Hello and welcome to the Expansion and Connection Meditation.
This meditation is designed to expand your awareness and your connection to the Universe and all life within.
Starting with you and slowly moving your energy out further and further to connect all the way back to the source of all life within our Universe.
For this meditation set aside at least 40 minutes.
Have a glass of water by your side for when you have finished to help ground you.
Have a journal and a pen and paper ready if you wish.
To record any feelings or thoughts that you may want to look back on.
Most of all choose a very comfortable space,
You can sit or you can lay down.
It's most important for you to be comfortable,
So do whatever works best for you.
Make sure that your devices are turned off or muted so that you won't be interrupted.
And when you are ready close your eyes and take a nice deep breath in and out.
And release gently and slowly.
Allow your body to respond to the gentle in and out motion of the breath.
Allow yourself to begin to relax.
Allow your muscles to release all tension and stress.
On the in breath,
Breathing calmness and peace.
Breath,
Breathe out all tension and stress.
Allow the oxygen to wash through every fibre,
Every cell,
Every part of you.
Allow you to sweep away all energies that are not needed.
Begin to feel the muscles in the body responding,
As they slowly release and relax.
Feeling it in the feet and the legs,
All those muscles releasing and relaxing.
You feel that sensation moving up the spine.
You feel all those muscles around the belly and the chest and the shoulders,
All releasing and relaxing.
With every breath more of the muscles relax and let go of all tension and stress.
You feel the muscles in the neck and the throat,
Head and the face,
All releasing,
Relaxing,
Letting go of all tension and stress.
Feel the sensation of all of that relaxation across the whole body.
You feel yourself lightening.
You feel the gentle flow of the Earth's energy.
You feel the ebbs and waves and begin to gently and ever so slightly rock to that gentle energy.
You feel yourself moving up,
Floating into the energetic realms of the Earth.
Gently moving across the Earth to a place,
A place within nature where you feel the most connection to the Earth.
It could be anywhere in your past that you visited,
Or anywhere that you wish to visit in the future.
By oceans,
Lakes,
Streams or rivers,
In mountains,
On beaches,
In plains or even in an oasis in the desert.
Wherever you feel most drawn to,
You find yourself gently moving to that area.
And as you reconnect with the Earth landing in that area that you feel most drawn and connected to,
You feel your solar plexus beginning to open,
To take in the energy of everything around you.
It begins to gently expand around your body as you sit in this beautiful area,
Or lay down and watch the sky.
You can feel the energy of the solar plexus connecting to every cell within you,
Every energetic fibre of your being.
And then you feel it connecting to the Earth around you,
To all the life that is within the immediate area.
You feel all of that begin to share energy with you,
In a mutual exchange designed to help,
To help ignite a connection long forgotten.
To revive,
Revitalise,
Re-energise and reconnect.
And you expand out further,
You connect to the trees or the oceans,
To every form of life.
You can feel the vibration of every form of life you are connecting to.
And you can feel your solar plexus expanding as a bubble,
Growing stronger and stronger with every expansion,
Feeling that connection.
Seeing through the eyes of other life,
Feeling the things that the other life forms feel.
You feel that interconnectedness and know that you are one,
Even if you are many.
And you expand out again,
And you begin to expand this bubble further out until you become encompassed with the land,
The ocean,
The mountains,
The deserts,
The atmosphere.
And you feel yourself expanded around the planet,
Encompassing all life on Gaia,
From the vibration of the crystals to the clouds in the atmosphere.
Then you feel yourself expanding again,
Expanding out to the solar system.
First expanding around the moon and feeling the energy of that ancient companion to the earth.
And expanding the solar plexus again out to greet our closest planets of Venus and Mars.
And feeling the vibrations and the energies of these planets.
At the same time you can still feel the vibration of everything within Gaia.
Listening to her heartbeat.
A connection to everything that is not overwhelming,
It is invigorating.
You can feel all of this connection flowing through you.
And then you gently expand again.
And this time you expand until you have covered the entire solar system,
Encompassing everything within it,
Our star,
All of the planets,
All of the meteors,
The asteroid belt,
The Oort cloud.
You feel the energy of the sun,
How our star creates this beautiful,
Protective energy around the entire solar system.
How you are a part of that.
You feel that energy flowing and you understand now how it all connects and how it is all for the mutual benefit of everything within.
And you expand once again and this time we expand out and we encompass the galaxy.
And you feel the connections of all of those nebulae,
Those stars.
You feel how even our central sun is connected and harmonized.
That everything within is connected and beneficial to each other.
How all of these energies help to make you feel safe,
Connected and nurtured.
You feel a deep sense of knowing,
Of how the galaxy nurtures all within and how all of the energy within is important to everything within.
And now you expand your energy again.
And we expand it to move around the universe,
Moving,
Encompassing all.
And even though you are an individual in the physical world,
You now feel that sense of connection as a whole to everything within.
You feel now as we expand once more to connect to the source of all life within the universe.
And you allow yourself to immerse yourself deep within this feeling,
Within these energies,
To understand how this works,
To know without needing an explanation.
You pay attention to how this feels.
You pay attention to all the energies that are in and around,
Swirling,
Moving,
Re-energizing and reconnecting you with everything.
You feel the energies from the tiniest forms of life right up to the neural network of the universe.
And that connection offers safety,
Security and nurture.
Within that now,
You hold space as you allow all of these feelings,
These thoughts,
These experiences to become familiar,
Natural and normal.
With all this connection and all of these energies swirling in and around,
You feel them all as one rather than separate.
You can see all individual as well as the whole.
You're able to feel all individual components and you are able to feel the whole as well.
And with this new connection or new link,
You can feel your solar plexus begin to gently release back the neural network pathways of the galaxies of our universe and gently back to our galaxy and further back to our solar system,
Further back through the planets to Gaia,
To Earth.
You feel yourself now gently as the solar plexus pulls back from around the Earth to where you are now,
Settling into a normal functioning state.
But those feelings and that knowing of connection,
This stays with you so that wherever you are and whenever you need it,
You just have to think of this connection and you can draw support and energy from everything within and without and around and right back to the source of all life,
A strength that you can now carry forward,
That you can use to help you in everyday life,
For small projects and big,
Or just enjoy the feeling of that connection whenever you want.
Now in nature,
Surrounded by everything that is vibrating on such a high frequency with your solar plexus now settled into a normal state,
And you sit with these feelings and you enjoy this moment.
You take a nice deep breath in as you begin to move back into the energetic realms of the Earth and you begin your gentle journey back to the now moment.
As you rise above where you have been sitting or laying down,
You can still feel a deep connection to this space.
You are able to separate that from those other feelings of connections with everything else,
And again you are also able to see this as a whole,
A wholeness connection to everything both individually and as a collective.
You feel yourself begin to gently move with the gentle ebbs and waves of the energies of the Earth and carried back into the now moment,
Back gently to where your body resides and you begin to integrate back into your physical self,
Taking nice slow deep breaths,
Breathing in for the count of 5 and out for the count of 5.
You begin to draw your awareness back into your body and you feel your toes,
Your fingers,
You gently begin to wriggle your toes and your fingers and you gently begin to stretch your arms and your legs as you gently continue the count of 5 breath until you open your eyes,
Bringing your full awareness back into the now moment,
Just relaxing in the energies that you have experienced and the energy of you.
Have a drink of water,
Allow yourself to fully integrate and to ground.
If you wish now,
Use your journal to record anything that you wish to look back on.
Practice self-care for the rest of the day,
Take time for you,
Even if it is just as simple an act as sitting quietly with a cup of tea or a cup of coffee,
A book,
Or just sitting in reflection and contemplation of your experience.
Just allocate a few moments,
5 minutes,
10 minutes,
Just to allow all these energies to settle and for you to become familiar with your new state of being.
Thank you for taking this journey and thank you for allowing me to help you to reconnect with all the energies within the Universe and with yourself.
Have a wonderful,
Prosperous and positive day.
