When we want something,
When we dream of something,
We may believe we are alone in that desire.
This meditation is a creative visualization that will help you anchor in to your desire for you to plant roots,
For your wish,
For you to feel held as you reach towards it.
Settling into your space,
Finding what feels comfortable for your body,
Maybe a seat,
Maybe laying down,
Maybe standing.
Settling into your choice,
Letting your eyes close or soften at the floor,
Noticing any sounds in the room,
Noticing my voice and the music,
Noticing your own breath.
Filling your belly with air,
Going at your own pace as you fill your body with fresh air,
With new life,
New possibility,
And noticing how easy it can really be,
Bringing into your mind what it is you hope for,
And asking yourself what is the desire behind the desire,
Trusting what is shown to you.
Taking another deep breath into the belly,
Into the chest,
Imagining that breath reaching up to the top of your head as you hold in your mind this desire.
And then on the exhale,
We bring attention to the bottoms of our feet,
Just noticing the surface supporting them,
Imagining that roots like a tree,
Like a plant we are,
Letting our roots shoot down,
Down.
Can we use this next breath to send even more energy to these areas of resistance,
This area of doubt,
This area of sorrow.
And as we exhale,
We imagine all of that exiting our desire of having something to hope for,
To wish for,
To strive towards.
