Living in a world as dynamic as ours, I am constantly brought back to the awareness of all that is happening in my surrounds—all the sounds, the movements, the hustle and bustle as life plays itself out around me. But I’m not always so aware of what is happening inside this body I inhabit. Yet it’s a body I can retreat into at any time. Deep within, there is that safe space always waiting to welcome me. And I choose to do so now. I slip neatly and quietly within, going beneath my skin to observe the inner workings of my body.

The first thing I notice is how silent it is down here. It’s as though I’ve dived into a lake’s silent, deep waters. I take a moment to listen to the hush that exists here below the surface. I sense a profound peace; everything around me is so still, so rested. I spend several moments just appreciating this quiet atmosphere down here, as well as appreciating the effect this silence has on me. Just resting here, being still and present, I am being filled, being satisfied.

I now continue my inner exploration, and down into my legs I go. I feel the flow of energy that exists there, this life force moving through my legs, and I enjoy its vibrancy, its fluidity. I take a moment to appreciate the comfort this energy offers as it circulates down through my legs, into my toes, then back up and into my thighs, my hips, before repeating its cyclical flow. I follow this circular stream of energy, observing the healing it brings to the lower parts of my body as it meanders smoothly through them. I focus on an area of my legs that may feel stiff or sore—maybe my ankles, or knees, or hips—and watch as energy spills through this area, its warmth massaging these parts. I feel an immediate relief there, a gentle release of tension, an opening up of the entire area. I return my attention to my legs as a whole and take a moment to appreciate the sensation of well-being that has settled in them.

I now observe this energy as it moves upward, following it as it shifts the direction of its flow toward my stomach. And again, I feel the life force it carries. I feel its healing power as it circulates within my stomach. I feel how any stomach or digestive issues are soothed and simply washed away within its energizing flow.

Now, in my own time, I follow its journey to all the other dark, silent corners of my body: my chest, my shoulders, my arms, my neck, my head. As I move within this warm stream, its contents bursting with health-giving substance, I am given a firsthand view of the areas it enters and the healing it carries out. I watch the various parts of my body being returned to health in the most natural way possible. I feel it massaging my entire body. This energy leaves a warmth in its wake, a gentle throb that invigorates and purifies.
