This is Canada Meditates advanced guided meditation magical mystical garden.
Over the past decade a few of my college students have commented that they've had a little resistance to that feeling of letting go in guided meditations.
They held on to a belief that as they began to relax and go deeper they'd lose control.
But what they came to understand and you can easily understand too is that nothing will happen here for you unless you allow it.
You are always in control.
This belief of needing to hold on like so many other beliefs was formed when we were very young and even the beliefs and behaviors we don't like today were formed to protect us back at a time when we needed them and they stay even if we don't need them anymore.
So knowing you are always in control you can choose now to allow yourself to come along.
Just let this happen.
You can sink right down and enjoy this magical mystical experience.
Give yourself a moment to get comfortable and when you're ready look straight ahead as we begin.
Now lift only your eyes up as high as you can but keep your head still.
With your eyes slightly straining upward take a great big satisfying deep breath in all the way in and then close your eyes as you slowly breathe out.
Let's do that again.
Eyes open looking up breathing in feel the air fill your lungs right to the bottom.
Your ribs expand as you breathe in fully and gently close your eyes as you slowly breathe out.
Again looking up breathing in and slowly and easily breathe out as you close your eyes.
That's right just one more time breathing all the way in looking up and with a slow relaxing breath out keep your eyes closed now.
As you listen to the sound of my voice and the words I say you'll know that even sounds in the room are all working together to help you feel even more relaxed.
As you drift down even further every nerve and each muscle becomes more and more relaxed.
The muscles around your eyes,
Around your cheeks,
Your jaw,
Relaxing your tongue and as you notice you're not quite asleep but not quite awake either.
You can consider the number of times you've changed in your life.
You may not realize how talented you already are at making changes.
From the moment you were born you've adapted to your environment learning to walk and talk and perhaps ride a bike or swim and all the other skills that required you to grow and change in some way.
In school you probably changed classes every year,
Changed teachers,
Then schools and all the while gaining new friends and letting other friends go.
You've changed clothing styles along the way,
Hair styles,
Preferences for food and movies.
You can remember you're already experienced at making changes.
In a moment but not yet you'll begin to ride an escalator down to a wonderful place outside of time and space deep inside you.
As I count down from 10 you can imagine yourself at the top of the escalator.
10 stepping on now and beginning to feel the sensation of gliding down.
9 steeper than you might have imagined.
8 it's too far down to see the bottom yet.
7 drifting down you might sense or feel yourself holding the handrail as you keep gliding easily effortlessly down.
6 you see the deeper you go the better you feel and the better you feel the deeper you go.
5 further down 4 3.
At the bottom of the escalator which is just coming into view is a big ancient door.
On the count of one you will step off the escalator and open that door and find a mystical magical garden on the other side.
This is a place where you can make perfect positive lifestyle changes.
The garden is designed by your unconscious mind so that everything there is just right for you.
Whatever you create whether it's beautifully colored and fragrant flower beds open spaces or trees that cast dappled light on soft green shady grass below everything will be beautiful and welcoming.
2 as you continue to drift down further now and deeper seeing the door in front of you opening up to this experience.
1 open the door and walk through to your garden closing the door behind you.
Take a moment to let your senses absorb what you feel and see and hear.
Above you a crystal clear bright blue sky and you can imagine the warm sunshine on your skin.
Sense the fresh clean air the bright colors of the flowers and a soft gentle breeze just the way you like it.
You may choose to walk down the grassy path that gently invites you further into the garden.
There is a natural elegance to this place your garden made by you everything for you.
Here in this mystical magical garden you can make perfect positive changes in your life.
Here you can let go of any negative hidden emotions any images feelings thoughts sensations that you've held on to over the past few weeks or months or years and in a moment you will let them go.
Now just imagine seeing your hand in front of your face and see your fingers closing around a dozen or so strings attached to helium balloons.
The big balloons are straining to be set free to let go but your hand is holding on tightly.
We do sometimes hold on to old emotions and old beliefs even old pains that no longer serve us.
Look up at the balloons and see them pulling bouncing against each other ready to be launched.
Now look up past the balloons into the crystal clear cloudless deep blue sky.
You will have seen this sky hundreds of times in your life perhaps as a child on an early summer morning gazing up into the deep blue endless sky.
You can gather all these negative hidden emotions images feelings thoughts or sensations that you've held on to over the past weeks months or years and let them fill the balloons.
Allow the old and tired emotions that no longer serve you and any unnecessary ache or pain that you don't need any longer to fill the remaining balloons and you can get ready to let go of all of them.
On the count of three you can get ready to let go.
Bring your mind's eye to your hand with the strings and get ready to open your hand and watch them go.
One,
Two,
Three,
Release.
Watch the balloons lift off quickly rising into the sky bouncing and bumping as they climb higher and higher further and further.
See the small strings dangling as the balloons get smaller and smaller rising up into the beautiful blue sky.
Higher and higher still,
Lighter and lighter,
Further and further,
So small in the endless sky.
And when your balloons become pinpoints in the sky,
Just let them go.
Let them go.
Let go.
Imagine looking directly in front of you now.
You can see a beautiful tree bathed in sunlight,
Growing in your garden.
This tree's roots sink deeper into the ground than any other,
Making it secure,
Healthy,
And strong.
This is the tree of self-confidence growing in your garden.
With its branches stretching upward toward the sun in the clear blue sky,
There is nothing in the way,
Nothing to hold it back.
And this tree of self-confidence will continue to grow bigger and stronger in your garden every day from now on.
Nothing in the way,
Nothing to hold it back.
In a moment,
We'll begin to come back as I count to five.
And as you take a look around the garden,
Know that this place is always available to you.
As you,
One,
Feel relaxed and refreshed.
Two,
Integrating everything you need for perfect positive changes in your life.
Three,
A sensation of returning to this time and space.
Four,
Feeling refreshed and alert,
Energized and wonderful.
Five,
Eyes open,
Feeling better than before in every way.

Nice garden I imagined but just wish it had lasted a little longer down there or we had done abit more in our gardens. Loved the idea of letting go with the helium balloons though, just would be nice with abit more to do in there. Or maybe another magical mystery garden meditation with something else to do down there in our gardens? Blessings to you. I feel nice. π»ππ»
