Hello,
Loved ones.
Welcome to this self-love water meditation.
Take a moment,
Get comfortable,
Maybe lying down on your bed or a mat on the floor,
And close your eyes.
You could even use an eye pillow for a little extra soothing touch.
And as you settle,
Take one full deep breath in and remember as you exhale that in these next few moments there is nothing that you need to achieve.
There is nothing that you need to make happen.
And there is no one that you need to be,
But whoever you are right now.
So before we let the water come wash over you,
Try to imagine a color,
A hue radiating all around you.
And depending on your emotions of the moment,
The color might vary.
If you're feeling envious of others or worried about money,
You can choose green.
If you're feeling sad or lacking confidence,
Choose blue.
If you feel anger,
Choose red.
If you have feelings of frustration or overwhelm,
Choose purple.
And if you're experiencing fear or a sense of being overpowered,
Choose black.
I'll give you a moment,
You can use any of these suggestions or whatever comes innately to you.
And now,
As you visualize that color,
Fully vibrant,
Radiating around you,
Housing all those emotions,
You'll have an opportunity to let the water wash over you and clear the color away,
Cleansing you of the feelings that no longer serve a purpose,
The feelings that have been holding you back.
Just let the emotions wash away.
Feel the water as it passes over your whole body,
Cascading around your head,
Your shoulders,
Hips,
Legs,
And feet.
Feel the water easily and swiftly dissolving the color away,
Away from your body and downstream.
We're gonna go into a little body awareness and part by part,
You will relax the body and we will uncover such a safety in this water.
We'll feel it nurture you and support you as it flows around,
Paying special attention to the top of your head,
The tip of your nose,
Each ear,
To your lips,
And your chin.
Feel the water as it passes your neck,
Your collarbone,
The right side of your chest,
And the right side of your waist.
Feel it on your shoulder,
Passing the right arm,
Your right elbow,
And your right wrist.
Notice how the water feels on your thumb,
Pointer,
Middle finger,
Ring finger,
And little finger.
And trace that sensation all the way up to your left shoulder,
Passing down your arm to your left elbow,
To your left wrist,
Feeling the sensation on your left thumb,
Pointer,
Middle finger,
Ring finger,
And little finger.
And again,
Bringing that sensation all the way back up through your chest,
Into your belly,
And feeling the water cascade over your hips,
Touching your legs,
Through your knees,
Your calves,
Both ankles,
Into your toes.
Feel yourself heavier and heavier,
Trusting the earth below you,
Feeling supported by the water.
By now,
That aura of color is sure to be dissolved.
It is now time to welcome the water and let it fill you with a deep love and deep appreciation.
This clear,
Pure water can nurture your heavy head.
Feel it glide over your hands that serve you and those you love.
Feel it supporting your back and shoulders that give you your posture,
The ability to stand tall in all the roles you play.
Feel the water as it flows past you,
Infusing you with the tiny particles of earth's nutrients,
Mother earth's love and sustenance.
Let those particles take up the space in place of that color,
That old emotion that was muting your true self.
Feel yourself filling up with more support,
More confidence,
More assurance,
A feeling of full,
A feeling of enough.
And as these particles fill in the spaces and crevices all throughout your body,
Think about yourself.
What do you love about your body?
And what about your personal attributes,
Your strengths?
If it's easier,
Think about what others say about you,
But focus on your strengths.
What can you acknowledge today?
And what are you most proud of today?
What growth,
What awareness or progress do you feel good about?
And as the water continues to flow around you,
Say thank you three times in your head or out loud to solidify this appreciation of self.
Thank the water for brushing away anything that no longer serves you,
While also filling in the spaces and places throughout your body that needed a little extra support and acknowledgement.
Take a few more deep breaths here in the support of nature,
In the support of Mother Earth.
May you feel strong,
May you feel capable,
May you feel refreshed for the remainder of your day.
Namaste,
Loved ones.
