To begin this meditation.
Take a comfortable seat.
Or lie down.
You may close your eyes or leave them open.
Relaxing your gaze.
Breathe and relax as you settle in now.
Find yourself.
On the edge.
Of a soft meadow at dusk.
The landscape before you is peaceful,
Welcoming.
And just what your heart,
Body,
And soul need.
In this moment.
Take a deep breath as you inhale the fragrant and cool evening air.
And let it out with a sigh.
Notice what the earth feels like under your feet.
As you start to walk into the meadow,
Feel a few dew drops brushing against your skin.
Find a comfortable place for you to rest within this meadow.
For the duration of this guided meditation.
As you settle into wherever you're resting.
Notice the twinkling of the first visible stars in the sky.
Allow yourself to rest more deeply in this landscape.
And then turn your attention to the light of the stars and the blue-black dusk overhead.
The Earth is welcoming your body.
While the vault of the heavens is a sacred womb encircling your whole self.
Breathe and relax as the meditation on Leo continues.
Now proceeds.
We'll begin this meditation.
With some quick breaths through the mouth.
Inhaling through the mouth and exhaling through the mouth.
Do this in a count of four.
Inhale,
One,
Two,
Three,
Four.
And exhale,
One,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Repeat this breath four times.
Now inhale fully.
Expanding your lungs.
Pausing at the top of the inhale.
And then exhale fully,
Letting all of the air out of your lungs.
When your next breath comes in,
Just breathe normally and naturally through your nose and relax.
Bring your awareness into your heart center.
The energy center near your physical heart.
Continue to breathe.
As you visualize your heart center filling with light now.
Now see this light expanding beyond your heart center.
Into your physical body.
Emotions.
And mind.
This light grows so big.
It can move beyond your physical body.
And into the room around you and beyond.
Rest here for a few moments,
Feeling the expansion of your heart light.
Now return your awareness to your heart center and its light.
Notice the quality,
Color,
Or brightness of your own heart light.
Now envision this heart light streaming upwards in a line through your upper torso and head and out of your crown.
Breathe and relax as you feel your heart spine.
Head and crown.
Filled with energy.
Now return your awareness once again to your heart center.
I am now going to read a list of eight aspects of the divine source.
As I read,
Allow yourself to identify.
Which one of these aspects you would most like to cultivate?
In this moment.
Light.
Sound.
Peace.
Calmness.
Joy.
Love.
Wisdom.
Power.
Now keep your mind on this aspect.
And let it fill the space of your heart.
Notice what you see,
Feel,
Sense,
Know,
Hear,
Or taste.
As you hold this aspect in your heart,
It now expands outward from yourself into the world.
Continue to hold the intention of this aspect of the divine flowing effortlessly and continuously from yourself into the world.
Breathe and relax and know that this is happening.
You are one with this aspect of the divine.
Now gradually release this intention and return to yourself.
Notice your heart center one final time.
And then bring your awareness back into your full body.
Slowly,
In your own time,
Start to gently move your body.
When you're ready.
Blink your eyes open.
And return to your waking consciousness.
