Hi friends.
Thank you so much for joining me for today's practice.
We will be connecting with the energy of the water element.
So for this guided meditation I invite you to find a soft spot to rest,
Either sitting or lying down.
And we'll start with just a little bit of grounding.
A moment to find the breath.
Without changing it,
Just noticing that natural rhythm.
Paying particular attention to those exhales.
And then begin to imagine that you can breathe directly into your heart space.
Almost as if there is a nose on your sternum.
Allowing the energy contained within this breath to fully permeate this energetic center.
Starting to tap into that energy of love and compassion that resides in the center of each of us.
And you start to notice that with each of your exhales,
A golden light begins to emerge from your heart space.
This light contains that energy of love and compassion.
And it starts to expand further out with each exhale.
Until the entire body is covered in this blanket of healing light.
Where it will continue to stay and anchor us through the entire rest of our journey together.
Your breath might begin to deepen and slow at this point.
Your eyes soften and maybe come to a close.
Starting to find a softening through the body.
For a moment,
Taking your awareness to the golden light covering your toes here.
A childlike sense of curiosity,
Wonder and awe emerges.
As you notice this golden light breaks off into tiny little streams of light.
Flowing out the soles of your feet.
All the way down into the earth.
This is no ordinary light.
This light is actually a web of energetic roots that begin to descend down past rock and crystal.
Moving through dirt and mud.
Moving through all the many layers of earth.
Until it reaches the beating heart of the earth mother herself.
And this web of energetic roots begins to connect our own energy field with the energy of the earth.
And we're held not only by the love compassion of our own heart space,
By the energy of the entire earth field as well.
Anchored into the grounding of the earth.
And to the grounding of our own hearts.
We begin our journey.
You start to notice the sound of water now.
And you find yourself sitting by a slow moving stream.
That meanders lazily through a lush dense countryside.
And sitting by this stream.
And take a moment to just listen.
And to watch.
And to feel the connection with this deeply sacred space.
You find that eventually your gaze rests on this small river.
Watching the algae and the reeds beneath the water's surface.
And gently moving in rhythm with the current of the water.
Little fish swim by of all colors and shapes and sizes.
And as you're watching this nature space.
A deep sense of calm and peace.
Washes over you.
And you notice the feeling of the sun warming your back.
And the sound of birds gently chirping their sweet melodies.
And this feeling of peace.
As it sinks even deeper into our beings.
And you feel called to move closer towards the water now.
And as you move towards its edge.
You gently dip your toes and shins.
In the warm and gentle current of the water.
Notice the calming presence as it swirls around your ankles.
And dropping deeper into presence with this place.
This stream is no ordinary stream.
And you notice that the longer you sit with this water.
The calmer and more serene you begin to feel.
And the more connected with this earth space you become.
This stream.
This sacred water.
Carries with it the energy of Reiki itself.
As it flows through us.
It takes with it any worries or fears.
Supporting us and naturally releasing anything that is ready to move.
And filling us with this healing energy as well.
And you might begin to find a place on the riverbank.
Or maybe even resting in the shallow river itself.
To lie down in and rest.
And if you would like to continue to receive this healing energy.
Just opening your heart.
Trusting that it will flow into the places that it is most needed.
For the rest of our time together.
There is nothing more you need to do.
I will come wake you in a few moments.
But for now.
Allow the healing energy of the water to fill your entire being.
The sound of the water.
The warmth of the sun.
The breath of the very earth.
All holding you here.
In their loving embrace.
As slowly and as gently as you can.
Just begin to re-find the sound of my voice.
Re-find the sound of your own gentle breath.
Can you re-find the feel of the warm water swirling around your ankles.
And the energy of Reiki still present with you here.
Take a moment to thank these sacred waters.
To soak up the effects of this healing energy.
And as you notice the light around you has begun to fade.
Soon it will be time to return.
So you gently ease your feet from the water.
And start to re-find your breath.
Where that same golden light has again begun to glow.
And this time it starts to create a golden doorway of light.
And a portal begins to open in front of you.
And on the other side you see the space that you began this journey in waiting for you.
So when you're ready you can step back through this portal.
Start to re-find the feel of this physical space that you're resting in.
Inviting in some gentle movements,
Some deeper breaths.
Maybe placing your hands somewhere on your heart or your body.
You could use a little more of this energy today.
Thanking this energy.
Thanking yourself for this time you've given yourself today to simply just be.
