Sit comfortably.
Rest your hands on your legs with your palms facing down.
Sit up nice and tall,
Then softly close your eyes.
Welcome several slow,
Deep breaths.
Let the breath enter and exit through your nose.
Mouth closed,
Lower jaw loose.
Feel the gravity of your seat and your connection to earth.
This wonderful sense of grounding ensures powerful openings in body,
Mind,
And heart.
Notice already how your breath is the gateway,
Ushering you into the field of peace within.
Breathing softly,
Yet consciously,
Allow your breath to begin to support you in making your way into the deeper parts of you.
The breath is our direct connection to the subtle realms of existence.
With each inhalation,
Feel your belly expand.
With each exhalation,
Feel your belly as it gently recedes towards your spine.
Inhale,
Belly expands.
Exhale,
Belly gradually drifts back towards your spine.
A few moments here.
Keeping a soft smile on your face,
Notice how exhalations are serving as the way to release what's no longer needed.
The tender and soothing action of belly to spine helps to digest our foods and process our emotions.
If there is a memory that is beginning to surface here,
Simply invite a deeper breath to allow a fall.
Perhaps this memory is from a recent time or from many years ago.
Whatever emotion presents,
We observe and breathe to embrace this experience fully and completely.
We are practicing being non-discriminative,
Thus neutral,
To whatever the mind offers.
In doing so,
We create the conditions for what has been trapped or lodged to be easily released,
Because now is the aligned timing for this healing to occur.
Transmuting all of what's difficult back to love,
Preserving a soft tone and texture in your breath and remaining very still,
Sense a beautiful quiet,
A calm emerging from your inner spaces.
Now visualize a cup full of divine love there in front of you.
This cup of love holds both an exquisite color and fragrance.
You see this love as opulescence,
Iridescence,
Effervescence.
This love is filled with all the colors of the rainbow.
It brings a heavenly scent.
And you drink in this elixir of love,
Where right away you receive nourishment for your body,
Mind,
Soul.
This love is pouring into and through every aspect of your being.
This love is pooling into the spaces where there is mental,
Physical,
Or emotional fatigue.
It cascades through both your inner and outer spaces.
This love comes with no attachments,
Judgments,
Or conditions of any kind.
This is the purest love,
And you are filling yourself up with it.
Now this cup transforms into a lake,
A lake of unconditional love.
So many colors,
Radiance,
Effervescence,
Brilliance.
You submerge your body into this lake.
Your love is soaking into every physical cell,
Tributary,
And all the folds of you,
Where you are now floating in it.
You feel so safe,
Held,
And cared for in this magnificent lake of love.
And now this lake transforms into an ocean.
You immerse yourself into this ocean to receive more than you thought possible.
This love is vast,
Spacious,
And so very allowing.
It is cleansing,
Purifying,
And strengthening all at the same time.
Feel yourself absorbing the frequency of love through the waves of your own healing breath.
Let your breath lengthen and deepen even more.
As you expand into this experience,
There is a feeling of fullness and emptiness.
You are receiving divine love at its highest resonance,
Just as you are being nurtured by an angelic being who is the embodiment of unconditional love for you.
Allowing in even more love,
You now have so much love to give all around you.
You are divine love.
And as you exit these waters,
You carry this love as a cloak,
Where it envelops you to guide you as you move throughout your day.
We bring this way of being,
This grace,
Our deepest and truest self,
To all around us as our highest offering,
For this is our great service.
Return back to your breathing,
Yet can you now allow the action of belly to spine to soften just a bit?
There is a very freeing feeling in the way the breath is so easily,
So freely,
Permeating throughout,
Where your mind is quiet,
Your body is spacious,
And every part of you is at peace.
Rest in stillness for just a few moments,
Receiving this expanded state of awareness,
Your highest presence.
As we travel this journey,
We know there are days that can feel deeply humbling.
With that,
If there is an apology you wish to offer,
Either towards yourself or another,
May this be delivered in the aligned timing.
Bringing our practice to a close,
Let us remind ourselves here that if ever we feel life is moving at a pace that's just too fast,
We have the capacity to take loving command by requesting to the universe a gentle slowing,
So that we can take the time needed to assimilate all the changes we're experiencing.
In the recognition of this,
Sense a powerful healing property.
Please fold your hands in prayer,
In front of your heart,
And gently bow your head.
We know that whenever we make the time to breathe consciously,
We have the great honor of designing our inner spaces,
Only to remember that our inner spaces are lovingly held by our outer spaces.
Our field holds our physical body to keep us safe and protected.
And as we fill up with divine love,
We feel supported,
Comforted,
Blessed.
Take one deep,
Full breath in here.
And slowly exhale.
To connection and peace,
The light of our heart,
We humbly,
Deeply bow.
May we continue to grow our capacity to fill up with a little self-love whenever we feel the need to comfort and soothe ourselves and others in this wonderfully nourishing way.
I bow to you.
Thank you so much.
And Namaste.
