definition
image: Close your eyes. Breathe in and out three times. Relax and move from your breath to the inner realms of your body. Feel the firm quality of your chest wall soften and open. Watch as your own hand reaches in and gently takes out your heart. Notice that even though it is no longer in its place, it continues to beat rhythmically and strongly. Perhaps more more rhythmically and more strongly than it was just a few moments ago. Notice that your heart is growing rapidly and carefully set it down where it will have enough room to fill its needs. Time has passed and your heart has grown to the size of a small house, walk around it, you find an entrance and go in. Realize that there are many secrets hidden in here. Secrets, that could never have been seen, while the heart was in your body and of such small size. Stand for a moment in wonder, then wonder just what it is that you might learn here, within the secret chambers of your heart. Wander through until you find a set of secrets that interest you at this time particularly. Go reverently up to the first secret and examine it carefully. Let yourself enjoy surprise. Do the same for the second secret and the third. Let yourself feel satisfied and fulfilled to have this knowledge and realize that you have had enough for now. Allow yourself to realize just how much will be different, now that you know these secrets. Be grateful to your heart for holding these secrets for you and and allow your sense of satisfaction flow over onto it as it shrinks from house sized down to just the size necessary to fit nicely within your chest. Replace your heart and notice that it too feels different and in a way that you can't help but approve. Take a moment to think about all that has happened since your chest wall softened and be amazed and vastly pleased. Then allow your eyes to slowly open once again. (Chavez)
