Brother Richard

In and out.

In and out.

And as we breathe in, we follow our breath all the way to the very center of the breath cycle, finding that tiny point of peaceful stillness where the in-breath becomes the out-breath, where the out-breath becomes the in-breath.

And as we center ourselves on that moment, drawing our attention or awareness totally to that moment, to that place, to that point, we can see it as a point of clear light, of clear connection.

And as we stare into that point of light,

We begin to visualize a door appearing there.

A door that only we have the key to.

The door into the very center of our awareness.

And so turning the key, we enter in.

We enter the inner sanctuary of our being, a place of perfect safety, peace, place of depth and grace, place of encounter with divine light.

And because this is your own inner sanctuary,

You decide now how it looks, how it feels.

If it's a room, you may like to furnish it.

If it's a garden, you might decide to design it.

If it's simply a space of light, you may wish to just abide there.

This is your connection with the present moment as a doorway into divine love.

So take some time to sit there, to be still, to rest in your inner sanctuary.

Totally safe.

Totally calm.

Totally at peace.
