Begin to center yourself for this practice by taking a few deep breaths.
Release any tension that may be residing within your body.
Release any thoughts and concerns of your day.
Become totally present in this moment.
Become one with your life as you relax into our practice.
Imagine your favorite place in nature.
If you can't think of one,
Use your imagination to make one up.
Through your mind's eye,
Look around you.
Visualize the textures and colors surrounding you.
Breathe in the fresh,
Crisp air.
Become absorbed in the natural sounds creating a symphony around you.
Feel completely peaceful and full of anticipation for the time you are gifting yourself.
As you are contemplating life,
Listen to the questions arising deep within you.
Perhaps you are feeling awkward,
Not knowing what to expect.
Perhaps you are hurting and are looking for some relief or comfort.
Perhaps the fiery energy of anger and frustration is burning bright and distracting you.
Whatever emerges,
Allow it to be present.
Acknowledging it helps to soften the edges just a little bit.
Absorb the energy of the natural surroundings you've created in your mind's eye.
Witness firsthand how nature appears to be in complete harmony.
Notice the natural flow occurring all around you,
Bringing you a sense of awe and wonder.
Can you too be part of a natural flow?
Can you too live in harmony with all that surrounds you in your life?
Take in each of the elements of nature.
Air,
Water,
Earth,
Fire,
And space.
Realize you are composed of all of the same elements.
Is it possible that the divine source which is animating all of the natural world is also within you?
This profound insight fills you with joy.
You are bathed in a deep,
Loving energy as you recognize that you are one small thread in this tapestry of life,
Along with the vibrancy of nature surrounding you.
You sense the uncomfortable emotions are washing away,
And you are bathed in a compassionate love,
Surpassing anything you've experienced thus far.
You are the light of the sun.
You are the light of the sun.
You are the light of the sun.
You are the light of the sun.
You are the light of the sun.
You are the light of the sun.
As you begin to bring your awareness back to the space you are occupying,
Your heart swells with a sense of joy and love.
Realize you've received one of the biggest gifts of the universe.
Grace.
Healing grace.
And all is well with your soul.
When you are ready,
Slowly open your eyes and carry grace with you into your life.
If emotional turmoil disrupts this feeling of grace,
Simply return to your sanctuary in nature.
Namaste.
You are the light of the sun.
