Nowhere to go.
Get comfortable wherever you are right now and close your eyes.
Place your attention on your breath.
Feel yourself breathe.
Feel what it's like to be with your breath in this moment.
I'm going to ask you a series of questions.
Don't try to answer them.
Hear them.
Really hear them.
Repeat them silently to yourself and roll them around in your mind like you would roll a sweet hard candy around inside of your mouth.
Then feel the answers.
Just like you would taste the sweet flavor of candy.
Taste the flavor of each word.
Taste the feeling of each answer.
For now,
Just be with your breath.
Breathe.
Let yourself become consumed by the rhythm,
By the sensations.
Tune your mind right now to prepare to feel more than think.
Feel yourself breathe.
Where are you?
Don't open your eyes.
Look around inside of your mind and ask yourself,
Where am I?
Feel the answer.
Be with the answer.
Breathe How did you get to where you are?
Now that you have felt where you are,
Ask yourself,
How did I get here?
Be with the answer.
Be with your breath.
Breathe Where are you?
How did you get to where you are?
Can you leave where you are?
Can you arrive at where you are?
If you left,
How would you leave?
If you came,
How would you arrive?
If you left,
Where would you go?
How would you get there?
What happens when you leave where you are?
How does it feel to leave?
What happens when you arrive at where you are?
How does it feel to arrive?
When you leave,
Does where you are right now disappear?
How does it feel where you are?
If where you are disappears,
Where does it go?
Where are you?
Be with the answer.
Be with your breath.
There is no place to go.
Going is an illusion.
There is only where you are.
There is only your home inside of yourself.
You are not the you who lives in this home.
You are the home.
You are the vessel that holds the space.
You are the container for thoughts and emotions.
You are awareness.
The water cannot see itself.
The sun cannot shine light onto itself.
The air cannot hold itself in its own arms.
Awareness can only be what it is.
You are awareness.
There is no place to go but here.
Be with your breath.
Let go of fear.
Let go of worry.
Let go of anxious thought.
Let go of striving.
Let go of letting go.
Just be.
Be with your breath.
Where are you?
You are right here.
Right now.
You are safe.
You are warm.
You are content.
You are filled with peace and love.
You are.
Be with your breath.
Let go of your self-breath.
Take a few more deep breaths here.
Open your eyes and go about your day.
Namaskar.
