Let's begin by finding a comfortable position,
Either sitting or lying down.
Just take a moment to be in the moment.
Set your intention to make this a relaxing and peaceful meditation.
Feel the weight of your body sink and settle into its support.
Roll your shoulders gently to the front,
And now to the back,
And let your arms fall comfortably and naturally.
When you're ready,
Close your eyes and take a slow,
Deep breath in through your nose,
Hold it,
Then exhale slowly through your mouth.
Once more,
Deep breath in,
Hold it,
And out through your mouth.
One last time,
Inhale deeply through your nose,
Hold it,
And exhale feeling the air flow into your body,
And with each exhalation bringing calm and relaxation.
Breathe normally and comfortably.
As you do,
Release any tension or stress you may be holding,
And let all anxiety from the day dissolve into nothingness.
Now let's take advantage of the gift of Earth's energy by grounding yourself in the wisdom of the ages.
Imagine roots growing from the soles of your feet,
Extending deep into the Earth.
Deeper and deeper they grow toward the core of the Earth itself,
And as you continue to breathe comfortably and naturally,
Feel the golden energy and wisdom of the ages flowing up through these roots.
Allow it to ground you,
To anchor you,
To center you.
Continue to breathe,
And let's bring focus to the area just between your eyebrows and toward the center of your head.
This is where your third eye chakra is located.
This is one of your spiritual energy centers and is often thought to govern intuition,
Imagination,
And perception,
And allows you to see beyond the physical world.
Take a moment to visualize a bright indigo,
Deep blue-violet light radiating from the center of your forehead,
Cleansing and balancing this important energy center.
And take another deep breath in through your nose.
Hold it,
And exhale slowly and fully through your mouth.
Now picture yourself sitting at a small,
Ornate,
Forged iron table outside a quaint cafe in an ancient Italian village.
It's on a cliff overlooking the deep blue sea.
The gray,
Smooth but uneven cobblestone streets beneath your feet have witnessed centuries of history,
And you can almost feel the wisdom of the ages being shared with you.
As you look around,
You see colorful flower boxes adorning the windows of nearby pastel-painted homes,
Their fragrance carried on the gentle breeze.
Friendly locals pass by,
Offering warm smiles and cheerful hellos.
In front of you on this table sits a steaming,
Soothing cup of cappuccino,
Coffee,
Tea,
Or any of your favorite hot beverages.
As you lift it to your lips,
Inhale the comforting aroma with all of its complex top notes.
Slowly take a sip,
Savoring the warmth and flavor as it spreads comfort through your body.
Observe the charming scene around you,
Taking in every detail with all of your senses.
In this place,
Time has no meaning.
There are no calendars,
Or no appointments.
The only commitment expected of you here is to relax in the moment and savor this experience.
As you finish your drink,
You stand up and begin a leisurely stroll along the winding cobblestone street.
Each step connects you with hundreds of years of memories embedded in these ancient stones.
As you turn a corner,
A warm,
Pulsating golden light catches your eye,
Emanating from a narrow alley.
Curiosity guides you toward the light,
And as you peer down the alley,
You spot an extraordinary bicycle unlike any you've seen before.
Somehow you know it is the source of the magical golden glow,
Its frame of vibrant yellow like the brightest sunflowers in full bloom.
The large,
Comfortable seat seems to beckon you aboard.
Without hesitation,
You approach the bicycle.
Take hold of the handlebars,
Lift one leg over the frame,
And settle onto its inviting seat.
It feels inexplicably comfortable,
More like a favorite armchair than a bicycle seat.
As your feet find the pedals,
One at a time,
The bicycle comes to life,
Slowly moving forward of its own accord.
Feelings of safety,
Trust,
And comfort envelop you as the bicycle glides out of the alley,
Making a gentle right turn onto a downward-sloping road.
You feel the warm breeze caress your face as you descend the ancient hillside.
Breathe in deeply,
Taking in the sweet scent of wildflowers in bloom.
Above and around you,
The sky is a deep,
Mesmerizing blue without a single cloud to mar its perfection.
As your magical journey continues,
You notice that you're approaching a cliff overlooking the sea.
Suddenly,
The bicycle emits a soft,
Calming hum,
And wings magically unfurl beneath the pedals.
You feel no fear or anxiety as you near the cliff's edge,
Trusting completely in this wondrous vehicle.
The bicycle reaches the edge,
And with a slight,
Almost imperceptible bump,
You leave solid ground behind.
You're now gliding smoothly through the air,
Parallel to the ocean's edge.
The vast expanse of blue stretches out before you,
Merging with the horizon.
Feel the exhilaration of flight,
The freedom of soaring above the world.
As you pull back on the handlebars,
You soar higher and higher.
The people enjoying the beach appear smaller and smaller,
And the beautiful yachts of vacationers look like children's toys.
This perspective anchors you in the utter majesty of what nature provides.
The blue-green colors and hues of the varying ocean depths look like a painting from one of the masters.
The warmth of the sun's life-giving energy on your face,
And the purity of the sea air filling your lungs,
Combine to exhilarate and energize you in a way that you cannot describe.
You are totally at peace and in the present.
Take some time now to simply enjoy this peaceful journey,
Letting all of your cares drift away on the sea breeze.
Continue to breathe in the healing air as you marvel at the colors,
Shapes,
Sizes,
Smells,
And sounds of the natural wonders below,
Above,
And surrounding you.
Let your third eye visualize whatever your mind desires along this journey,
And after a few moments,
My voice will help bring you back.
As we get ready to end this divine journey for now and prepare to return,
Take a deep breath in through the nose and exhale slowly through the mouth,
And once more in and out.
And one last time,
In through the nose,
Hold the breath this time,
And out through the mouth.
These breaths signal to the bicycle to return you safely to the ground,
Which it does.
Back through the alleyway to where your journey began.
Now gently wiggle your fingers and toes.
Feel yourself gently returning to the present moment,
Refreshed and relaxed.
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes and reacquaint yourself with your physical surroundings.
Until the next time,
We give thanks for this mystical experience,
And know that you can return whenever you would like.
Thank you for joining.
