Welcome.
This is a guided meditation for the goddess Lakshmi.
Lakshmi is the Hindu goddess of abundance.
Let's begin by taking a comfortable seat and close your eyes.
Take a deep inhale and exhale fully.
On your next inhale,
Imagine that you are filling your lungs with a golden light.
And as you exhale,
This golden light begins to circulate around your body.
And we'll do this one more time.
Deep inhale,
Fill your lungs with a golden light.
And as you exhale,
You begin to watch this golden light spiral all the way down and around your body.
Imagine in front of you a golden door.
This door is surrounded by a garden full of flowers.
You can smell the sweetness in the air.
Begin to walk towards the door and place your hand on the handle.
Begin to open the door as you arrive inside of a tunnel.
Close the door behind you.
This tunnel is well lit by lotus flower lanterns.
As you begin to walk through the tunnel,
You notice a path.
As you get to the path,
A beautiful lotus pond sits in front of you.
At the edge of the pond sits a meditation cushion.
Begin to walk towards the cushion and take a seat.
Notice the beautiful shimmering water from the sun.
There are a thousand pink lotus flowers sitting in front of you.
As you place your gaze onto the pond,
A lotus flower begins to emerge from the water,
Opening up.
In this lotus flower sits the goddess Lakshmi.
She is here to support and nourish you.
She places her hands out in front of you and asks you to give thanks for the abundance that you currently have in your life.
To place these as offerings into the palm of her hand.
Notice the golden radiance that beams from her.
Notice the sense of simplicity,
Of beauty,
Purity and love.
Notice the sweet smell,
The gentle light.
Feel the beginnings of this golden radiance flow through your body.
Like a thread from the beginning to the end,
Circulating around your head,
Your eyes,
Your nose,
Your lips,
Down through your neck,
Your shoulders,
The front of your heart,
The back of your heart.
Down and around your torso,
Your hips,
In and through your legs,
And around your feet.
Bring your hands into lotus mudra,
Pinky fingers and thumbs touch,
Base of your palms touch,
Index finger,
Middle finger and ring finger open up just like a lotus would.
Lakshmi asks you,
What abundance do you need in your life?
Place that inside the lotus mudra.
You begin to experience the wealth.
The wealth and love that she provides for you.
Trusting her,
Knowing that she will take care of you.
Place your palms in prayer together,
Anjali mudra,
The mudra of honor.
Begin to bow towards Lakshmi,
Thanking her for all that she has given you and trusting her with all that you have asked her for.
As you begin to say your goodbyes,
Notice the sun is setting,
The lotus flowers are beginning to sink back into the water.
Begin to stand up from your cushion,
Walking on the path back towards the tunnel.
The tunnel is still lit by the lotus shaped lanterns.
Coming back to the door,
You place your hand on the handle.
Open the door.
Begin to shut the door behind you.
Place your feet deep into the soil.
Bring your hands to heart center.
Bow with honor and grace.
Many blessings bestowed upon you.
Namaste.
