Welcome to this guided meditation.
Find a comfortable position,
Whether sitting or lying down.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose,
Filling your lungs completely.
Hold it for a moment,
Then exhale slowly through your mouth.
Let's repeat.
Deep in through your nose,
Hold it,
And out through your mouth.
Once more.
In through your nose,
Hold it,
And out through your mouth.
You're feeling more and more relaxed.
Bring your attention to your body.
Feel the weight of your body against the surface supporting you.
Take note of any areas of tension and consciously relax those muscles.
Let your body sink deeper into relaxation with each breath.
Now imagine yourself in a lush,
Woodland setting.
The air is crisp and clean,
Filled with the scent of pine and earth.
You look up and you're surrounded by towering trees,
Their leaves gently rustling in a soft breeze.
The ground beneath your feet is soft with fallen leaves and moss.
As you look around,
You notice rolling hills covered in vibrant green.
Your eyes are drawn to one particular hill,
Its surface blanketed in thick,
Velvety moss.
As you make your way toward it,
You see a large,
Welcoming opening to a cave.
You stand at the entrance,
And before entering,
You take a moment to surround yourself with the purest,
White,
Divine light.
Visualize this light emanating from within you,
Expanding outward to create a protective cocoon around your entire being.
This light will protect you and illuminate your path as you explore the wonder of the cave.
As you step into the cave,
The fresh smell of green moss fills your nostrils.
Your ears detect the tranquil flow of water through the cave and its many tunnels,
The same water that has slowly formed this cave over eons.
Take a moment to be present and appreciate these gifts that your senses of smell and hearing have provided.
As you look around,
The divine white light shines along the cave walls,
Revealing an iridescence unlike anything you've ever seen before.
Beautiful swirls of mineral colors,
Deepest purples,
Brightest blues,
Golden yellows,
All combine into a masterpiece of vibrance against the walls of stone.
Reach out and run your hand along those walls.
Feel the coolness,
The moisture,
The softness of pillows of moss peppering the surface.
Take a deep breath and marvel at the wonder of this place that you have found.
Now the white protective light guides you to an area where the cave slightly narrows,
But still with plenty of room to walk through without any effort.
As you pass through,
You feel a sense of peace and tranquility overcome you.
As you look ahead,
You are struck speechless by the majesty of the mammoth mineral deposits forming a crystalline forest right before you.
Pointed cones of sparkle and color twice your size descend from the top of the cave,
While points of equal beauty rise from the cave floor.
The divine white light that you carry exposes their beauty which has been sleeping in shadows for millions of years.
Move closer and feel the crystal energy of these structures that now surround you.
As you find yourself in the center of the largest of these,
Your pure white light begins to radiate outward,
Upward,
In every direction,
Casting a spiritual net of energy to harness the vibrations that these crystalline structures provide.
You find yourself utterly and entirely at peace,
Completely calm,
Completely relaxed.
Take a few calming breaths,
And if your shoulders have tensed along your journey,
Let them relax at your sides.
Breathe naturally in the moment.
Now almost as quickly as it spread outward,
The white light now returns to you,
Withdrawing from its contact with the crystals and bringing the newfound vibration from those crystals back to you.
The light and its energy fills every cell of your body,
Every aspect of your being,
And you are immediately refreshed,
Rejuvenated like a dip in the most tranquil of blue waters.
This is a warm and loving embrace for you to keep now as your own for all time.
Whenever you feel down or stressed,
Remember you may draw upon that energy,
That unique gift from nature,
To refresh your mind and body.
Take a few deep breaths to savor the beauty of this moment and to gaze once more upon the majesty of this crystal sanctuary.
Now the time has come to return.
Take a breath and bid your setting farewell for now.
Slowly bring your awareness back to your current surroundings.
Feel the weight of your body back in the chair or the bed where you are sitting or lying.
As you do,
Give thanks to nature and to the divine for allowing this remarkable journey.
And when you are ready,
Slowly and gently open your eyes and take with you your mystical secret of rejuvenation.
Thank you for joining this meditation and may you carry this peace and energy with you throughout your day.
