Hello and welcome to this Spring Equinox meditation,
A time of perfect balance between light and dark,
Where the Earth awakens from winter slumber,
Inviting us to embrace renewal and growth.
Find a comfortable seated or lying position.
Let your hands rest gently on your lap or by your sides.
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in and slowly exhale.
Let go of any thoughts or worries.
Give yourself permission to simply be here in this moment.
Bring your awareness to your breath.
Notice its natural rhythm without changing anything just yet.
Feel the cool air as you inhale and the warmth as you exhale.
Now begin to deepen your breath.
Inhale deeply through your nose.
Feel your belly rise.
Exhale slowly through your mouth.
Feel your body soften.
With each inhale,
Breathe in fresh energy.
With each exhale,
Release any tension,
Any heaviness.
Repeat this a few more times.
Deep inhales and long exhales.
Imagine roots of a tree growing from the base of your spine,
Extending deep into the Earth.
These roots connect to the core of Mother Earth,
Anchoring and connecting you to the Earth's steady,
Nurturing energy.
Feel supported,
Held,
Grounded.
You are completely relaxed,
Safe,
And comfortable.
Now in your mind's eye,
Picture yourself in a vast,
Open meadow.
The Earth beneath you is soft and warm.
Above the sky stretches endlessly,
Painted in hues of soft gold and pale blue.
You take a deep breath and feel the crisp,
Fresh air of spring filling your lungs.
The scent of blossoms and new grass surrounds you.
All around you,
Nature is waking up.
Trees unfurl their bright green leaves.
Buds blossom into flowers,
Releasing their delicate fragrance.
Birds sing a gentle melody,
Celebrating the return of light.
You are a part of this renewal.
Feel the energy of the Earth rising,
Filling you with a sense of awakening,
Balance,
And possibility.
As you lay down in the lush green grass,
Visualize the warm,
Golden light of the sun above you.
This light is soft yet powerful,
Carrying the essence of renewal and growth.
As you lie in stillness,
Imagine this golden light gently flowing down,
Touching the crown of your head.
Feel it moving slowly through your body,
Down your face,
Shoulders,
Your chest and belly,
Your legs,
Until it reaches your feet,
Grounding you in warmth and energy.
This light brings with it balance and harmony.
It clears away any stagnant energy,
Making space for new beginnings.
Breathe deeply as you absorb this light.
Feel it awakening every part of you just as the Earth awakens in spring.
Spring is a time of new beginnings.
Just as the Earth is planting seeds for future growth,
So too can you plant the seeds of your dreams,
Goals,
And intentions.
Ask yourself,
What do I want to cultivate in my life?
What qualities,
Habits,
Or dreams are ready to emerge?
Imagine yourself holding a small seed in your hands.
This seed represents your intention.
Feel its energy,
Its potential.
Now gently plant this seed in the Earth before you.
Cover it with rich,
Fertile soil.
As you do,
Trust that it will grow,
Nurtured by your love,
Patience,
And the light of the sun.
Affirm silently or aloud,
I welcome growth and transformation.
I am aligned with the cycles of nature.
I trust in the unfolding of my journey.
I welcome growth and transformation.
I am aligned with the cycles of nature.
I trust in the unfolding of my journey.
I welcome growth and transformation.
I am aligned with the cycles of nature.
I trust in the unfolding of my journey.
The spring equinox is a moment of perfect balance.
Equal light and dark,
Day and night.
As you breathe,
Feel this balance within you.
Imagine yourself as a tree.
Roots deep in the Earth.
Branches reaching high into the sky.
Grounded,
Yet open.
Strong,
Yet flexible.
Take a moment to feel harmony in your body and mind.
Embrace the balance of stillness and movement,
Giving and receiving,
Past and future.
Allow yourself to rest in this state of equilibrium.
Slowly bring awareness back to your breath.
Notice the gentle rise and fall of your chest.
Begin to deepen your inhales and lengthen your exhales.
Gently wiggle your fingers and toes,
Bringing movement back to your body.
When you feel ready,
Open your eyes.
Returning to the present moment and affirming to yourself,
I am in harmony with the cycles of nature.
I embrace growth,
Balance,
And the light of new beginnings.
Carry the energy of balance,
Renewal,
And new beginnings with you as you go about your day,
And always.
Thank you so much for joining me.
Namaste.
