You To begin this meditation settle down in a comfortable place Take a long deep cleansing breath and exhale slowly Take another long deep breath and this time as you exhale Allow your entire body to relax From the top of your head all the way down to the very end of your toes Breathing in breathing out Relaxing as you breathe in Relaxing as you breathe out Noticing the natural rhythm of your breath the rise and fall of your chest The feeling of relaxation now spreading throughout your body And at this time I would like you to visualize see in your mind's eye imagine if you will A beautiful garden or colorful flowers plants and trees grow in every corner Take a moment to look around you and discover the beauty of this place See feel and experience its soothing energy Its delicate fragrances which gently calm your spirit In front of you at the very center of the garden there is a pool a pool of clear fresh water Decorated with a fountain of a child looking up to the sky And in the background The many sounds of nature a symphony of joy and harmony Carried by the gentle breeze This garden is indeed a place of healing a place of healing safety and security And already already you can feel much more relaxed more deeply relaxed And rested in every way The deeper you go the better you feel and the better you feel the deeper you go More and more and more relaxed And more and more relaxed Now visualize yourself walking around exploring the land And as you do look for a spot where you feel most deeply relaxed Most centered and connected Allow yourself allow yourself to feel and connect with a healing nature of this inner realm Its beauty Its heart And when you have settle down on the soft grass beneath you and relax All the way down All the way down Every breath you take in this beautiful garden strengthen your sense of peace and well-being Every breath is healing your body nourishing your soul Breathing in Breathing out you are now so relaxed All the way down from the top of your head to the very end of your toes At this time As you look around you you notice a beautiful old tree growing right behind your spot The tree with its white stem is standing tall above the ground And at its base Resting Three bags Each one is decorated with golden words And each one is tied with golden rope at the top You gently rise and make your way toward the tree And now from up close you can easily read the different words embroidered on each of the bags The first one says stress The second worries And the third says fears In this garden of healing You no longer have the use or need of the word Not anymore It is time to let them go Release their hold on you And free yourself from their burden One last time You gladly reach out for the first bag The one that have the word stress embroidered on it with golden threads The one that have the word stress embroidered on it with golden threads Holding onto the rope in your hand You pull on it swiftly And look inside To your surprise all that you see is a pile of dirt and nothing more A pile of dirt and nothing more At the bottom of the bag You reach your arm and fill your hand with the dirt Taking it out of the bag and dumping it on the ground Just beneath you And at that instant right before your eyes as if by magic a flower A flower of great beauty is now growing from beneath the dirt In this belief You pick the heavy bag of dirt Emptying its content on the ground around you And again right before your eyes Flowers of majestic beauty are now growing from beneath the piles of dirt And as they grow a great sense of relief is growing inside your body Leaving you feeling so good Light Happy and relaxed Enjoy these sensations Allow them to be present At this time you approach the second bag The bag of worries Which hold all of your darkest and unhappy thoughts Therefore you carefully place your hand on the golden rope And again swiftly pull it away So that the bag is now open And when you look inside you find a stack of rocks Rocks of different size Shapes Colors and textures Again you reach your arm to pick one of them up And as you do your stomach tightens in a knot Quickly,
Quickly and with great strength You throw the rock as high as you can But instead of falling down The rock turns into a beautiful white dot Which now fly around,
Around you in circles You pick up another rock and throw it too As high as you can And just like the previous one It too turns into a beautiful white dove Soaring high into the sky Taking with her all of your worries and all of your doubts From there on each rock you throw does exactly the same thing Exactly the same thing And soon enough the bag is empty and you are feeling so good Safe,
Calm and relaxed You are now free in your mind You are now free in your heart And still one last bag is laying right beneath you It is a bag of all of your fears Finally waiting to be opened Waiting to be released Unsure of what to do You open the bag as wide as you can Exposing the darkness to the light Taking few steps back And just then,
Just then you see it You see the light flowing from the bag Forming a beautiful ever growing rainbow of colors Slowly rising toward the sky Reaching wide throughout the garden Painting everything with its beautiful shimmering light And now every cell,
Muscle and bone in your body Is being charged Rejuvenated by this healing,
Loving energy of colors And you are calm Peaceful Peaceful and serene Enjoying all these wonderful sensations that come along with warmth and relaxation Enjoying them throughout your body As you breathe in As you breathe out Breathing in And breathing out High in the sky The sun begins its slow journey toward the horizon Painting it with endless shades of orange,
Red and purple And while it is time to make your way back This is certainly not a goodbye Your garden,
Your inner garden Is only one thought away All you have to do is to close your eyes Breathe deeply and relax And your garden will appear before you just as it did Right now You are now free of stress You are now free of worries and fears You are now free to live in joy Free to recognize and accept happiness in all that it brings Now,
Gently bring your awareness back to your breathing Back to your breath Back to your breath Take a long deep breath and exhale slowly Good And again,
Take a long deep breath And this time as you exhale,
Exhale fully and completely Bringing back sensations to your body Gently moving your toes Gently moving your fingers Feeling good in every way And when you are ready In your own time You may open your eyes And relax
