TIME OUT

Rest in the Present

Take time to sit down, or even better, curl up on your side—in bed perhaps, or on a floor rug, the grass, or a beach—close your eyes, and relax. Breathe, smile, and relax.

Let go and let be.

Let everything settle, and imagine you’re like a baby, an infant, even a fetus back in the womb, free from considerations of time and place.

Rest cradled and at ease, as if floating in the warm and cozy amniotic sac of this instant, free from your habitual grown-up distractions and roles, age, gender, worries, and preoccupations.

Let the warm waters of natural awareness and nowness wash over you and through you, filling you with peace and bliss.

Know that you are held and whole, at home and loved again. Nothing else is happening.

Enjoy resting in the natural state, beyond time, beyond mind, at home and at ease in the natural great perfection of just being.

You are home now.

Go back further.

Now imagine you are dead and buried.

Enjoy that big sleep in the cool mouth of the womblike tomb,

Beyond all vicissitudes of this fleeting life.

Done is what had to be done.

Come home to yourself, your true source

And wellspring.

Breathe the light, the subtlest energy of pure being,

Beyond life and death, coming and going,

And rest in the secret inner heart of the sacred now.
