Breathe,
Just breathe,
And let your body unfold in peace with every breath.
Turn inside,
And take a moment to express gratitude for all that is in your life.
Imagine now a tiny light opening in your center.
The light is flowing with colors,
White,
Yellow,
Orange,
And red.
And this light seems to form in an area of your body that feels delicate.
An area where you've carried pain or hurt.
Yet,
As the light shines,
It absorbs the hurt,
Taking away the sting of the feeling.
The light glows,
And after a moment,
You understand that the light is really a tiny flame.
A flame of energy.
The flame dances from side to side,
And slowly begins to grow,
Giving off a feeling of strength,
Power rising from the inside.
As it touches hurt,
Pain,
Or grief,
It swallows the feelings,
Leaving ashes that simply float away.
And it replaces them with strength.
Soon,
The energy flame has danced and grown all through your core,
Radiating pure strength.
And as it grows,
There may be a part of you that is hesitant.
A part of you that questions just how strong you are.
The flame invites you to embrace all of you.
It whispers within that you have incredible strength.
Strength beyond your imagination.
And as the flame shines,
It gives off more power.
You notice that its edges begin to change,
To fan out in different directions.
The flame transforms slowly,
Until you notice what appears to be wings opening on each side,
And the shape of a head.
And after a moment,
The shape evolves into a bird.
A phoenix.
The bird of fire and power.
Now,
Imagine that this beautiful bird of fire,
This bird of strength and energy,
Enfolds all of you in its wings.
And then slowly,
You and the phoenix rise,
Lifting above the house into the night sky.
The air is cool,
And you feel completely comfortable with this powerful energy carrying you higher.
Against the night sky,
The fiery phoenix shines like a beacon of hope for you,
Glowing brighter than the moon and stars.
Then the phoenix pauses and opens its wings.
And as it does,
You realize your arms are the fiery wings.
You and the phoenix are one.
Suspended against the backdrop of the night,
You feel the blaze of energy.
The strength and passion of the phoenix as it courses through you,
Empowering you.
With this bold new energy,
You,
The phoenix,
Glide back to your room,
To a welcome bed.
As you land,
The wings of fire fold inward,
Ready for you to call on them again at any time.
You understand that you are a phoenix with great strength and power,
And you can rise from the ashes again and again.
Nothing keeps you down.
Namaste.
Beautiful.
