Welcome to this meditation where feet may fail,

Trusting spirit,

Closing your eyes if you haven't already,

Take a deep breath in and release it slowly,

Keep breathing gentle deep breaths,

Feel the rise and fall of your belly and your chest like waves meeting the shore,

This is your sacred time to surrender to the vast unseen ocean of life that holds you,

As you keep with your slow deep breaths,

Bring your awareness to your feet,

Imagine them resting upon soft sand beneath gentle water,

Each breath draws you deeper into trust,

The kind that doesn't need solid ground to feel safe,

Let the water rise around you,

Cool,

Calm,

Supporting every part of you,

Breathe into the knowing that you are being held,

Now visualize yourself stepping forward into deeper waters,

At first your feet touch the earth,

Then as you go deeper and the tide rises,

The ground disappears,

Notice that you are floating now,

Suspended by grace,

Feel the current beneath you,

It moves with wisdom,

It knows exactly where to take you,

Let go of control,

Let go of needing to know,

The ocean carries you towards your destiny,

Faith beyond sight,

Now place a hand over your heart and whisper inwardly,

Even when I cannot see,

I trust,

Feel that trust ripple through your body,

Through your bones,

Your breath,

Your soul,

The vast ocean is not something to fear,

It is the divine moving through you,

Each wave is a whisper of guidance,

Each pause is a reminder of peace,

Whisper these affirmations,

I am guided by unseen currents of love,

I trust the ocean of life to carry me,

My faith is stronger than my fear,

I am safe in surrender,

I am one with the flow of spirit,

As you slowly return to the shore of your awareness,

Keep a sense of trust alive within you,

Spirit within you,

Always guiding you through the waves of life,

Vast,

Powerful,

Eternal,

Place one or both hands on your heart,

Speak these words,

I will always rise to meet any of the waves of life,

I trust the waves,

Now carry this deep trust within you as you return,

The same ocean that held you in stillness,

Now moves through and within your heart,

Guiding each step,

Whispering faith beyond sight,

You are supported,

Loved and forever carried by the flow of spirit,

Blessings on your journey,

Namaste.
