The Master leads by emptying people’s minds
and strengthening their cores.

Part One: Clearing
o
Come into the present by leaving concerns for past and future.
Fall still and let go all physical tension.
Connect mind with the senses.
Feel the weight of the body on the chair,
the play of air on the face and hands.
Include everything:
breath, body, smell, taste, sight, touch, sound.

o
Then he showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Revelation 22: 1-2
