In a temple meditation, take a moment to get really comfortable, either laying on

a couch or a bed on the ground or sitting with your spine upright and your feet flat

As you breathe and as this beautiful rose so effortlessly opens in the center of that

rose, imagine a beautiful light representing your soul, the inextinguishable ancient

As you continue to breathe in and out very deeply, invite you to very slowly begin journeying

towards that light in the centermost point of that rose of your heart and in a moment

I am going to count down from five to one and as I do, I invite you to travel into that

light, that center point of the rose through the portal of your heart to your own inner

temple, five, four, three, traveling through the light, through the center of that rose

of your heart to one, breathe in and breathe out and find yourself in front of your own

inner temple, begin to walk up the steps, looking up and noticing the exterior of your inner
