Hello,
My name is Lorraine and I'm going to take you through a lovely meditation that I call the Golden Crown Meditation.
Now if you've meditated before you can sit with your legs crossed on the floor in a chair,
Sit upright,
Nice straight back.
Or if you would rather you can lie down,
Lie down on your bed or the ground and then just take a big deep breath in and then sigh it out.
So breathe in again for me,
And a big sigh.
And then we'll do that one more time.
Just imagine that out breath,
All your worries going away.
Well done.
What I'd like to do is just take a moment to wiggle your toes.
And just that helps you pay attention to where your feet are.
And then you can maybe wiggle your fingers,
That tells you where your hands are.
You can wiggle your nose,
That tells you where your face is.
So if at any point you feel a bit unsure or a bit lost,
Just wiggle your fingers or toes or your nose.
And you can just let yourself take another deep breath and sigh it out.
I want you to imagine that you have a beautiful crown,
Golden crown being placed on your head.
You imagine that crown sitting on top of your head.
What you don't realise is that this crown has special powers,
Magic.
And you just,
Each time you take a nice long deep breath,
You imagine this solid but comfortable golden crown on your head.
But with every breath it gets a little bit lighter.
In fact it seems as if the metal is transforming into golden light.
And this crown is very special because it can absorb all your worries and all your fears and your thoughts in your head.
All the ones you want to let go of.
You don't need to do anything special,
You just make a wish.
And as you make that wish it's as if the crown knows,
This golden crown knows.
And it does its special job of absorbing all those thoughts,
Images,
Anything in your head that makes you feel unhappy or uncomfortable.
So do that for a few more breaths.
Just letting this golden crown,
This golden crown of light absorb all those difficult thoughts in your head.
Tiredness,
Worries about friendships or school or home.
Or things outside in the world.
Golden crown just takes them all.
So now I want you to imagine you're going to place your hands on the golden crown.
And when you do that it feels really light in your hands,
Much lighter than you thought it would.
You imagine lifting it just slightly off your head and then turning it.
Turning it around so that the back of the crown is now at the front and the front of the crown is now at the back.
And when you do that you notice that what is now the front of the crown,
Just above your brow,
There is a beautiful big jewel embedded in the crown.
Just be curious what colour this jewel is.
What's magical about this jewel is that it can change colour.
So it changes to whatever colour you need it to be right now.
So now the golden crown has a different purpose.
And it's purpose is to fill you up with lots of lovely feelings and energy.
And it's as if that jewel in your crown,
That beautiful colour is shining down through your body.
So if you have a sore tummy it shines into your sore tummy and you get this warm relaxed feeling in your tummy.
Or if your legs are a bit tired or restless it shines down into your legs.
And suddenly you notice how heavy and relaxed your legs are,
Much more comfortable.
And if you are feeling a little bit anxious or worried in your chest it shines down into your chest and it fills you up with this lovely feeling and energy of warmth,
Love,
Hope and kindness.
And it's only very special people like you who have these crowns which is why you are listening to this.
You become aware of this special crown you have on your head with its jewel,
Helping you feel much better and lighter and stronger and happier and calmer.
And what this crown can also do is that you can direct the light from the crown through the jewel to anyone that you care about.
You imagine rays of coloured light beaming out from your crown and surrounding anyone you love who is unhappy or stressed.
So maybe your parents,
Your carers,
Your pets,
Even those that annoy you like your brother or sister,
Sometimes your friends.
And imagine this really beautiful coloured light shining all the way to them and surrounding and filling them with this amazing energy.
So although our crown is invisible to everyone else,
We know it's there,
We can feel it and imagine it,
Sense it.
Whenever you need to remind yourself of your golden crown you come back and listen to this short meditation.
You come back and check in with your superpower of your golden crown.
Remember now you can move your toes,
Move your fingers,
You can wiggle your nose and open your eyes when you want to.
This may mean that you can start walking in a certain direction.
