🌅 Settling In
Find a comfortable seated position.
Close your eyes gently.
Take a deep breath in through your nose, and exhale slowly through your mouth.
Allow your body to relax, releasing any tension you may be holding.
Feel the weight of your body sinking into your seat.
🌟 Centering
Bring your attention to your breath, noticing the natural rhythm of your inhales and exhales.
With each breath, feel yourself becoming more present and centered.
Allow thoughts to come and go, simply observing them without judgment.
✨ Visualization
Imagine yourself in a crowded underground train, surrounded by people from all walks of life.
As you look around, begin to see a soft, warm light emanating from each person.
This light represents the divine presence within them.
Notice how this light connects everyone in the train, creating a web of shared humanity.
🌠 Expanding Awareness
As you step out of the train and onto a busy street, see this light in every person you pass.
Observe how it shines in those who are joyful, and those who are struggling.
Recognize that this light exists in all people, past, present, and future.
Feel a sense of reverence for each person you encounter, knowing the divine dwells within them.
