Just breathe now
big deep breaths
slowly
fill your lungs
ok good
keep breathing.
Now, some things I will say may not make sense
but don't worry about that, just keep focused on your breath
What that is, is talking to the subconscious directly
sometimes in order to do that effectively, we need to confuse the normal mind a little, which opens up a space
Now, as you breathe I would like you to pay attention to the feeling of breathing
feel the air on your nose as you inhale
feel your chest expanding
feel the air that you breathe moving through you
Just become aware of the sensations of breathing
it is a very natural thing
easy and effortless
completely relaxing and comfortable.
There is no need to even think about it
it just happens by itself and you can just observe, watching and feeling
it is the most natural and easy thing in the world, just breathing
like the tides, your breath comes in and out
like day and night, light and dark
we exist in the space between these opposites
just briefly touching either side, to swing back to the other
like a pendulum
this is the rhythm of nature
this is the way the universe is
light to dark, hot to cold, inhale, exhale.
this is you moving with the universe
with each each breath you take, you can feel this
Your lungs expand and contract
even as a heart beats, contract, expand
it is the music of life
you are alive, watching your body breathe effortlessly - air coming in and out, just so perfectly
like the waves of the ocean, a pendulum swinging, the seasons, the wind blowing, water flowing, rain and evaporation.
As you watch your breathing, you may start to feel in tune with these natural rhythms, you are the same.
this natural dance, you are in step
I want you to imagine now, picture yourself
and what is going to happen is that with each breath you take, you will feel more and more aligned
each breath you take, you will feel more calm, relaxed, secure
now I want you to image that you drop labels of yourself
your gender, drop it
your age, drop it
your name
your job
the way you look
your relationships, your fears, your past
just allow them to fall away like leaves from a tree
and what you will find is that with each label that you drop, you reclaim that energy
you reclaim that space and power
that you were giving to that
and what you will find is that you feel lighter
expansive, vast
like a great weight has been lifted from you
before everything was so much effort, being all these things
but
the universe is effortless
the tree does not struggle to grow
water does not struggle to flow
and you, are the universe
the air that you breathe
you are the breath and the breather
you are life itself
you are the universe, there is nothing to fear
the wind does not struggle to blow
you are the day and the night
life and death
hot and cold
you are the movement between these things
you are the universe in motion
you can feel it and know it with every breath
with every heartbeat
you know this inside, you can feel this resonating
exactly
good
you see, this is the source
what happens is that this is where we start and life happens
and it adds on all sorts of nonsense
and we lose that feeling, that freedom and effortlessness
but we can always go back,
like a a river
you can throw all sorts of garbage into it
but if you go to the source, it will be clear and cool
