A fascinating journey towards the Intellect and beyond. Reminding you: The Intellect is not who you are. It is the internal movie critic. It determines Good and Evil for you. When it accepts reality, you are afraid of the changing events. When it rejects reality, you suffer. Learn to listen to your Intellect, but don't believe it or use it as an answer to the question: "Who am I?" Enjoy...

Take a deep breath in and let go.

Take another deep breath in and relax.

Let's close our eyes,

Sinking back to ourselves.

Observe the body.

No need for any tension hidden within the body.

Relaxed and peaceful.

Take a deep breath in and let go.

The breath is gently soothing you,

Ironing the mind.

You are at ease with your body and breath.

From that peace within,

Gently open your eyes.

Just so that you can be aware of your surroundings.

Be with the information,

Your eyes are gathering.

With new eyes.

Peaceful,

Yet attentive.

Observe your surroundings as if it was the first time you lay your eyes upon them.

With no objection or judgment.

You just observe.

Observe this intellectual need to name,

To categorize.

You may experience an inner judgment toward that need.

Observe that.

Thoughts come and go.

Like scenes projected on a silver screen.

Let them be there.

They are powerless.

Let's close our eyes and take another deep breath in and let go.

Gently shift your attention to the inner worlds.

On the screen of your mind.

A movie is projected.

Sensations,

Emotions and thoughts are projected constantly.

You just sit and watch.

This movie is not who you are.

This is just a movie.

Once again,

Slowly and gently,

Let us open our eyes and look again.

Look again.

To whatever is out there.

With accepting eyes.

Just observe.

Whatever you now see,

Become it.

If you see a tree,

Be that tree.

If you see a picture,

Blend into it.

If you see a bird,

Rise high to the sky.

If you see a bird,

Rise high to the sky.

You are free.

Free.

Right now.

You are free.

Let's take another deep breath in.

And let go.

Gently put your attention in your body.

Sensations in the body.

You may move your fingers and toes.

With a smile,

Let's take another deep breath in.

And relax.

Become aware of the room and the surroundings.

One last deep breath in.

And let go.

And when you feel comfortable,

You may open your eyes.
