So let's begin.
First of all,
Just get yourself into your nice comfortable spot,
Whether you're sitting down,
Lying down,
It doesn't matter.
Just make sure it's comfortable for you.
And before you close your eyes,
Maybe just take a look around the room,
Notice what you see around you.
And when you're ready,
You can close your eyes,
Settle in your chair or on the bed or on the floor,
Wherever you are.
And maybe start off with a few nice deep breaths in and out through the nose,
Breathing in and out.
And then through the nose and out through the nose.
And again in through the nose and out through the nose.
And allow the breath to just settle by itself.
And just check with your hearing and your sense of touch and smell if there's anything else that you notice,
Any external input.
Maybe cars going by or a dog barking,
Somebody talking in the background,
You smell food,
Maybe you've got some nice incense burning.
Maybe the temperature of the room,
The feel of your clothes on your body if you're wearing anything.
Is it nice and soft and comfortable?
And then gently bring the attention inward.
Become aware of the whole body from top of the head to the tip of the toes.
Be in the body now.
And acknowledge that there may be distractions and if they do come along,
Just let them pass.
Let them sort themself.
Or if they are persistent,
Allow them to take you deeper into your meditative state.
And now gently bring the attention to the breathing,
To the breath.
Noticing how the breath flows naturally in and out of the body.
It is not necessary to consciously breathe because the body knows how to do that.
All you have to do is witness the breath,
Observing it.
And in the region of the lungs,
I notice a palpitation,
A beat,
A rhythm.
Gentle but strong.
My heart beat.
And I wait patiently between each beat of my heart for the next and the next and the next.
Witnessing the beating of my heart.
Knowing that this is divine energy flowing through me.
The miraculous.
And I now take a few moments to inwardly and quietly say a prayer of gratitude for all that I am.
And so it is.
And again my attention moves into the flow of my breath.
For the breath is my anchor in the now moment.
And if I find my mind wandering,
I can gently bring it back to the breath.
And I begin to sense a beautiful violet energy in the spaces between the spaces.
A violet light glowing all around me.
And I breathe this violet light into my body.
Accumulating it into my lungs.
And then distributing it throughout my whole body.
And again,
Not manipulating the breath but allowing it to flow freely and naturally.
Breathing in the violet energy.
And absorbing it into my body.
And as I breathe,
I feel my physical body dissolve.
Becoming pure light.
Radiating in all directions.
And the more my body dissolves,
The more free I become.
And the more free I become,
The more I merge with all other consciousness throughout the universe.
And as my consciousness merges with all those around me,
I connect with the wisdom of the universe.
All records,
Past,
Present and future.
Becoming one speck of wisdom.
Contained in each and every atom.
And with this knowing,
I now understand that I can create whatever I wish.
And whatever I create in my mind can become reality.
And for the moment,
I create in my mind a beautiful forest around me.
Lush emerald green foliage.
The smell of the soil and the trees around me.
The sound of birds and animals in the forest.
And it is really a most pleasant temperature all around.
Maybe a little bit of sunlight breaking through the tree tops.
Reaching down.
And because I am all that is,
I feel the sunlight in every spot that it reaches in this forest.
Feeling its warmth.
I am all the trees.
All the living creatures in this forest connected like one huge consciousness.
And the warmth of the sunlight breathes new life into me and cleansing me with the energy of the element of fire.
Bright and forceful and passionate.
Clearing away any debris.
And then cooling down in the soil and letting go of all the past and finding stability and nurturing comfort.
A place for growth in the soil,
This element of earth where seeds germinate and grow up into the sky.
And the rain washes clean,
Refreshes with the element of water.
Nourishing and guiding intuitively to reach the highest potential.
And when I reach the sky,
The element of air blows through me,
Taking my messages like seeds and spreading it far and wide.
So that I can create more and more of that which I am.
And I now imagine myself repeating this cycle of rejuvenation,
Cleansing,
Purification and propagation over and over,
Repeating and repeating,
Growing further and farther and wider.
Now,
Taking a moment of silence as we Liang ringing the bells and letting go.
Creating wider and wider circles of forest spreading myself even wider I am a whole new world I am fresh and alive with new possibilities I have created this in my own image I am a whole new world I am a whole new world All that I have placed in my forest is now ready to manifest and I find myself excited at the new prospects that lay ahead,
All the new experiences,
A new life that awaits all of us a gift so beautiful and yet so simple and holding this thought,
This image in my heart I now allow myself to return feeling that forest deep within my heart anchored there and now bringing my attention back to my physical body,
Still feeling that forest deep within my heart celebrating throughout my whole body this new forest,
This new life and so I become aware of my body and feel it as it makes contact with the chair or the bed or the floor noticing anything that may have shifted within my body,
Any changes taking a nice deep breath in enjoying my body becoming aware of the room around me saying thanks to my body for hosting this new vision I may be wiggling my toes and my fingers,
Touching my face and when I am ready I may open my eyes
