Soon you will have breathed out all the restlessness, all the stress and tension that you had been harbouring within you. Offloading these stolen goods, creates more space throughout your being so you can breathe in even more peace. Breathing in peace creates room for ever more peace.

Now you are breathing in peace and breathing out peace, your breath is a cycle, a continuum of flowing, growing, glowing peace. There is peace within you, above, below and all around. You are saturated with peace. Every cell of your being, every thought, every feeling is peace. You are swimming in the sea of peace, beginningless and endless.

You are the ocean of peace. On the surface of the sea sometimes there will be waves, sometimes there may even be a storm. No matter what is happening on the surface, in the depths of the ocean is always profound peace.

Your thoughts are the waves, your emotions the storm surges on the surface of the sea, but you are the very depths of the ocean, you are the vast silent profundity of the ocean’s infinite, eternal peace.

In the very depths of your ocean there is a cave where you keep all of your spiritual wealth. Now all the peace that you have breathed in, pour it carefully into that cave. Then, tomorrow or the next day when you need some peace in your outer life, you know precisely where to find it.

Now, take three final breaths to consolidate the peace that you have breathed in, taking care it is all safe inside your secret cave. Then when you’re ready, open your eyes.

Continue to sit quietly for a few minutes. Now you are ready to face, embrace and fully live your day.
