“Return to Source” — A Poetical Guided Meditation
I was on a flying 30,000 feet in the air on my way to Bali, feeling transcendent and euphoric as one sometimes does on planes.
The song Time by Hans Zimmer came on through my headphones. I decided to do some Wim Hoff breathing in time to the rhythm.
It took me on a profound journey.. waves of energy pulsed along my spine as I visualised energy flowing through all layers of life.
From the multiverse to the universe, to the galaxy, to the solar system, to the planet, to all the life forms upon her.. to the energy that pulses within us… all is flowing.
I wrote a poem and then overlaid it on Hans Zimmer’s track.

Here are instructions to maximise your experience:
- Listen through headphones- volume quite high
- Relax body, close eyes..
- Sync your inhales and exhales in sync with the rise and fall of the beat.
- Breath fully and deeply through nose or mouth, without any pause between inhale and exhale or exhale and inhale.
- Near the end of the song (at 3:35), there is a crescendo to peak sound- when this crescendo peaks, exhale all air in your lungs… until you are at neutral.. not empty. Relax.
- Hold this exhale breath hold, bringing your awareness into your body… until the song finishes
- Then take a huge inhale, spreading energy around your body.
- Read the words below if you like. Here is the link to listen to the audio.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Return to Source
An Explosion into form,
Energy sprays wildly
into the great mystery
Dancing particles of condensed radiance
Can you feel this flow?
— —
She spins and orbits
A blue droplet in the dark vastness
Amidst geological timelessness
Oceans roar, glaciers carve, species fade away
Can you honour this flow?
— —
Life upon her flourishes
Herds, flocks, packs and pods move
In rhythm, the synergy of sweet coherence
Harmonizing to the beat of a single drum
Can you hear it’s flow?
— —
Tribes come together
To listen to the love song of source
Beckoning us into action
Igniting flames of honour and remembrance.
Can you hear the call, to flow?
— —
For you who accepts this call, it arises within
Undulating through your body
Heart quickens and opens
Breath pours into breath eternal.
As you ready to return to this flow?
— —
Source we ride, through infinity
Across the multi-dimensional plains of timeless space
Surrendering to power & grace
Being that which is called into Being
Let us connect through breath in flow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
In quiet ecstasy
We rest in great peace
Our tormented minds
No longer Beaten by the restless seas
For in the depths of trust we know we flow.
We are the source.
