Dreamscapes, Meditations by Brittany Pollard Hello and welcome to your guided meditation on fostering hope and gratitude. My name is Brittany Pollard and it is my honor to guide you over the next few minutes as you connect to the beautiful energies of hope and gratitude, Reminding yourselves that life itself is a miracle, Full of possibilities and the creation of new and different experiences. Life is a journey of surprises, For even when we think we have it all figured out, We receive a new layer of information and it is our job to learn how to manage what we receive. Sometimes the information is blissful and sometimes it can be hurtful. Either way, We are always in a space of receiving. We are always in a space of movement, Just as the sun rises and sets each day, Shifting from light to dark without hesitation or control. Our lives, Our emotions and our memories do the same. This meditation is all about fostering hope and gratitude while being in the midst of dynamic changes. For these are the moments that make us whole. Over the next little while, Allow yourself to just relax, Reminding yourself that you are safe and supported through this journey, Settling into your comfortable space, Sitting or laying down whatever feels best for you, Closing your eyes and easing any tension in your body, Letting go of any tightness in your jaw, Your neck, Your hands, Letting go gently and softly. That's it. Beautiful job. Letting go and just being here in this moment, Reminding yourself to breathe, Tapping into the natural rhythm of your breath as your belly rises and falls. There you go. Taking one hand and gently placing it on your heart, Feeling the ancient rhythm of one of the most powerful instruments in the world, The drum beat that exists within you every single moment of every single day, Feeling its immense power, This sacred source of love, The birthplace of all emotion. Feel into how it magnificently beats, The unwavering rhythm. This is yours. Beautiful job. As you relax into the beat of your heart, You are transported to an open, Empty field of tall and beautiful grass. It has the most brilliant green and wisps in all different directions, Folding and pointing and shifting in the most miraculous ways. Busted against the clear blue sky, It is so majestic, Visually stunning, A masterpiece created by Mother Nature. The air is clear and the sun is shining so brightly. It warmly grazes against your skin. You look around and notice the great big trees in the distance, Standing tall and gently blowing in the breeze. The leaves of the great trees are just as lush and captivating as the grass, Their trunks wide and rooted deep within the earth's flesh. The sight is so beautiful. Laying down in the grass, You shift your view to capture more of the sky, Watching how the clouds effortlessly journey. No forcing, No rushing, Just surrendering to the flow. In the clouds, The sun shines brightly, Lining each cloud with a beautiful golden glow, Cascading this glow into the open field where you lay. As the glow touches you, You are filled with remembrance. Your cells activate, Remembering all of the times where life was unsure and hard, But you made it. Remembering when you overcame obstacles that seemed impossible. Remembering each time you fell and you got back up, Love. Remembering just how resilient and magnificent you are. Each memory sends tiny sparks of hope, Illuminating your body with one of the most beautiful energies that keeps life in motion. The one that connects you with humanity, The one that has held you through some of the hardest times. Hope. You remember the feeling of hope. Hope is the foundation of change, It is what shifts the future when the outcome is unclear and unknown. Your body glows with so much hope. So much hope in possibilities, So much hope in overcoming, So much hope in creating. Feel into this hope that you have. And if it takes time for this energy to activate within you, Just go back to remembrance. Enjoying what hope feels like. As your body glows with the energy of hope, You now invite in gratitude, Whispering the words, Thank you. Just as hope has the power to change, So does gratitude. Those two words, Thank you, Revitalize your body, Thank you. As you repeat the words, Thank you, Your glow magnifies, Sending a wave of energy through your system. Thank you. With each thank you, The waves continue as you begin to glow even brighter. Thank you. Thanking your body for all that it has brought you through from the time you were born into this world to where you are today. As you lay in this field looking up at the beautiful clouds as they pass by. Thank you. Now sending the words, Thank you, Out into the universe, You share your glow, Extending it into the world around you. Touching all of the hearts around you. Seeing how your one spark creates an illumination in others. You see how this spark of thank you and hope extends to the trees. As the trees begin to glow, You see how it is extended to the birds and how it drifts into the field around you. Thank you. The energy of this gratitude and hope begins to amplify as it touches everything around you, As it touches the planet. And you feel into its goodness all of this power is magnified within you. This brilliant energy. Can you feel it? Can you now turn it up even higher? Feeling it even more, This beautiful energy of gratitude as it surges now in your body and out into the world. Seeing the oceans and the highest of mountain tops, This energy of hope and gratitude. They are what carry you through the most uncertain of times, They are what shape you and the world. Be quiet, Feel it. It is your smile that heals, It is your heart that heals, It is the hope that you carry that heals. The gratitude you express brings even more blessings. For all the times you made away when there was none, Thank yourself, Thank your heart. Thank you for being here today in this moment of being underneath the beautiful open air, Laying in the grass and sending hope and thanks from your body out into the world. My name is Brittany Pollard and I thank you for allowing me to be here with you. As this meditation comes to a close, Bring your awareness back into the room, Wiggling your hands and feet, Taking grounding and cleansing breaths, Continuing to fuel your body with this amplified energy you created during this meditation, Smiling beautifully. Thank you. Sending you peace and protection as you take your time to continue to come back into the room. The music will continue to play for a little while. Marinate in the energy of what you created today and allow yourself to stay lifted inside of it. Thank you.
