Hello my friend,
Welcome to the soul growth sessions.
A place for magical meditation to nurture your soul and awaken your potential.
My name is Astral Shaman,
Your host and humble guide.
In this meditation we will visit a place of natural wonder,
Experiencing deep soul restoration in the heart of the forest.
Let's begin by closing our eyes,
Allowing our bodies to relax in a comfortable position.
And spring your attention first of all to the breath.
Just notice your in-breath and your out-breath.
No need to breathe any particular way or try to control it at this time.
Just notice and allow your breathing to flow naturally.
As you watch your breath,
You notice it gradually and easily starts to slow down into longer,
More relaxed.
And as you continue to breathe in and out.
Just imagine that you are in the middle of a deep woodland.
Surrounded by trees,
Far away from any other people.
Somewhere safe,
Deep in the woods.
You may be sitting under a tree,
Looking out at the forest.
Or perhaps in a sunlit clearing,
Surrounded by wild flowers.
Wherever you are,
Is exactly where you need to be.
How does the air feel on your skin?
Do you smell the scent of pine,
The comforting smell of the earth?
Or the delicate sweet scent of the trees and wild flowers?
Do you feel the warm sunlight shining through the trees,
Or is there pale moonlight?
Wherever you are,
Is exactly where you need to be.
So as you become aware of your surroundings and your safe place deep within the forest,
Notice what sounds you hear.
Can you hear birdsong?
Can you hear the wind moving through the branches of the trees?
They gently sway,
It's almost as if the trees are talking.
Trees are welcoming you,
Telling you you're safe.
Telling you're among family here.
As you become more aware of your safe space and your surroundings in the deep forest,
You allow yourself to listen more to any messages from the trees,
Open to receive any wisdom that the forest has for you.
Being open to any gifts,
Any messages that the forest has ready for you at this time.
They may come in the form of a sensation.
You may even hear words.
A message could even be a beautiful scent in the air,
Or simply a feeling of contentment.
Many of the woodland creatures may appear watching you from afar,
Becoming familiar with your energy.
Perhaps coming to greet you,
Curious and at ease in your gentle presence deep in the woods.
No need to seek anything out,
Just being comfortable where you are.
Knowing that any message that's meant for you will come,
Exactly in the way you're ready to receive it.
As you spend more time here,
Deep in the woods,
You notice that you're slowly and easily feeling replenished.
As you breathe in deeply,
This wonderful air that the trees are gifting to you.
Allow yourself to feel thankful and grateful for this wonderful gift that the forest has offered so freely,
So willingly.
Such a pure and benevolent offering.
As you breathe in the air they have gifted to you,
You offer your outbreath in return,
As a gift to the forest.
You feel this wonderful connection of love between you and the woodland.
With each inhale,
Breathing in the deep knowing that you are home,
That you are safe,
That you are loved.
You feel any tiredness being soothed,
Any weakness being cared for.
Feeling comforted.
You feel stronger yet softer,
Just by being here,
Deep in the woods.
Spend as much time here as you like,
Here in this safe space,
Breathing in deeply.
Take all the time you need just to be.
Feeling surrounded by the trees,
Recognizing them as ancient benevolent beings.
Here in the forest,
Everything is in harmony.
Everything here has a place.
Everything here is at peace.
Everything at home.
Listening with your heart to the sounds of the forest.
Knowing you are safe.
Knowing you are cared for.
Everything held by the woodland.
You feel the wisdom of the woods,
You trust in the woodlands healing power.
All the while,
Breathing deeply.
Breathing in the magic of the forest and the safety of being deep in the woods.
Take as much time here as you need,
Enjoying the fullness of this moment until you feel complete,
Knowing you can have this experience as often as you like.
So until next time,
Take care my friend.
