[Speaker 1]
Clear your throat.

[Speaker 2]
Siri asked me, what did you say? We're meditating, be quiet.

[Speaker 1]
In the future, Siri will meditate with you.

[Speaker 2]
In the future, Siri will meditate with us.

[Speaker 1]
Then, please relax your forehead. And you can focus on that spot in your forehead. It will help you concentrate.

Relax your mouth. Little smile. Pull in your stomach just a little bit.

[Speaker 2]
Soft eyelids. Shoulders, little bit back, shoulders back. Shoulders down.

Shoulders down.

[Speaker 1]
And then, please come to your breath. We'll focus on our breath for a few minutes. Long exhales.

As you start to focus and concentrate, be careful not to tighten your face.

[Speaker 2]
As you start to focus and meditate, be careful not to tighten your face.

[Speaker 1]
Then, please imagine you are standing in the dark.

[Speaker 2]
Complete dark.

[Speaker 1]
And in the distance, you can see a candle flame. Very quiet. And nothing else.

And then the flame gets bigger. And you walk through the flame. And on the other side, everything is dark again.

Then there's a light, a soft white light at the horizon. Like the first light of the dawn. And slowly it gets bigger.

Till the whole sky is covered with a soft white light. Then there's a dark red light.

[Speaker 2]
Of the sunset.

[Speaker 1]
And then darkness again.

[Speaker 2]
You can sit down.

[Speaker 1]
And then a deeper darkness. And a very deep darkness. You are almost unconscious.

Your mind is very deep on a single small point, like a tip of a needle. And in that place comes a feeling or a color like crystal.

[Speaker 2]
Crystal.

[Speaker 1]
And inside of that comes your teacher. Sitting with you. Very peaceful.

So sit with your teacher for a few minutes.

[Speaker 2]
Just quiet. Calm.

[Speaker 1]
The teacher is sitting outside.

[Speaker 2]
In front of you.

[Speaker 1]
Now try to bring your mind inside your own head. And imagine there's a small copy of your teacher. Inside your own mind.

So there's now two teachers. One is full size sitting outside. And the other is inside.

[Speaker 2]
Inside your mind.

[Speaker 1]
About the size of your thumbnail.

[Speaker 2]
Now please spend some time with the thumbnail lama inside the mind.

[Speaker 1]
Very bright, like made of light coming from the inside, like an electrical light bulb. And still there's a full size lama sitting outside. And inside there's a much brighter one.

Small inside your mind. Let's spend some time with the one inside your mind. Enjoy watching their face.

Enjoy the feeling you have with them. And we'll stay for a few minutes. Now imagine the lama on the outside comes to the top of your head.

Becomes very small. And sinks into the top of your head.

[Speaker 2]
Into the small one.

[Speaker 1]
And they come down your spine. Into your heart. And they get very small.

Like a piece of sugar.

[Speaker 2]
And inside that crystal is your teacher.

[Speaker 1]
Very quiet. And very happy. Then please come to your breath.

Three deep breaths. And slowly you can open your eyes. And take a stretch.
