So sitting quietly with my eyes open,
I let the muscles in my body relax.
My feet,
My legs,
My stomach,
My back,
My shoulders,
My neck,
And even the muscles in my face.
I become aware of every part of my physical body and very consciously I let every part of me become calm and relaxed.
As I do this,
I sense my own separate identity.
I begin to be aware of the power,
The mastery that I possess.
I can feel the source of energy in the center of my forehead.
I focus on this.
I am a spiritual being.
I am a being of light.
I am a soul.
I am quite distinct and separate from my physical body.
In fact,
I now understand that I existed before this body was born.
This body,
This vehicle,
Has a moment,
A taint of creation and at some time this body will come to its end of its lifespan.
But I,
The being of light,
Transcend time.
I existed before this body.
I will continue to exist after this body perishes.
Aware of my own eternity,
My own immortality,
My perception of myself changes.
I begin to appreciate who I am.
I am infinitesimal and yet infinite.
I am able to be quite detached from this body of mine.
I see my body separate from me.
Now that I can experience this detachment,
I begin to access the peace that is within I,
The eternal soul.
This is my natural state.
Peace belongs to me.
And this awareness of peace,
Peace reaches every part of my physical instrument.
Peace reaches out,
Touching other people.
Peace spreads out into the universe.
The.
