So,
You can now allow yourself to get into your meditation posture.
We are starting with the meditation and if you feel like it,
You can gradually close your eyes.
As you close your eyes,
Bringing your awareness to your breath and just observing the inflow and the outflow of your breath.
With every breath,
Let your body relax,
Let your mind relax.
Now visualize that you are stepping into a fire.
This fire is that experience that will allow ourselves to go through this temporary death of the ego.
So,
Feel as if you are sitting now on this burning fire and gradually,
Gradually allow yourself to let go of the ego.
Feeling the fire burning away the old self,
You can gradually feel this fire rising up your body,
Rising up through your legs,
Melting away your legs,
Your feet,
Your calves and your thighs.
Feel as if your legs are disappearing into this fire.
Letting go of old beliefs,
Old conditioning,
Letting go of old attachments.
Then feel this fire rising up to your pelvis and your root chakra.
Now feel your pelvis,
Your entire pelvic region melting into this fire,
Burning away all the old attachments,
All the old beliefs that we hold,
That we held on to.
And feel this fire rising upward,
Now engulfing your belly.
Feel it engulfing your sacral chakra,
Burning away all past emotions,
Burning away all past trauma.
Feel your belly disappearing into this fire and then feeling this fire rising up to your solar plexus,
Your diaphragm,
Burning away the ego,
The past ego,
The identities that we held on to.
Feel this area burning,
Melting into this fire,
Your lower body disappearing.
And then feeling this fire rise up to your chest,
To your heart chakra.
And feel the fire burning away all your fears,
Feeling your chest and your shoulders melting into this fire.
And then this fire is rising up to your neck,
Your throat chakra.
And feel the fire burning away all lies,
Everything that was a lie,
All conditioning of the society.
Feeling your neck melting into this fire,
Then feeling this fire rising up to your forehead,
Your third eye chakra,
Burning away the clouded vision,
Burning away all confusion,
Beliefs.
And feel your face melting into this fire.
And now the fire has risen to the top of your head,
Engulfing your whole body now,
Engulfing your crown chakra.
And let this fire melt away the sense of separation,
Feeling separate from others.
Let it burn away the ego.
You have now totally disappeared into this fire.
Only the fire remains.
Let yourself just rest in pure awareness.
Let yourself enter the space of nothingness.
In fact,
There is no self.
There is only silence.
Just for a minute here,
Staying in silence,
The death of the ego has happened.
Your old self is gone.
Now allow yourself to be reborn,
Gradually,
Gradually becoming aware of the new self.
It's as if a phoenix is rising from the fire.
It's as if you are being reborn as a child,
Experiencing the world fresh for the first time.
Reborn into this new moment.
As you gradually now become aware of the body,
As if you are a child reborn,
As if you are coming out of your mother's womb.
Becoming aware of the world around you,
And then slowly in your own time,
You can open your eyes as if this newborn child is opening her eyes for the first time.
And then you can come out of the practice as this meditation comes to its completion.
