Renaissance alchemical diagram of the human body as microcosm
The human body is the microcosm of the All. Meditation through the body reveals the power of the five elements, and opens the gateway to all possible worlds.
Feel the weight of this body as grace. Surrender to gravity as to your mother's love. Thus honor the Earth element.
Do not rise above the body, but sink into the body. Feel every cell as an ocean of peace, shimmering with blue-green iridescence. Thus honor the Water element.
Allow this human form to dissolve into electricity, exactly what it is. Dance in the void as countless infinitesimal photons of delight. Thus honor the Fire element.
Glide on ultra-voilet wings of breath into the sky of the heart. See beyond thought: the hollow of each atom, the boundless expanse that contains all galaxies. One and the same space. Thus honor the Air element.
Now merge into the black hole of a proton. Touch the ground of no-thing and discover that the vacuum is as dense as diamond. Become silence itself, the dazzling light of emptiness. Thus honor the fifth element, quintessence of pure awareness.
