You start to observe your breath.
You take your awareness to the breathing.
You feel the breath entering.
You feel the breath leaving.
Keep your mind engaged on the movement of the breath.
Just keeping the awareness at the tip of the nose.
Feel the breath enter.
Leave.
When you feel stillness,
Silence growing in the mind.
You continue connecting your awareness to the breath.
You feel stillness,
Silence growing in the mind.
Keep connecting your awareness to the breathing.
You feel the mind becoming very still as it focuses on the breath.
You feel the stillness within growing more and more.
You feel the ribcage expand,
Contract.
You feel the thoughts in the mind slowing down.
And you feel the breath guiding you more and more towards an inner stillness.
You watch each in-breath.
Watch each out-breath.
And the inner stillness grows.
Thoughts drift away.
Thoughts that bring with them mindless chatter.
Drift away the more you focus your awareness on your breathing.
And you keep connecting to the stillness within.
Thoughts that guide you more towards the heart than towards the head.
Just watch each in-breath.
Watch each out-breath.
And the stillness within continues to grow.
Consciousness moves more and more away from the mind and its chatter towards the stillness deep within the heart.
Within a tiny chamber of the heart where only stillness exists,
The breath guides you closer and closer towards this point of stillness.
You continue observing the movement of the breath.
You continue bringing silence to the mind.
You enjoy the stillness that comes from observing the breath.
And you allow the stillness to grow within you.
Keep observing the stillness.
And as it grows within,
You feel a light guiding you towards light that naturally exists within yourself.
First of all,
It guides you to a point of stillness,
Of peace deep within your heart.
Point of stillness that the breath has guided you towards.
And you feel a tiny chamber of light over here.
You feel this light expanding throughout your whole body and you start to see and feel your entire body as a body of light.
Stillness where only positive emotions exist.
You feel light in every single chamber of the body,
A light that emanates from the centre of the heart.
You feel now no tensions remaining within the heart,
Within the body.
You feel just love and light emanating through.
You feel an energy of compassion tied into this light,
Again reaching throughout the body,
Looking for any areas of sadness.
Giving these areas compassion and love,
Allowing them to soften and fill more and more with the light within you.
And you feel an energy of joy within the light,
Again reaching throughout the body,
Searching for areas where joy has been hidden.
Filling these areas with joy,
With happiness,
Using the light that emanates from the heart.
So within you,
Within the light deep within yourself,
There are no tensions now,
No negative feelings,
No anger,
No jealousy,
No sadness,
No guilt.
Beautiful light within has dissolved all of these negative energies,
Taking you back to your natural state of love,
Compassion,
Joy and above all pure light.
This light continues to flow throughout the body.
Continues to dissolve any negative energies.
Continues to allow you to feel lighter and lighter.
Just feel negative energies dissolving.
You just feel light deep within yourself.
Then you observe the physical body,
You see how it constantly changes.
How it was once the body of a baby,
Then a small child,
Then an older child,
Then the body you have now.
But this body has no permanence,
Whereas your consciousness,
Your awareness,
Constantly exists.
This body you realise is temporary,
It's not who you truly are.
The being of light deep within represents much more of who you truly are.
You see you are not this body,
You feel something deeper,
An awareness,
A light,
A consciousness that's permanent.
This body is simply a sheath.
You don't need to be caught in its name,
In its form,
Because you are something deeper,
Something far beyond.
In the same way now,
You observe your thoughts,
You observe how your thoughts are always changing,
From moment to moment,
From year to year.
Now there's nothing permanent in your thoughts,
Whereas the consciousness beyond the thoughts,
Deep light within,
That emanates simply love,
Compassion and joy,
Has a permanence.
These positive energies always remain deep in the background,
And the thoughts come and go.
As you realise this,
You realise you're not the mind.
So you're not the mind,
You're not the body,
You're just a point of light beyond.
In the same way you look at your emotions,
You see how they enter and leave different parts of the body,
That thoughts occur in the mind,
Emotions within the body,
But they come and go constantly.
Anger sometimes appears in one part of the body,
But then goes.
Anger sometimes appears,
But again goes.
Jealousy,
Greed,
Sadness,
Guilt.
These emotions come,
But then they go again.
They have no permanence.
They're not the constant,
Beautiful light within,
That's always shining,
That exists beyond.
You feel the light deep within you,
And you see how love and joy and compassion always exist deep inside yourself,
That you're not the body,
And it changes.
You're not the mind,
The chattering,
It's always changing.
You're not the emotions that come and go.
You see how the thoughts of the past and the future are always changing too,
The way you remember things change,
According to what you like,
Or who you like,
Or who you dislike,
Or what you dislike at this moment.
Your dreams are always changing,
Again according to your likes and dislikes,
So anything that the mind creates is not permanent.
The stillness beyond the mind,
The golden light within,
Is permanent.
Your perceptions too,
The way you see the world changes all the time you have new information.
There's no point being attached to your perceptions,
Because they change from day to day,
From year to year,
Every time more information appears.
The only permanence is the stillness within,
The stillness beyond,
The deep light that exists beyond your thoughts,
Your perceptions,
Your memories and dreams,
Beyond your feelings and emotions,
Beyond the awareness of this body.
You realize you're not the body,
You're not the mind,
You're not the thoughts,
You're not the emotions that come and go,
You're not the dreams or the memories,
You're not the perceptions,
But you're the white light beyond,
The stillness beyond,
That simply observes.
You see the awareness of the thoughts,
The feelings,
Simply disappear,
You lose the awareness of Nam,
Rup,
Naman form,
Only to enjoy the light deep within,
The light deep within that represents who you truly are,
This name,
This form will constantly change.
The mind doesn't represent who you are,
It's simply thoughts that come and go,
The feelings don't represent you either,
They simply,
Like the mind,
Come and go.
The only truth is the stillness deep within,
The body of light deep within,
That simply observes the changes in the outside world,
But remains connected to its true source.
Feel everything around you changing in the physical world,
But beyond,
You remain connected to the light deep within,
The light that represents who you truly are,
Being of pure love,
Compassion,
Joy.
Just remain connected to the white light beyond,
Just observing how everything else is impermanent,
You see your original true self as this white light deep beyond,
You keep seeing yourself as this white light,
This beautiful light that exists deep within,
Just in peace,
In happiness,
In joy,
Observing the changes,
But remaining constant,
Constant pillar of light,
Constant being of light.
You continue feeling the golden light deep within,
Just observes,
But doesn't react,
Just lets the thoughts,
Feelings,
The emotions pass through without reacting to them,
Seeing how they change,
Just remaining connected to the inner source of light that exists within the heart,
Just being the observer,
And at the same time being the beacon of white light that shines throughout the body,
That keeps love,
Joy,
Happiness,
Alive within.
Can you start to examine now the nature of the light within,
You observe and feel how its true nature is compassion,
Is love,
Is joy,
This is who you truly are,
You're not the mind,
Not the body,
Not the feelings,
You're the light that exists deep inside,
Keeping this awareness,
Rub both palms together now,
Take the bottoms of the palms over the eyes,
Slowly slowly open the eyes,
As you see the outside light,
Keep the awareness of the inner light awake within you,
The inner light that simply observes without reacting,
Just remains connected to its true self,
The light within.
