Imagine you are in your house,
In your favorite chair,
Lying on the floor or comfortable in your bed.
You close your eyes and think about the room you are in.
Within your mind's eye,
You picture the walls,
Ceiling,
Floor,
As if you are expanding into the size and shape of the room.
Imagine you are going into another room and then another until you have a sense of expanding into the size and shape of your entire house.
You might picture your house as if you were looking down from a helicopter.
Next,
Know this as your house,
As my house.
Bring to mind a house you previously lived in and after a moment of reflection think of that house also as my house.
If you like,
Go through the same expansion process of each room,
Expanding out to the walls,
Ceiling and floor and the entire house as this house also becomes my house.
Continue and recall a house you lived in as a child.
Go through a few of the rooms or focus on your bedroom and feel this house as my house.
Know as you are thinking that although each of these houses are different,
They all have the same feeling of being my house.
Acknowledge the feeling of being separate from the houses.
You are the subject that remains the same and the houses are the objects that keep changing.
Even though it took some time until the feeling of the new house became morphed and merged into the knowing of my house,
You became so adapted to the new house that it covered over the older one.
Stand along,
Close your eyes if they are open,
And sense your body from the top of your head to the tip of your toes and fingers.
Feel the entire inside of your body and move your awareness up to the inner edge of your skin.
Feel the you as being within your entire body and the world of everything else as outside of you,
Your body.
Think of this body,
The one you are aware of right now,
As being my body.
Now bring to mind your body ten or twenty years ago and think of having thought of this body as my body.
And even while acknowledging the changes that have occurred within your body,
Go back another ten or twenty or more years to being a kid in this body.
And at that time you felt that this is my body.
The same you,
But again a changing body.
The same knower of my changing body is the same knower of my changing house or my changing thoughts or my changing emotions.
I am larger than my house,
Larger than my body,
Larger than my thoughts.
As you are sitting or lying down,
Expand your awareness to the very edge of your skin.
Then expand yourself to the walls of your house and then to the surface of the earth and then into the boundaries of the universe.
Sign in from the outside,
Hold on to your hat as the winds of awareness might just blow it off.
