Whenever you fall back and enter the sweetness of non-doing,
A zone of repose or receptivity to sleep,
It is a kind of death practice,
A space to practice being at home in the unknown,
To build your capacity,
To rest unassured.
This strength you have to soften into quiet hidden superpower.
To practice being at ease in the dark.
It's built into your body every single day,
Both literally and symbolically.
You are already embodying it right now by your willingness to stop what you are doing,
Release control,
And surrender into the creative void.
And to do that in the face of turbulence,
Uncertainty,
In the face of highs and lows,
That is truly magical.
This is a sacred space to nurture this innate ability within you,
To not only cultivate peace in not knowing,
But to see that mystery as an essential form of energy,
And to be charged and nourished by that energy,
Like the freshness of beginner's mind,
Full of open space and potential.
So worry not if you don't hear or can't feel something,
Or if something I say doesn't fully register.
Remember that not knowing is teeming with possibility and vitality.
Recline in any comfortable,
Supportive position.
You may wish to cover your eyes with a dark cloth.
As external focus retreats,
Something magnetic inside opens.
Consciousness free to expand into its oceanic nature.
Each wave of breath embracing the wholeness of you.
Each exhale gently releasing pressure in all directions.
Deep support from the heart of the earth.
She can hold the full nature of you as eyelids rest.
Imagine the nectar of the moon soaking and soothing the orbs of the eyes,
Cooling reflective.
Receive the luminous glow of your larger,
Vaster timelessness.
You contain multitudes.
You are a unique space through which the infinite expresses.
Feel the space your body occupies and the space all around you.
Rest in freedom from all intentions.
Each exhale gently releasing pressure in all directions.
Desires and ambitions invited to soften into their roots like a warm,
Radiant glow.
Inner illumination sparks that can only happen in the dark.
Feel the touch of breath at the floor of the nostrils.
Breathe into the divinity you are.
The more than enoughness you are.
Feel your hands breathing.
Fingertips breathing.
Can you feel the consciousness in the fingertips?
Breathe into the pathway from fingertips to heart.
Inhalation clearing the channel.
Exhalation easing the space all around.
Feel the soles of your feet breathing.
Tips of your toes breathing.
The consciousness in the toe tips.
Breathe into the pathway from the toe tips to the heart of the pelvis.
Inhalation clearing the pathway.
Exhalation easing the space all around.
Feel your hips breathing.
Breathe into the pathway from the hips to the jaw.
And from the jaw back down to the hips.
Lower jaw releasing slightly slack.
Inhalation clearing the pathway.
Exhalation easing the space all around.
Tailbone breathing.
Sacrum breathing.
Breathe the pathway from sacrum to the back of the neck.
And the back of the neck back down to the sacrum.
Spinal fluids washing up and down.
Plumping the cushions of the vertebrae touched by the pulse of prana.
Inhalation clearing the channel.
Exhalation relaxing the space all around.
Feel the belly breathing.
Breathe into the pathway from belly to the space between the eyebrows.
And the space between the eyebrows back down to the belly.
Inhalation clearing the pathway.
Exhalation easing the space all around.
Now breathe in and out through the third eye center of consciousness.
Breathe through the throat center of consciousness.
Breathing from the heart of the heart.
Inhale from the heart of the heart.
Exhaling through the tips of the toes.
Quiet breath streams merging into the ocean of consciousness.
Beauty beyond form.
Vibrant stillness.
Timeless.
Indestructible.
