Rest now
here
as the expression of nature you are

An embodiment
of existence itself

---

Let existence breathe
through you

as you

---

Surrender to its intelligence
its instinct
its natural movement

which is already
what you are

---

Notice what is happening
in this moment

Just this

---

An am-ness
A presence
An is-ness

---

Notice this here-ness

this quiet presence

---

In moments of
restful alertness
calmness
relaxation

there is clarity

---

A silent
yet total
awareness

---

Be this

this beingness

---

And gently watch
whatever draws your attention
whatever pulls energy
away from the now

---

Look softly
into what arises

to the source of
thought
emotion
reaction

---

Notice how different perceptions
evoke different states
different “realities”
different experiences

---

Abiding here

watch unconscious patterns
arise
and fall

---

See how the mind wants
to intervene
to become involved
absorbed
identified

---

Once this movement
is recognized

this subtle tension

it releases

---

You let go

---

Back to this

Natural abidance
in the here and now

---

Rest here
for a while

Feel the freedom

---

Whatever takes you away
is temporary
assumed
unreal

---

Allow yourself to be
as you truly are

---

And your reality

your nervous system
your insights
your life

---

becomes more intimate
more alive

and yet
boundless

---

“The real is always within you.
You don’t need to wait to be what you are.”
