The garden at the center of the universe.
Today we are going to experience a very special place.
It is one you will remember.
It is unique and yet so easy to get to.
All you need to do to arrive is to breathe and let the simple and natural action of breathing take you all the way there and then back.
As you breathe in the day and breathe out the night.
In the day,
Out the night.
In the day,
Out the night.
Just let the perpetual motion of the cycling of day to night to day carry you so far.
It is to a place so familiar,
So special and it won't take long at all to get there.
We are going to where all the answers await your arrival.
We are going to the garden at the center of the universe.
So just allow yourself to breathe and to float and just follow your breathing to such a beautiful place so serene,
So colorful and so warm.
It hums quietly with the energy of all there is and it sparkles with the light of pure love.
As you breathe in the universe and free yourself to be a part of the overall,
We instantly come to that place you have always known.
It is so green and alive.
As you gently touch down in this verdant landscape,
You see and feel every kind of plant and every kind of animal.
You hear the waters of life bubbling so gently in the background.
You are welcomed by the knowing beings who inhabit this landscape.
They hold space for you now and beckon you to the table of community.
Here you take a seat at this table of presence where you feel the connection to all that have come before,
Those who are here now and those who will ever come.
It is a place of gentleness and the glow of such peace,
Such harmony.
From here you can see so clearly all there is,
All there was and all there will be.
You know you were meant to be here now.
As you raise your vision up and outward,
The first thing you see is that everything in the universe has two sides.
There is nothing that has just one side to it,
And you can instantly appreciate the natural symmetry of all there is.
It is what makes the universe the beautiful thing that it is.
It is in itself the most powerful teacher in existence.
The very structure of all there is holds the answer to everything.
It is everything.
Sitting here,
You know you are a part of this wholeness.
You know in order for there to be light,
There must be dark.
For cold,
Hot and for pain,
There is joy.
It becomes so clear that for you to know one,
You must experience the other because this symmetry is the fundamental building block of the universe.
Focusing deeper,
You see the blue sky that has been the covering for your life.
You see the fluffy clouds that accent it and bring so much.
The rainbows that occasionally come into view.
The dark sky of night that must follow the day.
The sky of storms.
You see it all and know these have been containing your life,
Enriching it,
Making it full.
Your whole life has been contained in this sky.
And now you can ask this beautiful wholeness,
Why the pain?
What does it hold for me?
The knowing comes to you that it is the pain that has directed your whole life.
It has made you conscious of the duality of all there is.
It has led you to be the healer because you know the pain that all experience.
It has led you to find the beautiful and bring it to so many who seek it.
It has given you the ability to give yourself to those who need you.
It is a gift.
The gift of hell has given you heaven and it is this heaven that you seek to share.
The gift you bring to so many springs from the despair you have known.
The gift of solitude has moved you to help others to find their place in the overall.
The gift of desolation has made it possible for you to offer so many the shelter of all you are.
The parched earth of loneliness has allowed you to find the spring of cool water of care that you make available to so many to sip.
As you take all of this in,
Knowing it is the fundamental truth,
You feel it is all worth it.
At last you know everything.
It is all just a way to show you who you are.
You are the love.
Because you have been there,
You can do so much for so many.
As they all stumble and struggle on their paths to knowing,
You,
With all you hold,
Can be someone to watch over them,
To pick them up when they fall and feed them when they are weak.
Because you have cried out to be heard,
You can listen to those who only need to speak.
It is the scars that mean you know how to heal.
The answer is love.
You are the love and sitting here in the garden at the center of the universe you look out and see so much.
You see everything,
Just as it is,
As it has always been,
And it always will be.
You see you.
You are all there is.
You are love.
Love is you.
Just be the love.
Be who you are,
Who we all are,
And when we all know this simple truth,
The pain will no longer be needed,
The teaching will be over.
The gift of hell can bring only heaven.
Your life plays such an important part for so many.
Everything you have ever been or will go through,
It is so worth it.
You turn the gift of hell into heaven for so many.
Be the light blue sky with fluffy clouds.
Be the rainbow that you are.
Be the love.
It is the only answer you will ever need.
Grasping this fundamental knowing,
You acknowledge everyone else in the garden for holding this space for you.
You place the knowing in your heart as you prepare to depart this special place you have known for so long.
As you come back to this body,
This time,
This space,
You rest the garden in your heart.
It will always be there.
It will remind you of the fundamental element of all there is.
It will remind you of your place at the very core of everything.
It will be the light and the warmth of love to carry you through any darkness,
Any cold,
And allow you to take the learnings they offer in peace and in love.
As you come back to this body,
In this time,
In this space,
You carry the knowing,
The confidence,
And the overall to sustain you through any circumstances your life may deliver.
This beauty is you,
And you are the beauty.
As you are now back in this body,
This time,
This space,
Breathing normally with your heart rate back to normal,
Your soul firmly in place.
As long as you allow,
You will always carry this garden,
Always walk in beauty.
Welcome back.
