Welcome.
Make yourself comfortable.
Finding a position that supports you today in your practice.
As you settle in,
Just connect to the breath flow for a moment.
Feeling smooth air coming in through your nose and releasing outwards.
Let your body and mind sink in.
Feel the weight of your consciousness rest right here.
Keep your eyes open for a moment while you settle in.
Let your gaze soften and soften.
Relax the muscles around your eyes and just notice your visual field becoming more connected with your consciousness.
As if you were blending into the space.
Here you are today.
Just as it is.
Take a moment to find gratitude in this place for how far you have come.
Despite the challenging times that have enveloped your path.
Find gratitude within yourself for arriving today for yourself.
Now gently let your eyes close.
Take a moment to visualize your loved one here with you.
Imagine the shape of their head.
The features on their head a subtle smile.
And their eyes looking back at you.
Allow for a memory with them to surface in your mind as you continue to look back at them with your mind's eye.
Let the memory arise slowly.
Let the surroundings of this memory unfold,
One object at a time.
Notice the place this memory is bringing up.
Let this place reveal itself.
Piece by piece.
Now,
Move into the presence of your loved one within that memory.
Expand on the vision of their face looking at you.
Notice their body posture and their expression.
Simply observe their presence without analyzing the small details.
Let the memory of their presence speak to you.
Now notice the physical distance you have from your loved one with this memory.
Become aware of the space between you.
Take the information all in as slowly as you're breathing.
Settle into this memory.
Here we are not reliving the past.
We are simply keeping their memory alive with the intention to heal our heart.
And reflect on the wisdom that comes from love and loss.
The past you and the present you are connected in this moment.
Through this alchemy,
You help the future you continue to heal and move through life from this wisdom.
Let yourself communicate wisdom through these versions of you.
As you observe and witness this memory gently.
Now,
For the last minute of your practice.
I invite you to open your eyes again.
Keep your gaze soft as you did before.
Relaxing the urge to focus on a particular object.
Simply notice the surroundings without too much eye movement.
As you breathe in.
Imagine the energy of everything in front of you just flowing into your body.
Filling you with so much energy.
And as you breathe out,
Imagine your energy blending outwards into everything before you.
Continue that breath experience of connection and oneness.
Breathing in,
Absorbing the energy of the space before you.
Breathing out,
Blending your own energy outwards.
Now let your breath and awareness slowly settle into a neutral state.
Just keeping the breath simple flowing in through your nose.
Out through your nose.
Gently bringing your mind and body back into the room.
I hope this brought you a little peace of mind in your day.
