Welcome to this healing meditative journey.
Today we travel to the Jade Flower Temple.
I invite you to sit back,
Relax,
Close your eyes and imagine.
Give yourself a deep nourishing breath and let go.
Imagine yourself walking down a forested path.
You are dressed beautifully and comfortably in the clothing of another time.
You feel peaceful and calm and very much like yourself.
You are following the path through the forest to a hidden temple.
It is a place you come to be alone with your own thoughts,
Feelings and dreams.
A beautiful sanctuary where your every worry dissipates on the wind.
The temple is carved from light green jade stone.
On one side it is surrounded by the plants and trees of the forest.
And on the other side,
It looks out onto a large body of water.
As you reach the temple,
You carefully remove your shoes and slowly begin to step up the smooth jade stairs.
The temple's entryway is overhung with colorful plants and flowers.
You hear the ocean waves in the distance.
It is a beautiful sight to behold.
You breathe in the fresh air.
A cool breeze surrounds you,
Neutralizing all tension,
Anger and stress.
You breathe a sigh of relief as these heavy emotions relax onto the wind.
You hear chimes in the distance and can smell the ocean water on the air.
Once inside the temple,
You sit down beside a large decorative pool.
And at the center of the pool is a beautifully carved jade lotus flower.
The jade lotus is not an inanimate object,
But a living being that can be sensed and felt.
The edges of its petals seem to shimmer with gold,
As if it is breathing.
If you are very quiet,
You feel as though you may be able to hear the lotus sing.
It sings of peace and beauty,
Of ever unfolding,
Of forgiveness,
Second chances,
And love.
You bring your hands together in prayer and settle in for a short time of rest and meditation.
As your focus deepens within,
You sense the jade lotus sending a message from its heart to yours.
In stillness and gratitude,
You become ready to end your time in meditation.
You breathe a breath of release into the temple and gently get up to leave.
You walk back out into the sunshine,
Carefully placing your shoes back on your feet.
Grateful for this time you have spent in the inner world of your imagination.
Refreshed and renewed,
Carrying the peace of the jade temple within you wherever you go,
You take a deep breath and open your eyes.
