Hi,
Thanks for joining me,
Clara,
On this guided meditation for sleep.
Before we begin this visualization to the ancient tree of knowledge,
Please find a place where you feel the most comfortable.
It could be on your bed or on the floor with some pillows.
Close your eyes and release the thoughts or any anxiety you might have.
Next,
Drop your shoulders as low as possible to relieve any stress from your neck.
This will help relax your body.
Now for a little while,
Focus on your breathing by taking five deep breaths.
Take one deep breath into your belly,
Hold for a moment and exhale.
Now breathe in again and fill your lungs with air,
Hold and breathe out.
Perhaps this breath will bring a soothing feeling of relaxation with it.
Inhale again so your lungs are full of air,
Take a moment here and exhale.
Now your body is naturally relaxing in different areas.
Take this next breath in,
Imagine it purifying your whole body,
Hold and release.
One last full breath in,
Now exhale and allow the relaxation to sweep over you.
Remember this feeling because deep conscious breathing is one of the keys to enhancing physical and emotional well-being.
See yourself standing in a beautiful field,
The peace of nature flows into you as the sunshine pours into the abundant life encircling you.
When you look down at your feet,
You notice that you're barefoot.
It feels good to connect with Mother Earth and your feet start tingling.
When you close your eyes,
You feel the warm sun on your face,
There's a gentle breeze blowing and you stretch your arms out to either side of you and feel the breeze sweep over your body.
The breeze picks up a little and as it does,
You know it's cleansing away your worries or burdens and it clears away any heaviness or sadness you've been holding on to.
Allow yourself a few moments to let the breeze thoroughly cleanse your mind,
Body,
Soul and emotions.
You're now feeling refreshed,
Cleansed and cleared.
Take a deep cleansing breath and in your mind's eye,
See before you a path starts to form.
The path leads into a forest and you start walking on it,
The forest feels alluring and magical and your senses seem to sharpen as you walk deeper into the woods.
The narrow path leads into a sort of tunnel made of forest,
Within a few paces,
You leave the sunny day behind and plunge into another realm.
The atmosphere is cool and pleasant in the shade and a vaguely floral scent saturates the air.
As you walk along,
Your eyesight becomes crystal clear and sharp,
You become highly attuned to sound and your feeling and knowing are more intense than ever.
You take a moment to look around you and fully appreciate your surroundings with your heightened senses,
You feel uplifted as you continue to walk through the forest.
Ahead,
You notice the forest starts to thin,
Opening into a clearing.
As you approach the clearing,
You notice it's lighter and brighter than the forest and the energy here is calm and peaceful.
You notice a huge tree and are magnetically drawn to walk towards it.
As you get closer,
You sense and feel that this tree is ancient and wise.
It has enormous roots that grow deep into the earth and the trunk is broad and majestic.
At the front of the trunk is a beautiful big door with an antique lock.
You arrive at the tree and stand there in awe,
Noticing the size,
Shape,
Branches,
Leaves and textures of this magnificent tree.
You realize that this tree is very familiar and you've been here many times before.
This tree is your tree of knowledge and inside it contains all the answers to all the questions you've ever wanted to know.
As you stand there looking at the tree,
You become aware of a key in your hand and realize you've been holding it all along.
You put the key into the lock,
Open the door and step inside.
Inside is a small room that has an energy about it that feels like home and you feel very safe and very relaxed here.
The room has nothing but a soft glowing light that radiates from above.
This light will be a different color each time you come here,
But it's always the right color for you at the time.
Notice the color of the light today and spend a moment soaking in the healing benefits of this light.
See,
Feel or know that this light is working its magic on you and allow yourself to fully accept the healing color your intuitive self has chosen for you today.
This room is also where you ask your higher self to now lead the way.
Your higher self is that wise,
Eternal and a pure part of you.
It is the divine and sacred aspect of you.
Your higher self always wants what's best for you as it is you.
The all-knowing you,
Without earthly or ego attachments,
Connect with the energy of it now and start to feel the empowerment from aligning with your authentic self.
Take a deep breath and slowly exhale as you feel the connection deepen.
Continue breathing,
And naturally,
Breathing in and breathing out.
Walk towards the back of the room and notice a staircase leading up.
The seven steps lead to another room,
And you take your first step and begin to climb.
As you slowly take each step,
Your anticipation starts growing as you get closer to the room and you start remembering being here before.
You reach the room and you see it has no door because it's always open for you.
You walk inside.
The room is round and well-lit,
And from floor to ceiling,
It's filled with books.
In the center of the room are an old wooden table and a big comfortable chair.
You feel a sense of peacefulness in this room,
And there's a feeling you've been here many times.
The books are your own personal books of wisdom,
And you have access to them now.
Close your eyes and think of a question you need an answer to,
A solution to a problem you may have,
Or maybe you need confirmation about something.
You may want to ask,
What do I need to know right now?
Ask your higher self to select a book for you.
When you open your eyes,
There's a book in front of you.
Notice the cover of the book.
Is there a title?
What color is your book?
What condition is the book in?
Open the book and read the message that is in the book for you.
You may not see words,
You might get a sense or a feeling of what the message is,
Or you might have a knowledge of what the message is,
Or you may even hear your message.
Pay attention to anything at all that's happening right now,
Big or small,
As messages are often very subtle.
You may even have a pet or a loved one in spirit that connects with you now.
Sit with this for a few moments,
And when you feel ready,
Ask your higher self to take the book and place it back on the shelf for you.
Spend a moment reflecting on your experience with your book,
And when you're ready,
Ask your higher self to lead you down the staircase.
As you walk,
Slowly down each step,
Let the memory of your message fully sink into your being.
When you reach the bottom of the staircase and are back in the small room,
Thank your higher self for helping you today.
Bask in the color of the soft light in the room one more time,
And when you're ready,
Step out of the door and close it behind you.
Give thanks to your tree of knowledge,
And know that you always have the key with you,
And you can visit here any time you want to.
Begin walking from the clearing and towards the forest,
Then walk back along the path and through the woods.
You feel light and refreshed,
And you remember your message as you make your way to the forest's edge.
You step out of the forest and follow your path back towards the field.
When you arrive at the meadow again,
You feel the warmth of the sun and the earth beneath your feet.
Here,
You lie down,
Close your eyes,
And listen to the sound of the birds and insects in the meadow.
