Welcome to Day 5 of Insight Timer's Reset and Refresh Challenge.
Your call to break free from the ordinary,
Let go of what's been holding you back,
And step into your life with a fresh perspective.
Let's jump into today's session.
You are a life in process.
Life and your body came into existence simultaneously.
Life now continues to be observed and witnessed by and in you,
And then engaged with and by you.
Just like rain coming into the soil and the root of the lily feeding its petals.
You are in a similar conversation with life.
Every bit of nourishment you take into your body,
Into your earth,
Can be nourishment to your bloom,
Your expression,
Who you are to this world.
In any one moment,
You are in a process of taking life in and offering it back in subtle,
Kind,
Generous,
Beautiful,
Or unkind ways.
It comes into you and out of you in whatever way you decide.
That's the way of things.
To see this clearly is to be in the process consciously,
Wisely,
Lovingly,
So I'd like you to close your eyes now and begin by softening into the heart,
Feeling the air at the tip of the nostrils,
Feeling it travel into your head,
Through your mind,
Down into your heart.
In-breath through the nose,
Out-breath through the heart.
In-breath through the nose,
Into the body,
And out through the heart.
You are a life in process.
Breathing in,
I want you to receive your life as love coming in.
This breath has been given to you.
You've done nothing to earn it.
It's just given as love.
Breathing in,
I receive my life as love.
Breathing out,
I give and I offer back my life as love.
Breathing in,
I receive life as love.
And breathing out,
I give life as love.
Receive,
In,
Offer back,
Give.
Inhale love,
Exhale love.
Inhale love,
Exhale love.
Make sense that we would receive our life as love for what it truly is,
And offer it back in the exact same way.
This makes sense.
In my breath and in myself,
In my mind states,
With compassion and understanding,
I see the potential in everything.
All things,
No matter how it appears,
Will pass through me in a productive,
Actively loving way.
I recognize I am in the process of life.
I know that with the right awareness,
I can transmute whatever I experience in a way that leaves a residual mark of love.
Breathing in,
I receive life as love.
I receive life loving me.
And breathing out,
I offer and give back this love.
I offer my love back to this life.
I receive,
I give back.
I am the sieve that catches hate and violence at the gate,
And ensures that it is never passed on carelessly.
Think of it this way.
You are the storm,
The wind,
The hail,
Or thunder,
Or you are the soft light,
Warm embrace,
Or life raft,
A warm southern wind,
Or a thorn.
You are always part of someone's or something's weather,
With every cell and every breath.
Think less harm,
Less harm,
Less harm to myself and everyone around me.
This is my honorable,
Noble contribution to the living process.
This is how I will help transform the world.
Breathing in,
I receive life as love.
And breathing out,
I give love to this world.
Taking a deep inhale and exhale,
And opening your eyes in this room,
In this body.
Thank you for another beautiful practice.
I hope you continue to see your life as a process that can change in any way you so choose.
It's just through intention and consciousness that we're able to see more clearly.
So thank you again for taking the time to remember this with me.
Tomorrow,
We're going to practice actively saying yes to our lives.
Oftentimes,
We're caught in fear,
Negativity,
And resistance.
So tomorrow,
We work to do the opposite,
To see our lives as a gift,
And to find ways to say yes to it.
Ultimately,
We are here,
So we might as well do it willingly,
And in a state of joy.
I'll see you tomorrow.
