Every night the sun sets and the moon rises.
Every night the sun shines on the moon.
Somewhere in the world the moon shines down on an ocean or a lake.
And I wonder if you can imagine that lake or ocean with the moon shining down on it.
The tide perfection,
The waves gentle and calm.
The perfect strip of the moon's reflection laying delicately across the water.
You are peaceful and balanced.
As you notice that the water falls in and is released at the same time as your slow and rhythmic heart beats.
In and out.
The waves pull and go.
And you just sit and watch and be.
You be in this moment,
Be in this time.
And as you sit,
Soft,
Delicate sand which you hold in your hand is released through the gaps between your fingers.
Now take three deep breaths.
And with each breath release some wanted thoughts a little more.
Release anything that holds your mind away from choice.
Allow those thoughts to escape.
Allow those worries,
Those fears to go.
And ask yourself if those thoughts really,
Truly matter.
If it's in the past,
Can you change it?
If it's in the future,
Can you predict it?
The answer to both of those questions is no.
So let those worries and let those fears drift away.
Let them escape from you.
Let them go with the sand,
Release them to dust.
You don't own the past,
You don't even own the future.
The only time you ever own is now,
This very moment here and now.
And here and now it's just you.
Just you and the universe.
The universe and you.
Everything is here for you.
The moon and the stars,
The sun and the ocean,
They're here for you.
And right now as you have your eyes closed,
Perhaps you can see and imagine what I'm telling you.
When you see,
You have the whole universe within you.
All you have to do is close your eyes.
You are the beautiful moon.
You are the precious sun.
You are the perfect ocean.
You are the delicate air.
You are all creation.
You are the universe and the universe is you.
You hold all you need within you,
You hold it all.
Each night without the sun,
The moon would be dark.
That could be like life itself.
Without lightness we can't experience darkness.
Without darkness we can't experience lightness.
Without stars we can't see the darkness of the deep night sky.
Without cold we can't feel warmth.
Without joy we can't feel pain.
Without pain we can't feel joy.
The universe offers us contrast.
Two ways of looking,
Two ways of feeling when tails are down,
Heads are up.
We can focus on the dark sky or we can focus on the moon that lights it up.
For we have choice and we have guidance from the universe.
The universe that is without us,
Yet within us.
Our souls are connected to the universe.
You are connected.
You are as powerful as the moon and the ocean but sometimes that power can feel weak and you can feel disconnected and that may have happened in the past and it may have lasted for a time of which you wouldn't have chosen.
Perhaps it's because you were looking at the darkness of the night and stared at the brightness of the moon.
But you have a choice now.
You can choose where your focus is to lie and each morning you wake,
You rise,
Your heart beats,
Your blood flows.
Here is another day created for you by your own internal connection to the universe.
Your universe choosing you again to wake,
To make change,
To make a difference,
To make choice.
You are connected,
You are everything and everything is you.
Everything you see within nature is a part of you and a part of you is nature.
You are perfection,
Perfection is you.
Everything you need is within you and within you is all you need.
The universe chose you.
You were chosen.
You were wanted.
You are wanted.
You were chosen to live the life of your dreams.
This is your life.
This is it.
This is all you are.
All,
All is you.
You are everything.
Connected on the outside,
Connected on the inside.
You are your universe and your universe is you.
See your life through the contrast of the universe.
Thank you for trusting me with love and with light.
Namaste.
