The Golden Sphere
(Seeing your subtle beauty)

Sitting comfortably….. relax your whole body… and focus your attention on your forehead… … Through your mind’s eye ….using your power of imagination…create the image of a beautiful… ...spacious….. golden sphere of light …….It radiates a magical feeling of peace which makes you feel at ease…..it is welcoming and, carefully, you step inside… …you immediately feel light and comfortable……Slowly the sphere begins to lift… and takes you on a journey……As you float across fields and valleys…..wonderful scenes unfold …in natural, gentle colours… …

You soon reach a place of breathtaking beauty… …Just imagine you can see the sky reflected in the mirror-like surface of a beautiful lake… and you decide to stop there for a while… … The sphere of light descends… and you step out… .Your eyes are bathed in the purity of nature … … giving you a sense of tranquillity… …Here there is just you…silence….beauty…and peace… … You are at peace… and little by little you also begin to radiate peace… … Looking into the lake, you see the reflection of yourself… … You look serene and deeply content… … A pure… loving energy surrounds you and comforts you… ...You feel secure… ...you feel that simply to be is enough…and everything else is put on hold…

Peace is nourishing you… …comforting you…soothing and healing you… …Your mind is at peace ... a flow of peaceful vibrations cleanses every cell of your body… ...Your thoughts are creating a river of freshness that rejuvenates your whole being ...You feel light…..nothing can disturb this core of peace….You have reached the heart of your inner being… How does this feel?….
There is stability and strength here…This is a place of inner well-being, where it is fine just to be… ...
[music pause]

The time has now come for the sphere of light to take you back…and slowly you begin to return to the place where your journey began…..You find yourself sitting comfortably… focusing your mind again on the centre of your forehead…knowing that at any time, through the vehicle of your thoughts, you can go back and experience a place of peace and comfort within……..

‘The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.’
Buddha, 568-488 BC
