Images In The Dark

"Like a photographer of the invisible, I have spent my life

trying to develop images in the dark room of my heart."

Mark Nepo

Sit in your heart center without any outside distractions. Breathe easily and try your best to relax. Begin to notice the sensations pulsing in your body.  Go slowly, bringing awareness to each hidden part. Patiently wait for your body to reveal what is being trapped inside. An image might surface or a gently whispered insight shared.

You are the light that travels within to explore the darkness. The goal is to face what is disguised as a physical ailment and resolve that which disrupts. Exactly what is it that is causing mental fatigue? Loosen the tightly knit threads to acknowledge that which bothers the soul.

When the heart feels heavy, do not just bear it. Do not just put on a brave face and muddle through. There is a lesson needing to be learned and the longer you ignore it, the greater it shall grow. Discover what is lodged in your heart and decide what needs to go. Be the light to cast out the shadows of restraint and fear.
