Transcript

Making yourself comfortable,

Lying out or sitting upright,

Allow yourself to gently connect with your breath,

Eyes softened or closed,

Connecting with that rhythm of your inhale and your exhale.

With each breath you allow your mind to settle a little more.

Relaxing your shoulders,

Relaxing your face muscles and extending your exhale a little further each time,

Allowing all your muscles to soften.

Bring your awareness to any sensations in the body.

Connect to the points of the body,

To where you are seated or lying.

The parts of your body that are connecting with the earth.

Allow your breath to go to those areas.

Allow your body to settle,

To land.

Breathing down all the way to your feet,

Feeling grounded,

Feeling safe.

Allowing your thoughts to come and go with no judgement.

Bringing your awareness just back to your breath.

Placing your hands anywhere that feels comfortable.

Just become more aware of how the body moves with the breath.

No forcing,

No straining.

Just connect into that gentle wave like rhythm.

Now as we breathe a little deeper into our bodies,

We are going to extend the energy of our exhale all the way down through your feet and into the earth.

And inhaling back up from the earth,

All the way up to your crown.

And then exhaling back down again.

Continue the motion of breathing in from your feet,

From the earth all the way up to your crown.

And exhaling back down.

Pulling that magnetic energy up through your body.

And letting it filter all the way back down.

And just come back to your natural breath.

And when you're ready,

Visualize yourself walking down a corridor.

You approach a door.

As you open and step through this door,

You step into a lush,

Beautiful garden.

This garden is filled with vibrant colors.

You can see the sun shining through the tall,

Majestic trees.

And you can hear a flowing stream nearby.

Have a good look around the garden.

Notice all your favorite plants and animals.

Now take a stroll in this space.

Feel your feet connecting with the earth beneath you.

Feel the softness,

The warmth.

Take a few breaths in this beautiful garden.

Now gently walk towards one of your favorite flowers.

Soak in its glowing beauty.

If it has a scent,

Take a deep breath and allow it to connect to every cell of your being.

Breathing in its color,

Smell,

And energy.

This flower has its own unique beauty,

Just like you.

You may explore this lush,

Green garden.

What do you see?

What do you hear?

What comes to your attention?

Take a few moments to be present in this garden and take in every detail.

Its peace and beauty.

The weaving tapestry of life.

So natural.

So powerful.

And yet so humbling.

With each breath,

You're opening your heart space a little further as you feel so much gratitude for being here.

Now find a comfortable place to sit and bathe in this magical garden.

Connect with the earth beneath you.

Its support strengthening your foundations.

With every breath that you take in this space,

You breathe in all the scents and colors and you allow them to connect to each of your chakras.

Feel this energizing and peaceful sensation wash over you.

As you begin to connect with the beauty not just around you,

But also in your life.

Take your next breath into your heart space.

Breathing in and out of the heart.

Expanding the energy of your heart further and further with each breath.

Feeling more gratitude and love.

And with each exhale,

You send out gratitude for all that you have and all that is coming your way.

Visualize your energy field expanding from the heart space until you see yourself glowing.

It fills every cell of your being and surrounds your whole body.

With each breath of gratitude,

You are giving every cell an energy blessing.

Stay in this space of peace,

Love and gratitude for a little longer.

Knowing that your life is filled with this beauty.

And as you move forward in your journey of life,

You've let go of any fear and you're filled with love and gratitude for each day.

You know that you have the power to create the life that you want.

Holding this vibration of gratitude and love and sending it forward.

Knowing you're always supported on this journey.

Just coming back into your body as you slowly stand in your garden.

Taking a final look around.

Taking in this visual beauty.

Feet firmly planted on the ground beneath you.

Connecting you to Earth.

Take a full breath there.

And now begin to turn and walk back to the door.

With each step,

You're feeling more solid.

More strength.

Taking this peace and love and beauty with you.

And when you approach that door,

Give thanks for this beautiful garden that is always there for you.

It's within you.

And slowly open your door,

Step through and make your way back into the present moment.

Back to where you are right now.

Know that when you open your eyes,

Everything in your life will be brighter.

You notice the beauty all around and within you.

You feel stronger and more confident.

Taking each step on your path.

And know that no matter what comes your way,

You can reconnect with your garden of gratitude at any time.

A beautiful, multi-sensory meditation, connecting to the wonders of nature and thr beauty both within it and around us. The door to the garden is a powerful image and the background music and warm voice are ideal for this practice of garden gratitude.
