Returning to the Center,
I embrace Darkness
and Darkness embraces me.

With a deep breath,
I return to the Center
and embrace Darkness.
A calm quietness
enfolds me.

I enjoy the sensuous sense of being alive.
I breathe deeply
and drink in rich energy.
I breathe it into my pores
and enjoy the reviving feeling.

I breathe slowly and deeply,
slowing my heart rate,
relaxing all muscles.

With each deep breath,
I return to the Center
and embrace Darkness.
I enjoy the sensuous sense of being alive.
