Let's lie down for this meditation.
Settle yourself in,
Make yourself comfortable,
Feeling the support underneath you,
Eyes are softly closed,
Take a deep breath in,
And exhale.
Allow the belly to rise when you're breathing in,
And allow the belly to fall towards the spine when you're breathing out.
Let your whole body surrender to the earth below.
Your breath is steady,
Your body at ease,
Your mind open.
Here,
In this space,
The five elements move within you,
Balancing,
Healing,
Restoring.
Now begin by bringing awareness to your breath,
The metal element lives in your lungs,
Guiding the rhythm of receiving and releasing,
The inhale drawing in fresh energy,
And the exhale letting go of all that is no longer needed.
Inhale deeply,
Feel the breath expand your chest,
Filling you with fresh,
Clean air,
And exhale fully.
Release tension,
Grief,
Sadness,
Or anything weighing you down,
Like the wind sweeping through the sky,
Your breath clears space within you,
Making room for the new.
Affirmation for your lungs,
I breathe in clarity,
I release the past,
I welcome renewal.
Now,
Soften your awareness to your lower belly,
Lower back,
And kidneys,
The home of the water element.
This is your well of energy,
Adaptability,
And deep inner wisdom.
Inhale,
Imagine your breath flowing like a wave,
Filling your body effortlessly,
And exhale,
Let go of tension,
Allowing yourself to surrender,
To trust the flow of life.
Like the ocean,
You are both deep and calm,
Powerful and at peace.
Affirmation,
I trust my emotions,
I flow with life,
I surrender with ease.
Now,
Shift your awareness to your ribcage,
Your liver,
The space around your diaphragm.
Wood is the energy of the strength and transformation,
Like a tree growing toward the sky.
Inhale,
Feel your breath expanding your ribcage,
Creating space for new possibilities.
And exhaling,
Releasing any frustration,
Stagnation,
Or anything that feels constricted.
You are deeply rooted,
And infinitely growing,
Strong,
Yet flexible,
Unshaken by the winds of change.
Affirmation,
I am strong and adaptable,
I embrace change with grace and ease.
Now,
Bring awareness to your heart center,
Warm,
Open,
Pulsing with life.
Fire is the element of love,
Passion,
And joy.
It is the warmth of the sun,
The laughter that rises naturally,
The deep human connection we all crave.
When you inhale,
Feel the warmth radiating from your heart,
Spreading through your whole body.
And when you exhale,
Let go of that heaviness,
Softening into joy,
Allowing lightness to fill you.
An affirmation for the heart,
My heart is open,
I receive love,
I give love,
I radiate warmth and connection.
Finally,
Feel the weight of your body sinking into the sand,
The solid ground,
Or anywhere you are lying,
Just feeling that earth beneath you.
Earth is nourishment,
Stability,
And deep belonging.
When you are inhaling,
Feel the earth holding you,
Grounding you,
Filling you with strength.
And when you exhale,
Release any worry,
Any sense of instability,
Allowing yourself to rest fully,
Your home,
You are supported.
An affirmation,
I am safe,
I trust in life,
I am deeply supported by the earth.
Feel the harmony of all five elements moving within you,
The metal clearing you,
Water flowing through you,
Wood expanding you,
Fire igniting you,
And the earth holding you.
For the next few moments,
Simply be,
Resting in silence,
Held by nature,
Supported by life.
Now,
Take a deeper breath,
Wiggle your fingers on your toes,
And when you are ready,
Slowly roll to your side and come back to your seated position,
Carrying this balance within you.
You are whole,
You are aligned,
You are exactly where you need to be.
