Imagine you're watching a feather float down from the ceiling.

The feather is floating down gently and carelessly back and forth,

Just finding its own way.

And as this feather reaches the level of your head,

You begin to feel and see this lightness moving through the top of your head.

Recognize that as the feather is moving down,

It is bringing a feeling of easiness,

A feeling of healing,

A feeling of joy.

You can feel this feeling as your head,

The top of your head gets soft and relaxes.

You may take your neck and move it around.

As the feather moves down through your forehead,

You can feel the easiness and the joy and the peacefulness as your eyes become soft and your eyebrows become relaxed and your nose becomes relaxed.

And as the feather moves past the level of your mouth and your chin,

Your mouth is relaxed,

Your chin is relaxed.

The head goes whichever way it needs to go as this total relaxation fills your body with a sense of lightness,

With a sense of being peaceful,

With a sense of calmness and confidence.

As the feather moves past the level of your neck,

Again your neck gets very soft and pliant and supple.

And you recognize the importance of being soft and flexible and supple.

You recognize that when a man is born,

He is soft and supple and when he dies,

He is hard and inflexible.

When a plant breaks through the ground,

It is soft and flexible and pliant.

When flowers are dead,

They are hard and brittle.

So you recognize that to be a disciple of life,

You must be soft and relaxed and flexible.

And he who is inflexible,

Not soft and is hard,

Is a disciple of death.

And so you're moving down the body as the feather floats back and forth and moves past your shoulders.

Both shoulders become easy and soft and move in whatever way they need to move as if there's the light of yoga moving through your body.

The feather moves down past your heart and you just take a deep breath and relax.

Recognize your wonderful heart beating the beat of life faithfully without you ever even having to think about it,

Without you ever telling it to beat so.

It just does so due to this primordial ancient program that takes over of its own.

You have tremendous gratitude and lightness of being for the gift of life and the gift of breath itself as you're breathing in deeply.

You allow this vision of relaxation as the feather moves down past your stomach and you recognize the miracle of the stomach and the miracle of all the organs and the miracle of digestion.

And your stomach becomes relaxed and you just breathe in deeply and not holding your stomach in just letting it do what it needs to do.

As the feather now is moving down towards the waist you're allowing your hips to swing and sway as they need to and as the feather moves down past your thighs you're seeing almost as if a line has moved down from the top of your body and the top half of your body is now filled with light and the bottom half of your body is filling with light as it empties out all stress.

Stress is emptying out of your body past your hips down through your knees and your knees become gentle and your knees are feeling good.

Any aches and pains that you might have had in your knees are now moving away as the feather continues to move down towards the floor down towards your shins.

It's flitting this way and that way effortlessly and your shins become soft and down through your Achilles tendon down through your heels down through the ends of your toes and watch the way all stress has just leaked out of the body moving out into the perfect place in the universe to be transmuted into love.

And so it's with great gratitude that the feather now hits the floor and the light body is awakened.

Notice how light is filling your body right now with luminous quanta of divine intelligence thrilling out into infinite vibrations of accordance breaking joyously into greater and higher waves of illumination transforming fear into love.
