Welcome to this guided meditation.
Find a comfortable position,
Either sitting or lying down,
And when you're ready,
Gently close your eyes.
Feel the weight of your body sink into the surface that supports it.
Let the tension roll off your body and dissolve.
First,
We'll ground ourselves in the Earth's energy.
Take a deep breath in through your nose,
Feeling the air fill your lungs,
And slowly exhale through your mouth.
Continue this pattern,
And as you do,
Imagine roots extending from the soles of your feet,
Reaching deep into the Earth.
Feel the stability and support of the ground beneath you.
And,
With each breath,
Draw up the Earth's anchoring energy of the ages.
Breathe normally and comfortably,
And now that we are grounded downward,
Let's focus upward,
And open a connection to higher consciousness.
To do this,
Continue mindful breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.
As you do,
Visualize a beam of the most beautiful violet light extending from the top of your head upward.
It spirals into the sky,
Past the clouds,
And ever higher,
Where it meets and combines with the purest,
Most soothing white divine light energy.
This connects you to the Universe's infinite wisdom.
You have now become a channel between Earth and sky,
Between the finite and the infinite,
Anchored in both realms.
Take a few more calming breaths.
Inhale deeply through the nose,
Hold for a moment,
And exhale slowly through the mouth.
Continue this for a few cycles,
And with each breath,
Allow any tension or stress or strife to melt away and disappear.
Notice how you begin to feel more relaxed and at peace as you focus on this present moment.
Now,
Imagine yourself in a beautiful,
Serene meadow at sunrise on the side of a mountain in springtime.
The air is fresh and crisp,
Filled with the scent of blooming flowers.
As you look around in your mind's eye,
You marvel at the wonder of this natural setting,
And you see ahead of you a portal of light and vibrating energy.
The frame of the portal is made of material that looks like it is from another world,
Another time,
With masterful carving along its edges.
They are figures you do not recognize,
Similar to Egyptian hieroglyphics,
Yet also somehow different.
You know that their origin is otherworldly,
Yet you also know that what awaits you is perfectly safe.
The portal calls to you and draws you near.
As you slowly and gently enter its frame,
Your entire body is enveloped in a warm,
Healing energy like being wrapped in a loving embrace.
Instantly,
You feel your body begin to tingle and every one of your muscles relax.
Slowly and gently,
Your arms magically transform to sturdy,
Feathered wings.
You look down to see your legs and feet become mighty talons,
And you realize that the mystical portal has safely transformed you into a strong,
Powerful,
Majestic eagle.
You are safe and comfortable in your new avian body and begin to slowly flap your wings as you marvel at their massive spread and energy.
Within seconds,
You are airborne,
Soaring upward with each flap of your wings.
You feel the breezes get cooler across your feathers as you glide higher and higher,
Lifted by the upward winds.
At the same time,
The brightening morning sun warms your body and provides a feeling of peace and tranquility.
And as you soar ever higher,
You see the sunrise from a viewpoint that few have enjoyed.
Notice the vibrant lines of color as the sun rises up from behind the distant mountains.
Depth of colors like you have never seen,
Red,
Orange,
Purple,
And blue augmented by softer pastel hues formed by the refraction of sunlight through the wispy morning mist.
Another powerful flap of your wings and you are high enough to see for miles in every direction.
At this height,
The tall grasses that were blowing in the meadow now look like almost invisible seedlings.
The giant millennia-old rocks that pepper the field appear as small pebbles cast by nature onto the ground.
You veer to the east and head toward the coast,
Watching the soft foam form on the white-capped waves as they lap the shore.
Another flap of your mighty wings and you glide out over the water,
Noticing a pod of whales choreographing their dance before breakfast.
You angle northward and see dolphins playfully jumping in arcs out of the water and then back in,
Over and over again,
In a beautifully orchestrated natural rhythm.
As you soar,
The smell of the salt ocean water makes its way up to your nostrils and you inhale deeply,
Almost as if fueling your journey.
As the sun rises higher into the sky,
You realize that it is time to return to the meadow and to the portal where this mystical journey began.
Over to the west you head,
Gliding peacefully on the air currents that carry you.
You see the portal in the distance and head directly for it.
You masterfully glide softly and perfectly to a landing in the grasses that once again appear tall.
You give your wings one last shake and fold them comfortably at your side as you walk back gently through the portal.
You feel the same warmth embrace you and as you emerge you are back to your human form,
Yet changed in other ways.
You are profoundly more relaxed and at peace owing to the amazing experience of which you were just a part.
You realize that whatever stress or anxiety you had at the start have dissolved away,
Rolling off the wings of that wondrous eagle you became.
As we begin to return to our physical surroundings,
Take a few deep,
Comfortable breaths.
Roll your shoulders and let them fall naturally to your sides.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
And when you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
Reacquaint yourself with your physical surroundings.
And know that this unique experience is now yours forever.
Remember it and how it made you feel.
Give thanks for it and try to carry the peace and tranquility and wonder that you experienced with you always.
Thank you for joining.
