First breath in,
And let that all the way out.
Next breath in,
And release.
Magical third breath in,
And release.
And settle into a comfortable but conscious rate of breathing.
Let yourself feel a moment of gratitude and awe for the magic,
For the miracle of breath.
Your body knows just exactly what to do with the air you breathe in.
The world knows exactly what to do with the air you breathe out.
A little miracle that happens every,
Several times every minute.
And we'll begin as always by visualizing a path before us,
The path of earth.
On either side,
There's grass,
There's trees,
There's any type of foliage that your imagination conjures up.
This is your journey into nature.
It could be rolling hills and waving grass,
Or beautiful old trees.
The beginning of this path is yours to create.
You come to your feet and begin to walk reverently,
Confidently.
Feeling the earth warm on your feet,
Or cool on your feet.
However you imagine this connection to earth that feels good to you,
That feels good to your body.
You make your way along this path.
You have no concern about where the path is leading.
Only that you're being here,
Being fully present.
Feeling the breeze on your face.
Feeling the sun.
Smelling the earth,
And the trees,
And the flowers.
You can hear the breeze in the leaves,
The sound of woodland creatures,
The song of birds.
There's no time here,
It's just you and nature.
Feeling perfectly at ease,
Strolling along,
Knowing that you have all the time in the world.
And as you're walking,
You'll notice that the path begins to climb.
It turns to the right and turns to the left,
And each turn is just a little bit more of an incline,
So that you're making your way up a mountain.
It's not hard,
It's not difficult,
So your body is weightless and strong and agile.
You can just make your way easily up and up and up along this mountain path.
You can see rocks,
You can see other mountains in the distance as you go higher and higher,
Making your way gently and easily along this mountain path.
And as you reach the top,
You suddenly see the entire sky open before you,
As you step onto the top of this mountain.
You realize that you're on a perfectly flat surface that you can see in every direction.
You look straight ahead of you to the west and see the setting sun.
Turn all the way around behind you and see the full moon.
And you have this understanding that here at the top of the earth,
There's nothing that separates you from spirit,
From all that is.
Your body is bathed in the magic of all the elements.
Make your way to the very center of this clearing.
You'll see the sacred fire.
And as always,
You can feel the energy,
You can feel the presence of your brothers and sisters all coming to join you as you take your seat around this beautiful community fire that's here just for you,
Just for us,
Just for this beautiful celebration.
Make your way and take your time and sit on the ground.
You can conjure up a chair or a throne or a fur or a giant mushroom.
Indulge yourself,
Indulge your imagination.
Let yourself feel happy and free and powerful,
Very,
Very top of the earth,
Closer to the stars than any other creature on the planet.
And when you've found your way to the seat that you've chosen,
Imagine that you are reaching out with your left hand and your right hand and taking the hand of the spirit being beside you.
That's your brother,
Your sister,
Some member of this collective,
Some brilliant,
Pure soul who has decided to be in this moment,
In this intention,
Magnifying our love,
Magnifying our power,
Magnifying the peace and confidence and creativity that we bring to this world by joining together with one another deliberately,
Receiving,
Magnifying and sharing the brilliance of divine love and positive regard.
As we're here in this place of celebration,
Just imagine that the sky is brilliant with stars,
With planets,
With galaxies,
Magical dancing lights.
You can feel the vastness of space sort of pressing in around your body,
Feeling as if you were one with the entire universe,
That you could reach your hand out and touch a distant planet,
So powerful,
So connected,
So at one with one another and with the entire universe.
Imagine that being in this place,
Being in this connection,
Being in this feeling of reigning over the entire universe,
This pulsing power in your body and in this circle,
That imagine that we can,
With our intention,
Extend this circle,
Extend this power,
Extend this feeling of connection until it embraces our entire globe,
That we have the power to bless every single human being,
Every single living soul on this planet with this magic,
With this love and peace and clarity and power.
Even if they are completely unaware or able to open to this magic only a tiny bit,
Our intention,
Our belief in the power of this love,
Our belief in the magic of this connection has weight,
Has impact,
Has so much power to nourish every living atom.
Take just another moment to relish this connection.
It completely encompasses the globe,
So strong,
So powerful,
So pure and confident,
Completely integrated in all parts of ourselves,
All parts of this world that we live in,
All of the elements connected to one another.
Imagine that you are just bringing yourself back into your body,
Sort of shaking free this brilliant ball of love and energy that we've created around the globe,
That we've left it in place.
We've made this creation,
We've added this love,
We've created this protective circle around our globe that's so full of love and nourishment and pulsing with light and positive energy.
We're going to stand up from our place around the sacred fire.
We'll let go the hand of our brother and sister,
But knowing that we are in no way disconnected,
That we are always connected and at the same time we are sovereign,
We are strong in our individuality,
We are secure in our own power,
And we are always tapped into the collective.
We say thank you to the sacred fire and turn,
Make our way back down the mountain path,
Bringing the magic of this mountaintop experience with us.
With each step down the mountain,
We feel this feeling more and more infused into our bodies,
Into our memory,
Into our vision of who we are on this planet,
Living these lives.
With each step down the mountain,
This feeling becomes more and more embodied,
More a part of us.
We can feel it from the soles of our feet,
Along every inch of our skin,
Tingling in our fingertips,
Buzzing in our mind,
Bringing a smile to our face,
A confident feeling of strength to our shoulders and our spine.
We're emerging down this mountain path different than we were when we left,
More integrated in all the parts of ourselves,
More connected to the inside and outside,
Integrated as one,
Mind,
Body and spirit in harmony,
Beautiful team,
Creating an amazing life.
Make your way back to your seat,
Wherever you began.
Settle back into your body with gratitude and appreciation and joy.
We'll close by taking three long,
Slow deep breaths in together again.
With each breath,
Just let yourself come back into the present,
Embodying this feeling,
Remembering that this is a state of mind that is available to you always,
That in one second you can close your eyes,
Bring yourself back to the state of mind,
Claim it,
Put it on,
Bring it with you into the next step of your life.
First breath in,
Release.
Next breath in,
Release.
Magical,
Third breath in,
And release.
Namaste.
