Welcome,
Luminous One.
I invite you to find your resting place,
Reclined,
Supported,
Allowing yourself to be perfectly held.
Settle your body like moonlight resting upon still water.
Allow the feminine pulse of the Earth beneath you to rise and hold you.
Take a deep breath in for 1,
2,
3,
4,
And a slow breath out for 1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6.
Sensing your body dissolving into the Earth.
Letting the breath move through you like a soft wind across dusk-lit fields.
And as you feel your entire body melting downward,
Invite your sankapa,
Your heart's quiet truth,
To arise.
Perhaps whispering to yourself,
I rest with the harmony of all elements.
Your awareness travels like moonlight through every finger,
Limb,
And curve of the body until your whole body is luminous and awake inside.
Sensing your right thumb,
Your index finger,
Your middle finger,
Your ring finger,
Little finger,
Palm,
Back of hand,
Wrist,
Forearm,
Elbow,
Upper arm,
Shoulder,
Right armpit,
Waist,
Hip,
Thigh,
Kneecap,
Calf,
Ankle,
Heel,
Sole,
Top of foot,
Your big toe,
Second toe,
Third toe,
Fourth toe,
Little pinky toe.
Sensing your left thumb,
Index finger,
Middle finger,
Ring finger,
Little finger,
Palm,
Back of hand,
Wrist,
Forearm,
Elbow,
Upper arm,
Shoulder,
Left armpit,
Waist,
Hip,
Thigh,
Kneecap,
Calf,
Ankle,
Heel,
Sole,
Top of foot,
Big toe,
Second toe,
Third toe,
Fourth toe,
Pinky toe.
Feeling your back body,
Your shoulder blades,
Your spine,
Lower back,
Sacrum,
Your right buttock,
Your left buttock,
The front of your body,
Your chest,
Upper abdomen,
Navel,
Lower abdomen,
Pelvis.
Allow your head to soften,
Your jaw,
Cheeks,
Ears,
Nose,
Nostrils,
Eyebrows,
Forehead,
Crown.
Sensing your whole body as one radiant field of elemental harmony.
Observing your breath as a wave.
Inhale,
Cool air descending.
Exhale,
Warmth rising.
And now imagine five streams of prana.
Earth grounding,
Water flowing,
Fire pulsing,
Air dancing,
Ether expanding.
Feeling yourself resting upon fertile soil,
Steady and unshakable.
Imagine a luminous presence rising from the earth beneath you.
Sensing a cool stream gliding over your skin,
Cleansing,
Moving.
This presence moves like water,
Warm and shimmering around your heart.
And now a golden ember glows within your navel,
Igniting your inner fire with courage,
Softness and wild clarity.
And perhaps repeating silently,
I am radiant and alive.
A soft breeze expands your wings,
Freedom within your breath.
Expanding into the air around you.
Feel spacious,
Intuitive,
Boundless.
And finally,
Dissolving into ether,
The general void of possibility.
Holding you effortlessly.
The vast luminous sky within.
Silence beyond silence.
All of these elements swirl together within you,
Braided into harmony.
And repeat your sankalpa three times.
I rest within the harmony of all elements.
Return your awareness to the breath.
Feel balanced,
Grounded,
Yet light.
Calm,
Yet alive.
And beginning to deepen your breath,
Letting small movements return to your fingers and toes.
And as you gently awaken your body,
Perhaps rise up to seated or stay here in this bask of stillness.
And whisper to yourself,
Within me,
Earth steadies,
Water soothes,
Fire illuminates,
Air frees,
Ether embraces.
I am the balance of the cosmos within form.
And carry this soft,
Rooted luminosity into the world,
Returning,
Renewed,
Whole and quietly powerful.
