This meditation is entitled Healing Spring.
Hi again,
It's Amanda and I'm going to take you on a little journey connecting with yourself but also imagining yourself in some beautiful surroundings.
So just get yourself comfortable where you choose to sit,
Lie down.
Make yourself comfortable so that you can enjoy this time for yourself.
Just let your breathing relax.
And slow,
Not too forced,
Just calm,
Natural for yourself.
Just imagine yourself on a deserted island in the middle of a very peaceful sea.
Island is small with a white sandy beach and beautiful palm trees.
You notice a path through these trees.
So you walk deeper and deeper through the path.
So you'd reach a small cleaning.
The clearing is surrounded by beautiful dense trees where attention is drawn to the middle of the clearing where there's a natural spring.
There's something about the water that looks soothing.
Everything around you is thriving.
And as you approach the spring.
Just envision yourself stretching out,
Putting your toe in the water to feel the temperature.
As you connect with the water,
A wave of calm spreads throughout your body.
The water is the perfect temperature.
Not too cool or too warm.
So you can go ahead and put both feet in the water and just feel another wave of calm flow through you as the water soothes your feet.
We've been drawn to this water and its healing energy.
You decide to step in further.
With each inch that you go.
Deeper and deeper into the spring.
A wave of contentment relaxes you and eases your strains.
Deeper and deeper you sink into the beautiful,
Peaceful water.
And the water is now up to your waist and it is so soothing.
You haven't felt relief like this in a long time and you cherish every second of it.
You're completely at ease in the water.
You decide to sink deeper and deeper into the pool.
So that all the way to your neck.
Is under the water.
And only your head remains out.
The water is healing,
Relaxing every inch of your body.
Bringing you the comfort that you have been so desperately needing.
You quickly dunk your head under the water so that every part of you has now been touched by the healing water.
This water has powerful minerals in it.
These minerals soothe your skin and reach deep into your muscles and your bones.
You have a numbing and easing effect on your nerves so that you have a break from your pain.
Feeling relaxed,
You just lay there floating,
Enjoying the calmness around you.
And the calmness within your body.
As you're floating,
You look up at the beautiful,
Clear,
Bright blue sky,
At the brightly coloured birds sitting singing in the trees above you.
You then take a look around you at all the different flowers surrounding the spring.
They are the brightest and biggest blooms you have ever seen and lush green ferns are also sprouting from the ground.
They all seem to be getting nourishment from the spring and you're getting that nourishment too.
You continue to enjoy yourself in the soothing,
Mineral-rich water.
You're feeling relaxed,
Soothed,
Calm.
And comfortable.
Soon it will be time to leave.
For all the nourishment.
And the respite that the spring has brought you will go with you.
Slowly,
You go from floating to standing.
And gradually.
Inch by inch you walk to the edge of the spring.
Before stepping out onto the sand.
Slowly,
You begin to walk back down the path.
Only this time,
The path will bring you back into the present moment.
With each step,
You become more aware of the sounds around you.
Sensations that shade against your back.
Work against where you're lying.
Become aware of the sounds around you and slowly,
In your own time,
Open your eyes.
