The Power Of the Universe Is Within You
by Barb Aasen
This guided meditation takes you on a journey into the forest where you connect with the power of the universe through a beautiful ancient tree. As you make this connection, you will feel empowered and very accepting of all that the universe has for you. You will be given the opportunity to manifest your desires, dreams and any personal changes you may want to make.

Let's begin by relaxing each part of your body,
Starting with your toes.
Wiggle them a little,
Then let them go.
Stretch out your legs and hold them tense for a moment,
Then let them drop,
Moving up your body,
Tensing and relaxing each part.
Your thighs,
Squeezing them together,
Then letting them go.
Your upper body,
Tightening it for a moment,
Then releasing it.
Your arms,
Tensing them and letting them go.
Your hands and fingers,
Making your hands into a fist,
And then just letting them go.
Now scrunch up your face,
Tensing all the muscles in your face and forehead and jaw,
Holding them tight for a moment,
Then letting them go.
Enjoy the feeling of release as you relax every part of your body.
And you might notice how your breathing is relaxing in its own way.
Maybe it's deepening or slowing down a little.
Just allow it to be however it wants to be.
You don't need to change it.
Just noticing how the breath just flows at its own pace and speed without you doing anything.
And now you might also notice how your mind is relaxing from its thinking.
Our minds seem to be so busy always thinking.
It feels quite nice to just let go of all that thinking for a few minutes.
You can always go back to it after this relaxation is finished.
But for now,
Just let it go.
Nothing to worry about,
Nothing to focus on,
No problems to solve,
No plans to organize.
And as you let go of the mind and all of its thinking,
It's interesting,
Isn't it,
How the emotions settle down and become calmer,
More tranquil.
And as you let go and allow yourself to drift into a deeper place of relaxation and serenity,
Remind yourself that this is a journey you want to go on,
A journey to a powerful place deep within you,
A place that holds all the answers to your current situation,
A place that holds the keys to your dreams and your purpose.
So,
Just rest back,
Feeling very safe and secure.
And allow yourself now to visualize your favorite color,
Whatever color comes to your mind first.
Just imagine that color and imagine it swirling around your body,
Touching all parts of your body.
Then let that color penetrate inside your body,
Into your cells,
Your organs,
All of your muscles and tendons,
Swirling around all of these parts of your body.
And then imagine it settling into your heart.
Now visualize a happy color,
A color that you feel really happy when you see it.
Allow that color to swirl around your body and then penetrate inside your body,
Into your cells,
Your organs,
And through your muscles and tendons.
Let that color of happiness fill your entire body and then see it settling into your heart.
And now I would like you to visualize a peaceful color,
Any color you like,
As long as it makes you feel peaceful.
Allow that color to swirl around your body,
Penetrating inside your body,
Swirling around your cells,
Through all of your muscles and tendons,
And ending up in your heart again.
Finally,
Visualize a color that reflects love for you,
Any color you like,
As long as it makes you feel love.
Now allow that color to swirl around your body,
Touching every part of your body.
Then watch as it penetrates inside your body,
Into your cells,
Your muscles and tendons,
Ending up in your heart.
Let that color fill your entire body.
Now just take several deep breaths and imagine breathing in all of these beautiful colors in through the top of your head,
Just like a shower of colorful light pouring in through the top of your head as you breathe it in.
And notice how it flows down the center of your body,
Into your heart,
Breathing deeply now in and out,
Slowly and deeply,
Filling your heart with a rainbow of colors.
Perhaps one color stands out.
That's fine.
You can just allow that color to flow in through the top of your head and down,
Down into your heart,
Feeling expanded with love and soft energy,
Noticing how very comfortable your body is beginning to feel now,
Very relaxed and at ease,
Floating and drifting,
Letting go more and more,
Preparing yourself to journey inwards,
Opening up to possibilities,
Feeling alert to hear whatever your heart has to offer.
So now,
In this very relaxed state,
I want you to take yourself across time and space and imagine yourself lying on a soft green meadow of grass.
The sun is brightly shining overhead.
It is soothing and warm.
A gentle breeze blows across your body.
There are wild flowers growing in the meadow.
Smell the aroma of the flowers as they gently sway in the breeze.
You have all the time in the world,
Nowhere to be,
Nothing to do,
Simply resting,
Relaxing and experiencing an opening in your heart and soul as you now choose to go on a special journey.
As you stand up in this meadow,
You experience a sense of peace and tranquility associated with this beautiful place.
You look around and notice a very intriguing forest just at the end of the meadow.
You walk toward the forest and you see a pathway that leads into the forest.
It looks so inviting.
You approach it.
As you enter the path,
You are surrounded by trees of different sizes.
Notice how cool the air suddenly feels.
You follow the pathway.
It feels spongy beneath your feet.
Smell the bushes and vines around you.
A small bird rustles in the underbrush.
There is a stream flowing beside the path.
The water is clear and the bottom of the stream is white sand.
You decide to take off your shoes and step into the clear,
Cool water.
Notice how refreshing it feels against your feet and ankles.
As you walk through the water,
You come to a spot where the sun is shining through the trees above.
You stand directly underneath its warm and soothing beam.
You close your eyes and receive the energy from the sun.
You feel it penetrating your entire body.
The water beneath you has an energy of its own.
You feel it penetrating up through your feet and ankles and up through your body.
You feel drenched in life-giving energy.
Your entire body feels warm and tingly.
You feel totally alive.
A powerful peace settles over you.
You are now more in touch with all of nature around you.
The smells and the sounds are more vivid.
The trees appear so much more beautiful.
Deeper greens and browns and reds.
You feel a deep connection with the earth.
Huge trees rise majestically around you,
Competing with the sunlight above.
The air is filled with the aroma of the forest.
Tree ferns and palm trees are shaded beneath the giant forest trees.
You stop and listen to the chirping of small rainforest birds.
And off in the distance,
You can hear the sounds of other forest birds.
You take a deep breath and feel the clean,
Fresh air enter your lungs.
You notice a particular tree standing in the distance.
Its trunk is rugged and mottled with grays and browns.
This tree seems to be calling to you,
Beckoning you to come closer.
You walk toward the tree and as you approach it,
You feel a sense of knowing,
As if you are remembering this tree from some time long ago.
You stretch out your arms and wrap them gently around the massive trunk.
You are beautiful,
You tell the tree.
So are you,
You hear it answer.
You turn around and lean into the huge trunk.
The whole back of your body now in contact with this ancient resident of the forest.
You take another deep,
Refreshing breath and lean even more comfortably into the tree,
Allowing your head to gently rest against the rugged bark.
As you take another deep breath,
You begin to feel the tree's own breath penetrating through your back,
Right through to your heart center.
Each breath you take allows the breath of the tree to move deeper into your heart.
It feels as though this tree is sending you love.
It is the purest form of love.
Your heart feels warm and expanded as it fills more and more with loving energy from this beautiful tree.
You hear a voice,
I love you,
Accept my gift of love.
You close your eyes and imagine you are held in the arms of a most loving being.
You feel as though your body is melting into the trunk of this beautiful tree.
Perhaps you do not even feel your body anymore.
It is totally one with the tree.
Your heartbeat is in perfect rhythm with the tree's heartbeat.
Your breath is the same as the breath coming from the tree.
As you float and drift in this beautiful state of oneness and completeness,
You become aware of the power you now possess.
It is a power that enables you to accomplish anything you desire in your life.
You think about the very thing that has been most on your mind lately,
That thing you need help with,
Or perhaps a goal or dream you want to realize.
Maybe it is a change you want to bring about in your life.
It might be something simple like a desire for more peace or happiness.
Or it might be something really big like a desire to start your own business.
Whatever it is,
You allow it to come to your memory now.
Feel the desire you have for this rise up from your very depths.
Feel it pulsating within you as you connect with the power of the universe.
Feel as though what you desire is coming to you and is being absorbed by your body right now.
Feel yourself reach out and pull whatever you want towards you.
Just pull it into your body right now.
It is yours.
And if you feel any resistance to these things,
Just relax and wait a moment.
And then just let them come to you.
Let them sink into your body,
Into your soul,
Easily,
Without effort.
You are accepting now.
Accepting of all good things in your life.
Powerful,
Helpful people begin to show up in your life.
Finances flow into your life to bring whatever it is you most desire.
Ways and means appear in your life easily and effortlessly,
Bringing to you what you want.
You know that it is done.
As you believe in your heart,
So it is.
You have wanted this for a long time.
Now is the time for it to manifest in your life.
You watch in your mind as all hindrances and barricades just fall away.
They fall away.
They disappear.
They hold no power anymore.
Anything that once was blocking your success is now melting away into nothingness.
Your imagination now creates what you really want.
You see yourself accomplishing your goal.
You see your problems resolved.
You see yourself filled with peace and happiness.
You see your dreams becoming real.
Allow all good to come to you now,
Easily,
Effortlessly and smoothly.
Bask for a moment in the satisfaction of fulfilling what it is you really need or want right now.
It is now time to return to the meadow from where you started this journey.
Take one last look at that beautiful tree that supplied you with so much knowledge and love and power and whisper a last thank you.
And know that you can return here any time you wish simply by closing your eyes and following the path into the forest until you reach your special tree.
Any time you need help with a problem that you're experiencing or perhaps a goal or dream you want to manifest,
Simply go to the forest in your imagination and lean into your special tree and allow the answer or direction to come to you.
So begin walking back now through the forest,
Past the stream.
Keep walking past the bushes and the vines and all the mighty forest trees.
Keep walking.
You have a deeper understanding of the trees now for you have awakened to their truth that all the power of the universe is within them as it is within you.
You are now back at the entrance to the meadow.
You walk out of the forest and into the grassy clearing.
Take a moment to lie down again in the tall grass and smell the flowers once again and reflect on your journey to your special tree in the forest.
So now that you have connected with that powerful place deep within you and perhaps you have received some healing or a message or maybe just a sense or a knowing that all is well,
Whatever it is,
Spend some time right now and over the next day or two to reflect on what has come to you so that it can be birthed into your life,
Allowing it some space and time to come alive.
And you may desire to listen to this visualization a few times in order to allow more clarity and direction and understanding to manifest.
Often we need to receive messages several times before they can be really absorbed into our psyche.
So make a commitment to yourself now to follow up on what you have begun here by going within,
Opening a door to that beautiful,
Powerful part of you.
I will leave you now so you can continue to bask in this meadow and reflect and when you are ready you can let the image of that place fade from your mind and you can come slowly back to a waking state.
And when you do you will feel wonderful,
Like you have just had a nice long nap.
You will feel full of energy and enthusiasm and your mind will be calm and at peace.
But for now enjoy a few more minutes of this deep relaxation,
Absorbing and processing all that you received during this time on this journey inward.
Thank you.
