Put Down Your Burden

Closing your eyes and breathing, you will be led to a place where you will find so many have let go of any burden they may carry. You can place yours there as well. Having done so, you can return refreshed and free as long as you allow yourself to be.

Put down your burden.

I want you to close your eyes and breathe.

Just take the time now to really feel each breath as it fills your lungs and circulates to every part of your body.

This is the universe coming to you.

The very atoms you breathe all originally come from stars.

From the stars to you,

To your blood,

To your cells.

Every part of you is enriched every minute by the stars themselves.

Every part of you is in equilibrium with all there is.

Inhale,

Exhale,

Every beat of your heart,

Every breath you take,

You are part of it all.

Every breath you take brings you closer and closer to where you came from.

Every breath,

Every beat of your heart brings you closer to who you are,

Who you've always wanted to be.

Now that you are so relaxed,

So in tune with all there is,

Just leave your body here and come with me.

Come walk with me for just a little while.

Yes,

I agree you do look a little weary,

But it is not far and you will be so glad you did.

As we walk down this country lane you can see just how green it is out here.

Tall grass by the road,

Trees not far away.

Isn't it nice that the road builders chose to leave the trees so close to this laneway and not clear cut all around the path?

You can hear the river just over there in the trees,

Can't you?

The sunlight is so warm and inviting you can almost hear that as well.

Yes,

And the birds and the gentle drone of insects at a distance.

It is such a peaceful path.

We are nearly there.

Just up ahead on the right is a stone bench.

You can see it now.

That is where we're going today.

And all of that stuff on the left that you see there,

Well,

Locals tell me it looks like modern art so they just leave it there.

Every year there seems to be more of it,

But no one bothers it.

In a way it is sort of a sacred space.

Yes,

Some time ago even I left my things there.

As we are at the bench now we can rest.

Before we do you can put the burden you are carrying just across the laneway with all the other stuff.

It doesn't matter how long you have been carrying your burden.

It doesn't matter what it is or where it came from.

It matters not how big it is,

What color,

Shape,

Or anything.

It doesn't matter who told you that the burden was yours.

None of that matters now.

Just do what you need to do to take off your burden and put it down with all the other stuff just there.

Yes,

You are so right.

It looks like everyone who ever passed this way left their burden there.

Yes,

It is quite a pile of stuff people have left here.

Well,

It may seem funny but the locals like this stuff here.

They say it reminds them of all the things they used to carry.

And now doesn't it look so artful,

Each burden placed with care by someone and then just left?

Yes,

You're right.

In time the grass and forest will overgrow the whole thing,

Returning this space to nature.

With yours now added to the collection,

Step back to the bench of me and look at how it seems to match everything already there.

Doesn't it look like it belongs here in this growing sculpture,

This monument of freedom that so many have contributed to?

Come sit with me now on this stone bench and feel how cool this stone is as it supports and comforts your upper legs,

Your hips,

Your lower back,

Your middle back,

And your shoulders.

Enjoy how good it feels to finally sit and rest without that burden you have carried for so long.

Yes,

You are right.

This little table set with tea is for us.

Have all you like.

The tea is so fragrant,

So refreshing as it goes down.

The tea is just right to nourish your soul.

Have all you need and begin to feel the strength return to you.

Sit back,

Feel the breeze,

Hear the sound of the water moving behind us,

The birds.

As you continue to sip your tea,

Enjoy the hummingbirds as they visit the flowers nearby,

The flowers that seem to fill the air with their relaxing natural scents.

Yes,

It is so calm here,

So peaceful,

And yes that is one of the hummingbirds that has gently touched down on your shoulder.

You must be so relaxed now and so calm to have one of these busy little creatures to seek a little rest with you.

How delightful you feel so peaceful here too.

Maybe it is the light,

But you look younger without that burden.

You're actually smiling and I haven't seen you this relaxed in a while.

Feel existence without the burden.

If you put down your teacup and tell the hummingbird you want to stand,

Of course you can get up and stretch.

Reach for the beautiful sky above you,

Then gently roll down your spine and place your hands in front of you.

Feel the grass bend down under your palms and then straighten.

Stretch and flex.

Enjoy how it feels to be just you again,

No burden,

Just you as you were always meant to be.

Hold out your arms and breathe so deeply.

Feel you just being you.

How marvelous.

Now come and sit with me and look across at the modern art gallery there.

See how your burden seems to belong there.

Doesn't it look better than on your back?

Don't you feel you have carried it long enough and doesn't it seem so right you have come here today to make your own contribution to the monument of personal freedom?

See how it feels.

It is time for us to go now.

You can walk away from your burden leaving it where it will be just another curious piece of art.

We need to go back now and you can be you without that burden.

There is no reason you cannot be like that always now.

You,

Experiencing you,

Free of any weight or encumbrance,

Just you.

It has to feel so wonderful.

You are free to choose how you travel from here on out.

Be the lightness of the hummingbird,

Free to dart and soar so beautiful,

So light.

Tell me how it feels to walk back along the lane with me.

As we come with inside of our starting point you have had such a beautiful experience today.

Not everyone gets to feel what it is like just to be who they are.

Free of all they have chosen to carry for so long.

But you have done so.

You got to stretch and glow to relax and be one with a beautiful setting.

Being just you as you were always meant to be.

So free.

Now as we come back to this time,

This space,

This body,

You can bring that special place with you in your heart.

Every time you feel any weight coming on you can just touch your heart and go back to that special place where you can leave it all behind.

It is all up to you and you can experience it whenever you wish.

Just touch your heart.

Allow yourself to go and it will be so.

Just because you allow it,

It will be so.

Now as you come back to this body,

This time,

This space with your breathing back to normal,

Your heart beat normal,

Your soul locked in place,

You will always be that beauty and the beauty will be you.

As you fully occupy your body now in this time,

This place,

And for days to come walk in beauty as free as you wish,

As light as you desire.

Walk just as who you are.

So beautiful.

So you.

Welcome back.
