Welcome.

As you begin to relax your body and your mind,

I would like to take this opportunity to give thanks to Manuel Portillo for providing the beautiful soundscape that we have for this meditation.

Let's sigh out together.

Allowing the body to relax down and down.

Bringing the mind to a blank canvas and allowing the breath to soften.

Softening the facial muscles.

Let the eyelids relax down.

Becoming heavier and heavier.

Feel your whole body sigh out.

As you surrender to this moment.

As your arms become limp and your legs loose.

Feel your belly sighing out.

Easing out.

Relaxing any tension that was there.

Let's drop the awareness now deep into the center of the belly.

Just noticing.

And slowly you start to become aware of a beautiful warm sensation in the center of your belly.

And it's growing and it's growing.

This fire in your belly.

You notice.

There's a beautiful,

Deep,

Rich,

Orange,

Red.

And it's glowing.

And it's glowing.

Let's breathe into this beautiful fire.

And exhaling there.

So that the glow grows.

And breathing into its center again.

And exhaling as the glow grows some more.

Breathing in again.

And this time as you exhale,

You notice hundreds and thousands of golden spotlets radiating from this glowing center.

And they become a fireball in the center of your being.

And so you breathe into it very gently again.

And exhaling once more,

You notice more spotlets.

These little,

Tiny,

Glowing,

Golden particles that are filling your entire physical body.

And each one is like a tiny ball of fire.

Your fire,

Your spirit,

Your shen.

The more you breathe into your belly and exhale from there,

The more your shen grows and grows.

Your whole physical body now is radiating with spiritual fire.

Now you notice that they are traveling further afield,

Filling your metaphysical body as well.

And as the breath settles now to a soft,

Gentle flow,

This golden glow that stems from the rich fire in your belly is filling your entire being.

It's giving you the vitality that you need.

It's strengthening your qi.

And it's opening your heart.

It's moved the awareness now into the center of your heart sphere.

It's breathe these beautiful,

Soft,

Gentle breaths.

These beautiful,

Golden sparks.

Golden particles of life into the heart.

Breathing into your heart,

Then exhaling from your heart.

Breathing into the heart,

Exhale from the heart.

As you notice your heart center grow and grow.

And with your heart center now rich and full,

You intentionally drop into its center the seeds of compassion,

Forgiveness,

And love.

Let's breathe into the heart center once more.

Feel this radiating love and the compassion and the forgiveness flow from the heart into the left shoulder,

To the right shoulder,

To the right shoulder,

And down the left and right arm into the hand,

Pulling up the entire palm of the hand,

All the fingers.

Now taking the left hand and placing it over your heart,

And placing the right hand on top of the left.

Breathe in,

Absorb into your heart center,

Once again,

Those frequencies of love,

Compassion,

Forgiveness,

From your palms into your heart.

And exhaling from the heart,

Down the arms,

Into the hands,

Breathing into the heart,

Exhaling into the hand.

Let this rhythm and flow continue,

Relaxing the whole body,

Relaxing the mind.

Perhaps you would like to set the intention to maintain and hold this beautiful glow that you have cultivated within and around your being.

And if ever you feel you need to activate it again,

Place your hands over your heart center,

Place your hands over your heart center,

Feel that beautiful current flowing from your heart,

Down your arms,

From your hands into your heart.

Know that it is always there with you,

And always will be.

Until we meet again,

Do take care.
