The Spiritual Garden and the Light

Let your breath clean you of anything unwanted. Let go of it as the breath washes it from you, and replace it with a safe, easy sensation of relief. Now begin to imagine yourself in a place that makes you feel totally safe and peaceful. It can be a place you have been to once, a place you want to go, somewhere you have seen in a magazine, or a place that is totally imaginary and full of fantasy. It can be indoors or outdoors. As you lose yourself in the images and sensations of this place, let it become more real to you. Let this place become very real to you. Add as many details as you like. You can include items there that make you feel happy. You can include animals or a place to sit or lie down. You can add any sounds you love. Let yourself be swept up in the melody of the sounds.

Feel the air on your skin; enjoy the sensation of it. It may be cold or hot, humid or dry.
Look to your right and left. Take in everything you see. Let the place completely surround you. Smell the scents of this place. It may be sharp, gentle, familiar, or made up. Maybe it´s the smell of something baking in the oven. Maybe it´s the salty scent of the ocean or the scent of someone you love. Know that you are the only person who has access to this place. It is there for you at any moment of the day. It is your private, impenetrable sanctuary of bliss.
As you realize this, feel yourself fill up with appreciation for this place. You feel Source in everything here. As you look to your feet, you realize that there is a healing energy here that can materialize. It is magic. You can see it there like a pool of glittering, white, liquid light. You dangle your feet into it. As you do, you can feel it. It is warm and tingling to the touch. You are enamored at its vibrancy. It is energizing, ethereal, and peaceful. It glows as if it is alive.
Everything it shines through is fresh, full of beauty, and full of bliss. It radiates through your whole body, letting you know that everything you say has been heard and is being answered.
There is no barrier strong enough to resist the light. Like a fog being melted by sunlight, it all melts away in the brilliant warmth. It melts away to expose a pulsing, vibrating strength that is always within you. It is your purpose and your passion. You feel it in every fiber of your being. You remember your own vitality – our own eternal nature.
You know with your whole heart and your whole being that you are free – that the heaviness you find yourself trapped in can be burnt away at any moment with our mind. You breathe in joy and light. It is what you are made of. You are healing.
