It's time to relax now and take a few deep breaths.
In and out.
In and out.
Letting your body soften.
Keeping your mind clear and alert.
Ready for the journey that is to come.
I would like you to imagine that you stand up from where you're sitting or lying.
That you walk to your front door and open it.
And as you do,
You see the most beautiful scene.
A garden full of flowers and birds.
It's spring.
The air is mild.
Imagine yourself walking out of your door and becoming fully immersed in that garden.
Walking gently down a path.
Feeling safe and protected.
The sun on your face.
The wind on your skin.
Just allow this to sink in for a moment.
And when you're ready,
Imagine yourself walking down the path towards a very large tree.
A beautiful tree with a trunk as wide as a room.
Allow yourself to walk up to that tree and put your hands on the bark.
Just communicating your intent to enter into the realm of this tree.
And as you do that,
The tree starts to open.
And there's a doorway,
An entrance inside.
So walk inside this beautiful tree.
And look around.
You'll find yourself in a room.
Beautiful.
Natural.
A safe and protective space for you.
It might be pillows and couches or chairs and tables.
But whatever it is,
It is your space.
Yours and yours alone.
One that you can come to at any point.
Feeling the safety of the tree around you.
Just allow yourself to sit or lie down on the ground.
Connecting to the earth.
Feeling the walls of the tree alive all around you.
And seeing from above a beautiful shining bowl of light descend from the very heart of the tree into your heart.
This is a beautiful connection,
A benediction,
A blessing from the heart of Gaia to yourself.
And as you sit here or lie here in the tree,
You feel like you can let go.
Let go of any stresses or negative energies that you've been carrying to drain away into the earth.
To be carried away by the tree's roots.
To be recycled into positive energy from Mother Earth.
Allow the heart of the tree to tune your heart to our Mother.
To the beautiful,
Pervasive hum of the earth.
Just breathing deeply now,
Imagine anything negative that needs to leave,
Leaving you.
Flowing down through your feet into the earth.
Deeper and deeper into the centre of the earth,
Just allowing this energy to drain out of you.
Supported by this beautiful,
Sacred tree.
And you can feel inside the tree,
The chamber is glowing with light now.
Brighter and brighter,
A beautiful silver golden light.
This expanding and filling every cell of your body-mind,
Every cell of your being on the mental,
Physical and spiritual level.
With clean,
Clear,
Beautiful energy.
A blessing from the earth,
A blessing from the universe.
Just allowing yourself to feel that.
And gradually this beautiful bright light fades and becomes smaller and smaller.
And folds itself into your heart.
Into that space that was touched by the heart of the tree.
Now feel yourself lighter,
Brighter,
More calm.
Just give thanks to the tree.
And when you're ready you can stand up.
And walk back towards the opening.
Looking back at this beautiful,
Safe space.
And knowing that you can come here whenever you like.
Whenever things get a bit too much,
Whenever you need to release some negative energy.
You can come to this tree,
In this garden.
It will always remain for you in this place outside of time,
Outside of space.
Now walk out the doorway and turn and put your hands on the trunk and give thanks to the tree once again.
Seeing the tree return to its normal tree state.
But knowing that it will be here waiting and ready for you when you need it.
Now walk back up the path.
Back to your front door.
And then to the room where you started this meditation.
Feeling yourself back in your body now.
Wiggling your fingers and your toes.
Making sure you're here in this time,
In this place.
Giving thanks for the experience.
And when you're ready,
Opening your eyes.
Knowing that this beautiful light that came from the tree,
From the earth and from the universe remains with you now and always.
