Building Radiance with Peace

We are lighted beings. We can learn to recognize and build our radiance using the breath and the frequency of Peace. We begin by breathing into our physical lungs and heart, circulating the breath and prana. We extend that light to the entire body, which begins to sparkle with Light. Next we breathe light into our emotional body, circulating the light and cleaning anything that needs to be released. Next is the mental body, which becomes fluid and clear so we can lift into the higher mind and hear more clearly our guidance. Finally we find the brilliant shining etheric body, which unites all of our being. It too fills with more and more light as we breathe into it. We fill with the light of Peace, which folds all patterns into one harmonious energy. We begin to flow with the power and dynamic energy of peace. We begin to understand on every level how we can increase the peace of the world by being peace in our own being.

And before we begin our spirals on the forehead at the Third Eye breathe in as the third eye, drawing the breath deeply into the forehead into his head deep into your mind is a spiral of energy. spiraling out so that you began to let your focus rest at your third eye and as though you can breathe right in to the third eye the energy and flow goes straight into the head. cleansing and clearing this lens of perception.

And notice the place to which the breath is carried you in for now for our meditation today we are going to continue to focus upon the breath in a very light and gentle way and use that breath focus to call more and more light into our being. So for the next few cycles of breath, I invite you to recognize the light that moves with the breath as it draws into the body into your lungs. Just breathing in, notice your lungs filling and then gently releasing the breath whenever you're ready. And with each breath that comes in

Let there be light

Miriam: 19:35

more and more light filling the lungs penetrating to all of the tissue of the lungs brilliant, beautiful, sparkling light and on your next inhalation into the lungs recognize that part of the breathing in and out process is that the blood in the body He moves through the heart, the oxygenated blood moves his heart. So you are drawing that brilliant prana filled breath into his heart as well. heart and lungs work together they are partners. Notice how really on your heart Yes, so radiant, so full of light. And remember that our intention for our practice was to increase our radiance building radiance. So we are noticing our natural radiance, and we are adding to it as our breath. Now the next inhalation, let the prana the light of the product draw into the lungs and heart and circulate freely throughout your entire body, illuminating all of the cells of your body thanking your precious body for being the container of your consciousness in this lifetime. This perfect blueprint. Need flesh made hole filled with beauty filled with light filled with radiance all over tips of your fingertips in your toe tips. The top of your head. Notice how your body is now beaming is a brilliant radiance It feels wonderful to appreciate the body. Now our next body she's is our emotional body. So I invite you on your next inhalation. To just imagine a layer of emotional energy all around your physical body is your emotional body. And with your inhalation it is filling with this beautiful sparkling light that we have been cultivating. Recognize your emotional body as it is in this moment. Just scan it with your imagination. It's alright if you feel like you're making it up. That's fine. We're practicing becoming more aware of our emotional body. If there was some place in your emotional body that seems diminished, somehow gray or empty and needing some light, just draw the light straight in there. You don't even have to know what emotion might be attached to that. Just allow the breath to draw right in. With each breath, picture more and more light, filling that space. And whatever was there that needed to be cleansed is just automatically released onto its next level of its adventures in the universe. Just releasing it easily. Letting all of this be very easy, playful. We're playing with a light playing with the energies. Notice a fresh circulation in your emotional body your emotions are flowing. They're flowing through nothing is caught or stuck but just moving the breath is clearing it all through. You may have some emotionality arising or a particular emotion just observing. Now move to our mental body about the head and shoulders. Some perceive the mental body as having a blue light. But you may not perceive that at all This is fine mental body thoughts and thought forms. Breathing directly, perhaps directly into your third eye and illuminating your mental body from within with your breath circulating the breath freely throughout the mental body. Again, noticing what is there I mean you brought your attention to your mental body. Did you squeeze your eyebrows together? Let them be soft that you scalp the sash. There's something about smoothing out the scalp with your imagination that somehow quiets the brain and the thought processes and the ordinary thoughts of our everyday activities quiet they are symbolist you they drop away or float by Hello thoughts. Goodbye looks like clouds on the summer day. We are not attached to the thoughts we just let them be what they are the activity of the mind. We are gently observing that and breathing directly into our mental body refreshing it like a wind at the beach, you know how the wind blows at the beach and the salty air sort of tingles and dances about and sparkles in the sunshine and it says those a sea error can just blow right into your mental body and it cleanses us and refreshes us that's why it's so lovely to walk at the seashore notice any sites that need a little more light or any place in the mental body that could use a little additional light just breathe directly in remember to breathe less all the thoughts they are part of you but they are not you. You are the one who is having the thoughts you are the one who thinks the thoughts. So who is that? Let's be with that being our etheric body, an energy body that surrounds and envelops all the other layers or sheets of our being a brilliant radiant cocoon of light all around you brilliant and large.
