I recorded this audio to celebrate the brilliance and mystery of you that is
not defined or limited by the ideas you have about yourself,
About your identity,
About the world.
As you listen to my words you can rest.
There's no need to
think about this.
It's not an intellectual understanding.
It's a
recognition that sinks in and grounds you in the knowing of the resilience and
the peace that you're made of.
My words are not what's important.
They'll never
be enough to describe the beauty and brilliance of you.
You'll find truth not
in the words but in what you see when you look where they're pointing.
You can
trust in that.
Look there.
As we spend this time together I'll be asking you
just to notice.
Just to turn your attention in a particular direction and
let it rest there for a moment.
Let it rest and just notice.
Just notice.
Notice
your breath.
Every inhale is a gift of life.
Each exhale breathing out what's no
longer required and making room for new and fresh.
The space between the two,
A
moment of gentle stillness.
And notice that you're not in charge of your
breathing.
It happens whether you're focusing on it or not.
You are not
breathing.
You're being breathed.
Just notice.
Now notice the cycles that are
occurring around you and within you.
Notice nature and how without trying or
without effort spring turns to summer.
Summer to autumn.
Autumn to winter.
Winter
back to spring.
A continuous renewal and rebirth of the world.
And now you might
notice that you too are nature.
There is no separation here.
This energy of all
things is a fabric of life and you are not separate from life.
You are made of
life.
You are life.
Just notice.
And as you turn inwards reflecting on experience
you might notice that the thoughts and feelings that come to mind are
experience.
Everything you've ever experienced has been this energy of life
taking form.
Thought,
Consciousness,
Awareness.
The majesty of a gift that is
so invisible to us yet gives us our whole world.
Feelings,
Sensations,
Longings,
Inspirations coming to you through life's energy because you are life's
energy in motion.
Just notice.
And notice too how experience is fluid and how what
seems like too much in one moment in the next can feel like you're held,
Protected,
Supported even just for a moment.
How you can experience something
so differently from those around you.
How you can suffer more and suffer less
about something that's not changing and not going to change.
Notice how you can
observe the suffering and know that the suffering is not you.
Notice the peace
that's underneath the noise.
Just notice.
Notice the wholeness.
Any sensation of
lack you may have felt is just that,
A sensation arising from thoughts,
Ideas,
Imagination.
There is no lack here now.
There's nothing missing from you.
Those
ideas,
Not truth,
Not you.
What you're made of is what can't be touched,
Depleted
or diminished by any ideas of lack or not enough.
You are already complete and
always were because you're made of life.
Notice too how the labels you may have
taken on as you aren't you.
They may describe a symptom or a behavior or a
habit but that's not you.
Notice who and what you are before the label.
Notice
that all of those things are not the constant here.
They appear and disappear
within you.
The constant is you before those things.
You are the energy they're
made of.
And the ideas you have about those labels and what they mean about
you,
They're made of that energy too.
Ideas,
Imagination,
Not truth,
Not you.
Just notice.
And notice how in this moment all is well.
Notice how you can
think it's not but that's a trick of the imagination too.
Taking you away from
here and now into what if and yes but.
Notice that when the what-ifs subside
you're left with clarity and peace because that's what you're made of.
It's
what bubbles up and shows you what's real,
What's here and now.
It shows you
the truth of this moment.
Notice that.
And now as you listen to my words you
can also take a moment to notice that all of what you thought you couldn't get
through you have.
All that seemed like too much wasn't.
The feelings you thought
would break you haven't.
The wonder and majesty of you is showing itself to you
every single day whether you see it or not.
You are not broken.
How could you be?
You are the energy of life.
You don't need to be fixed.
How could you be fixed?
You are nature.
So as you sit here listening to my voice,
Contemplating the
brilliance and mystery of you,
Here's one more thing to notice.
Everything you need
is right here within you,
Within nature,
Within life.
The resilience that is
nature is the resilience that is you.
You don't have to wish it,
Want it,
Strive for
it,
Build it.
It's what you're made of.
You can take it for granted.
The nature of
you is resilience and this has already shown itself to you throughout this life.
Know this and relax.
Let go.
Rest.
Feel the roots that ground you go deeper and
deeper.
This is already taken care of.
You are already taken care of because you
are life.
