Hello and thank you for joining me for this guided meditation today.
Take a comfortable seat or lie down,
Get cozy and let yourself completely relax.
Begin by bringing your awareness inwards and letting the outside world melt away.
Letting go of your day or your morning so far,
Letting go of any distractions in your mind or externally.
You have nothing to do and nowhere to be except here in this moment so let yourself fully enjoy.
Take a long deep breath in and a slow and soothing breath out.
Breathe in and as you exhale let your shoulders relax from your ears.
Inhale and exhale feel your face soften,
Your eyes,
Your jaw,
Your forehead.
Take a long and deep breath in and exhale feel your body sinking down to the ground more and more.
Picture a door.
In your mind's eye picture a door.
Notice the size,
The shape and the colors that surround the door.
Notice how the door makes you feel.
It feels inviting and almost familiar.
Notice the door handle.
What shape is it?
What colors is it?
You slowly reach for the door handle and wrap your fingers gently around it.
As the door opens you are welcomed into another world,
A place where time slows down,
A place that feels dreamy and almost enchanted.
You slowly step through the doorway and you realize that you're in a garden,
A secret garden just for you.
It feels so peaceful and safe,
Just right.
You look down at your feet and you notice a path.
You decide to follow that path.
It winds through tall grass and flowers.
You feel the petals brushing against your skin as you walk slowly along the path.
And as you walk you notice all the colors around you.
You don't just see but you feel the colors too.
You begin to notice the many shades of green,
The leaves shimmer from soft sage to deep emerald.
You take a long and deep breath in,
Breathing in the green light into your body and as you exhale you feel your whole body soften.
You breathe the green light into your heart space and the light wraps around you.
It feels so calming and grounding.
A gentle breeze stirs the air and you notice a burst of yellow,
Like a golden light.
It feels so warm and playful.
You take a long and deep breath in of this yellow golden light into your body and as you exhale you feel the glow flow all over your body.
You feel joyful with a spark of warmth.
Inhale the golden light into your belly and exhale you feel lighter and lighter.
You continue your wander down the path and you find a patch of soft blue flowers.
The scent is so sweet and calming.
It instantly soothes your mind and any thoughts float away.
You decide to pause and you take a seat beneath a tree.
You lean back and you let go.
The garden is holding you.
You listen to the sounds around you,
The birds singing,
The buzzing of the bees,
The rustle of the leaves.
Everything feels so still but quietly alive and you are completely at ease.
So you let yourself drift.
You soak in the beauty.
You bathe in the colours and you breathe in the calm.
You slowly rise from your seat beneath the tree and make your way back along the path,
Past the tall grass,
Past the flowers and you find your way back to your door.
You slowly reach your arm out and wrap your fingers around the door handle and as the door begins to open you feel yourself coming back to the presence,
Coming back to the room.
And as you come back to the presence bring the calm of the garden with you.
Wiggle the fingers and the toes as you start to awaken and in your own time slowly blinking your eyes open.
Thank you for joining me today.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
