Before we begin,
Take some time to find a comfortable place.
You can sit or lay down,
Whichever you prefer.
Once you are in a comfortable position,
Just take a moment to be mindful.
Be mindful of your breathing.
Mindful of the feel of your body.
Notice the sounds and smells and sights around you.
But notice without judgment.
You have no assignment.
Nothing to do besides be aware and open your mind.
Take a deep slow breath.
We will do this five times.
In through the nose,
Slowly expanding your belly on the in-breath.
Take in as much air as you can.
And then out through the mouth.
Push your stomach inward.
When we attempt to quiet the mind,
We become more aware of the hectic activity of mind.
Images,
Memories,
Fear,
Anger.
We are so full of mental activity,
So full of emotion.
There is no room for inner peace.
How can we become empty?
Emptiness is the abode of God.
Emptiness is the place where all the potential for creation lies before you.
It is a state of being completely open to the flow of divine energy.
How can the forces of nature enter into you if you have not prepared a place for them?
Think of your body.
It appears as solid matter,
But that is an illusion.
Your body is mostly water.
Now think of the ocean of your body.
Know that this is just another illusion.
This ocean is made of cells.
Think of the cells in your body.
They are made of molecules.
It's just another illusion.
The molecules are made of atoms.
And the atoms are small universes mostly comprised of empty space.
Emptiness is ever-present,
The only reality.
And all of creation comes pouring out of emptiness,
Out of infinity.
There is no time here,
No yesterday or tomorrow.
So let regret go.
Let anxiety go.
Let fear go.
Let anger go.
They only linger because you cling to them.
Because you believe them to be the foundation of reality.
But once you truly release them,
They will never return.
Embrace emptiness.
Embrace infinity.
For it is here that the creator is waiting.
When you are empty,
You are one with all of creation.
And you are one with the creator.
One with all worlds.
Let your soul sink into emptiness,
Into silence,
Into complete calm,
Into complete inner peace.
In a few seconds I'll count to five.
Let me open your eyes.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
