Take 10 deep breaths
And Imagine the most tranquil place you can think of
Real or make believe
Picture yourself there
In vivid detail
Is it day or night
Are you inside or outside
Picture yourself seated comfortably
The temperature is perfect
You are neither hot or cold
In fact you feel completely At ease
Wanting of nothing
In your most perfect oasis
Here you are completely carefree
engulfed in deep sense of relaxation
Your body feels light
Your thoughts are calm and serene
You're eyes are soft
You have absolutely no problems
No worries
No stresses
No fears
No tension
No anger
No bitterness
No angst whatsoever
All the troubles of your life have melted away
Into this deep sense of peace
Into deep calm tranquility
Your body is completely lax
Your mind feels airy
Your thoughts are quiet
As you sit and just soak in the beauty/tranquility around you
You notice the figure of someone you deeply love
Coming into your view
They are slowly walking towards you
With a smile and a look of love
Meant only for you
And you instantly feel any rough edges of your heart soften and melt
As your beloved walks closer and closer to you
You can sense the love they feel for you
You can feel that deep connection
And it is intensely uplifting
Your heart beats to the tune of a beautiful melody only you can hear
Only you can feel
And you are overcome with a feeling
As close to divinity as you've ever felt before
A calm sense of joy
Of wonder
You know
You deeply truly know
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
That you are completely safe here
And you bask in the glory of that feeling
Reveling in how good it feels
To feel complete peace
And deep happiness
-------------------
Now open your eyes
And keep that feeling as long as you possibly can
Welcome to your life
It is not always an oasis
It is not always serene
It is not always full of people that love you completely and unconditionally
But that sense of serenity
Is something you can carry with you
Deep Inside yourself
No matter what your life looks like on the outside
You don't have to give that up
For anything or anyone
Keeping that deep sense of peace
Will help you navigate the hardships of life
Much better than any book, sage or scholarly advice will
Keeping that openness, that warmth, that serenity and true sense and feeling of love will help you live as close to heaven as absolutely possible on this earth
And that is worth more than every bit of gold and every treasure this earth has to offer combined tenfold over.
Living wide open, some would say vulnerable even or truly exposed, living with complete honesty, in complete acceptance and with a deep sense of peace, with no fear, no anger, no judgment or concerns is a true path to heaven.
So. Make of this life what you want. This life you lead is yours alone. No one can live it for you. So welcome to it. Welcome to it all.
(Note to self: Let everything reinforce your sense of peace. Try not to succumb to fear, anger, worry. Don't give in. You have but just this one life. Don't waste it.)
In the name of love & Gloria - U2
