Take your time to settle here,
Softening the gaze or closing the eyes.
Notice what's here.
And could you put down what you've been carrying,
Placing down the heavy burden of expectation,
Planning,
Of needing to know.
Soften the muscles around the eyes,
Letting the eyes float back and down.
Soften the jaw,
Maybe slightly separating the teeth and relaxing the tongue.
Soften the front of the brain and the thinking mind so that thoughts may be here,
But there's less energy directed towards them.
Instead let the energy trickle down towards your heart and towards your belly and softening the belly so that it moves with the breath.
Feel the parts of you that meet support.
Let your body sink down into that sense of support.
Less effort to hold yourself here.
Feel the way you are being breathed,
Releasing any tension or holding that's in the way of a deeper,
Smoother breath.
Realizing that as you inhale,
You're simply opening to receive the air around you and how the air pours into you to fill you up.
As you exhale,
The space around you expands to receive the air back.
Let yourself receive sounds.
Let your ears open wide to receive the different layers of sound in the near and far distance.
Notice the way the sound pours in as you listen,
Not only with your ears,
But with your whole body.
Now,
Bring this same listening presence to your inner world,
Listening to any thoughts,
Emotions,
Sensations that are streaming through you without the need to add any story or even to respond.
A simple listening presence.
You might quietly repeat the words,
I am here.
I am listening.
I am here.
I am listening.
And notice the part of you that lights up in response to these words.
Let your awareness settle into this quiet place within you,
This place that has been here as long as you can remember,
This seat of intuition,
The place where you feel most you,
Most at home within yourself.
Notice where you meet this place in your own body.
Become curious about the subtle sensations here.
How does your system respond when you listen closely to this place,
This quiet place within you that is both full and empty,
Both truth,
Clarity and the great unknown?
Turn lovingly towards this precious stillness within you.
Watering the seeds of intuition with the streaming river of consciousness.
Nourishing intuition with the nectar of kind presence.
Bathing her in the light of awareness.
Meet this place in you with a sense of awe,
Wonder,
A very deep reverence.
And now listening from this place,
What do you hear when you listen from the quiet,
Clear home of your intuition?
Intention speaks in the subtle,
A quiet whisper,
A settling,
A softening,
A sigh.
It comes as a quiet and clear yes that might not be heard above the noise of constant thinking or doing.
Be willing to rest here in the depths of the unknown from which clarity is born.
Listening from this place of quiet receptivity.
You might like to drop in a question and listen for the quiet,
Clear knowing that arises without a story,
Without a should,
Without explanation.
Stay open to the great mystery of life,
Allowing her to lead you moment by moment.
Breath by breath.
Stay here in this open,
Listening presence as long as you like.
