Hi friends,
Thank you so much for joining me.
Today we will be doing a guided meditation connecting with the energy of the sunset at the end of a long day.
So take a moment to find a comfortable place to sit or lie down,
Knowing that you may drift off during this meditation.
So just finding that soft spot.
And before you allow your eyes to close,
Just take a moment to really notice this space that you're resting in.
To notice all the colors and shapes and light in this space.
And eventually you'll allow your eyes to begin to soften and close.
Continuing to hold this image of the ceiling of this space in your mind's eye.
And the longer you hold this image here,
The more you begin to notice how the colors begin to shift and change.
The lighting gradually grows softer,
More soothing.
And as this lighting around you softens,
You find your own physical body softening and easing deeper into the earth as well.
A comforting warmth accompanies this sense of ease.
And this warmth,
This calming energy begins to expand across your entire body.
And until you are covered in this healing blanket of warmth and ease.
And just noticing how the color of this blanket matches the same of the shifting lighting above you as well.
The lighting continues to shift and change,
Growing more vibrant and golden now.
The ceiling shifts from its usual color,
Fading until it is replaced completely by this golden and healing light.
The golden of this light intensifies and shifts once more,
Replaced by soft hues of peach and plum,
Pale yellow and sunset orange.
And you find yourself transported beneath the most incredible sunset that you have ever witnessed.
And you allow yourself to fully immerse in this space.
And to really notice the nuance of all these many shifting colors.
And to admire the soft round shapes of clouds drifting by.
And as if the very earth senses your presence,
Your awareness,
And these colors deepen in intensity.
A deep sense of connection and unity fills your heart space.
As you feel truly connected to this magical space,
Held by the embrace of earth and sky here.
And eventually the vibrancy of colors begins to soften as the sun dips lower in the sky.
There is a softness to this shift in color that is mirrored in your own physical softening.
And as the sun continues to dip lower,
Ready to shift beneath the horizon,
You soften deeper into the earth's embrace as well.
And your awareness shifts more fully into your physical experience here.
Into the feeling of the softness of earth beneath you.
And you begin to notice the sound of gentle waves lapping at the shore.
And there is a soft sandy feeling beneath your fingertips.
And with a sense of curiosity,
You gently ease off the soft earth to take in more of your surroundings.
And soak up the last rays of this healing light.
And take a moment to explore this space now.
To notice the sand beneath your feet and the entire ocean spread wide in front of you.
And the gentle lulling sound of the waves creates a meditative-like rhythm.
It is a soothing sound drawing you deeper into presence with this place.
Running your fingertips through the sand now,
You marvel at its softness.
Its subtle coolness as it slips between fingers.
It has a deeply grounded and calming presence.
And you let your hands sink more deeply into the earth here.
Feeling how this element holds and anchors you.
Molding to your body.
Holding you in its gentle and grounding embrace.
Scuttling across the seashore.
The few sandpipers remain scattered amongst the shore.
And their wings illuminated by the ever-fading golden hues of the setting sun.
Little hermit crabs scutter away as they find shelter for the coming night.
And intuitively,
You know that soon you too will be ready for deep rest.
You sit watching the setting sun for just a few moments longer.
And as the very last rays of light dip beneath the horizon.
And you find a softness in the center of your being.
Feeling truly held by this land surrounding you.
You begin to rest softly upon the earth.
Feeling the last of the sun's golden heat shining upon your skin.
Feeling the healing presence of it.
Allowing its last moments of light to fill you with the energy of Reiki.
There is nothing more you need to do in this space.
But simply sink into the rest that the night calls for.
Allowing the healing of Reiki to continue to hold and support you here.
Letting the grounding presence of earth.
And the gentle rhythm of the waves.
Draw you deeper into presence.
Deeper into the earth's healing embrace.
And as gently as you can.
And the sound of the gentle waves lapping the shore.
Drawing you back into presence with this space.
Little pinpricks of light begin to emerge in your vision here.
The bright warmth of the sun has been replaced by the coolness of night.
And as your eyes slowly adjust.
You realize these pinpricks of light are actually a sky full of stars.
Breathing deeply,
You feel this starlight fill your own being.
It is a softer and more gentle energy than that of the sun.
But you feel deeply held nonetheless.
The stars are bright enough to easily illuminate the landscape around you.
And you find that a moonlit path begins to lead the way down the sandy beach.
Guiding you back home.
And so you take your time to very gently rise from the soft earth.
And to feel the grounding of the sand with each step you take forward.
And with each step forward,
The light of the moon grows brighter and brighter.
And then this light begins to condense.
Into a portal of light.
Into a doorway that will bring you back home.
And whenever you are ready to make your way back.
You can step through this doorway.
Taking this healing,
This calming energy with you.
And on the other side,
You find the very place we began this journey.
Waiting for you.
Exactly as we left it.
Take one more full breath in here.
As you exhale,
Really landing more fully back in your body.
Feeling the solid earth beneath you.
Refinding the colors and the lighting of your own space.
Knowing that even as we transition into the rest of our day.
This energy will continue to stay with you.
