Transcript

Hi my name is Kelsey Lyons and I am a teacher here on Insight Timer and today I'm going to take you through a Reiki meditation that works to connect you with your higher self so you can receive deep healing from this guide.

And we'll start by just finding a comfortable position either sitting or lying down and starting to soften or close the eyes here.

And allow the body to soften and relax.

Starting to notice all the places where your body connects with the earth beneath you.

The way the air and the room feels on your skin.

And how the sound of my voice,

The sounds of the music feel in your ears.

Tuning into all your sensations here with a lens of curiosity and exploration.

And beginning to shift and refocus all awareness just into the sensation of sound here.

Noticing sounds you hear furthest away first.

Just noticing,

Expanding your awareness as wide as you can.

And then starting to shift that awareness a little bit closer to sounds happening just inside this room.

Letting go of all sounds happening outside this space.

And then bringing the awareness even closer now to sounds happening directly next to you.

To the sound of your breath.

To maybe even the sound of your beating heart.

Allowing each beat,

Each breath,

To bring you an inch deeper into your own being.

Into your own heart space.

And to this sacred space of love and compassion that holds and anchors us in our journey today.

Imagine now the room that you're lying in.

And as you're picturing this physical space around you,

Begin to notice the way the light reflects through the windows.

Maybe the shine of the stone or wood floor beneath you.

Or the flickering of candles around you.

Now in your mind's eye,

Imagine that you have begun to gently stand and explore this space.

And as you're exploring,

You notice something that you haven't before.

That just in front of your mat is the most beautiful set of golden opalescent doors.

Candlelight sparkles as it reflects off their surface.

And you can't help but notice that this door feels familiar in some way.

Almost as if you've been here before.

It has a warm and inviting presence.

And as you move closer towards it,

You realize that these doors open into an elevator.

And just to your left is the button to open these doors,

Emanating a soft orange glow.

And so you reach out to press this button,

And the doors slowly open into the most beautiful elevator you have ever seen.

Bathed in a soft,

Warm light,

This elevator has an inviting and welcoming presence to it.

And you step into the elevator,

Following this inner knowing,

This inner pull.

But it's bringing you to exactly where you need to be.

The floor beneath you is warm as you step inside.

And you feel this comforting heat begin to flow from the tips of your toes,

All the way up to the top of your head,

Bringing with it a deep sense of ease and calm as well.

You notice there is only one button in the elevator.

And its golden glow pulls your attention,

And you reach out softly to press it.

Watching as the doors close and the elevator slowly drifts down in space.

It starts from the 10th floor and slowly floats down to the 9th.

And with each floor it drifts down,

Your body begins to feel a bit lighter.

7.

Body is beginning to feel very light now,

Almost as if you are floating.

This floating sensation increases,

And you feel a deeper sense of ease fill your being as we drift down to the 3rd floor.

This sensation is no longer familiar,

But still brings with it a sense of deep relaxation.

A sense of rightness.

The elevator doors open,

And in front of you is the most beautiful landscape you have ever seen.

You are surrounded by nature on all sides,

As a great expanse of meadow and forest stretch wide in front of you.

And the air here is warm but comfortable.

And as you step out of the elevator,

You notice the gentle touch of a breeze against your skin.

You watch as sunlight flickers through branches as you look around,

Finding a small pathway that meanders through this field full of wildflowers,

Abundant with life.

Little creatures slit and scurry about in the warmth and healing of this place.

Further off into the distance,

You watch as the path leads into a small forest,

To a great hill beyond.

And you can't help but feel you were meant to follow this path today.

So you begin to move forward.

And breathing deeply,

You can smell the fragrance of the flowers tickling the inside of your nose.

You hear bees and other creatures busy at work,

And you feel your body overflow with joy for all the magnificence that is right in front of you.

With each step you move forward,

This sense of peace and presence increases.

You notice the softness of the path beneath your feet,

A mixture of soil,

Fallen leaves,

Pine needles,

And moss.

As you walk,

Your body relaxes and your mind clears,

More and more with each step you take.

And you watch as the path eventually begins to widen,

Opening into the expanse of the forest in front of you,

Lazily winding up the dense hillside until it pauses in front of an ancient willow at its very top.

You feel the pull to sit with this sacred willow tree,

So you allow the forest to continue to guide you.

Gazing up,

You watch as sunlight filters through the trees,

Making a moving dappled pattern on the ground before you.

And take a moment to just listen to the sounds of the forest as you walk,

To hear the birds singing,

A gentle breeze blowing,

The sound of the leaves on the trees as they shift and sway in the soft wind.

And with each step forward you continue to take,

Your body becomes more and more relaxed.

You notice how your muscles begin to release and lengthen.

As your arms swing in rhythm with your walking,

They soften and ease.

Your whole back relaxes as your spine lengthens and all the muscles relax.

Feel all this tension shifting and moving as you admire the scenery around you.

The path slightly shifts,

Moving into a gentle incline as the forest thins around you and the ground further softens under your feet,

As you make this slow climb up the grassy hill.

And you can feel the dew still young on the grass,

And you smile here,

Feeling at one with nature,

Held in its loving embrace.

You move slowly up this hill,

And as you get closer to the top,

You realize that there is someone waiting for you here.

And although their back is to you,

There is a warm familiarity in the way that they sit,

Gazing out at the landscape in front of them.

Your heart feels warm,

And you are filled with a deep sense of well-being,

Peace and calm,

As you realize you are in the presence of a higher spirit,

Of a guide.

As you reach the very top,

The figure in front of you turns around and smiles,

And as they turn,

You realize this being looks quite similar to you.

In fact,

It is you.

This is your highest,

Wisest self.

Perhaps this self takes on an older version.

Maybe they look exactly like you,

Or not at all.

But however they present themselves,

You know in the center of your heart,

This is your highest self.

And this is your time to spend with this highest,

Wisest self,

However feels most right in this moment.

You might simply share a hug,

Sit together under the ancient willow,

Or explore this space side by side.

Know that you can ask your higher self any questions that are weighing on your mind,

Or more simply,

Just rest in their loving presence here,

And take this time to be with your higher self,

However you choose.

You realize that you have been in this space for a while now,

And your higher self tells you that soon it will be time to rest,

To drop deeply into the healing embrace of Reiki,

And they ask if you would like them to stay with you here.

To simply rest together,

To continue chatting,

Or even if you would like to receive this healing energy from their own hands.

Whatever you decide,

Know that your higher self will honor your choice,

And remain with you in the way that feels most supportive for you.

And as you make your choice,

Your higher self invites you to find a soft place to rest,

And so you ease down slowly onto the soft patch of moss beneath the ancient willow,

Letting its cool and gentle embrace hold you here.

If you choose to receive Reiki from your higher self,

You feel their presence shift slightly,

As they begin to hover their hands just above your head.

A warm,

Glowing light surrounds you,

Wrapping you in this healing energy,

And with each moment,

This light invites you into deeper rest and relaxation,

Reminding you that there is nothing more you need to do,

And nowhere you need to go,

But simply be here,

Exactly as you are.

You gaze up at the canopy of leaves above,

And noticing the gentle dance of light between branches.

Feeling your eyes begin to grow heavy and relaxed,

You allow them to close.

And as you lie here,

Feel yourself sinking into this sacred space,

Where time slows down,

And the earth supports you fully.

Begin to bring your awareness back to the soft moss beneath you,

And using your awareness,

See if you can feel the gentle feeling of earth beneath your body,

The cool breeze as it brushes against your skin.

And in your mind's eye,

Open your eyes to the willow tree above you.

You notice that the sky is beginning to change colors,

From a clear blue to soft peaches and buttercup yellows.

And you hear crickets begin to chirp around you,

And you know that soon it will be time for you to return.

And your higher self offers a gentle hand,

Helping you to rise slowly from the earth,

Reminding you that this is a place you can come to whenever you need and whenever you want.

For this place we have come to lives in the center of each of our hearts.

Take a moment to thank your higher self,

To share any final words or reflections.

Maybe giving one last hug.

May begin to guide you to the edge of the willow tree,

Hidden amongst branches,

You find another elevator door waiting for you.

Your higher self opens the doors and sends you off with a welcome embrace.

The doors begin to close,

And this time the elevator drifts up in space from the first floor to the second.

Each floor you drift up beginning to feel a bit more grounded.

Five,

Six,

Beginning to feel solid earth beneath your feet again.

Seven,

More grounded still,

Fully feeling fingers and toes.

Nine,

Ten,

Fully back in your physical body now,

The doors begin to slide open.

And in front of you,

You see the very place where we began this journey in.

And so you lie softly down on your yoga mat or your bed.

And begin to bring awareness back into this physical space.

Adding in gentle movements.

Breathing a little deeper.

And maybe giving yourself one final hug to draw all this energy a little deeper.

Knowing that it will continue to stay with you long after this practice.

I wish you a restorative and relaxing week ahead.

May this energy be deeply healing in each of your own lives.

Thank you so much for your practice today.
