Sit or lie down in a quiet spot. Give yourself about ten minutes to do this, including relaxing a bit afterward. Close your eyes and become aware of your breath moving in and out of your mouth. Feel your breath filling your lungs from bottom to top. Inflate your lungs completely and fully. Each time you exhale do it fully and slowly, stretching out the exhalation and completely emptying your lungs. On each inhale refill your lungs even more fully. Let yourself deeply absorb the nourishing oxygen from your breath.
In your mind say "optimum oxygen" three times. This helps your body focus on fully absorbing the oxygen with each deep breath.
Now bring your hands to the center of your chest. Connect to your emotional heart, right in the center of your chest. Feel it pulsing beneath your hands.
Now say aloud to yourself quietly, "I relax my heart." Feel your shoulders let go of your tension and drop gently. Say it again: "I relax my heart." Sense your heart fluttering open a little bit more. Rest in this feeling.
Now one more time say, "I relax my heart." Notice your awareness drop into your heart, like you are present in it. Feel all tension and holding melting down from your heart and out into the floor beneath you. Fill your lungs deeply now and release the air out of your puckered lips. Keep doing this and blow the air out with strength and purpose. Allow the exhalation to come straight from the center of your chest. Keep doing this for a minute or so. When it feels complete, it will subside.
Sense how much lighter your heart feels. Further relax your heart. Let your shoulders relax. Let go into the ocean of love in your heart. Now envision yourself there, floating safely in this ocean. See it stretched before you into infinity. Feel how warm it is, how embracing.
Now, allow yourself to choose kindness in this moment. Relax into kindness. In kindness, there is no judgment, no pressure – just loving acceptance. Feel the infinite love available to you and open your heart to it. It is filled with compassion, and now so are you.
Rest gently for a few minutes until you feel aware of your surroundings again. Rub your hands over your arms, legs, hands, and feet, and really feel yourself present in the room. Then go about your day with the waves of the infinite ocean of love gently lapping inside your heart.
Relax your heart and let go into
the infinite ocean of love within you.
