Hello,
My name is Lorraine.
I live in a place called Scotland in the United Kingdom.
I am a meditation teacher.
I'm going to teach you a nice meditation which is to help you feel good and to feel confident.
And I call this meditation the Golden Sun Meditation.
So we'll start off by just lying down or sitting in a chair.
Allow your eyes to gently close,
If that's okay.
And I want you to pay attention to how you breathe in and out.
Sometimes we might use our nose or mouth to breathe in and out.
It doesn't really matter which you choose.
Or maybe you combine both your nose and your mouth.
But just pay attention to how the air all around you goes into your body and it comes back out of your body.
To your nose or your mouth or both.
So I want you to imagine that it's a really bright sunny day.
There's a big blue sky and there's a wonderful golden sun in the sky.
It's not too hot and it's not cold.
It's just the perfect temperature.
I want you to imagine you can feel that gentle warmth of the sun on your skin,
On your head,
All around your body.
And it feels really good and safe to be here on this sunny day with the sun in the sky and not a cloud in this beautiful blue sky.
There's something quite magical happens with this golden sun.
When you open up your hands,
Your palms in front of you,
You realise that the sun isn't just shining on your hands.
It's filling your hands with the golden light.
It's as if a little piece of the sun is forming in your hand like a little nugget of the beautiful sun is forming in your hand.
And it feels safe and it feels comfortable.
But you're just really curious how this piece of the sun could have ended up in your hands.
What we're going to do now,
We're going to imagine we can take that piece of sun in our hand and bring it up to our mouth.
And we're going to put it into our mouth.
We imagine this beautiful bright sun in our mouth just warming up this part of our body.
Maybe there's a strange sensation as we imagine that.
What's even funnier is that all the sunshine in your mouth,
You find your mouth turning up into the biggest grin,
The biggest smile.
Because it feels so strange to have the sun shining inside your mouth.
And now we're going to imagine that you swallow this piece of sunshine.
And this light goes down your throat and it goes down into your body.
And it reaches down into your tummy.
And when it reaches your tummy,
It feels so good.
In fact,
It feels like that little piece of sunshine has found its way into your tummy because it feels at home.
It's been waiting for you to find it and to take it inside.
But now as it reaches inside your tummy,
You start to notice it's not just about the sunshine and the light inside your tummy.
It brings this beautiful,
Warm,
Confident feeling.
Any worries or things we're scared of just seem to melt away in the warmth of this sunshine in our tummy.
And with every breath,
It gets brighter and stronger.
And it makes you feel brighter and stronger inside.
And you just imagine that golden piece of sunshine is there forever now.
It's there for you whenever you need it.
Whenever you're starting to feel a little bit scared or unsure or unhappy,
You remember that you've swallowed some sunshine.
And as soon as you remember,
It lights up inside.
It lights up and helps you feel warm,
Safe,
Helps you feel good inside.
It melts away all your worries,
All your stress,
All those difficult thoughts and feelings just melt away.
