hand holding your heart and pumping that breath of life into every fiber of your being,
From the top of your head,
Softening the muscles of your face and jaw,
Down your neck and shoulders,
Allowing them to let go of the weight of the day,
Feeling that breath of life bringing heaviness and relaxation to your arms,
And feel that Nishmat Chaim,
That breath of life,
Making its way down your spine,
And relaxing all the organs of the trunk of your body,
In your chest and in your belly,
And relaxing all the muscles of your back,
All the way down to your hips,
Allow your hips to let go of any tension that they hold,
And feel that ease making its way down your thighs and calves and feet,
All the way down to the tips of your toes.
And with the next breath of life,
I invite you to expand your awareness beyond the limitations of your body,
And out a few meters beyond your heart,
Still connecting with your heart,
And at the same time,
Becoming aware of the love and light and energy surrounding you always,
And allow your awareness to notice the wall on your right,
And to feel on that wall is God's divine name,
And see it in all of its radiant glory,
Yud,
He,
And Vav,
He,
Loving you and adoring you,
And now stretch your awareness to the wall on your left,
And again see that radiant divine name,
Yud,
He,
And Vav,
He,
And feel its light holding you and supporting you,
And feel that light again as you imagine the wall behind you,
And on that wall is gloriously shining,
Yud,
He,
And Vav,
He,
Offering you healing and comfort in every moment,
And on the wall before you,
There is another Yud,
He,
And Vav,
He,
That serves as a beacon shining your way forward,
And on the ground beneath you,
Again a beautiful Yud,
He,
And Vav,
He,
Holding you and loving you like a newborn baby,
And on the ceiling above you,
Watching over you in every moment of your life,
Is a glorious Yud,
He,
And Vav,
He,
So that you know you are always surrounded by divine light and love and protection,
But as our Qabbalistic masters teach us,
The divine doesn't just surround all worlds,
He also fills all worlds,
So I invite you to see that divine name above your head,
And open up the crown of your head to invite it into its rightful home,
Because you,
Precious one,
Were made in the image of the divine,
So see and feel the Yud of God's name slipping in through the crown of your head,
And filling your head with its light,
So much so that your face is a light,
And shining with that light,
A light that offers you wisdom and understanding throughout your journey of life,
And the first He of the divine name comes in through the crown of your head and makes its way down until the top of the He meets you between the shoulders,
And the legs of the He fill your arms with a light that embraces you and holds you through it all,
And the Vav of the divine name comes in through the crown of your head,
Slipping right into your spine,
Filling your spine with the light of beauty,
Reminding you of the beauty that you are,
And radiating that light into the entire trunk of your body,
And the last He of the divine name comes in through the crown of your head and makes its way all the way down until the top of the He meets you between the hips,
And the legs of the He fill your legs with the light that guides you forward and helps you appreciate the journey every step of the way,
Allow yourself to envision the rest of your day,
Moving through the day as a beacon of that light,
Shining onto everyone you meet,
Everything you touch,
For you,
Dear one,
Are a blessing,
Allow yourself to feel the blessing that you are as you slowly come back into your body,
Wiggling your fingers and wiggling your toes,
And slowly batting your eyes open,
Ready to bless the world with divine sight,
With blessings from Jerusalem.
