Keep your eyes closed,
Start to observe your breathing.
As you breathe in,
Feel the expansion in the ribcage,
As you breathe out,
Feel the contraction in the ribcage.
Just become aware of the movements within the ribcage,
As you breathe.
The expansion,
The contraction.
Keep your mind focused on this breathing.
Keep your mind focused on the expansion,
The contraction within the ribcage.
Just feel stillness continuing to grow in the mind.
Watch each in-breath,
Watch each out-breath.
Just become aware of the sensations within your ribcage.
Observe that the more the mind focuses on the simple process of breathing,
The more the mind comes to stillness.
And just start to enjoy this feeling of stillness.
Continue to connect your awareness to your breath.
And as the stillness comes over your mind,
Just in your mind's eye,
See yourself in the most beautiful valley you can imagine.
In the center of the valley,
You see a lake,
Sounds filled with tranquility.
You see a tree just by the side of the lake,
Just in its shadow.
You see an ancient yogi,
His eyes gazing inwards,
Telling you that he's found true happiness by looking within.
Continue observing your breathing,
Observing your mind coming to stillness.
And then in your mind's eye,
You look closely once more to the face of the yogi,
And you see his body filled with light.
You look back at the tree of life,
And see it full of light as well.
And now the yogi takes his hand filled with light,
And gently touches in on your heart.
He lets go.
Before he lets go,
You see that the light from his hand has entered into your heart,
Creating beautiful white light just in the center of your heart.
And it creates a memory within you,
A memory that takes you back to who you originally are,
A being filled with love and light.
And this light that's just touched in on the center of your heart starts to grow from within you.
It melts into different chambers of your heart,
Softens,
It touches in on regions of tension.
It teaches you to forgive,
To let go,
Reminds you your original nature is to love,
To forgive,
To be free.
The light helps you to become aware of different regions of tension within your heart,
Shows you the lightness,
The love,
The freedom you can feel by letting go past hurts,
Past pains.
It shows you how to be free,
Simply forgiving.
This light starts to shine brightly to all the regions of pain,
Sorrow that it sees deep within.
It melts,
Softens,
Helps you to feel free,
Teaches you to forgive,
But also to understand your own pain,
Not to reject it,
But to understand that you were hurt,
To allow yourself these feelings,
But then also to have compassion for yourself,
To understand and know your pain is real,
But it can be healed through understanding,
Through love,
Through compassion,
And the light within your heart starts to grow stronger and stronger,
Starts to emanate outwards.
Feelings of lightness emerge right throughout your heart.
Your heart feels free.
It feels light,
Feels liberated.
The light that started off as a small spark in the center of your heart,
As a gift from the ancient yogi has grown throughout your heart,
Turned into a beautiful light.
It generates feelings of compassion,
Feelings of unconditional love.
Your heart feels softer and softer.
Your heart feels lighter and lighter.
Feel your heart overcome this beautiful,
Healing,
Compassionate light.
Now from your heart,
It moves into your body,
Fills your body with beautiful,
Healing,
Compassionate light.
It feels stiller and stiller.
The light has its own beauty,
Teaches you love from deep within,
Teaches you that you can have compassion for yourself.
You can understand all of your pains and sorrows from the past.
In doing this,
You can liberate them,
Allowing yourself to forgive,
To be free,
And light continues to grow within you.
This light takes you back to who you originally are.
Enjoy this feeling of lightness.
Your whole body is filled with light,
The light of forgiveness,
Unconditional love,
And your mind's eye,
You see the yogi's face once more.
And in doing so,
Just by the gaze,
The light in his eyes,
You are a being of love,
A being of unconditional,
True love.
And now,
You slowly start to awaken,
But you start to see in your mind's eye,
The entire valley is light,
The entire world is light,
As your heart feels light and free,
And as you gaze around in your mind's eye,
You start to see,
Feel,
Observe,
How everything is connected,
How everything,
And its essence,
Contains this light,
How we're all made up of this beautiful light,
That allows us to heal,
Forgive,
Be free,
Be happy,
To show forgiveness,
Compassion,
Happiness,
Joy,
But above all,
Unconditional love,
In your mind's eye,
You see the entire world filled with this beautiful light,
You feel true love within,
Your heart grows lighter and lighter,
You see the entire world covered in light,
You see the yogi's eyes filled with light,
Your own heart free,
Liberated,
Your own entire body just made up of light,
You see and feel softness in your heart,
You connect to this softness,
You know that you're part of the magical light,
That created the universe,
An emanation,
A feeling of love that wanted to exist,
Appear,
That first spark of energy,
That wanted to exist,
Was the energy of love itself,
And it exists deep within your own heart,
It's a spark of light,
Connect to this spark every time you connect to your breath,
This light is you in your very essence,
Not the name,
Not the form,
Spark of light deep within,
You are this pure light,
That represents unconditional love,
Body fills with this light,
Awakens once more,
In your mind's eye now,
You find yourself back,
Your physical body,
But with the awareness,
That your original true nature is this light,
Unconditional love,
That forgives,
Allows you to be free,
Allows you to show compassion to yourself,
And to others,
Connects you back to the world,
To the universe,
Your mind's eye,
You see the yogi once more in the beautiful valley,
And you thank him for awakening that spark of light within you,
You see him as light once more,
And you thank him for his ancient wisdom,
Bringing you back to your original true self,
Being beautiful light,
Keeping your eyes closed,
Just rub both palms together,
Whenever you feel ready,
Take the bottoms of the palms,
Of the eyes,
Whenever you feel ready,
Take the hands away,
Very slowly open the eyes,
Just getting them used to the light,
