Transcript

Keep your eyes closed.

Start to observe the breathing.

As you breathe in,

Feel the breath enter at the nostrils.

As you breathe out,

Feel the breath leave at the nostrils.

Just keeping the awareness at the tip of the nose.

Feel the breath enter,

Leave.

Just observing the tip of the nose.

The breath enters in at the nostrils.

As you breathe out,

The breath leaves via the nostrils.

Just observing each in-breath.

Just observing each out-breath.

Breathe in,

Breathe out.

Now as you breathe in,

You feel the sensations within the nostrils.

The air entering.

Consciously feel the air entering.

Then as you breathe out,

The breath merges back with the atmosphere.

Constantly,

Consciously feel the breath leaving via the nostrils.

Breathe in,

Breathe out.

Notice how the thoughts drift away.

How the thoughts just bring stress and confusion.

And how by observing the breathing,

You bring stillness and silence.

The thoughts continue to drift away.

You let them drift away.

They lose their importance.

They lose their hold on you.

And the breath becomes the main focus.

Now take your awareness down to the ribcage.

As you breathe in,

The ribcage expands.

As you breathe out,

The ribcage contracts.

Stillness,

Silence continue to grow in the mind.

You breathe in,

You breathe out.

You focus the mind,

The awareness on the breathing.

Breathe in the ribcage expands.

Breathe out the ribcage contracts.

Thoughts continue to move away.

Stillness continues to grow in the mind.

Breathe in,

The air enters via the nostrils,

Expands the lungs.

Breathe out,

The breath leaves via the lungs,

Moves to the nostrils,

Mixes back with the atmosphere.

Observe the entire movement of the breath.

As you breathe in,

As you breathe out,

The stillness in the mind continues to grow.

Continue to observe the breathing.

Breathe in,

Breathe out.

Breathing in,

Feeling the movement of the breath.

Breathing out,

Feeling the movement of the breath.

Continue to observe stillness,

Silence in the mind.

Continue to focus on the breathing.

Continue to observe the breath.

The mind becomes more and more silent.

And as the silence grows within,

You see yourself in your mind's eye.

In a beautiful valley,

You see flowers,

Trees,

A special tree in the centre of the valley,

A tree filled with life.

And just in front of the tree of life,

You see a beautiful lake.

Hear the sounds of the lake.

They fill you with stillness and calmness.

Just listen to the sounds,

Feeling yourself becoming stiller,

More calm all the time.

Nothing but stillness remains within you.

And just in front of you,

Sat below the tree of life,

You see an ancient yogi sat in complete stillness.

You see how he's connected to everything,

How he's at one with nature,

With the world,

With everything.

You see in his eyes,

There's no sense of separation,

Just a sense of being connected.

He opens his eyes.

He asks you to come and sit by him.

And he whispers to you one word,

Bourna.

He tells you in the ancient world,

It was believed that everything in the universe is connected through an energy called Bourna,

Or wholeness,

That everything was filled with energy.

And that this energy of Bourna,

Of light,

Is all around us.

He asks you to look through the valley,

To look and observe how there's life everywhere,

How the trees,

The plants,

The flowers are continuously growing towards the sun,

How the animals move,

The creatures,

Even the humans move with an energy.

And this energy,

He tells you,

Pervades all things.

You see it as the wind moves the blades of grass.

There's an energy in the wind.

There's an energy in the sun that provides heat.

There's an energy that pervades all beings,

All of nature.

This energy is behind all phenomena.

But energy is one and the same.

The substance that we're all created out of is Bourna,

Wholeness.

It's not different in one being to another,

Nor in a being to a plant.

Even rocks contain energy,

He tells you.

And you remember how rocks are made up of minerals,

Which are made up of atoms,

Protons,

Neutrons,

With electrons moving all around.

Essentially,

Everything is made up of energy.

And you observe throughout the valley,

Every single thing in this universe has energy.

The yogi reiterates to you that this energy is Bourna,

Fullness.

And its original source was golden light.

It originated from the source of light that created the universe through love.

And this energy remains in all things,

In all beings.

We're all connected by it.

And he asks you to spend a moment just seeing,

Observing the connection that exists in all things.

That there's an underlying pervading energy in all things.

This energy is Bourna,

Fullness.

And you see nothing but light all around.

This light is in the stars in the sun.

It's in the moon.

It's in the lake filled with tranquility.

In the eyes of the yogi,

In the tree of life,

In the flowers,

The plants.

It pervades the entire universe.

It's everywhere.

The energy that connects us all exists throughout the universe.

In all phenomenon,

We're all made up of this same one energy,

The same Bourna,

The same wholeness,

The same golden light that penetrates the entire universe.

Beings or bodies or minds may be different,

But the essential energy that connects all of us,

Consciousness,

Awareness,

Bourna,

Fullness,

It's all the same.

If you look closely,

He tells you,

And you see how everything is made up of energy.

You can see that the only thing that exists is a oneness.

There's one energy that binds,

Connects,

Everything,

Everyone in the universe.

There is no you,

No me.

Separate bodies and minds are there,

But the essential nature of the universe is oneness.

It's energy.

It's fullness.

It's the golden light of Bourna that connects all of us.

In reality,

When you look beyond the body and the mind,

There is no you.

There is no me.

Just an eternal connection,

An eternal connection that connects all of us.

You feel stillness,

Deep within.

You feel the energy of the universe.

As you realise that in reality there is no separation,

No need for competition,

If the essential underlying energy of all of us is simply a oneness,

You laugh inside as you realise that at one point you saw differences,

You saw competition,

And your heart now,

Filled with the golden light,

Makes you aware there are no differences.

There's simply a oneness.

When your consciousness fell into the awareness that there were differences,

That there was competition,

Your heart felt heavy,

And now your heart can feel light again,

Knowing that this is simply a game,

And at the end of the game,

We all realise that we're connected.

We're all brothers and sisters.

The idea of separation was just part of the game,

Where we thought we were different,

Separate,

But now we know again that we're all part of the oneness,

We're all part of a union,

The oneness that is yoga,

Connection.

There is no you,

No me.

The only thing that exists is purna,

Fullness,

The energy that joins all of us.

Seeing separateness,

Differences,

Was just part of the game,

But now as the game develops,

You look into the eyes of the yogi,

And you see the world as he does,

Just as a oneness,

A complete interconnectedness.

No you,

No me,

No I.

We're all just part of the great living,

Breathing,

Great mother earth.

She's inside us,

Showing us how everything is oneness,

How everything is connected,

Showing us how we're all made up,

This beautiful light that is the light of purna,

Wholeness,

A wholeness that pervades the entire universe,

That is the energy that created all of us.

The force of love that created all of us is constant,

It allows for the dream of separation,

The game of life to happen,

But as the game progresses,

We remember once more,

We're all part of each other,

We're all part of the same energy of love and beauty that created the entire universe.

With this awareness you see,

There can never be a separate you,

A separate me.

We're all part of each other in every way,

All created by the same source of love.

Eternal,

Undying,

Constant love.

This love created the universe,

Created all forms,

All beings,

Gave us all life and exists within each and every one of us.

Exists within the trees,

Within nature,

Within everything that surrounds us.

The only true energy that exists is this energy of oneness,

Of life,

Of purna that surrounds us.

Know you,

Know me,

The world just as the yogi sees it through his eyes,

Everything being made up of the same energy of love that created all of us.

Know you,

Know me,

No separateness,

Just a oneness,

A harmony.

As the game of life progresses,

We realise once more that we're all connected,

We're all part of each other.

It's just a oneness that exists,

A fullness that pervades the entire universe.

You see everything connected,

You see the beautiful golden light in all things,

All beings,

All life.

You see and feel beautiful golden light all around.

Know you,

Know me,

Just a spirit of love,

Of golden light that pervades your heart,

Pervades the heart of the entire universe.

The yogi tells you that everything is connected,

Everything is part of a oneness.

Know you,

Know me,

We're all part of each other.

You just see the golden light that's pervading the entire universe.

You feel it in the depths of your heart,

You see it in the yogi's eyes,

You feel connection to the entire universe,

The sense of separateness dissolves.

You thank the yogi for his ancient wisdom,

You see the light in his eyes,

The true feeling of being connected and this inspires you to spend your life looking,

Generating the sense of connectedness within,

The awareness that there's just a oneness in the entire universe,

Just the golden light of connection that pervades the entire universe.

Know you,

Know me,

Just constantly feel the golden light shining within.

Take your hands in the masti to thank the yogi for his ancient wisdom,

For allowing you to feel the connectedness,

The golden light within.

You rub both palms together generating warmth in the palms.

You take the bottoms of the palms over the eyes,

Just bringing the warmth back into the eyes and then you slowly move your hands away,

Slowly opening the eyes,

Still keeping the feeling of connection,

The awareness of purana.

Fullness alive within you.
