On your behalf conclusion.
After you please take out the curtain.
Pulpitations to Saturn were With the fading of the sound of the bell,
Let's take a moment to settle into a posture supportive of your practice.
If you are seated,
Find yourself balanced,
Connecting to the earth with a solid base,
Allowing the spine to extend,
Following its natural curves up towards the sky.
Allow the face to soften and the eyes to close.
Noticing the pulse of the rhythm of life flowing through your body.
The breath,
The beating heart,
The temperature of the hands,
And the way the feet have come into contact with the floor.
Including in awareness now any internal sensations you might be aware of tingling in the extremities.
And turn towards the question,
Can I be with this right now?
Including in awareness any kind of reactivity to the awareness of the internal state of the body,
The body and the mind,
The thought generating mind,
And any emotional reactivity associated with what is discovered.
Can I be with this right now?
The voices inside and the voices outside,
Just as things are.
Just this,
And only this.
The sounds and the silence between the sounds.
The open breath,
The out breath,
The space between the breaths,
The space of no breath,
Of not even waiting,
Of being.
And having settled into the space of being,
Of listening,
Of patience and care.
Inviting into awareness the presence,
The image of an ally,
A friend,
Maybe a human friend or an animal friend.
Sensing the presence nearby,
Their energy connecting with yours.
Feeling their essence,
Their presence.
And noticing what that has activated for you internally.
The quality of being now.
And holding the image of this being in your mind heart,
Body heart,
Body mind,
Wishing them well,
With the offering of these words,
May you be well.
May you be happy and healthy.
May you be free of fear,
Shame and doubt.
May your mind awaken and be free.
May you always have the courage to lean into the oncoming wind.
And may the lights in the land of plenty shine on your heart and soul.
What would it mean for you to deepen your connection,
The intimacy of your connection with your animal or human ally right now?
What would that be like?
Holding them close.
May you be well.
May you be happy and healthy.
May you be free of fear,
Shame and doubt.
May your mind awaken and be free.
May you always have the courage to lean into the oncoming wind.
And may the lights in the land of plenty shine on your heart today.
And now in the presence of your friend,
Turning the attention to yourself to include yourself or an image of yourself,
Maybe a childlike version of yourself or even a more grown up one or maybe just this one right now.
This you here now.
Turning towards yourself with tenderness and care and the offering of these words.
May I be well.
May I be happy and healthy.
May I be free of fear,
Shame and doubt.
May my mind awaken and be free.
May I always have the courage to lean into the oncoming wind.
And may the lights in the land of plenty shine on my heart today.
Allowing that to land with a deepening awareness of the body.
Continuing the connection with the allied friend.
And including in your heart minds both the image of your friend and yourself.
And offering these words for both.
May we be well.
May we both be happy and healthy.
May we be free of fear,
Shame and doubt.
May we always have the courage to lean into the oncoming wind.
And may the lights in the land of plenty shine on our hearts today.
Connected to the breath or the support of the earth.
Allowing us to open.
Allowing the eyes to open.
For shapes and light to reappear.
For sounds to filter in.
This sound.
