Welcome to this guided meditation and thank you for taking this time to care for yourself.
I've created many meditations,
But this is only the second which does not include background music or sounds.
The first,
Which I called Sitting in the Stillness,
Received such positive feedback that I created the one you're about to experience now.
And as we take this journey together,
You will notice segments where I stop speaking to allow you to simply sit in silence,
To embrace the stillness.
This allows you to acknowledge thoughts as they pass into your mind and merely let them pass through,
Much like clearing out clutter from the mind,
Things that do not positively serve us.
So as we usually do,
Let's begin by finding a comfortable position,
Either sitting or lying down.
If you're sitting,
Try to keep the spine straight,
But not rigid.
Feel the weight of your body against its support and notice how it settles as you begin to relax.
For a few moments,
Bring your attention to your breath and acknowledge it as the gift that it is from however you define the greatest good.
Our breath begins from the moment of our introduction into this world and continues unceasingly and dependably until we transition into our next existence.
Our breath is purifying and nurturing and calming.
So take a few moments to simply enjoy the beauty of your breath.
Take some deep breaths in through the nose,
Hold for a few seconds,
And then exhale slowly through your mouth.
And as you do,
Breathe in the best and most positive of Earth's energy and breathe out things like anxiety or worry or anger,
Anything that prevents you from finding true peace and tranquility in the stillness.
Now breathe normally and comfortably,
But let's spend a bit more time with our breath and our focus and use it to clear our spiritual energy centers called chakras as we travel past them along our spine.
This time,
As you breathe in,
Imagine drawing up Earth's beautiful red grounding energy from its deepest core and bring it up through your feet and legs and thighs and have this beautiful deep red energy come to rest at the base of your spine,
The location of your root chakra.
This beautiful energy clears the chakra and as it does,
It transforms from red into a vibrant orange colored energy.
This time,
As you breathe in,
Draw that orange energy up from the base of the spine and direct it upward to the area in the lower abdomen,
Just below the navel where the sacral chakra is located.
This purifying orange energy clears this chakra as it passes and then goes from orange to a bright soothing yellow energy like the color of the sunshine on a clear day.
So with your next breath,
Draw this yellow energy upward from the lower abdomen past the navel and to the area just below the start of the chest where our solar plexus chakra is located.
This cleansing yellow energy does its job impeccably,
Clearing this chakra and then slowly morphs into a stunning green energy,
The color of the heart chakra.
So with your next breath in,
Draw this limitless energy up from the solar plexus and allow it to gently and completely fill your chest,
Your heart center.
Sit for a few moments in this energy and simply experience the warmth,
The love and the compassion as your heart chakra clears.
Now this emerald green energy shifts in color to the deepest blue and as you breathe in,
It moves upward from the heart center to the throat chakra.
It cleanses that chakra and encourages us to confidently use our voice to communicate.
It reminds us that while there is beauty in the stillness and the quiet,
There is also power in the voice.
And now this deep blue energy gently and subtly takes on some purple and transforms to indigo,
A combination of the deepest blue and the deepest purple.
This energy is magical and as you breathe,
Draw it upward to the area just between your eyes and in the center of your head,
The location of your third eye chakra.
As it clears,
It strengthens your psychic and intuitive senses before changing to the most soothing of violet colored energy.
As you breathe,
This violet energy moves to the top of your head and then just above it,
Where your crown chakra is located,
Which helps connect you to your higher spiritual self and that which is considered the greatest good.
And now we have one last color to experience on this purifying journey.
And to do this,
Imagine that the violet light energy that is resting just above your head begins to spiral upward.
Watch in your mind as it spins higher and higher,
Into the sky,
Past the clouds,
Into space and even beyond,
Into what we call the realm of the greatest good,
The realm of the divine.
This is where the violet energy that you brought gently merges and combines with the purest white soothing energy that you could ever imagine.
This divine energy will always reciprocate the energy that you brought to it,
And so now it descends to return to you.
Downward it spirals,
Gaining beauty and power as it moves,
And as it reaches the top of your head,
It showers you with its beauty.
It envelops you in a sacred bubble of the purest white light energy,
Which heals and protects you and prepares you for the next leg of our journey together today.
So as we sit in our calmness and tranquility,
Imagine being transported to a beautiful meadow in spring,
Snow-capped mountains in the distance,
And a peaceful,
Tranquil lake closer to you.
You walk slowly toward the lake and see a comfortable-looking bench along its shore.
You approach the bench and run your hand along its back to feel the smoothness of the weathered wood.
You take a seat,
Settling into the comfort of the bench as you feel its strong support beneath you.
The meadow is alive with the gentle hum of nature,
The scent of blooming flowers drifting on the breeze,
And the warmth of the sun on your skin.
Take a deep breath in,
Filling your lungs with a fresh,
Crisp air of spring.
And as you exhale,
Let any residual tension in your body melt away.
And remember the clarifying energy of our chakra journey and the calming energy provided by the Divine.
You are perfectly at ease,
Surrounded by the soft buzzing of bees and the faint rustling of leaves.
You hear the song of an occasional bird as it flies past,
And your mind is cleared of the clutter that blocked you.
Now look up and notice the sky above you.
The sun is shining brightly against a crystal-clear blue sky.
Ever so slowly,
Clouds begin to gather.
You watch as they drift in from the horizon,
One by one,
Slowly and gently,
Covering the blue expanse.
But this is beautiful.
You feel the shift in the atmosphere as the sunlight softens behind those clouds.
The meadow feels cooler,
Quieter,
As if the world is holding its breath,
Taking a pause.
This is a moment of stillness,
Indeed a quiet pause in your day.
Let yourself rest in this moment,
Acknowledging and observing the clouds above,
Enjoying their shape,
Nuances of color,
And imagining their textures.
Allow them to come gently as you sit quietly and breathe normally,
Until you hear my voice again.
And now we return to where we began,
A focus on the wonder of our breath.
With each breath you take,
You have the power to gently move those clouds away.
With each inhale,
Gather your focus,
And with each exhale,
Gently push a single cloud aside.
Feel the power within you,
That gentle intention,
Slowly clearing the sky.
As the minutes pass,
One cloud drifts away,
Revealing a small patch of blue.
And with another breath,
Another cloud goes,
And fleeting rays of sun peek through the openings,
Until slowly,
But surely,
The entire sky returns to a brilliant,
Clear,
Deep blue.
Feel the warmth of the sun returning to your skin,
The brightness filling your vision,
And the meadow once again vibrant and alive around you.
You have taken your world off pause,
Ready to seize another day.
Breathe in this moment of clarity,
Peace,
And warmth.
Remember that you have the power to shift the clouds in your life,
To bring back the sunshine whenever you need it.
Take a few deep physical breaths,
And wiggle your fingers and toes.
Roll your shoulders if you wish,
And when you're ready,
Slowly bring your awareness back to your body,
And the space around you.
And when comfortable,
Open your eyes.
Once again,
Acknowledge your physical surroundings.
Give thanks for this experience,
And remember that you can return to this journey whenever you wish.
To clear your chakras,
And clear the clouds.
Thank you.
