Welcome to this guided visualization meditation aimed to help shed and release negativity by offering hope,
Courage,
And new possibilities.
Before we begin,
Please find a quiet space where you will not be disturbed.
Take a moment to get comfortable,
Whether it is sitting or lying down,
Adjusting your body to ensure that your back and neck are straight and aligned,
Helping the energy flow through you easily.
Gently close your eyes if you have not already.
We are going to begin with a deep breath in through the nose and slowly out through the mouth,
Feeling your body and your shoulders relax.
Taking a deep breath in and hold it for a moment and let it out through your mouth,
Feeling your body further softening.
Taking a deep breath in,
Feeling your stomach rise as you inhale,
And out through the mouth,
Allowing the earth to take all the weight you are carrying.
Now gently bring your breath back to a regular speed and invite a gentle openness to this moment of readiness for renewal.
As we begin this meditation,
You may say silently to yourself,
I am ready for renewal.
I am open to this moment.
Start by imagining yourself standing in a beautiful garden.
Bathed in soft morning light.
The air is fresh and filled with the scent of blooming flowers and the earth warmed by the sun.
As you walk slowly along the winding garden path,
Notice the vibrant colors and delicate petals around you.
Feel the solid,
Steady and reassuring earth beneath your feet.
This garden is a safe place,
A sanctuary where you can release what no longer serves you.
You pause by a graceful tree.
Its branches reach wide like open arms.
It is here that you begin to gently gather all your past sorrows,
Pain,
Sadness and hardship.
Visualize these heavy motions as leaves picked up from the ground.
You place each one into a small woven basket.
You carry this basket with a pile of leaves to a flowing stream at the end of the garden.
You can see the water pure and clear.
It has cleansing properties.
You stand by it as the glistening water flows downstream.
One by one,
Release your burden into the stream.
As each leaf get carried away by the water and feeling your sorrow dissolving,
Your pain fading,
Your burdens becoming lighter and your body becoming lighter.
Feel your heart grow lighter as the stream takes your past far downstream and out of sight.
In this moment,
Silently reaffirm to yourself,
I release what no longer serves me.
I am free to begin anew.
As you venture onwards,
You see a beautiful arch bridge made of strong stones stretching over a gentle river.
You slowly make your way across the bridge.
You can feel its strength beneath your feet.
With each step forward,
You sense yourself moving away from the past,
Leaving behind any sadness on the path.
As you go on,
You notice a soft light begin to glow ahead of you like a promise of something new and magnificent.
On the other side of the bridge,
The world opens wide into a majestic landscape.
You can see a vast valley filled with lush fields,
Blooming wildflowers and distant mountains glowing in golden sunlight.
You rest here and breathe in the freshness of this new beginning.
Feel the warmth of the sun filling you with hope,
Courage,
And possibility.
Know that this place holds your future,
A future that is bright,
Open,
And full of potential.
Stand tall here.
Feel the energy of new beginning pulsing through you.
Silently reaffirm,
I embrace this new chapter.
I am ready,
I am open.
I step forward with courage and joy.
When you're ready,
Bring your awareness back to your breath and back to the present moment.
Feel the calm strength inside you.
Your heart lightened and renewed.
Gently moving your fingers and toes.
And when it feels right,
Open your eyes.
And know that you have shed the past and you have crossed into new possibilities,
Carrying with you the sense of fresh beginnings.
You are ready to begin again.
Thank you for joining this session today.
Your meditation is now complete.
