Take a deep breath in.
And exhale with a sigh.
One more deep breath in.
Exhale with a sigh.

So hold your body.
Exhale,
Roots going into the earth.
Inhale,

Continue like this.
Imagine now that you're walking through a forest.
Feel your feet on the ground,
Soaking in any sensations that you feel here,
What you see,
Smell.
Sounds of the forest.
Sensation of the air on your skin.
The earth under your feet.
Walking slowly through a forest.
Imagine now you're coming to a clearing.
A comfortable place to sit or lay down.
Imagine that you're sitting or laying down now here in this clearing in the forest.
And as you do so,
See a circle of protection around you.
This can be made of stones,
Lights,
People.
Trees,
Anything that feels right to you.
Imagine that there's a circle around you protecting you.
Watching over you as you rest.
And then imagine another circle around that circle.
And another circle around that circle.
You're resting here in a circle,
Within a circle,
Within a circle.
Completely protected.
And as you rest here,
Notice what it feels like to be fully connected.
Receiving energy.
Flooded with energy.
Feeling your connection.
To the source,
Connection to the earth.
Air.
Your connection to others.
Your connection to something bigger than yourself.
Feel yourself nourished here.
Soaking in energy receiving.
Now let this go for a moment and notice what it's like to give energy.
Seeing all the way that you support others in your life.
Noticing that energy going out.
Now feel yourself receiving energy again,
Letting yourself fill up.
As if you were a vessel filling with water,
Every nook and cranny full with energy.
Feeling your feet,
Your legs,
Hips,
Torso,
Full of energy,
Shoulders,
Arms,
Hands,
Fingers,
Neck,
Whole head,
Whole body full of energy.
And now be curious about noticing both at the same time,
Feeling yourself fully resourced.
Energy flowing in and fully giving.
Energy flowing out.
Energy flowing efficiently,
Purposefully,
No effort.
Balance.
Notice what balance looks like.
Feels like.
Imagine yourself sitting in that balance through all the events of your life.
Deeply connected to your energy source.
Confident there's enough to give to what you choose to share it with.
Receiving energy.
Using that energy efficiently without effort.
Rest and that sense of connection and balance.
Now letting all that go and in this peaceful place that is yours alone.
Here where you are deeply anchored.
And nourished.
Here in this place you can let go of whatever doesn't serve you.
Moment and let go of whatever doesn't serve you,
Seeing it as leaves falling to the earth.
Now witness a light come on inside of you like an internal power switch.
Rest in this light.
Rest and receive.
Resting for a few more breaths.
And from this place of silence,
Let your intention come back into focus.
Repeating it to yourself three times.
Feeling it come from your heart,
Resonate through your whole body.
See it play out in your life.
Taking a few moments asking your body,
Is there anything I need to know right now?
And listen.
With curiosity,
Even if The answer doesn't make any sense.
Maybe a sensation,
Words,
Images.
Take a moment and listen now.
And now letting yourself feel any rest or relaxation in your body,
Any slowing down.
And vow to bring some of this into your waking life.
And begin to move your body if you're waking up.
If you're going to sleep,
Sweet dreams.
Yoga Mitra is complete.
