The freedom of emptiness.
If we can let go of the identities that we've collected for ourselves,
Mother,
Daughter,
Son,
Best friend,
Wife,
Partner,
Employee,
Team leader,
We can free ourselves from the constant expectations that we place upon our shoulders and the expectations put on us by others.
It becomes a habit even,
Almost a comfort to label ourselves further as stressed,
As frustrated,
Angry,
Depressed,
As a good or bad mother,
As an absent father,
As impatient.
We further label ourselves with broad and destructive judgments,
Like saying we're struggling with life.
There's an immense freedom in just being.
Empty,
Without boxes,
Devoid of perceptions that are completely made up.
These perceptions are telling us who we are,
Who or what we should be.
Rather,
We can free ourselves by seeing ourselves as only the beautiful,
Vast,
Empty,
Open sky,
Dwelling outside of boxes or constraining judgments that pull us into the darkness.
We are essentially empty with just the immense healing light of the open sky,
The white rays cleansing us.
Freeing us from the judgments that we've put upon ourselves,
Those judgments from others that we've internalized and made into our own identity.
We are essentially a bright,
White,
Loving energy.
Not the perceptions or the stories that we tell ourselves.
Not the views of others that have only been created by limited snapshots that someone perceives us to be.
Perceptions that we internalize that limit who we believe we are and limit what we can be.
Close over your eyes now,
My love,
And take a healing,
Deep,
Long breath in.
As we breathe out,
We let go fully,
Letting our shoulders drop,
Releasing our fingers and our toes.
A long,
Deep inhale,
Feeling it in our abdomen and then releasing even more.
As we continue these long,
Deep,
Releasing breaths,
We see a light entering through the middle of our forehead and spreading throughout our body,
Filling the body with each exhale.
A light of purification,
Cleansing,
Removing judgment,
Clearing the body and mind of who we've told ourselves we are,
Allowing for our beautiful,
Pure soul to shine.
Shining with each breath,
We are purified.
The light coming in,
Long,
Deep breath.
And spreading through on the exhale,
Burning through our past actions,
Cleansing the words we've spoken,
Purifying the karma that we've inherited and made ourselves.
There's cleansing breaths in the white light,
Healing the regrets of our life.
With each breath,
We are cleansed,
We are enlightened,
We are purified.
Breathe out long,
Healing breaths.
We are given an opportunity to refresh and restart with every inhale of light,
An exhale of releasing and letting go.
We are a pure,
White slate,
A beacon of light shining out to everyone and everything around us.
Continue to breathe,
Cleanse,
And let go.
An empty space,
A vast sky.
No limits,
No judgments,
No perceptions stopping us,
Freeing us to be the light,
Freeing us to be the joy and the love that we truly are.
Breathing in and letting go.
As we move forward with our day,
We will not hold judgments from the past in our head.
We will not limit ourselves by our own perceptions of what we've been told,
What we tell ourselves.
We are free to be loved.
We are free to be happy.
We are free to be at peace.
The freedom of emptiness allows us to have a cleansing,
Purified start to the next part of our journey.
