Welcome to the meditation to lay your seeds.
Take this moment to embrace arranging your body in a position that will best suit you in going into the deepest realm of your meditation.
So take this moment to embrace that.
You can either lay down on your back,
Your spine splattered out into the ground,
Or laying onto your sit bones,
The spine reaching up and the shoulders falling away from you.
Choose whichever position you feel most comfortable in your body,
And gently allow heaviness through the eyelids,
Feeling the gentle motion of your breath.
Notice the way that you inhale and the way that you release the breath.
Become aware of that.
Allow your breath to get deeper and deeper.
Allow yourself to get deeper and deeper.
Find yourself surrounded by a garden.
Notice what you see in this garden.
Notice what plants,
Or vegetation,
Or herbs,
Or flowers that you see.
Take time here to look around.
Notice what's in blossom,
Or what's become rotten.
Just acknowledge all that you see in this very moment.
Notice how you feel emotionally as you look around.
Notice what you feel most attached towards,
And what you want to distance yourself from.
Just acknowledge that sensation.
Notice a garden bed with nothing but dirt.
No flowers,
No plants,
Or vegetation,
Or herbs.
Just an open space.
Notice amongst the gardens where it lays.
Take time to walk towards that empty garden bed.
Notice how you feel.
Kneel into the dirt.
Peel the dirt between the fingers.
Notice if the soil is moist or dry.
Become aware of that sensation.
Take a handful of seeds.
Notice that the seeds are in your right palm or your left.
Notice the number of seeds that are in your palm.
In each seed,
Inscribe the energy of your challenges as a writer.
Allow every seed to represent each challenge that you have.
Take this moment to acknowledge that.
To associate the energy of that challenge to each seed.
Slowing your breath deeply.
Slowly,
One by one,
Plant every seed into the garden bed.
Lay the dirt over,
And take time to nourish it with water.
As you do so,
Just acknowledge how you feel as you breathe.
As you plant these seeds into the ground,
Allowing your breath to move slowly and deeply.
Then grab hold of a seed.
With that single seed,
Allow yourself to represent a piece that is missing from your voice.
Take this time to represent that into the seed,
Noticing how you feel.
Then start to plant the seed into the ground.
Notice within the garden bed where you plant it.
Lay dirt over it and nourish it with water.
Just take this time to do that,
Noticing what feels within your body and within your emotions.
Then grab hold of some more seeds into your palm.
Notice if it's the right or left palm.
Within each seed,
Associate them with the five elements you need capacity for.
So take this moment to bring that association into those seeds,
Noticing how they feel within your body and your emotions.
Then take this moment to plant each seed into the ground.
Notice where in the garden bed that you plant them,
How it feels laying each side down,
Covering with dirt and nourishing with the water.
Notice how it makes you feel as you breathe.
Then grab hold of some more seeds,
Either in the left or right palm,
And associate the challenges you have with identifying your voice,
And take this time to place them in each seed,
Allowing the breath to move slowly and deeply.
Then take this moment to plant those seeds,
Noticing where you plant them,
Laying the dirt over them,
And nourishing them with water.
Notice that feeling.
Take in your time one by one.
Acknowledge how you feel in this moment,
With all that you have planted,
All that you have nourished and gave a home to.
Amongst this garden bed,
Allow yourself to either lie down or sit yourself comfortably.
Be amongst this garden bed.
Be amongst your goals,
And exist with it,
Allowing it to be a part of you.
Allow the breath to get heavier,
Filling back into your body with every exhale.
Become aware of movement as you wiggle through the toes or fingers,
The wrists or the ankles.
When you feel ready,
Gently awaken yourself back here,
In this moment.
