Welcome,
My beautiful dreamer,
Please close your eyes and make yourself comfortable.
It's time to let go of the outside world for a little while,
So you can come on a very powerful journey with me to fall in love with love.
It's time to delve deep inside of yourself,
Because that's where all the greatest magic,
Healing and transformation lives inside of you.
So to begin,
Just take some long,
Slow,
Deep breaths in through your nose and exhale out your mouth with long sighs.
Allow yourself to let go of anything you don't need in this very moment.
Use your inhales to gather up any anxiety,
Any racing thoughts or distractions and use your exhales to let all of it go.
With every breath,
You're sinking deeper and deeper inside of yourself into the sanctuary of your own inner world and the beautiful healing power of your own imagination.
Just be here fully present and fully open.
Somewhere along the way,
We learned to treat romantic love like some kind of rescue boat.
Something that's going to arrive and save us.
Someone will make you feel safe,
Make you feel seen,
Held,
Understood,
Accepted.
But in order to call in that kind of magnificent love,
It has to start from inside you first.
It's only when you stop outsourcing the feeling of love and start generating it inside yourself,
That's when your whole world changes.
That's when you fall in love with love in a whole new way.
Unconditionally.
Deliciously.
Magnetically and marvelously.
Using your powerful and beautiful imagination,
I'd like you to find yourself standing in a city at night.
The sky stretches endlessly above you,
Deep and dark and full of quiet promise.
Streetlights glow in long golden lines,
Guiding you forward like something's waiting for you.
Shops cast colour onto the pavement.
Restaurant windows glow warm and inviting.
Traffic moves past in ribbons of red and white light.
Laughter spills out of doorways and music drifts through the air and disappears again and changes constantly as you walk.
Everything feels alive.
And as you walk in this place,
You begin to relax.
You feel a sense of such deep safety here.
Your shoulders drop.
Your jaw unclenches.
Your body releases tension you didn't even realise you were holding.
You're not walking to get somewhere in particular,
You're just walking.
And for the first time in a long time,
You are fully inside your own life.
You pass by people talking quietly outside a bar,
Their faces lit by the light of the city.
By warmth and deep connection.
You pass windows filled with colour and movement and quiet human moments unfolding behind glass.
And as you continue to walk,
You begin to notice something strange.
Like a presence is walking beside you.
You feel accompanied.
Not in a way that scares you or makes you feel unsafe,
But in a way that makes you feel completely held and completely understood.
Like someone is somehow walking beside you without needing to be seen by you.
You keep walking and you become more and more aware of this other rhythm beside you.
Another set of footsteps perfectly matching your own.
You don't turn to look because something inside you already knows.
This presence doesn't need to be seen in order to be felt.
You continue walking together in silence and as you walk you just notice how natural it feels.
How easy,
How familiar.
Your breath deepens.
Inhale.
Exhale.
And beside you their breath is the same.
Not copying you,
Just in harmony with you.
And as you simply walk and simply breathe together.
You realise you're not adjusting to them and they are not adjusting to you.
You are simply in unison with each other.
You turn a corner and arrive at a small fruit stand still open under soft yellow streetlights.
There are oranges and peaches and figs and berries in beautiful displays.
Their colours rich and alive against the night.
Without needing to speak you feel the presence beside you pause and you pause too.
Your hand moves instinctively towards a slice of orange.
You lift it slowly,
Gently press it against your lips and savour in its sweetness.
You taste it slowly.
The juice spreads across your tongue,
Sweet,
Bright,
Alive.
Don't rush this,
Let yourself experience the deliciousness of this moment fully.
And as you swallow its sweetness feel something inside you shift.
Like your body is now remembering how to receive.
And as you do the presence beside you speaks softly.
This is intimacy.
Not sex,
Not performance,
Not someone else,
This.
Being here.
Feeling your life as it happens moment after moment.
You continue walking together with no urgency,
No destination,
Just presence.
Until you reach a bridge that stretches over dark,
Slow moving water.
You step onto the bridge together.
The river reflects the entire city in broken shimmering light.
Gold,
Red,
White,
Silver,
Everything moving and reforming endlessly.
You stand here,
Feeling this safe presence beside you and for the first time in so long you feel complete.
Not because someone arrived,
But because nothing is missing.
In this moment you're not waiting,
You're not searching,
You are here.
And it is delicious.
And it is enough.
You breathe in deeply and beside you the same breath.
And then you breathe out together,
The same release.
And something inside you settles permanently into place.
Belonging.
You leave the bridge and continue walking.
The streets grow quieter now.
Buildings rise taller,
Stranger,
Modern shapes of glass and steel stretching into the sky.
The business district,
Empty,
Silent,
Beautiful in its stillness.
And at the end of the street you're on stands one building taller than all the others.
Its surface entirely made of mirror reflecting the entire world back to itself.
You walk toward it and as you approach you see your reflection walking toward you.
And you realize there is no one beside you.
And yet that feeling of love and warmth and belonging and safety remains.
The love is still there,
Still surrounding you and still inside you.
And in this moment the truth arrives.
That love,
That warmth,
That safety and that belonging it was never coming from outside of you.
It was coming from your own soul.
The part of you that knows how to love you.
The part of you that never left you.
The part of you that's been waiting for you to finally feel it.
You stand now in front of this tall building in front of your own reflection looking into your own eyes.
Seeing yourself so clearly.
And in this moment you understand.
That love has never been something that you needed to find.
It was something you needed to allow your soul to give to you.
Let your own soul love you.
Fully.
Completely.
Without any resistance,
Without any hesitation.
Look into your own eyes.
Not looking at the outside of yourself.
Not looking at your age or your history or the lines on your face.
Looking into yourself.
Into me I see.
Intimacy.
The love you felt walking beside you.
The safety.
The intimacy.
It was never separate from you.
It was you.
It is you.
So just let your own soul love you now.
Place your hand gently over your own heart.
And connect to your own soul.
As you repeat the following words after me.
Silently inside yourself.
From this moment on,
I allow my own soul to love me.
I stop looking outside myself for the love that lives within me.
I allow myself to feel loved from the inside out.
I allow myself to feel safe inside my own presence.
I allow myself to feel the intimacy of being present in my own existence.
I allow love to live inside me.
I allow love to move through me.
I allow love to shape the way I see myself.
I allow love to shape the way I experience my life.
I am no longer separate from love.
I am part of it.
I am within it.
And love is within me.
Take a long,
Slow,
Gentle breath here.
Then carry this love wherever you go from this moment onward.
And when you're ready,
Slowly,
Kindly,
To yourself,
Come back to the present moment.
Bringing all of this love with you.
Because it lives inside you now.
And it always will.
It always will.
