Begin to just follow your breath in and out.
With every breath you take,
Allow yourself to become a little bit more comfortable and a little bit more relaxed.
Just following your breath,
Just noticing as your chest rises and falls,
And then when you're ready,
Just breathe.
And I want you to imagine that in front of you is your higher power,
A being of love and light with unconditional love and regard for you.
And as you see this higher power,
I want you to breathe in the love that your higher power is giving to you,
Regardless of whether you feel like you're worthy of it,
Regardless of whether you believe that you deserve it,
It's being offered to you anyway.
And so imagine that it is a color.
And just allow that color,
Breathe in that color of love and light inside of you.
And let it begin to fill your body up from your heart,
Expanding throughout your chest,
Down through your legs,
Out through your arms,
Up through your neck,
Up through your head,
All the way down to your toes.
And this light,
It's just filling you up with immense love and compassion.
With every breath you take,
You breathe in more of that love and that light.
And then you say,
Thank you.
And you invite your higher power to move to your right,
To have your higher move to the right side of you.
And if you want,
You can even imagine that you and your higher power are holding hands.
And the two of you are now facing the same direction.
And you're breathing in and breathing out at the same pace,
And breathing out.
And now I want you to imagine someone in your life that you know is suffering.
It could be yourself,
It could be a loved one,
It could be one of your children,
It could be anyone that you know that you love and care about that you know is suffering right now.
And I want you to imagine that they are sitting in front of you,
Looking at you.
And as you breathe in,
You're going to breathe in their pain,
You're going to breathe in their suffering.
And as you breathe it in,
It's going to connect with that love and that light that you have within you.
And it's going to change it to something beautiful and loving.
And as you breathe out,
You're going to breathe out love and compassion to them in that same light that you have within you.
You are sharing with this person,
Breathing in their suffering,
Breathing out compassion,
All the while remaining connected to your higher power,
Who is continuing to fill you with unending,
Abundant love and compassion as you breathe it into this person in front of you.
Breathing in and out.
And when that person has been blessed with the love and light that you've had,
And you've helped relieve their suffering,
Even the smallest way,
Invite them to move to the right of your higher power and let them connect and hold a connection with your higher power on their left side.
And right now,
There's three of you sitting together,
All facing the same way,
Breathing in and breathing out at the same rate and pace.
And I want you to invite another person to sit before you,
Someone that you care about a lot.
And maybe they're not suffering right now,
But they are someone that you love and you care about,
And you want to bless them.
And so you invite that person to sit in the center right in front of you.
And you are aware that even though they may not manifest it,
They also have wounds just like you.
And so you breathe in their pain,
And you breathe in their suffering,
And you breathe out light and love to them.
All the while connected to your higher power and your first companion,
Breathing in that love that the three of you now share together and blessing this person,
You all three are breathing in their suffering and breathing out compassion and love to them.
Just breathing in and breathing out.
And as you have filled them with love and helped relieve their suffering,
Even in the smallest way,
Invite them to move into the circle on your left side.
And imagine that they are holding your hand on your left side.
And now you have three other people,
Three other beings,
Breathing in,
Breathing out with you,
With the same breath and pace.
And I want you to imagine that your younger self is sitting in front of you,
The one who is carrying so much pain.
And I want you to breathe in your younger self's suffering and allow it to connect with the love and compassion that you have now and you have with the other people in the circle who are supporting you at this time.
Breathing in their suffering and breathing out love and compassion and blessing to your younger self,
Wishing them all the best.
Breathing in their suffering,
Breathing out compassion,
Love and light.
And as you continue to breathe in and out,
And you've helped relieve your younger self's suffering even a little bit and helped them feel a little bit more love and compassion.
Imagine your younger self to move to the left side of you,
Next to your person that you just blessed previously,
And your younger self is holding their hand.
So now you have your younger self and the person to your left and your higher power to your right and another person to your higher powers right.
You're all breathing in and out at the same pace.
And now I want you to imagine that all of you are before each other as you are now.
In the collective suffering that you all hold,
You breathe in the suffering of those here with us today and you breathe out love and compassion to them.
Breathing in and allowing the light and the love and the peace that is within you and connected among those with whom you are holding hands to brighten,
Strengthen,
Magnify the love and the compassion you have and then you breathe it back onto the others here present.
Breathing in suffering,
Breathing out compassion.
And as you've been breathing it in and helping relieve a little bit of their suffering and adding to some of their compassion,
I want you to imagine that you finish the circle that all of you are in the same circle holding hands connected to those you've identified from your own personal life,
Your younger self,
And your higher power all connected in a circle and as you do so you're breathing in suffering of the world and breathing out compassion.
Breathing in the pain that exists across the planet and breathing out love and compassion.
The power that you have to love is immense.
It is unfathomable.
It is endless.
And just imagine that breath as you breathe in and breathing out that love and that light as it spreads from where you are,
Wherever you are on the planet and begins to spread out farther and farther and farther until it covers every part of this planet,
Blessing this planet,
Blessing every plant,
Blessing every animal,
Blessing every human.
Breathing in and breathing out.
And then take a deep breath.
And in your mind's eye look in the eyes of all those who are with you in the circle and tell them thank you.
Looking at each person and saying thank you.
Thank you for helping me in this journey.
Thank you for being a part of my life.
And then offering a blessing to that person on their journey.
And as you are thanking them,
They begin to leave the circle and go back to their lives.
Until all that you have left is you and your higher power.
And your higher power breathes in your suffering and breathes out love to you.
Breathing it in.
And blessing you on your journey.
And when you're ready,
You can begin to bring your attention back to the here and now.
And you can open your eyes.
