Welcome to your spring meditation.
My name is Anja of Sorter Spirit and I will guide you today.
So for now just take a deep breath in and out and wherever you are right now really get comfortable.
You can sit or lay down and just feel the earth underneath you supporting you and really take a moment to settle in.
And if it feels right for you allow your eyes to gently close.
And now I would like you to imagine yourself as a tiny flower bud nestled deeply and securely within the earth.
You're completely held by the soil feeling comfortable and supported and in this space you are in a state of restful anticipation.
You're not really active as of now but you're already kind of vibrating with life.
And as you're resting in the earth you slowly start to notice the temperature around you.
You can feel the energy of the soil and there's a gentle shift.
You start to recognize a specific warmth.
And this warmth is your signal that your time has come and that you're ready to grow.
You slowly start to feel a surge of power and with this power you slowly begin to crack open.
And with incredible energy you start to make your way upward.
The earth is gentle and it lets you part ways and lets you slide through the earth.
Just take another deep breath in and out.
And you slowly navigate your way past pebbles and through layers of soft dark earth.
And then suddenly the pressure lifts and everything changes.
It is no longer dark or heavy.
You have broken through into the open air and you feel the first touch of sunlight directly on your skin.
That is such an amazing warm sensation.
And you notice that you aren't alone.
Around you there are other little plants popping all around out of the earth that are joining you in the light,
The spring air and the slight sunshine.
And you slowly begin to grow.
And as you continue to grow,
Decide what you are becoming.
Maybe you are becoming a beautiful flower,
A resilient bush,
Maybe a steady young tree.
Whatever you choose for yourself right now,
Lean into the feeling of being this living creature.
And as you mature into your full expression,
You develop a unique sense of harmony within everything around you.
The wind,
As it moves you,
You allow yourself to sway,
Trusting in your own flexibility.
The sun,
You soak up its energy and light without fear,
Just feeling how it nourishes you.
And the rain,
You drink deeply from the earth,
Feeling refreshed and grounded.
And you are your most beautiful self right there.
And from your most beautiful plant self,
You notice that from your most beautiful plant that you are,
Suddenly you see yourself passing by on a little path.
And you see yourself looking at yourself as a plant.
So you watch your human self stop,
Smile and recognize your beauty.
You see your human self kneel down or reach out to offer a gentle touch or a hug.
And there's just a sense of gratitude and acknowledgement between your two selves.
You just feel the energy of the plant self.
And your human self is just enjoying the beauty.
And the plant self is so happy because its most beautiful self is being acknowledged.
Maybe your human self is dancing around the plant.
And just notice how your human self looks at your plant self without judging.
And how your plant self is just happy to be growing,
Happy to be in the sunlight.
Maybe that is something you can take with you for the rest of your day.
It might make you feel lighter.
Acknowledge your own beauty that you can see.
Maybe when you look at yourself as a plant and acknowledge its way,
That might have not always been easy.
And just look at it,
How it shines.
And just take another deep breath.
And slowly become aware of your surroundings.
And really take your time.
Feel the connection to the earth underneath you.
And whenever you feel ready,
You can start wiggling your fingers and toes and then slowly open your eyes.
Thank you very much for listening today.
Don't forget,
There's only one now.
