Hey,
It's Cyrus.
And you're probably trying really hard to become more peaceful or loving or connected or grateful in your life.
But you don't have to try so hard.
It's already who you are.
It's your nature.
And that's not abstract.
That's literal.
Those are literally the qualities that you are made up of on the core level.
But there's just some stuff that gets in the way.
So we're going to get that out of the way and actually experience the effortless nature of your true nature right now.
Right here,
Today.
So let's go.
Go ahead and eliminate any distractions from your environment and find a comfortable position either sitting up or laying down.
Whatever is going to help you be relaxed but also alert.
And when you feel ready,
Go ahead and close your eyes.
Take a slow,
Succulent breath in through the nose all the way down to the toes.
Really enjoy and savor that breath as you breathe it in and then slowly let it go out through the mouth.
We're gonna do two more like that to really settle your nervous system.
Take a super slow deep breath like you're steering the cadence with which you breathe in,
Really taking it in slow and then letting it go even slower like you're breathing out through a straw,
Out through the mouth.
Beautiful.
Once more you're finding a rhythm,
Taking the breath into the nose and then slowly letting it roll out as you concentrate on the flow of oxygen.
Excellent,
And now just let yourself float for a moment to just be where you are with no particular effort,
Just letting the muscles hang out,
Letting the limbs chill,
Letting the core of your body do whatever it does without any alteration.
And letting the jaw and the facial muscles just relax and be as they are.
And now we're going to notice any thoughts that are arising in this moment that happen to be passing like clouds in front of your true nature and we're not interested in judging these thoughts.
It doesn't matter if they're stressful or judgmental or arbitrary and random or all of the above.
We're just going to notice the thoughts like clouds passing by for a moment.
And as you observe them,
Notice that you are the one watching this inner monologue,
This parade of sentences and images that goes by seemingly endlessly and allow yourself to be slightly entertained or tickled by that as you observe them.
And even though the voice of your mind might speak in your voice and the images you see might be familiar to your life,
Notice how they're like objects in a room.
Like a chair or a table,
Like something you can create space from as you observe.
With curiosity as they arise in your inner room for another moment.
Perfect,
And now that there's a little space from the thoughts,
Let's drop into the body,
Just spelunking the spotlight of your awareness down into the body and investigating,
Noticing where you notice any tension.
Any emotion that's asking to be felt,
Any bracing that's asking to be released and flow through.
And as you observe and connect with it,
If it feels safe,
Don't tamp it down.
Don't try to manage it or hold it in place.
Instead,
Just relax and allow it to spring forth and flow for a moment so that any excess stress can untangle and start to flow through your system and run its course like a river as you observe it with no resistance.
A moment.
Don't think about it,
Instead just stay lasered and locked in on the sensations as they snake their way through the body at their pace,
Just releasing any management and staying tuned in to the sensations as they do their thing.
Any last whispers of control,
Of holding,
Just observe that without judgment and really savor and feel what it feels like to not need to manage or control anything.
To simply trust that the energy that's trying to move through is supposed to move through and your only task is to allow it and observe it for another moment.
And imagine like there's an energy that's greater than you,
Whatever you connect to,
Whether it's the divine or the bigger universe around you,
Just imagining that surrounding you and just relaxing as you allow any excess energy to start to move up through your body and evaporate through the crown of the head.
Into the bigger energy,
Almost like a cosmic vacuum that's just taking it off your chest and shoulders.
Into the ether where it can be effortlessly vaporized.
Relaxing,
Breathing and releasing any excess stress or emotion that's no longer serving you,
Just allowing it to flow out of you with ease into the space.
And take a slow deep cleansing breath now into the body like you're gathering up any remaining debris and on the exhale just blasting it out into the cosmos and allowing yourself to release and settle into a pleasant state of spacious flotation.
And now,
As you allow your body to feel grounded and settled and feeling the space you have from the thinking mind,
Just allow yourself to notice the baseline of your true nature.
The deep presence and stillness of this moment.
Notice how your deepest nature is unconcerned with the past,
The future,
Or the horizontal nature of your existence,
But instead exists in the vertical depth and spaciousness of this moment.
Give yourself permission to excise and let go of any strands of consciousness that are not connected to the pure awareness and presence of this moment.
Feel this presence and this stillness starting to reverberate through all the cells of your body's energy field.
As you attune to it in this moment.
And as you settle into that presence and that stillness,
Notice another layer of your nature,
The deep peacefulness at the core of your consciousness.
Notice how there's a carnal and ineffable quality that blossoms from some curious center of your existence of pure peace,
Undisturbed,
Unbothered by anything.
In the truest sense.
Don't try to be this peace,
You already are this peace.
Just allow yourself to effortlessly be this peace that you are.
Not thinking about it,
But simply letting it blossom from within.
Notice the thickness and the density and the simultaneous lightness of this piece.
It consumes and saturates everything that you're aware of.
As you make more and more space for it within your consciousness.
And become what you are without effort.
And notice the next layer of your nature,
The connection that you have to everything.
The connection that's innate to yourself.
To all living creatures.
Not on a conceptual level,
But on a felt,
Energetic level.
Notice how you're interconnected with literally everything and everyone.
Instead of thinking about this or visualizing it,
See if you can sense the connection,
The oneness,
The way in which the limits fall away when you sense and feel how you're totally connected with all.
Notice how it's your nature,
You don't have to try to connect,
You just let go of the barriers,
Of the holding,
Of the concepts that keep us blocked off.
Notice how your nature is total,
Electric,
Alive connection.
And now we could say on top of those layers of presence and peace and connection,
There's a more active layer to your nature.
It's that playful,
Childlike part of you that's totally tapped into the magic of the moment.
The creative impulse you wish to sculpt with and the courage to make it happen,
To act on it.
So I invite you to notice what impulses,
What images,
What feelings and sparks arise within your field.
As you become aware of the rapturous waves that dance upon the surface of the deep stillness of the ocean.
What stirs and moves within you as the creative magic of your nature in this moment?
Is it a whisper?
Is it a roar?
Is it specific or is it vague?
There is no right or wrong,
Just notice what arises when you create that space for the creative to arise within you.
And if it feels good,
Allow yourself to be tickled by that,
To enjoy the majesty and inspiration of your endlessly creative nature.
As you observe it flowing through you effortlessly in this moment.
Incredible,
Isn't it?
And now I invite you to notice one more layer of your being,
Of your true nature.
And as you connect with your heart and bring your awareness to that area of your body,
And perhaps take a slow breath in to soften and allow that area to bloom.
Just notice the love that is innate to who and what you are at your deepest core.
Notice as you connect with it that that love wants to be acknowledged and felt and experienced so deeply.
And if it feels good,
Allow it to move and pulse and flow within you freely.
To be effortlessly experienced as who and what you are.
Notice how there's an innate gratitude to this experience,
A natural acknowledgement of the preciousness of this moment,
Of this life.
An awareness of the sacredness of this love that you get to experience.
Any old blocks,
Any old holding that you feel ready to allow to dissolve,
Feel free to do so now and allow that love to permeate through every cell of your existence.
As you feel and sense that this is what you are.
On the deepest level,
Your true nature.
Take a moment to enjoy and savor this connection that you've cultivated.
Nowhere to be,
Nothing to do,
Just experiencing and savoring your nature without effort.
The present.
The peace.
The connection.
The creative magic.
And the deep sacred love.
Being and savoring that experience of your nature now.
See yourself carrying back that connection to those qualities of your nature back into your day without fear or limitation,
With a conscious intention.
See and feel what that looks like.
And you can rest in that as long as you feel like it would serve you now.
And only when you feel ready,
Feel free to open your eyes.
And notice the transformation that you've created in your energy,
Your awareness,
Your perspective.
And gradually re-enter the physical world at your pace.
Maintaining that connection to your true nature as you go one moment at a time.
And be aware that the world will of course distract you and pull you out of that nature.
And while that's inevitable,
Some intentional practice every day will help you reconnect and steep in this,
So that it becomes the context for your daily experience.
So if it feels good,
Feel free to return to this or any other sessions that resonate with you on a regular basis so that you have a committed practice if it feels like it would serve you and how you wish to experience your life.
Feel free to share this with anyone you think it might resonate with.
I thank you deeply for taking this time for yourself today.
Have an incredible day.
