Hello,
This is Bita Sharif and thank you for joining me in this 15 minute visualization meditation where we take a journey using our creative imagination and dive deep into the psyche to plant seeds of success.
Find the most comfortable position.
Let your hands rest gently on your thighs.
And when you are ready,
Close your eyes.
Gentle breathing in and out of your nose,
Letting our breath guide us inwards into this present moment.
Let's take a deep breath in through our nose,
Holding it at the top for a moment.
Open your mouth.
Let out a sigh.
And again,
Long,
Slow inhale through your nose.
Pause.
Open your mouth,
Letting go fully.
Last time,
Biggest breath in.
Hold.
Open and release it all completely.
Return to gentle,
Effortless breath in and out of your nose.
Imagine yourself standing on the top of a grand staircase.
See the colors and the design.
It's so beautiful.
The kind you would love to have in your own home.
You will walk down the steps and with each step down,
We will be counting down from 10 to 1.
And as you descend,
Allow yourself to relax more.
First step down,
10.
Next,
9,
8,
7,
6,
5,
Feeling calm,
4,
3,
Feeling comfortable,
2 and 1.
You arrive.
Take a deep breath in and exhale.
In front of you,
You see a golden door.
It's inviting and alluring.
You feel interested to see what's inside as you walk towards it.
You turn the knob and open to see the most beautiful place,
A meadow,
A wide open field filled with tall grass and flowers.
As you step inside,
You feel the warmth of a perfect sunny day.
As you begin walking,
You notice that your feet are barefoot and you are stepping on soft grass.
Your feet feel the earth below and it is grounding and soothing.
You feel safe and at home here.
There is a path for you and you follow it.
As you stroll leisurely,
You notice that there are a variety of flowers surrounding you.
All your favorite flowers,
So many,
All different colors and shapes everywhere.
You take a deep inhale and immediately smell the aromatic fragrance of sweet flowers and nectar and allows you to relax even deeper.
And you take note that all of these flowers have enough space,
Light and resources to thrive.
The sound of birds singing grabs your attention and you walk towards them.
As you do,
You begin to hear the faint whisper of a stream up ahead.
As you approach the small river,
You listen to the sounds of the water current getting louder and you observe water flowing,
Making its way through rocks,
Its path through whatever obstacle it encounters.
You observe a leaf from a nearby tree flutter in the air and land on the stream.
And as you watch,
You notice how easy it is to move with the direction of the current.
Your gaze follows the leaf down the river,
Where you notice in the distance is a majestic tree on a small hill.
Something about that tree calls your attention,
So you walk to it.
As it gets closer,
You can see the color and shape of the leaves and the tree becomes even bigger with each step.
As you walk up the hill to the top,
You notice the bark and its texture.
Now atop of the hill,
You are under the canopy of the tree and the shade cools you and makes you feel protected.
As you walk up to the tree,
You feel a strong and pleasant energy radiating from it.
You reach out to touch the tree trunk and immediately feel a warm,
Soothing energy transfer into your body.
You become aware that this tree has stood throughout the years,
Throughout storms and challenges.
You receive the energy of its strength to stand tall and to be firmly rooted.
You can see a vision of a seed planted,
A shoot reaching through the darkness towards the light and finally sprouting out into its destiny.
You absorb all the power of its courage and faith.
You can see the cycles of life that it's continually experiencing,
From losing all its leaves in the winter to being reborn again every spring.
The tree offers you its power of acceptance and patience.
And you gather all that energy and let it fill your entire body.
Let's take a deep breath in through the nose and release.
You step away leaving the tree,
But knowing it is always there for you and you can return whenever you need.
As you turn away,
You notice on the ground is a dandelion that is turned into a giant,
Perfectly round puffball.
You pluck it from the earth and hold it in your hand to make a wish.
What is it you wish for?
What is it you desire?
In your mind's eye,
See yourself attaining it.
Feel what it would be like to have your wish granted.
Now imagine yourself blowing the dandelion and watching all the seeds being dispersed in the breeze,
Flying everywhere with ease.
And now ready to return to your golden door,
Heading back down the hill,
Past the flowing stream where the birds are singing and playing overhead,
Through the fields of flowers with their intoxicating fragrances,
And back to your door.
Once back inside,
You find yourself at the bottom of the staircase.
And as we take steps,
We count up from one to ten.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six,
Seven,
Eight,
Nine,
Ten.
As we prepare to return,
Let your breath deepen.
Feel yourself in your body.
Become aware of your space.
Gently move your body.
And when you are ready,
Open your eyes.
Thank you so much for joining me.
I hope you had a magical experience.
