Now is the moment where I begin to search for the heart of my life and my work. I begin here in a totality of sensation. I begin immediately, with the top of the head open to allow a higher influence to enter me and penetrate me to the roots of my being. I begin here now, immediately, with every cell and molecule poised and prepared to receive this influence. I begin here now with a sense of relaxation that permeates the whole body so that life itself holds me in its hands. And without thought or compromise, we are one thing together here. One thing together in breathing. One thing together with no breath. And one thing together with all the breath sounding the single note of being. I allow being to permeate me. No separation. And here at the root of being where the soul touches the unknown, which has the name of God in it, in this place arises the gravity that binds being to planet and the magnetism that aligns it to the sun. From the bottom of the body the heart is open. From the center of the body it beats. And from the top of the body it is prepared to receive. Each perception of being alive here is now more exact for a moment its sacred nature is revealed in all its true nakedness. I am. I am has come to alignment here, and come to wholeness, and to life, and to being. Extend the breath and allow mercy to penetrate all the tissues of this life. Take in this goodness here and now. And join the prayer.
