Welcome to this beautiful rainy morning,
The perfect kind of morning to settle in,
To be warm and cozy and to close down our eyes and enjoy a beautiful meditation together.
So I invite you to make yourself comfortable and tune in to these beautiful sounds,
The sound of the rain,
Making contact with the earth,
As you feel your body,
Relaxing down into the cushion or the bolster,
Making contact with the earth and allow yourself to take some nice deep breaths,
Breathing all the way in,
Feeling the energy of the morning and releasing all the way out,
Feeling the freshness of the in-breath,
The relaxation of the out-breath,
Taking the time to connect with our body,
Connect with our mind,
Connect with our whole being,
Feeling the body,
Settling down onto the earth,
Feeling the contact with the cushion or bolster beneath you,
Bringing your awareness to your feet,
Feeling the connection of the feet with the earth,
You might even imagine your feet drawing energy up from the earth,
Like a sense of vitality,
A source of inspiration,
A beautiful energy drawing up for your feet,
And into your legs,
Your lower legs,
Your knees,
Your thighs,
Your buttocks,
Feel the contact with the earth,
Feel the contact of your tailbone,
And bring to mind a beautiful red colour,
Like the red of the deep earth,
Now feel the energy move up into your pelvis,
The pelvis,
The centre of creativity and fertility,
The centre of new beginnings,
And imagine a beautiful orange colour,
Like the tips of flames,
The fire in your belly,
Feel the energy rise up into your solar plexus,
Like the sun rising in the morning,
Bringing a beautiful,
Warm,
Golden glow,
Feel the warmth,
Feel the rising of the energy,
Rising all the way up to your heart,
Feel the heart area,
And imagine a beautiful green colour,
Like the green of new shoots,
New shoots brought forth by the sun and the rain,
Little shoots which grow into big trees,
Feel the energy rise up to the front,
And visualize a beautiful blue colour,
A beautiful deep blue,
Like the blue of the ocean,
As it reflects a beautiful blue sky,
As it brings the energy up into your eyes,
And you visualize a beautiful sky blue,
The type of blue you see when you gaze out at an orange sky,
Horizon,
Now,
With your next breath,
Feel the energy rise right up to the crown of the head,
And visualize a beautiful white light,
Like the energy is rising up,
Pouring out of the crown of your head,
And moving back down through your body,
Just like the rain outside,
Washing any tightness or tension away,
Any fogginess,
Bringing a sense of rejuvenation,
Cleansing the body,
Cleansing the mind,
Now bring your gaze inwards,
Look closely at your mind,
The body has completely dissolved,
And you look deeply into the clarity of mind,
The vastness,
The emptiness,
The spaciousness,
It makes way for a fullness of creativity,
Of opportunity,
Of grace,
Now let go of the meditator,
And allow yourself to simply dwell,
To dwell in the present moment,
Of the heart space of love,
The rain and wind and sun and storms,
Just simply move through you,
No future,
No past,
The simplicity of the present,
This beautiful presence,
This beautiful nowness,
That's always with you,
Connect with it,
Revisit it,
Throughout your day,
And move forward in a state of grace,
