A wonderful journey down the story of your life. Reminding you: Your Story is not who you are. The Memory creates an illusion of identity derived from the story. Realize "your story" is just a story, and it is not yours. You are free from it. Enjoy...

Let's take a deep breath in and let go.

Let us sit comfortably and close our eyes.

Take another deep breath in and let go.

Put your attention in the body from the tip of your toes to the top of your head.

Observe the body and let go of any hidden tension you may find.

Let's take a deep breath in and let go.

Imagine yourself sitting in a movie theater in front of you a wide silver screen.

And the movie that is now being projected is a historical feature featuring your own story.

You are a spectator of your own story starting at the age of six months.

You are a baby lying in your cradle.

You look up to this new world,

A blend of sights and sound,

Shapes and colors.

You play with your fingers,

Joyful and curious.

Your mother smiles at you and you are smiling back.

You are six months old.

Take a deep breath in and let go.

Let go of that memory and move forward in time.

You are now five years old,

Growing,

Changing together with your environment.

New friends,

New findings every day,

Full of energy and enthusiasm.

You are now five.

Another deep breath in and let go.

Move forward,

You are now ten years old.

Continue to grow and develop new areas of interest,

New obligations,

New friends and games to play with.

You are now ten.

Deep breath in and let go.

Move forward,

You are now fifteen.

Your body is changing,

Developing new games and areas of interests,

First romances and disappointments.

Different friends to play with.

You are now fifteen.

Take a deep breath in and let go.

Move forward,

You are now twenty.

Your body getting stronger,

New obligations and areas of interest,

New priorities.

You are filled with ideas.

The world seems to be waiting,

Promising.

You are now twenty.

Take a deep breath in and let go.

Move forward,

You are now thirty.

You may be having a family of your own,

Your career,

It's taking a lot of your time and attention,

New priorities in life,

New understanding.

You are thirty years old.

Deep breath in and let go.

Move forward,

You are now forty.

Your body is getting mature.

It has its own likes and dislikes.

Your family is going,

Expanding.

Your parents need more attention from you.

Your career is developing.

New ideas about life and living.

You are now forty.

Deep breath in and let go.

Move forward,

You are now fifty.

Your body is changing.

The pace is getting slower.

Your family is growing.

The children become adults.

Your career is at its peak.

The world is developing around you.

New technologies,

New understandings in science,

In medicine.

You are now fifty.

Take a deep breath in and let go.

Move forward,

You are now sixty.

Your family is growing,

Grandchildren occupying your time.

You may be having new ideas about what's important in life,

New wisdom acquired,

New friends to share that wisdom with.

You are now sixty.

Deep breath in and let go.

Move forward in time,

You are now seventy.

Your body is changing.

The pace is getting slower.

New findings and understandings.

New priorities.

You have a tendency to be more soft and accepting,

Like an old wise man.

You may have bad farewell friends and family that have gone.

You continue forward.

Take a deep breath in and relax.

You are now eighty years old,

Using this opportunity to sit and relax and look back to that story that you've been through,

That wonderful,

Glorious eighty years of your life.

Observe all that you have been through along that story of your life.

Become aware of all that has changed along this path.

The world around you.

The society.

Technology.

Your friends and family.

All those people that you've met along your path.

Don't get stuck or entangled in any specific age.

Gently move along that story you call your own.

So much has changed.

Either your own beliefs,

Your own agenda,

Your own priorities about life,

Your own goals,

What's wrong and right.

All that set of ideas changed so much along these years.

Even your own body changed so much.

There is only one thing,

One single thing has not changed.

One thing that stayed exactly the same along this journey of your life.

Only one thing that is untouched,

Unstained by changing events and that is you.

You are eternal.

Unchangeable.

Be aware of that spectator sitting in the theatre hall observing this story.

You were never born.

And you will never die.

You are the background of that story.

You are peace.

Take a deep breath in and let go.

Gently shift your awareness back to the body.

Sensations in the body become aware of whatever happens within.

You may move your fingers and toes.

Another deep breath in and let go.

Be aware of your own surroundings with a smile.

Let's take one last breath in and relax.

And when you feel comfortable you may open your eyes.
