InnerSelf

Imagine the presence of a great warmth that feels utterly nurturing, good, and peaceful. See it as the most beautiful color or colors that you can imagine.

Notice your emotions.

• What color or colors are they?
• What shapes do they make?

insertsm Notice your thoughts.

• Again, what colors are they?
• What shapes do they have?

Notice the energies of your physical body.

• Where are they moving?
• Where are they not?

Try slightly adjusting the way that you are sitting and see if your energies move more freely in your body.

• Notice how the planet feels, both the earth under your feet, and the sky all around.
• What does the Great Mother, the earth itself, wish to say to you?

Go back now to your body.

• Find a place of tension in it that has something to say to you, and ask what that is.
• When you are done, take a deep breath, let it out, and then take another.
• Let that tension go.

Remember a happy feeling from the past, or imagine one now.

• If you like, tie it to a scene or image.
• Feel the feeling. Be in the middle of it.
• Let the happiness of that feeling fill you full and overflow beyond you, filling the room.
• Imagine sharing it with loved ones, and receiving their happiness as well.
• Continue exploring this happiness. If it has a color and shape, see it; if it has movement, feel it.
• Ask it to open itself to you, so that you can be a part of it.
