Let's start off today in breathing in through a straw the color purple,
Pushing out with your lips the color blue,
Breathing in purple,
And breathing out blue.
One last time,
Breathing in purple,
And breathing out blue.
Shake your shoulders a little bit,
Back and forth,
And shake your hands.
This helps to relax your body.
Let's go to meet our first element of Mother Nature,
Beginning at the entrance to your forest,
Making your way through the entrance and walking through the forest.
You come across the base of a tall mountain.
You climb up this mountain,
And you notice a very special rock on the ground.
You pick up this rock and feel the weight in your hand as you hold it.
Feel its texture and its cold temperature.
It invites you to become one with the rock,
So your human form vanishes and you become a rock,
Sitting quietly on the mountain,
Surrounded by other rocks around you,
So still and peaceful.
You decide to become the entire mountain,
Taking on the form of this gigantic mountain.
Feel what it feels like to be this mountain,
So lovely,
Solid,
Grounded,
Still and peaceful.
On the surface of the mountain,
You feel a warmth from the sun.
One of the rays of the sun is warming you as you are the mountain.
You decide to become this ray of sunshine.
You take on the form of the ray of sunshine as it peeks through the clouds,
Feeling airy and free,
Warm and fiery.
You follow this ray of sunshine all the way up to the sun,
Becoming one with the sun,
This burning ball of fire in the sky.
Fire is great at burning off the old and starting anew,
Creating new beginnings.
Feel what it feels like to dance like the flames of fire as you are the sun.
You move down through a ray of sunshine again,
Back to planet Earth,
But before you touch the ground,
You notice the breeze of the cool wind.
You decide to become the wind,
Moving in any direction that you want and in complete freedom.
You are wild and free.
You are the wind.
Feel what this feels like now.
As the wind,
You find a stream of water running through the forest.
You decide to become one with the stream of water,
Noticing how it flows over rocks and obstacles,
Gently making its way in the direction it's called to,
Until it merges with the ocean.
Water is lovely at clearing away and cleaning off any heaviness,
Like taking a bath or a shower.
So as you merge from the stream to the ocean,
You feel any heaviness or bad thoughts wash away as you have a clean start with this water.
Feel what it feels like to be the ocean now.
Coming back to the shore,
You see a little baby tree,
A sapling that will someday grow to be a huge tree.
You become one with the baby tree,
Growing,
Changing,
Becoming wiser and stronger,
Until you become a large tree,
Where birds and squirrels and maybe even bears will climb you at times.
Trees are grounded and strong,
Flexible against the wind.
Feel yourself swaying back and forth like a tree.
Become the entire forest now,
All of the trees in the forest at once.
Wonderful work.
Coming down through the roots of the tree into the soil of planet earth,
Full of nutrients and minerals to help the plant life thrive.
Become the earth and all of its soil and ground.
Feel what this feels like to take up space now.
Beautiful work.
Coming back now into the forest that you arrived in,
Finding the entranceway that you came through.
As you become and see your entire body now,
Thank all of the elements that you got to meet and learn from today,
Like the rocks,
The mountain,
The sun,
The water,
The wind,
The trees and the earth.
This was so much fun.
I hope you had fun too.
