Welcome,
Welcome again.
It's so good to be with you.
Thanks for spending this time with me as well.
So let's start like we typically do,
You guessed it,
With the breath.
Becoming aware of the quality of the breath.
Allowing that breath to settle the mind.
And becoming aware of the heart.
As that sun in our chest.
Ever present and ultimately unshakable.
And let's practice the conscious breathing that we did at the end of the last day.
And we consciously inhale,
Hold,
Exhale and hold.
And let's begin with an inhale,
Slowly and deeply.
Holding at the top.
And exhaling fully,
Relaxing,
Surrendering,
Holding.
And inhaling once again,
Full,
Deep,
Opening,
Hold.
And exhale,
Exhale,
Exhale.
Holding.
And inhaling again,
Fully with the chest open,
The shoulders open from the bottom of the diaphragm to the top of the chest and holding.
And exhaling fully,
Maybe with a sigh,
Letting it all out to the bottom of this lungs and holding.
Inhaling fully and easily this time.
Relaxed,
Holding.
Exhaling.
And holding.
And now returning to a natural breath.
In today's practice,
We will open to the divine light that shines out from within us,
Diving deep into the heart.
So let us become aware of the heart as a sun.
Seeing it as a warm golden star in the center of our chest.
And with every breath,
We'll allow the sun to start to grow and expand.
With every breath,
It pulsates and becomes a movement such that it grows in size and in intensity.
With every breath,
We open and we allow the heart to open.
With every breath,
We surrender.
With every breath,
We allow this sun who is us to expand to the point when it has gotten so large that it encompasses the entire physical body.
We can see the physical body sitting in the center of this sun,
Being absorbed by the sun.
As this sun shines out into the world around us.
And with every breath,
The sun grows in its warmth and in its quality of love,
Which is its state.
Love is our state.
And love shines naturally.
With every breath,
The intensity and the brightness of this sun grows,
Becoming more and more vibrant and vital.
Noticing how unshakable we are when we identify as the sun.
By using our imagination and our visualization,
Let us see one relationship in our life that is a challenge.
And let us imagine shining a light onto that relationship.
We may notice a contraction.
We may notice a difficulty or a situation that we may feel like we cannot control.
And yet imagine a beam of light shining upon that person.
And the beam of light is the relationship,
Meaning our responsibility and their responsibility,
A tube of light.
In which we each offer different qualities to the relationship,
So we shine our light into the relationship and into the person without trying to control the person.
We simply shine the light in our part of the relationship.
And let us activate certain qualities that we'd like to see in the relationship from us.
Maybe we'd like to see more patience,
More understanding or compassion,
More care.
Whatever quality it may be,
Let us activate that quality with our intention and shine that light into that relationship,
Using the power of our heart.
And now let's choose another relationship that might be challenging.
They have their part,
We have ours,
And the relationship is between the two.
So let us shine a ray of light into that relationship and activate any certain qualities that we'd like to be in that relationship.
Maybe there's kindness that needs to be there.
Maybe there's politeness.
Maybe we need to feel empowered in that relationship,
More powerful,
More confident,
More able to speak our truth.
Shine that intention as a beam of light into that relationship.
And now simply through our intention,
Let us shine this light into every relationship in our life.
Just like the sun has an infinite amount of rays in it,
So do we.
In this nonlinear way,
We shine our light through our intention to uplift and transform every relationship in our life.
And let us breathe consciously as this sun.
With a conscious inhale,
Hold,
Exhale,
Hold,
Inhale,
Hold,
Exhale,
Hold.
And let us simply be for a few moments,
Allowing the light of the heart and the sun of the heart to expand into every relationship.
Allowing the grace of life to do its work.
And trusting the faith that we have in life to do what needs to be done.
Surrendering in our humility.
Allowing in our tenderness.
Being open in our innocence.
And now we shine our light into any circumstance in our life that no longer serves us.
Maybe it's a situation in our finances or in a role,
A job,
Or a career in our life.
Maybe it's a situation with our physical health that no longer serves us.
And let us shine this light into all and any of the circumstances that no longer serve.
With the conscious breath,
Inhaling,
Holding,
Exhaling,
Holding,
Inhaling,
Holding,
Exhaling,
Holding,
Inhaling.
Holding.
Exhaling.
Holding.
And dropping the conscious breathing and allowing ourselves to return naturally to our breath as we rest in silence.
Allowing.
Surrendering.
Naturally accepting.
In humility.
Tenderness.
Innocence.
Openness.
Faith.
The grace of life that surrounds us.
Seeing ourselves as the sun.
Full and complete,
Capable,
Perfect.
All of this as our potential activated in the now moment and its presence.
