Transcript

Keep your eyes closed.

Start to observe the breath.

Observe each in-breath.

Observe each out-breath.

Encourage the mind more and more to keep focusing on the breathing.

Bring your awareness just to your nostrils.

Feel the breath entering,

The air in the nostrils becoming warm.

Then feel the breath just at the nostrils leaving,

Marching back with the atmosphere.

Just keep the awareness here at the tip of the nose.

As you breathe in,

See,

Observe,

Feel the breath entering.

As you breathe out,

See,

Observe,

Feel the breath leaving.

Breathe in,

The rib cage expands.

Breathe out,

The rib cage contracts.

Just keep aware of the sensations both in the nostrils and at the rib cage as the breath is entering,

Leaving.

Keep aware of the movement of the breath.

Feel the breath enter,

Leave.

Continue to encourage the mind to focus on the movement of the breath.

Allow the thoughts to drift away.

See that the thoughts are not important.

They don't create stillness in the mind.

Just ask them to leave slowly and become focused more and more on the breath,

On the in-breath,

On the out-breath.

Continue to feel the stillness that grows in the mind.

As you focus more and more your attention to the breathing,

Allowing the thoughts to simply drift away,

Connecting more and more to the breathing.

Feel a stillness within.

See a stillness within as you connect more and more to the breath.

Enjoy this feeling of stillness that arises deep within as you focus more and more on the breathing.

Continue to connect to the breath.

Continue to connect to the stillness deep within.

Continue to feel the stillness of the breath.

You feel nothing but stillness within now as the breath brings you closer and closer to the silence that exists deep within your mind.

This silence is who you truly are.

This is your original true nature.

This is where you belong in this awareness of silence.

You start to see a white light deep inside yourself.

Deep within your heart this white light,

This stillness brings you closer and closer to your true being beyond the mask that the nama,

The ruba,

The name,

The form brings to you.

Your original true nature of stillness and silence and as you connect here to the stillness deep within yourself,

You just imagine yourself,

Picture yourself just in your mind's eye in a beautiful valley.

You see flowers,

Trees all around,

Beautiful lake in the middle,

The sounds of the water just bringing stillness more and more to your mind.

You see just in front of the lake a beautiful bhoti tree and you see sat just below an ancient yogi,

His face in complete stillness,

His eyes reflecting the stillness he's found by searching deep within.

His expressions show you that he experiences oneness with all life.

This yogi who sat deep in his meditation slowly awakens and he says to you the word namaste.

He explains the meaning,

The light within me is the light that shines deep within you.

The whole universe he tells you is connected by a oneness,

There's a light that shines deep within all of us,

There is no separation.

We see the world sometimes as separate and we see the world through the eyes of the mind but in the heart there is no separation,

There's simply love and oneness.

The mind he tells you or manas as it was known in the ancient world,

Tricks you,

Creates fluctuations,

Vritis but your truth lies beyond the mind,

Lies beyond seeing separate forms,

A little buzz,

Separate names,

Namas.

If you move your consciousness he tells you to deep within your heart you'll see a lotus flower and deep beyond the lotus flower,

Deep within is a light of love that controls you,

Controls the life force within you.

Here is a seat of yourself,

Here is where your true existence lies and this is a light inside you which is a light that shines inside me.

This light he tells you comes from the source of all life on this planet,

All life in the universe.

It comes from the divine light of Ishvara which appears to everyone differently at different moments in their lives but it's a source of true love.

It appears sometimes as a god,

Sometimes as a Tao,

The way,

Sometimes simply as energy,

Sometimes as light.

We all have a different connection to Ishvara at different moments in our lives but the energy of the source is the same and it beats within all of us.

You cannot know the source through the mind or through your thoughts.

The yogi explains that over the ages he's meditated on his breath,

Through doing this he's brought stillness to his mind,

He's gone beyond his mind and remained in the awareness purely of his heart where there's no separation.

There's just a oneness,

A love that connects and binds all names,

All forms,

All namas,

All rubas.

This light moves,

Originates in the source but moves through all beings,

Connects us all,

Allows us to see that there's only ever a oneness.

But in order to do this we must quieten the mind,

Observe the breath,

Move the awareness deep into the heart,

See the light here,

Clear the blockages within the heart,

Allow the tensions to release,

Allow for fear to release,

To simply relax,

Allow for guilt to release,

Simply relax,

Allow for jealousy to release,

Simply relax,

Allow for all the negative emotions that can enter,

To become relaxed,

To clear,

So you can connect truly to the white light in your heart,

To be in a oneness with this white light inside your heart.

You see nothing but white light deep inside you and as you remove the negative emotions through allowing the light and relaxation within you to clear the blockages,

The negative emotions of anger,

Guilt,

Sadness,

The only thing that remains is love and this love allows you to see the white light in all beings,

To see the oneness in all beings,

The unity.

And you see and feel a white light passing from the centre of your heart,

Spreading to the entire world,

The entire universe around you.

You see nothing but white light in each and every being in the universe,

Being spread from your heart and entering into your heart from the source of all life,

From Ishwara.

You see nothing but a oneness,

A connection of life,

Of love,

Of joy.

You see how goals have disappeared,

How there's nothing to prove when just love remains,

How life simply becomes a game to be enjoyed,

How there's no future to run after as there's nothing left to be proved in a heart full of love.

There's just a present moment to be enjoyed with all life that you're connected to.

The yogi tells you once more,

The mind sees separation but truth exists within your heart,

Beyond the mind where there's no separation,

Just a oneness and a happiness that's to be enjoyed always.

The yogi tells you once more,

With his eyes beyond any ego,

Any separation,

The light that shines within me,

The light that originates from the source is the same light that shines within you that shines within the entire universe.

We're all connected,

He tells you.

There's just a oneness.

See this light,

This oneness in all beings.

See the light shining through,

Touching the hearts of every beings,

Going beyond the awareness of the mind,

Just looking for,

Searching for the heart,

Allowing every being to connect back to the source.

You just see light in every being in the entire universe.

You look in the eyes of the yogi,

You see the light that shines there,

Connecting to the entire universe,

Including to yourself.

You see his awareness of the source,

Alive in his eyes,

Alive within his heart.

You see the light within him,

Connects to the light,

The hearts that are within the entire universe.

Just a oneness remains.

There's no mind,

No thoughts,

Just a pure feeling of love,

Of connection,

Of oneness.

There is no you,

There is no me,

Just a divine light of consciousness that connects us all.

And you feel the white golden light burning within your heart,

Melting away any sense of separation,

Just allowing you to see and feel light and oneness and connection.

The light grows stronger within you,

Connects you to all beings.

You thank the yogi for his ancient wisdom,

For his knowledge in showing you that the light within you is the light within all beings.

You thank him for showing you that everything is connected,

That we are all connected through the light within our hearts.

You take your hands in Namaste,

Repeat Namaste back to him.

You feel your heart awakening.

You rub both palms together.

You take the bottoms of the palms over the eyes.

Slowly move your hands away,

Remaining aware of the light within your heart,

Remaining aware of the light within all beings.

Feel the connection.

Namaste.
