Even before knowing why,
Before knowing what to look for,
You are here.
A place beyond place,
Where you have nothing to do,
Nowhere to be,
Nothing to prove.
You can settle here.
You can rest here.
You can breathe.
Just breathe.
Take a deep breath.
Take another breath.
And let it go.
Now close your eyes if you want,
Or just soften your gaze on something that belongs to you,
On something familiar,
Maybe your hands.
Find a comfortable position and let your body find support underneath you,
Behind you,
Or within you.
Just breathe.
Nothing to do.
Nowhere to go.
You have time here.
You have space.
You are heard here.
Listen.
In the distance,
You hear a sound of waves,
Like a calm,
Warm sea,
Lazily advancing and retreating,
Advancing and retreating.
The peaceful rhythm of the sea continues in the background.
And meanwhile,
That same rhythm comes towards you from above.
No longer a sound now,
But a light.
Warm,
Golden,
Alive.
A light that knows its way to you.
This pulsing flow of golden light approaches slowly and reaches you,
But there it stops.
It waits for your permission,
Even just to touch you.
And you recognize its respectful,
Loving,
Gentle nature.
You feel its warmth.
A warmth the light radiates with the same slow,
Pulsing rhythm as the sea.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
The slow,
Pulsing rhythm of your breath.
The tide of your heart.
Your heart that now,
Suddenly,
You can almost feel moving in unison with everything else.
The sea.
The light.
The warmth.
Given its gentle nature,
You allow the light to touch you.
You give permission for it to wrap around and flow through you,
Knowing it will go where it's most needed.
Where love's intervention is most urgent.
And so the light enters and pervades your physical body.
Your energy body.
Nothing to say.
No instructions to give.
The light knows exactly what to do.
It settles where it's needed.
It pauses where it's required.
It softens what's hardened.
Frees what's been held.
No need to understand.
No need to name.
This is the light of flowing.
Of love returning.
Of joy expanding.
Pure,
Deserved freedom.
The light slides through your tissues.
Mixes with your blood.
Flows from head to toe and back.
Every organ.
Every cell.
Every ancient memory in your body feeds on the light that illuminates your entire being.
From center to periphery and beyond.
What is heavy becomes light within you.
What is still begins to move.
Whatever calls for help receives help and infinite love.
While the light merges with your blood and with you,
Breathe.
And as the golden light continues to flow within you,
Repeat out loud or in your mind,
I open to the rhythm of life.
I let love flow within me and all around me.
And I let joy move through me.
Because joy,
Love,
Life is what I am.
Joy,
Love,
Life is what I am.
Take another deep breath now.
Feel the warmth,
The flow of life sliding within your body.
Move your fingers a little bit.
Move your toes.
Relax.
Return to the feeling of what's supporting you.
The bed.
The couch.
To the solidity beneath you.
Behind you.
Within you.
You may want to take another deep breath.
Stretch a little bit.
Perhaps give yourself a gentle hug.
And when you're ready,
Knowing that joy,
Love and life is what you are,
Open your eyes.
