Aligning With The Elements: Ether

Welcome to this meditation that allows us to connect with the element of space or ether.

Ether is the subtlest of elements.

It is expansive and empty.

It offers no resistance.

It allows for growth and change to take place.

There is space between your cells,

Your breath,

And your thoughts.

Awareness is spacious.

Bring yourself into an open and spacious posture.

Allow your hands to rest comfortably,

Palms up,

In an open and relaxed way.

Close your eyes and connect with the breath in your head.

Feel your breath flow in through your nose,

Up into your head,

Clear,

Open,

Unlimited.

Imagining your mind as a spacious sky and feeling your breath there as a gentle breeze.

As you continue to allow your breath to flow in and out of your headspace,

Connect with your centering thought.

I open myself to the field of all possibility.

I open myself to the field of all possibility.

The seed mantra for space or ether is HUM.

HUM.

As your breath continues to flow,

Begin to silently repeat the mantra HUM HUM as you inhale,

As you exhale,

Allowing the mantra HUM to expand into the open and boundless element of space.

HUM with each breath in and each breath out.

And as you stay with the mantra and the breath,

I'll watch the time,

Noticing your breath in your head,

Feeling your mind relax as you exhale.

Please recall once again your centering thought.

I open myself to the field of all possibility.

Inhale,

Exhale,

And together let's chant out loud HUM.

Please inhale deeply,

Inhale,

Exhale.

Please bring your hands together into a prayer and touch them to your forehead right at your third eye.

We'll honor the element of ether,

Kasha,

With the realization that everything is possible.

We are,

In fact,

Unlimited with infinite potential.

Namaste.
