definition

image: Close your eyes. Breathe in and out three times. Allow the full and present quality of your mind to break away from your everyday concerns and wander freely. Let yourself enjoy the travels of your mind and relax into the adventure of it all. It will not take you long to realize, that the more you explore, the farther into the world of your own imagination you will find yourself straying but there is no hurry. There really is no way in which you can get lost, your imagination is effectively endless and you have all the time you need and it feel so good to be enjoying yourself so thoroughly. Realize, that as your mind moves from pleasure to pleasure, there has been a slow but recognizable shift in one quality that you might not have noticed. Your personal sense of warmth and coziness, has steadily increased as you have gone along, and now that you explore the idea, you may perhaps have also noticed, that along with every other change from adventure to adventure, you have been feeling more loved, more lovable, more cuddly and cuddled. This may of course come as a surprise, but once you examine the idea, you discover, that perhaps it has a certain merit. In fact, once you have begun to notice, you also realize that you wouldn't have it any other way. Let yourself bask in those feelings and realize just how thoroughly you have missed them and how blindly you have searched for them and most importantly of all, how covertly you have managed to cover up the loss. See yourself think of all the times and ways that your awareness of this hunger for feeling loved has been disguised as some other hunger. Think of all the times and ways, that the feeding of this substitute hunger, has harmed you and displeased you and filled you up with what you did not really need. Return to the love that you have discovered within yourself and know that you are free at last, from substitutions and the process of getting stuffed with useless satisfactions that you did not need and in ultimate truth, did not really want. Feel in full, for however long it takes to bring true and honest satisfaction, the wonder of that internal love and the triumph of that freedom. The allow your eyes to slowly open once again.
