Welcome to the Wild Alchemy guided meditation of Sol,
The sunshine smile.
Please do not drive or operate machinery whilst you listen.
Instead,
Make yourself comfortable with pillows and blankets,
Sitting or lying down.
You might even decide to go outside into the garden on a sunny day.
And lie on soft grass to enjoy this meditation.
My intention is to lift your spirits,
To encourage you,
To help you relax and to gently energise you.
And to make you smile.
Whatever time of the year,
I hope this meditation will make even a dark day seem lighter and brighter and gift you optimism in your daily life and for the future.
Of smiling,
Kenneth Meadow says,
The loving smile is half a circle activated by the soul to generate a response that will complete it and so create joy and harmony.
This soul sunshiny meditation enables you to send loving,
Healing energy to every part of your being.
It encourages you to pay attention to your physical body and reminds you to express gratitude for how it serves you day in day out.
When you gift a smile to others,
They often return the gift and smile back at you.
A simple smile can make someone's day.
And now I invite you to close your eyes if you have not already done so and begin to breathe gently hand on your heart if you wish.
In and out.
In and out.
In and out.
And now open your inner vision and let your journey into the wild unknown continue.
You are sitting in a darkened theater.
The stage before you is hidden by the soft folds of rich golden yellow curtains.
As you watch,
The curtains are quietly drawn back to reveal the immense hexagonal window.
Bright yellow sunlight slants through this portal,
Inviting you to begin a journey full of delight.
Step through.
The sun is dawning.
The world is turning ever from the dark back into the light.
It is time to become warmed through,
To awaken more fully,
To achieve clarity,
Release any fear,
Grow your confidence,
Follow your vision and to welcome your own new beginning.

And bringer of smiles.
Physically sunshine supplies us with vitamin D strengthening our immune system.
Metaphysically sunlight enlightens.
It can shine light into dusty corners of our lives,
Reminding us of treasures we may have forgotten.
On a dull day,
Even a brief ray of sunshine can be enough to lighten our mood.
Sometimes it can be a guiding light taking us outward from a dark place.
The sun illuminates,
Warms and energizes everything in nature of which we are part.
It is the activating power of life and basking in the warmth of sunlight is relaxing and comforting.
Sunshine warms the soil and stirs the plants in springtime,
Calling them up out of the earth.
Plants,
Flowers,
Trees and vegetables depend upon sunlight for healthy growth and it determines how well they grow,
Blossom and fruit.
And so now let yourself bathe.
In the delightful glow of gently warming sunshine.
Relax your mouth and allow it to form a smile.
Perhaps remember something that has brought you joy or bring to mind briefly a person you enjoy spending your time with,
Someone who makes you laugh.
Let warm healing sunshine energy begin to empower your smile.
Take a deep slow breath and experience the soft gentle warming flow of energy contained within your smile.
Breathe out and just enjoy relaxing into that loving energy.
Feel it begin to move within you.
Do this a few more times with the flow of your breath.
Imagine the delicious warmth of sunlight shining down upon the crown of your head and turn that warm sunny smile further inward into yourself and begin to send that smile to each part of your body in turn.
Firstly,
Direct that smile into your eyes.
Simply place that smile into your eyes and then imagine that smile shining outward to create harmony and love all around you.
And now send the smile to your mind,
Both to the left and to the right.
And to the right.
Encouraging it to find calm,
Stillness and rest.
Next take your attention to your face.
Let the warm glow of your smile smooth out any wrinkles.
Let your face soften,
Release and relax any tension.
Especially in your forehead,
Between and around your eyes and in your jaws.
Smile at your ears and nose.
Smile at your smiles.
Smile at the thyroid in your throats.
And move your awareness to your neck and shoulders and concentrate your smile upon them,
Encouraging them to relax.
Smile on your elbows.
Smile on your wrist.
And all the way down to your fingertips.
Then when you are ready,
Take your attention to your chest and lungs and shine your smile on them too.
Offering gratitude for every breath which revitalises you.
And now let your heart bask in your smile.
And let every heartbeat send love to every cell of your being.
When we turn our attention to ourselves in this way we affirm that we are worthy of being loved and our self-esteem is enhanced.
We can then decide to say no to anything which might burden us too much or not be for our well-being and happiness.
Next take your smile gently to the top of your spine and then allow the sunlight of your smile to travel slowly all the way down to your tailbone.
Warming and relaxing you all the way.
When you are ready move your awareness to your abdomen.
To your liver and to your kidneys.
To all your organs that support your life and let your smile shine upon them.
Then take your attention right into your navel.
The home of your own inner sunshine.
Smile into your navel and let it smile back at you.
Let your whole being become infused with golden light.
Feel it surround you like a warm embrace,
Letting you know that all is well with the world.
Sunlight is a primary balancing force for positivity and growth.
It revitalizes us and can encourage us to believe that the impossible can become quite possible.
Sunshine can help us to see life in an affirming and lighter way,
Bringing courage.
It gives us joy,
Raises our spirits and can bring delight.
And now take that smile right down to your hips.
Feel any tension in them soften and melt and release until you have a sense of openness and space.
Let your knees bathe in the warm support of your smile.
Extend it right on down to your ankles.
To your heels.
Into your feet.
And to every single one of your toes.
And then finally to the Earth herself saying a wonderful warm-hearted smiling thank you to her too.
And now rest here.
Remembering the loving smile is half a circle activated by the soul to generate a response that will complete it and so create joy and harmony.
And now,
Time to return.
Begin the journey back.
Step through the window to the earthly domain.
Take your place once again in the shadowy theatre.
The curtains softly fall.
Gentle lights glow.
Feel your feet on the ground.
Move your fingers and toes.
Stretch and yaw.
Become aware of the seat beneath you.
Breathe in and out.
In and out.
In and out.
Open your eyes and be here.
And now step fully into your day,
Into your dreams and claim what is yours.
Feel your vitality,
Honour your rhythm,
Transmute your fear.
Be a little braver.
Know your desire is attainable.
Dare to have it all.
Flower into the light of your being.
Bloom your way.
Count your blessings under the sun.
And retain the smile.
Now let the adventure into the wild unknown of your life continue.
