Imagine a pearl, deep inside you, of pure, white light, smooth and shining, brilliant and clear, a thing of beauty – it is your beauty within, it is you, your true self.

Focus on it, absorb it, visualize its shape, colour, size, brightness, imagine it as big or small as you wish. Talk to it, sing to it, speak to it in any way you feel you want to, express any emotions you want to, acknowledge your love and appreciation of it.

Know/realize it is always safe, in its own space, deeply within. Give it colour, space,shape, form, sound.

Come back when you feel ready, leaving the pearl in its safe, secret, sacred place. Clothe it with bones, blood vessels, muscles, organs etc., finally package it in its final “envelope” – your skin. Know everything is in place around the inner you; the you is intact, protected, safe, out of harm. . . .and always shining.
