Let's prepare for meditation.
Settle into a comfortable seat and bring your awareness to the sitz bones,
Feeling them root down into the surface beneath you,
Allowing the spine to elongate ever upward.
Bring your awareness to the natural flow of your breath,
Breathing in a little bit deeper and breathing out a little bit longer.
And as you breathe in deep and breathe out long,
Become aware of your body's aliveness.
Feel yourself breathing into the back body and the low belly.
Invite in a feeling of softness with the steady awareness of your breath.
Breathing in deep and breathing out long.
Feel breath in the back of the heart and become aware of the heart center,
The very center of silence and stillness and sacredness.
Still visualize or imagine the presence of radiant wisdom at the crown of the head,
Either visualizing a bright light or the feet of your guru.
And feel how at the crown of the head there emanates divine love,
Wisdom,
Virtue.
And as you inhale,
Feel the inhalation move downward from the crown to the very root of the heart.
And as you exhale,
Feel the breath rise up from the base of the heart up to the crown of the head,
The seat of your higher wisdom.
Feeling and experiencing this interplay,
This exchange between wisdom and love.
Feeling the pranashakti,
The energy of the breath,
Move down through the central channel as you inhale to the very base of the heart.
And as you exhale,
Feel the energy and breath ascend upward towards the crown.
With your awareness,
Invoke your own inner guiding goodness,
Calling upon higher wisdom,
Guiding it down from the crown and into the very base of the heart.
And as you exhale,
Feel that wisdom expressed in the seed syllables.
Om,
Ayim,
Hreem,
Shreem.
Breathing in light and wisdom from the crown to the heart.
And as you exhale,
Feel the seed syllables ascend.
Om,
Ayim,
Hreem,
Shreem.
Feeling down your inner guiding goodness from the crown,
From the seat of the guru into the cave of the heart.
And feeling that divine light and wisdom expand and move upward.
Om,
Ayim,
Hreem,
Shreem.
Inhaling from the crown to the heart.
Exhaling upward.
Om,
Ayim,
Hreem,
Shreem.
Continue with this awareness of breath and mantra.
Feel the whole body and the space around you become imbued with this sacred energy of awakening,
Of wisdom,
Of enlightened consciousness.
Om,
Ayim,
Hreem,
Shreem.
Om,
Ayim,
Hreem,
Shreem.
Om,
Ayim,
Hreem,
Shreem.
Om,
Ayim,
Hreem,
Shreem.
Om,
Ayim,
Hreem,
Shreem.
Om,
Ayim,
Hreem,
Shreem.
Om,
Ayim,
Hreem,
Shreem.
Om,
Ayim,
Hreem,
Shreem.
Om,
Ayim,
Hreem,
Shreem.
Om,
Ayim,
Hreem,
Shreem.
Om,
Ayim,
Hreem,
Shreem.
Breathe in a little bit deeper and breathe out a little bit longer.
Become aware of your body,
Your breath,
And your surroundings.
Breathing in deep and breathing out long.
Feel yourself as one whole unit from the crown of your head to the tips of your toes.
And remembering wholeness,
Begin to reanimate the physical body,
Gently rocking from side to side,
Wiggling the fingers and the toes.
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes.
