ALIGN AND EXPAND: A JOURNEY TO THE CROWN

V 33.5 changes wording from 'I move my awareness' to 'I move my focus of attention', and from 'state of expanded awareness' to 'state of awareness.' Minor details perhaps, but I feel the new wording more accurately expresses what is. Additional changes make the experience smoother and more potent.
Meditations
'Align and Expand' is a soul journey developed for my practice.
The crown refers to the crown of the head, as the imagery travels from the chamber of the heart space up through one's own energy centers, to the crown, and then into the Void. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about.
I suggest reading and hearing the scrolling text video, one time through. Also recommended for reading is her testimonial of the experience, by Mandeep Bachheta.
Other tips:
• There are no right or wrong ways to travel the 'Align and Expand' Journey.
• Successful journeys are more likely with dedicated and uninterrupted practice.
• The experience grows deeper with repetition, for me 1-2 times per day.
• The journey is in two segments, one to the roots, the other to the crown.
• This has been revised multiple times, to come to a smooth version that is easier to follow and visualize.
• Bubbling Wells (energy centers in the bottoms of the feet) is a term from Qigong.
• Both journeys Incorporate deep breathing, and travel through the Chakra energy wheels.
• This journey has some personal choices incorporated, such as the animal ally.
• My animal ally is a shape-shifter and can appear as various creatures.
• Feel free to visualize your animal ally spontaneously, by intuition.
• Accessories may enhance the journey but are optional.
• Please hear and follow your own internal guidance.
• Please ask if you have questions, or need help.
Some terms will be unfamiliar. Each person can trust and follow their own imagery and understanding. For me,
I "see" the Present Moment Sphere as a golden white cloud of high vibrational energy, filling and encompassing my body. It grows stronger with each journey. Though it does not match the description given by others (it is a sphere to me, not geometric), I relate it to the Merkaba. It is a travel sphere, and more.
My soul traveler is a miniaturized version of my human body, dressed in a hooded robe. I would not say it is the entirety of my soul, but a fractal or hologram of it, and a piece of me that takes 'me' with it on its travels. I envision the journeys to evolve, with the second journey being to the roots, and to record in a human voice, with music background. The first versions were developed around imagery of the cosmic Tree of Life, and were called 'Whole Tree Journey'.

Beyond Biocentrism: Facing Reality
A oneness experience by co-author Bob Berman
Page 110
"Now I was studying for a physiology test when something in the textbook about the visual part of the brain suddenly gave me a split-second insight that the distinction between 'external' and 'internal' is unreal. Then that intellectual insight abruptly changed into something else.
Page 111
"An enormous weight I'd never realized I had borne was suddenly lifted. An experience began that no words could convey. It was ineffable and life-altering. The best I can say is that 'I' was suddenly gone, replaced by the certainty of being the entire cosmos. There was absolute peace. I knew with total confidence, not logically--because, as I said, Bob was no longer present--that birth and death do not exist. That all is perfect eternally, that time is unreal, and that all is one. The joy was beyond anything I could have imagined. The to-the-marrow certainty could perhaps be better described as a recognition, an ancient familiarity of being Home.
"When the intense initial experience faded, the room returned, and my textbooks lay before me. Except, all was now profoundly altered. Let's call this 'the second level of the experience.' There was still no sense of a separate 'me,' an observer looking out upon the world. Rather, everything was a oneness, and I was whatever my eyes gazed upon. It was as if my consciousness had previously been long confined, like a canary in a little cage, and that a false sense of being a separate, isolated, thinking individual had now vanished. Objects were no longer separate items existing in space; instead, everything was the same continuum.
"When a person came into view, I was this person. The universe was one entity for all time. There were not billions of humans and animals. There was one living, deathless entity. (And no, in case you're wondering, this experience was not chemically induced.) If this sounds fabulous, well, no words could begin to convey the clarity.
"The experience lasted three weeks, during which time no thought flitted across my consciousness. But eventually the ongoing stream of mental chatter, of being an individual, an observer, returned--accompanied by a loss of the peace and oneness. It felt terrible...."
