To manifest our intentions,
We must first get in alignment with our own personal truths.
Not the truths of our neighbor or a partner,
But the truths that are sourced from the deep reaches of our souls.
Holding the seed of your intention in the fertile soil of your heart,
We are now going to invite the alignment that is necessary in your inner and outer lives in order to cultivate the growth of that seed.
To find this alignment,
We start with stillness and with silencing the voice of the monkey mind so that we can clearly hear our innermost truths.
So closing your eyes,
Settle in to the comfort of the earth below you.
Let's tune in and listen to the infinite guidance of our inner wisdom source.
Begin by exhaling all of the air from your lungs,
Releasing your breath.
As you breathe in,
Lengthen and deepen.
Expand your lungs.
Open your heart.
Just in and out.
How slow can you go?
How still can you become?
With each breath,
Your nervous system calms.
With each breath,
More space becomes available between each of your bones.
With each breath,
The waters settle in the placid and peaceful lake of your mind.
Through breath,
You connect with the gentle current of love and the universal life force that runs through us all.
Your breath flows without effort.
You feel only ease.
In this moment,
I ask you to become the witness,
The observer,
The watcher of your own life.
Become the one who resides inside,
The one who looks out of your lidded eyes rather than the eyes themselves.
You are the one being breathed now,
Rather than the one doing the breathing.
So let's visualize a golden ball of light glowing inside of your heart.
Beginning maybe as a spark,
A pinprick,
Shining,
A beacon.
And watch this spark grow,
Becoming brighter,
More vibrant,
Growing in size.
Notice the details,
The color,
Notice any feelings or sensation in your body.
Sit for a moment with this light in your heart.
Feel its energy,
Bask in its glow.
And now turn all of your focus toward aligning yourself with this ball of light.
Be it,
Become it.
And ever so slowly,
Let's allow our perspective to shift.
Visualize that you are now this ball of light,
Lifting up and out of your body,
Which continues to rest peacefully seated.
Observe what it feels like to exist outside of your body,
Detached from flesh and bone.
Feel your lightness,
Your freedom,
Your flexibility.
Who are you as this shining orb of light?
What do you love?
What do you crave?
What do you need?
As pure source energy,
Gaze down on your body and consider what it is that your golden soul may ask before re-entry.
What is it that she requires of your physical form in order to shift into perfect alignment between body and soul?
Start with this for a moment.
And now,
Inviting that golden orb back into your heart,
Reunite these parts of yourself.
Feel your body again,
Sitting on the earth,
Supported both from below and from above.
Blanken your breath,
Blink open your eyes,
And give gratitude for the new perspective that you've been offered here today.
And so it is.
