A journey of reflection, visualisation, meditation, and body awareness. My voice will guide you through six specific environments with accompanying instrumental soundscape for deeper mediation. You will visit the ocean depths, a place of calm, peace, and nurturing seclusion. A deep-sea volcano, the heart of the Earth ever renewing. A coral reef of spontaneous life force and dynamic change. A forest of seasons, shifting through time. A circle of fire, ablaze with your self empowerment. These meditations will bring awareness of sensation, visual manifestation, and emotional honesty, while your subconscious will manifest spirit guides to move with you and support your journey.

Transcript

Arrive at a place in your heart and mind of peace,

Your eyes are closed and you accept the absence of light,

Forget the room and surroundings you are currently in,

Let your mind settle as you breathe in deeply and slowly exhale,

Your breath is comfortable and relaxing,

Focus on a feeling of safety and wholeness,

You feel as if in the womb a safe and nurtured environment,

Invoke this feeling of safety and nurture,

You are at the bottom depths of the ocean,

You cannot see the surface or any seafloor,

You are completely surrounded by water,

The water is revitalizing,

Still and calm,

You and this water are one,

Can you feel the water moving the hair on your body,

The feeling of water moving over your right hand,

Your right arm,

Right shoulder,

The feeling of water flowing over your left hand,

Left arm,

Left shoulder,

Imagine moving your body freely through the water and embracing the feeling of calm and joy,

You see a friendly happy animal come towards you,

What is this animal,

How does it move,

It is your friend and guide,

The animal turns to ask,

When are you at your most happy and fulfilled,

You float above the heart of the earth recreating itself,

A beating pulsing force of creation,

This feels like the birthplace of life,

A nurturing place,

A transformative place,

You look below and see underwater volcanic geysers,

Imagine bubbles floating around you,

Imagine many giant columns of bubbles rising upwards,

Lava oozes from within the earth and trickles across the seafloor,

What is its colour,

Charcoal and shadow,

Red and glowing,

How does the lava move,

Imagine the sensation of warmth,

This warmth is soothing,

Nurturing,

Feel this warmth on your right foot,

Right ankle,

Right leg,

Feel this warmth on your left foot,

Left ankle,

Left leg,

Invoke the power of the earth to break through and create a new world,

You hear the earth ask,

What change do you wish to create,

You are in a coral reef with thousands of tropical fish,

Sunlight shines and flickers through the crystal clear water,

Illuminating an underwater world,

All around you is coral,

Some resemble giant golden coloured deer antlers,

Or vibrant green massive leaves,

Or bright pink long grass swaying and pulsing in the water,

Thousands of fish move through the reef,

Small fish moving quickly,

Darting and weaving through the water and coral,

What do these fish look like,

What are their colours,

Their shapes,

Their patterns,

A sea snake appears,

Thin and slender with white and black stripes,

The snake begins to scrape its body against the hard branches of the coral,

An old layer of skin is slowly being scraped off to reveal a beautiful new form,

Shedding the old and embracing the new,

It swims around you in a friendly manner,

The snake turns to ask,

What thoughts,

Feelings or things do you need to let go of?

An underground expansive cave,

You are safe,

You feel protected,

You are calm,

You again feel connected to the earth,

What does this cave look like,

Does it have gemstones,

Tree roots,

Moss,

The rock walls are streaked and highlighted by vivid colours,

What are those colours,

Red,

Green,

Blue and every other colour you imagine,

They flicker and reflect throughout the cave,

You feel the call to expand and move upwards,

Towards a light you cannot see,

Towards a self you have not yet expressed,

The cave roof opens to a wide upward tunnel,

Imagine yourself climbing up through this tunnel,

Your hands and feet scale the walls,

Pulling you upwards towards the surface,

Like a new plant seedling growing upward through the soil,

Laying roots of stability,

Pushing forward into the unknown,

By your side,

An animal appears,

A bold and adventurous animal climbing with you,

What is this animal,

How does it move,

It is your friend and guide,

The animal guide turns to ask,

What are your boundaries and which ones do you need to grow beyond,

You are in a forest,

The time is morning and the sun begins to peak over the horizon,

The forest is lush and expansive,

This forest is rich with colours and smells,

Some areas are old and timeless,

Some areas are new and vibrant,

Imagine standing in this forest,

How tall are the trees,

What colours are the leaves,

What birds are flying around,

Now imagine the smell of the forest,

Damp soil,

Flowers,

Wood,

Has the forest changed with the seasons,

Imagine your forest moving through the four seasons,

You begin to walk through the forest,

Walking across the moss and leaves and soil,

The time is now midday and the sun reaches the middle of the sky,

A gentle breeze moves across you,

Imagine the sensation of the breeze on your face,

Your chest,

Your shoulders,

The time is now sunset and night begins,

Look to the sky and see the moon,

Imagine the moon changing in its phase,

First barely seen as a new moon,

Then to a half moon and then to a full moon,

You see a wise and knowledgeable animal come towards you,

What is this animal,

How does it move,

It is your friend and guide,

The animal guide turns to you to ask,

What changes have you experienced in your life and how can they give you insight?

You find an empty space in the forest,

A sacred place with a large circular area of dirt,

Think about those thoughts and feelings that you need to let go,

Take a moment to acknowledge those thoughts and feelings,

Place them in a pile,

Reach inside yourself and find your inner flame,

Take this flame and ignite the pile of wood before you,

A giant bonfire is now in front of you,

Sparks rising to the sky,

Imagine a feeling of warmth across your body,

Your chest,

Your legs,

Your arms,

A feeling of positive emotion and energy within you,

Throughout you,

The feeling of happiness,

Wholeness,

Empowerment.

From within the fire,

You see a powerful and confident animal,

What is this animal,

How does it move,

It is your friend and guide,

The animal turns to you to ask,

Who is your empowered and realized self?

Slowly bring your focus back to the material world,

The sounds of your surroundings,

Slowly bring your focus back to your body,

You are relaxed and calm,

Slowly begin to move your body and do whatever you feel you need.

Awaken yourself,

Take now the lessons,

Insights and calm you just experienced into your next journey,

The journey of your life,

When you are ready,

Open your eyes.
