Just take some time to relax now.
This is your time.
Make yourself comfortable.
Let your body sink into the surface supporting you.
Allow those eyes to close.
I'd like you to picture yourself in a small clearing in a bush.
You are standing on a large,
Flat,
Smooth rock.
Notice its colors,
Its shape.
Feel the rock firm beneath your feet.
Tune into its vibrations,
Those tiny sparks of energy from the earth in the soles and toes of your feet.
Feel the energy flow up your legs,
Into your pelvis,
Your abdomen,
Your chest,
Over your shoulders and down your arms,
Into your hands and fingers,
Up into the neck and the head,
Filling you with a strong,
Nurturing earth energy.
Notice the heightened awareness of your senses,
The sights and smells of the bush beyond the clearing.
The leaves,
The branches,
Flowers,
Insects,
Birds and maybe even animals.
The sun filtered through the leaves and trees,
The sky above.
Beyond your rock is a path of similar,
Smaller,
Flat,
Smooth rocks,
Leaving the clearing and entering the bush,
Like pavers in a garden.
Now move over and step onto the first paver.
Stand for a moment.
Feel the subtle change in the vibration,
A sense of strength,
Calmness and relaxation.
Step onto the next.
And the next.
And the next.
Deeper.
Deeper into the bush.
With each new paver,
The rising energy relaxes you more and more,
Filling you with a sense of peace,
Comfort and safety.
Become aware now of the darkening of the bush until only the path of the pavers,
Now gold and silver,
Is visible.
Keep following the path as it weaves deeper into the darkness.
At the last paver,
The path stops.
There is nothing in front of you except darkness.
Look back.
Everything is behind you.
But still you feel safe and comfortable standing on your paver,
Connected to the earth's energy.
You can feel the past behind you,
A confusion of events and emotions.
It plays like a fugue chasing you up and down.
You feel its agitation,
Its highs and lows,
Its indecisions,
Its questions.
Let that which is behind you fade into the background.
Before you is nothing.
Focus on it.
Focus on the space.
Still you feel safe and comfortable standing on your paver,
Connected to the earth's energy.
Reach out your hand into the darkness,
Into the space.
Feel the density,
Soft and velvet,
Safe.
Feel the cessation of the earth's energy.
Feel the silence,
The peace,
Safe.
On your hand,
The fingers,
The palm,
The wrist.
Bring your hand back.
Feel the earth's energy.
Focus now on the space before you.
Nothing.
Darkness.
Space and silence.
Peace and silence.
Safe.
Take a deep breath.
Trust.
Step off the paver into the space,
Into the safety of the earth.
Feel the space.
Feel the space.
Feel the space.
Feel the space.
Feel the space.
Feel the space.
Step off the paver into the space,
Into the safety of the darkness.
Perhaps you may experience a brief moment of falling.
Then you are supported by the density of it.
Soft and gentle.
Suspended in nothing.
Lie back in the arms of darkness.
Safe.
Protected.
Let the space flow through your fingers.
Liquid.
Cool.
Warm.
Relax into the comfort of the darkness.
The gentleness.
The lightness.
The silence.
The peace.
The love.
No boundaries.
No tension.
Relax and float.
Weightless.
Timeless.
In darkness.
In space.
There is a power in the darkness of space.
So much power.
Now.
Feel the power of space.
A strong,
Gentle,
Calm,
Peaceful power.
Let the power fill you until you and the darkness are one.
See beyond the darkness.
You are lightness.
You are darkness.
You are space.
You are silence.
You are peace.
You are power.
The extreme power of the darkness and space is love.
You are love.
They are all one.
You are everything.
You are nothing.
You are space.
Rest in it.
Trust in it.
Be.
If you are searching for answers,
Ask now.
Then listen carefully.
You may hear the answer.
Perhaps now.
Tomorrow.
Next week.
Or when you least expect it.
Take your time now.
Just be.
It's time now to bring yourself back.
Feel the paver beneath your feet.
Bring with you the power.
The peace.
The silence.
The love.
The trust.
Feel the energy of the earth flow into you and blend with them.
Look ahead now.
The pavers lead into the darkness that is now light.
Follow them through the bush.
One at a time.
Back.
Back.
Back to this time and this place.
And when you are ready,
Open your eyes.
