Journey to the Sky of Mind

Take several long,

Slow,

Deep breaths deep into your belly.

And as you inhale in,

Feel the life-giving oxygen suffusing through your body and pause a moment at the end of your exhalation and again at the other end to find the gap.

And just notice what may open up each time you complete a cycle of breathing.

Breathe out your tensions and your cares and find yourself relaxing deeper and deeper with each breath.

And as you breathe in,

Allow yourself to feel lighter and lighter so that you start levitating slowly up and out of the room that you're in.

But as you leave this room,

Notice the edges of the space you are in and the way your mind adapts to the edges of that enclosure.

And as you rise up out of the building and up very slowly into the air like a bird,

Observe how your mind begins to expand into the surrounding space.

Look around you from a bird's eye view at the surrounding place just above where you were sitting a moment ago.

Listen to the sounds.

See the expanse.

And see if you can hear all the birds that your ever-expanding mind can now enclose.

Imagine the bubble of your mind going out five miles,

Ten miles,

A hundred miles.

Imagine that your mind extends all the way to the edge of the horizon in all directions and all the way up to the very top of the stratosphere.

Feel the clouds brushing up against the inner skin of your mind.

And see if you can hear the volume of the sky of mind.

Just take a moment to allow your extraordinary mind full of clouds to be the sky itself.

Now take a deep breath in and with one exhalation imagine that your sky of mind pushes out now beyond the Earth's atmosphere into space through the solar system out to the edges of the very universe itself.

Your personal mind is now merging with the universal mind,

All-encompassing,

All at peace.

As you descend slowly back into the room and into your chair,

Keep your sky of mind as big and as wide and as peaceful as this.

With thanks for your extraordinary universal sky of mind and have a wonderful day.
