This meditation is a guided visualization to invite healing into your heart.
You can use this meditation to let go of blockages,
Heaviness,
Sadness,
And anger from your heart space.
You can also use this meditation to drop into your heart,
Experience the love within,
And access new levels of healing.
When you feel ready,
Find a comfortable,
Quiet space to be.
You can sit in a chair if that feels most comfortable,
Or you can lie down.
Very slowly,
If it feels good to do so,
Close your eyes.
I invite you to place your hands over your heart space in the center of your chest.
As you bring your hands to this place on your body,
Let your awareness flow there too.
As you breathe in,
Let your body relax into the feeling of your palms.
As you exhale,
Let yourself sink deeper into the chair,
Bed,
Or surface supporting you.
Every inhale and every exhale leads you deeper into a sense of peaceful being.
If you notice any lingering worries from your day,
Let them leave your body with every exhale.
In a moment,
We will be going on a journey of healing.
This journey begins with your visualization of a forest gateway.
Let this gateway be whatever comes to mind.
On the other side of this gateway is a deeply healing forest.
This forest belongs directly to you and your soul.
In a moment,
I will count down from 10 to 1.
As I do so,
Imagine yourself stepping through the gateway and arriving in your healing forest space.
10,
9,
8,
Moving across the threshold,
7,
6,
5,
Feel yourself beginning to arrive in the forest,
4,
3,
2,
1.
Arrive with full presence in this incredible forest.
Take a few moments here to explore.
Open to all of your senses.
Wander and take it all in.
Notice the sense of flowers floating on the breeze.
Feel the wind against your skin,
The moss under your feet.
Maybe even taste a berry from a nearby bush.
You notice a narrow,
Soft path leading deeper into the forest to an opening between the trees.
Peacefully,
You walk along the path.
As you round the bend,
You see that the trees are shading a magnificent flowing river,
Which slows down to create a calm pool in the center of the clearing.
You hear the whooshing of the water.
You see the sunlight reflecting against the surface of the flowing river.
You notice the clear,
Bright blue of the water in the calm pool.
You can see through to the smooth,
Colorful stones resting at the bottom.
Your favorite flower blossoms are floating on the surface of the water,
And on the edge of the pool is a glass bottle filled with rose-infused oil.
You are so safe and so held here.
You feel completely protected.
You walk to the edge of the pool and pick up the bottle.
You pour some oil into your hands,
And you gently rub the oil onto your heart center.
You trace circles,
And as your circles grow wider,
Your heart center expands.
You feel warmth opening through your chest.
This bottle is filled with the healing,
Heart-opening energy of rose.
You feel rose's loving,
Healing energy move into your cells.
Here,
All healing is possible.
Here,
You are entirely held,
Totally safe,
And completely loved.
You look at the flowers floating on the surface of the pool,
And you get a sense that your favorite flowers in the perfect quantities arrived here just for you to enjoy.
You step into the pool,
And you notice that the fresh,
Pure water is the perfect temperature.
It's almost the same temperature as your body.
You float on your back,
Feeling completely weightless and supported by the water beneath you.
You see sunlight play on leaves.
Wind rustles,
And birds call.
Flowers bob by.
You inhale deeply to take in their scent,
And you feel a lightness clearing out your heart space.
The water flows down and out of the calm pool you are floating in,
And you let go of everything that lives inside of your heart that you're ready to let go of.
Let go of disappointment.
Let go of feelings of separation.
Let go of pain.
Let go of sadness.
As the water flows and the flowers float around you,
You are absolutely free to let all of these go.
With each passing moment in the forest,
You feel lighter,
More alive,
More present,
And more free.
In this moment,
You have never belonged more fully to yourself,
And you know that you will take this feeling with you,
Even as you transition out of this healing space.
Remain in this pool for as long as you like.
When you feel ready to bring your healing to a close,
Slowly step out of the pool.
Give thanks to the river,
The forest,
And rose.
Begin to make your way along the path to the place where you entered the forest.
You see the beautiful gateway that brought you here.
As I count up from one to ten,
Move back through the gateway that first brought you to your forest alcove.
Bring with you all of the healing from this space to your body at this moment in time.
One,
Two,
Passing through the gateway,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six,
Arriving back in your body,
Seven,
Eight,
Feeling the aliveness from the beautiful healing you just experienced.
Nine,
Ten,
You arrive fully back in your body in this moment in time.
Give yourself as long as you need to rest here.
