This is Trinity Gaia Consciousness guided meditations for the element of water.
I encourage you to take any opportunity you have to work with the element of water as an outlet for releasing some of the stress or the emotions that we all kind of deal with going through life.
And when you do this just kind of add a bit of gratitude to how great it is that you can let that little bit go in the moment that you're washing your hands after you make some food or you go to the bathroom or you do dishes or you take a shower or you do laundry.
Any little bit,
Just a moment thought could help improve your quality of life.
So I will have you begin with an inhale of five,
Count holding for two,
Exhaling for six.
I'll have you do this twice.
Now I will invite you to look at your relationship to water.
What is your favorite thing to do with water?
Do you like to water the garden?
Do you like to watch the rain?
What's your favorite thing?
Seeing a rainbow after a storm,
Bathing your puppy,
You know,
A hot cup of tea in the morning.
Whatever your relationship is,
That moment,
That favorite moment,
I'd like you to go there now.
Recognize all the emotions and nostalgia that you have,
The happiness and joy.
Know that this very feeling you can embody at different times with different ways of interacting with water.
So I invite you to think of your last day.
What was the thing you were the most grateful for in the last day?
And when you have that next moment that you have your favorite time with water,
We'll just say it's that cup of tea.
Say you're going to have one before bed.
Take a moment and think about that moment and just kind of smile to yourself inside or outside,
Both,
And say I'm really grateful to yourself that I had that time.
And then think about something that happened that you wish,
You know,
You would maybe handled a bit different or maybe internally it kind of caused an emotional reaction that you kind of found yourself a bit puzzled by,
Didn't quite know how to respond.
And just take a moment and think on that.
Be open to really any solution that could come or any subconscious feedback that could arise and and have no judgment about it.
It's neither good nor bad.
It is.
It just is.
So while you do these two,
I will invite you to breathe long and deep and slow.
No counts.
Just real gentle,
Making sure the exhale is longer than the inhale should help calm and the emotions.
At this point,
As you you kind of contemplate kind of where this time will go with your tea later in the evening,
I would like you to visualize yourself in like your ideal like hot tub,
Sauna,
Pool,
Maybe you're at the beach,
Somewhere where you're immersed in water,
Be it natural,
Like at the lake or manmade,
And you're just able to enjoy the comfort of the water depending on where you live.
It's really cold,
You might prefer the warmth.
It's really hot.
The coolness may sound really nice.
So imagine yourself walking up to the water,
Taking a deep breath and then slowly moving into the water and you let yourself float.
You feel the water supporting you and you're able to let your mind while you're in this state,
This moment of feeling suspended,
Almost sensory deprivation.
I invite you to look at your experiences emotionally,
Feelings,
Thoughts,
Happenings,
Major events just over the last year.
Not necessarily going in depth to all the ways in which it could have been either upsetting or really a very stressful but amazingly happy time.
There's good stress,
There's bad stress,
But it's still stress.
Kind of just get like an idea of the feel,
The flow chart of the emotional experience of the last year for you.
With that visual and knowing where you are right now and everything you've learned as a result of this experience,
What are you the most just in awe of and grateful for that you have learned,
That you have emotionally assimilated,
Overcome?
Or maybe you're still in the process of that and how it's challenging.
Yes,
Yes it's challenging but it's worth it because on the other side is freedom.
Freedom to move on to the next dip or rise in your emotional flow chart and there's just so much emotion that we can experience as human beings.
We have amazing capacity for compassion and love and heartbreak and pain.
Anger,
Anger is not always a bad thing.
It can be very healthy.
It's what you do with the anger that makes it unhealthy and most often that anger is directed at yourself.
So I invite you as you look at this past year knowing that we've all had moments to forgive yourself for being so mean and angry towards yourself.
To accept that you're not perfect.
That's beautiful.
Everyone is perfectly imperfect.
You know,
Just that way.
Nobody else is quite just like you.
So to accept yourself as being perfectly imperfect may not be everybody's perfectly imperfect but you are someone's imperfect person.
If you haven't met them yet,
They're out there.
They are somewhere feeling probably like you,
Wondering where you are.
But you have friends and you have family.
They love you the way you are.
So I invite you to extend that acceptance and love to yourself because that's where it begins.
Nobody will quite love you like you love you.
No other being has been there from the moment of your birth or best friend.
No matter where you are on your journey,
I invite you to reflect upon all the steps that you have taken over the last year.
The ups,
The downs,
Where you are right now and accept yourself as being perfectly imperfect.
We are emotional beings.
There's nothing wrong with that.
It's beautiful.
It's what we do with those emotions.
Be kind to yourselves.
It takes practice,
I know,
But it is worth it.
So I invite you to take the remainder of time here in the guided meditation and just reflect and speak to yourself internally.
Just allow the water that you're floating in just as you are.
Namaste.
