You start to observe your breathing.
You take your awareness to each in-breath to each out-breath.
You feel your mind connecting to your breathing and you feel stillness entering into your mind as you connect the mind to each in-breath to each out-breath.
And you see and feel nothing but stillness within.
Feel how the breath connects you to stillness within.
You feel the ribcage expand.
As you breathe in,
You feel the ribcage contract as you breathe out.
You keep connecting the awareness to the breath.
Feel your mind becoming stiller.
And you connect to the stillness within.
Still observing each in-breath.
Still observing each out-breath.
And you connect to the deepest point of stillness within yourself.
You feel yourself connect to this deep point of stillness within.
So you continue to take the mind to each in-breath,
Each out-breath.
And you continue to feel stillness within.
And just now,
In your mind's eye,
You see a beautiful spark of light entering into your heart.
Starting to soften.
Starting to melt your heart.
You feel that this drop of light is teaching you to love yourself.
To accept yourself for who you are.
To heal yourself.
To teach you nothing but love,
Compassion and joy.
You feel that this drop of light,
This ray of light,
Is searching for any areas within your heart that have any blockages,
Any tension due to anger or guilt or sadness or any feeling that takes away your happiness.
Drop of light searches.
It looks to heal you.
It softens your heart.
Your heart becomes lighter and lighter.
And your heart starts to fill completely with this light now.
Every region of your heart that's ever known pain or sorrow starts to become healed through this light.
Feel the light spreading all around.
Searching for any gaps in the light.
Any regions that have had happiness and love and compassion taken away.
And the light fills you with love,
Compassion for yourself.
It fills you with joy.
It allows you to liberate feelings of happiness that you've held within.
From times in your life where you felt guilty to express your joy,
The light tells you to express your joy,
Share your joy with other people.
It heals your heart,
Releasing any negative tensions from your heart.
Any anger,
Any guilt,
Any fear,
Jealousy.
Your heart becomes softer,
Lighter.
Light enters into every chamber within your heart.
Keep softening,
Dissolving,
Any pains,
Any tensions.
Feel yourself becoming lighter and lighter,
More and more healed,
More and more filled with love.
Which in the ancient world was known as metta or loving kindness.
It's an energy that exists deep within yourself.
An energy that connects you to the entire universe as your heart fills with love and compassion and joy.
You realise that these are the qualities that connect the universe.
Love between beings,
Joy being shared.
Passion for each other.
These qualities are within you and connect you to every being in the universe.
They are inherent qualities.
They exist inside you.
You realise that you've always searched for them in the outside world.
But you only ever need to close your eyes and look deep within in order to find the light,
The love you've always searched for,
The healing energy that exists naturally within yourself.
You realise that you yourself are the light that you've always searched for and you feel your heart swelling with this beautiful light that heals.
Feel the light within your heart growing more and more.
You feel stillness within.
You realise you don't need to search anymore.
Anytime you want to feel and find the love you've always searched for,
You just need to look within to close your eyes and to feel the love within the heart growing and growing.
To see the light within there,
The healing light within your heart just growing and spreading,
Filling you with love,
Love for yourself,
Joy that allows you to express your happiness and compassion that allows you to feel your sorrows,
Release your sorrows,
Understand your pain as only you can understand your pain.
No one else knows all of your sorrows in the same way that you do.
You realise only you can observe your pain and fill yourself with compassion.
You feel light growing within your heart,
Filling you more and more with compassion.
You realise that the same energy of love that created you created the entire universe and that that energy of love is deep within you so that when you love yourself,
You're loving the entire universe and you continue to allow your heart to fill more and more with love,
More and more with acceptance,
Understanding that by loving yourself,
You're loving the entire universe.
As your heart fills completely with this love,
You rub both palms together,
Generate warmth in the palms,
Feeling the love and the healing inside yourself.
You take your palms over your eyes and continue to feel the healing within.
Continue to remember that this beautiful light fills you with love for yourself,
Compassion for yourself and with joy whenever you need it to.
You realise you only ever have to look within to find the joy,
The love,
The compassion,
The happiness you've always searched for.
You slowly take your hands away,
Slowly opening the eyes.
