Welcome,
Y'all.
As you simply breathe,
Simply notice that you are breathing.
Notice your weight pressing down into whatever is beneath you,
Weight given to you by the pull of the planet.
Without that tug,
Your weight would disappear.
Can you imagine yourself without that weight,
Free of the tug of the Earth?
Perhaps you also feel a weight on your mind or your heart,
A weight you placed on yourself.
Maybe just for a little while you can imagine yourself without those weights,
Too.
Imagine yourself free of those tugs.
Can you imagine what it might feel like to float,
To fly,
To be weightless,
To be free,
Unencumbered by the tugs of planet and life?
Experience the space below as offering no support.
You are simply suspended,
Floating in space.
Structures of the mind release.
The reservoir of habits dissolves.
In an instant,
Lifetimes of patterns vanish.
We all have ways of thinking,
Ways of seeing the world,
Ways of responding to the world.
We create these structures in our minds.
If these structures work for us often enough,
We might turn them into habits.
And if those habits continue to serve us over time,
They might merge to create patterns of behavior.
How can we even know if the way we live serves us unless we are willing to step beyond our habits,
Our patterns?
Can we even know how much of reality they blind us to?
You are simply suspended,
Floating in space.
Structures of the mind release.
The reservoir of habits dissolves.
In an instant,
Lifetimes of patterns vanish.
We might think of our exhales as release.
Each exhale an opportunity to release something,
Something that gives us weight,
Some structure or habit or pattern that no longer serves us.
You might allow your attention to rest on your exhales,
Perhaps allowing each single exhale to provide a measure of release.
Structures of the mind release.
You are simply suspended.
Notice,
With each inhale you take,
That your body expands as it fills with air.
Notice that perhaps you feel just a bit lighter as you fill with life-giving air.
We might think of our inhales as expansion,
As a flowering,
A movement in all directions,
A communion with the universe.
Experience the earth below as insubstantial,
A pillow of air,
Air that is always vibrating,
Minute particles in ecstatic motion.
No support below,
No support above,
No support for the feet or hands,
No support for the mind.
Be completely at peace.
Allow each cycle of breath to make you lighter.
Weight falls away with your exhale,
And with each inhale you become more buoyant.
You might imagine yourself floating,
Free of the pull of gravity,
Free of other weights that have been holding you down,
Free.
You are free,
Free to fly,
Free to float,
Free to release,
Free to let go of weight,
To be buoyant.
Go.
You are afloat,
Skimming above treetops,
Above buildings,
As high as you like in the cool,
Clear air.
You are fully supported by your breath,
By a pillow of air,
Sailing,
Soaring,
Skipping.
You are free,
Free to let go of weight.
You are free,
Free to let go of weight.
You are poised above a pillow of air,
Weightless,
Afloat,
Free to relax,
To accept the gift of rest.
You are free,
Free to let go of weight.
You are free,
Free to let go of weight.
A pillow of air beneath you,
Holding you,
Caressing you,
Soft,
Safe,
And comfortable.
You are free,
Free to let go of weight.
Allow yourself to be poised here,
Completely at peace.
You are free,
Free to let go of weight.
Allow yourself to be poised here,
Completely at rest.
