Keep your eyes closed.

Start to observe your breath.

Observe the breath as it enters.

Observe the breath as it leaves.

Feel the ribcage expand.

Contract.

Keep the awareness of the mind simply on the breath.

The ribcage expands.

The ribcage contracts.

Feel stillness entering the mind.

Feel the thoughts drifting away.

See how if you examine the thoughts,

Observe the thoughts.

They have no importance.

They simply create emotions within the body.

But the thing that brings you silence comes from simply observing the breathing.

You see how the thoughts can never bring silence.

How the thoughts simply chatter.

How true silence comes from observing the breathing.

Breathe in.

The ribcage expands.

Breathe out.

The ribcage contracts.

Stillness enters the mind.

Breath guides you towards stillness.

Stillness continues to grow within.

You just watch the movement of the breath.

Watch it entering,

Leaving.

Bringing more and more silence,

More and more stillness.

And you enjoy this silence.

You enjoy this stillness.

When the thoughts do arise from this place of stillness,

You just observe them.

You don't interact with them.

Just watch them.

There's waves that come and go.

You connect to the stillness within.

Just observing the simplicity of the breath entering.

The breath leaving.

You engage only with the breath and the silence that it brings to the mind.

And you connect to this stillness.

You connect to this silence.

You connect to this stillness within.

As if it's your true friend.

Just observe the thoughts.

How interacting.

Without reacting to them.

Seeing how observing the breath brings you more and more stillness.

More and more silence.

Now as you connect to the breath.

You feel the breath taking you,

Guiding you to the deepest point of stillness within yourself.

And from deep within the heart.

You observe many lights.

Many energies.

Within your body.

You see the nadis,

The lines of energy that flow throughout the body.

And then you see seven vortexes.

Swirling with energy.

Swirling with light.

Running parallel to the spinal cord from the base of the spine,

All the way to the top of the head.

You see these as the seven major chakras.

And you see many minor chakras throughout the body.

As you start from the base of the spine.

You count up.

And in the center of the solar plexus.

You see the third chakra.

Manipura,

Gem city.

And it shines with the brightness.

Of bright gems.

A city full of bright sparkling gems.

And you feel a sense of confidence growing just here.

As Manipura,

Your third chakra starts to awaken.

You see the swirling vortex of energy here.

You feel courage being awakened.

Not a courage or a confidence that contains ego.

A separate sense of self.

But an inner feeling of courage and confidence.

That overcomes fear.

That allows fear to fade away.

It shows you how fear is a dark cloud that simply floats away.

Manipura shines brighter and brighter.

Giving you more confidence,

More courage at every moment.

The swirling vortex of energy is now losing all of its blockages.

All of the tightness that it's ever held within.

Becomes stronger and stronger.

Moves with more and more energy.

It's becoming unblocked.

And your natural sense of confidence,

Of courage starts to appear.

Courage builds up from deep within.

And you feel a true sense of courage.

Confidence.

The swirling vortex of energy.

Manipura chakra.

Shows you.

That courage,

Confidence are part of who you truly are.

Fear is simply an illusion created by the mind.

Simply something to be observed.

You watch it,

Observe it.

But you realize that fear is not you.

You're composed of pure energy.

Part of this energy is confidence.

Swirling energy.

Just within your solar plexus.

It's the energy that is your confidence.

This vortex of energy continues to move.

Continues to be active.

This is your true nature.

The confidence within.

Fear cannot be you.

Is not you.

It's simply something to be observed.

But your truth lies deep within.

This vortex of energy contains the confidence,

The courage.

It's part of your inherent nature.

You feel manipura chakra awakening.

Confidence and courage awakening inside you.

You see this as a light.

Within the solar plexus.

This light grows stronger and stronger.

Shines brighter and brighter.

And as the courage and the confidence fills you.

This swirling vortex of energy awakens.

You feel a deep sense of peace.

As you realize there is nothing to fear.

Fear is simply an illusion created by the mind.

Peace enters as confidence enters.

Peace enters as courage enters.

And in this sense of confidence and courage.

You feel truly alive.

Truly awake.

The fears just disappear.

As you realize the tricks of the mind.

The mind imagines a future that has not yet come and that will never come.

Only the present moment exists.

The tricks of the mind cannot take you away from here.

By being full of confidence and courage.

Fears of the future disappear.

Just the awareness of the present moment exists.

Life happens here and now.

No past,

No future.

The swirling vortex of energy.

Allows you to feel only confidence,

Only courage.

No fears.

Just the awareness of the present moment in time.

For all of time.

No tricks of the mind.

You're here,

You're now.

And in the awareness of the swirling vortex of energy.

Fears have dissolved.

Just the present moment exists.

And here you find peace and stillness.

With each breath you enjoy the awareness of the present moment more and more.

You look through your entire body.

You see the seven swirling vortexes of energy.

You feel a deep sense of peace.

As you feel the confidence within.

From Manipura Chakra awakening.

And you remain stable.

In this deep sense of peace.

Steady.

You see the lights within.

You feel confidence within.

Fears dissolved.

Fear dissolving away more and more.

As Manipura awakens more and more.

The energy within becomes stronger and stronger.

Just confidence remains.

Awareness of the present moment.

The fears have dissolved.

You rub both palms together.

You generate warmth in the palms.

You take the bottoms of the palms over the eyes.

Bring warmth into the eyes.

Slowly move the hands away.

And as you open the eyes.

You keep the feeling of confidence.

Courage within you.

You allow the fears to dissolve.

Just remain in the peace and stillness.

Of the present moment in time.
