Hello, My name is Eden and I am a therapist, Reiki teacher, And meditation guide. Now whether you've found this meditation through one of my Reiki courses or just through the web of life, Welcome. These meditations are intended to deepen your relationship to your intuition and gifts, And facilitate an understanding of your own internal landscape. Each meditation is also a tool that can be offered to yourself or a client, So I invite you to notice what shifts within you before, During, After, Beyond the meditation, Cataloging the effects with words and feelings and sensations. Just letting yourself take note. Allow it to be personal and universal. Let's begin. Wherever you are, Just finding a tall spine and a relaxed yet supported body. Today, We're going to do a little bit of a mental visual experiment. I will be asking you to picture yourself as different things. Imagine what it would feel like to be those things. This is just a moment of curiosity, To notice what comes through quite easily, And what feels a little more difficult to do or picture or embody, As one more way to just get to know yourself and what moves through you most easily. And so we just take a few cleansing breaths here in through the nose, And sigh it out the mouth. Two more just like that. Last one. And shoulders move away from the ears, The palms relax, The jaw releases, And you let any tiny little muscles in the hips just gently unwind. We know that all things in life can be distilled down into vibration. All things are energy, Vibrating at different frequencies. That's what makes something physical or felt or anything in between, Different vibrations. And you too are a physical manifestation of vibration. You, In quantum physics terms, Are vibration, Miraculously put together in such a way where you are human. So just starting to soften your mind, Maybe imagining that your mind gently moves down into your heart, And you consider moving forward from this space. And as your mind now just exists in your heart, Can you just start to notice the gentle vibration of your body? Maybe you just notice the breath, Your heartbeat, Maybe feeling your heartbeat in your extremities too. Maybe you soften your awareness so much that you just feel a gentle energy of blood and breath flowing through your body all at once. And maybe this is your vibration. Or maybe you notice something even deeper, More cellular, Just a vibration of life. Can you just notice what it actually feels like to be alive in your body? Let it be simple, Let it be true, Let it be whatever is right here. And maybe, Just maybe, You start to imagine that this barrier of skin between you and the world just starts to fade away, Or begins to just not be so overt. Maybe you put your awareness just beyond the tip of your nose, Noticing you can sense the space, The air, Right there too, Not on your skin. Maybe you just let your mind rest, Noticing the body follows suit. And maybe you notice something within you just gently opening, As your awareness widens beyond your physical body. You are in relation to the world around you always. And now for a little imaginal experiment. Starting to invite in the idea that you are a wave, Or a ripple. And the energy that you exude into the world around you moves from you into the world through this wave, This ripple. Just imagining what that might look like, Seeing it in your mind's eye, Maybe asking yourself what would it feel like to be a ripple, And letting your mind just create that reality through a felt sense, Letting yourself ripple out into the world. And maybe, Just maybe, You start to see this rippling moving in all different directions now, Moving far beyond this room, This space, Far beyond what you can even imagine, Letting yourself ripple out even further, Even further, Just dissolving into the world around you, Just like a ripple that eventually becomes smooth water yet again as it rejoins a lake, Its larger self. You are that too. You are an energetic center point. And you are everything around you. Your energy interacts with all, As all does to you, Letting all of these energies interweave, Finding resonance, Maybe imagine that you dissolve into the space around you, Letting your awareness grow larger than this body, Larger than this room, Even further, Even further. Can you soften and open? Letting it just be a little personal experiment. You are a wave into the whole ocean. You are the ripple into the lake. So hum, I am, Allowing yourself to dissolve. And then slowly, Gently turning your awareness back into your breath, Remembering that there is a beautiful body right here, Holding your physical manifestation of vibration all together. Taking a deep breath in and out of the body, Noticing how the body shifts in relation to the breath to accommodate this life. Thanking yourself for prioritizing you and for allowing yourself to soften to the entire world beyond you. And whenever you're ready to rejoin the day, You can gently blink your eyes open. Welcome back.
