Parts of this world we can only visit within our own imagination.
And a select few have the extraordinary opportunity to make those dreams a reality.
Here we explore the depths of the ocean,
The light and dark,
Warm and cold places that host the most magnificent creatures on earth.
Sit back and relax for your guided journey today.
As you breathe,
Begin to lengthen the breath and draw it deep down into the belly.
Let go of any tension and let stiffness release,
Heaviness fade.
Take some time to draw in a sense of lightness,
Allowing yourself to feel buoyant and simply float within that space.
Feel the fluidity of the breath carry you into the depths of the ocean.
The sunlight reflects on the surface of the water above.
Gentle ripples wave over your head.
You can safely move down further and further to settle into a beautiful reef.
There is amazing coral all around,
Spanning every magnificent color of the rainbow.
The sea all seem to shimmer from the light coming down from above.
They dance and glide,
Carrying the pulse of the ocean within themselves.
It's peaceful and serene.
You take some time to simply be present and see what's around you.
The bowls of fish move in unison,
Dancing to and fro.
It's very quiet where you are.
Bubbles float around you and journey towards the light with a calm ascension.
You begin to carry that rhythm of the ocean within yourself and feel at one with the magnificence around you.
Your breath moves freely.
Eyes adjust to see something approaching in the distance.
A sea turtle moves towards you.
Not in curiosity,
But to swim and share in this beautiful space with you.
Their shell seems iridescent and their eyes are kind as they offer a tender nod and continue on.
You decide to journey a bit deeper,
Leaving the reef and swimming into the vast ocean.
The warmth of the water seems more cool as you go deeper and away from any wildlife.
You are in this free and fluid space,
Swimming and floating.
There is still light above you.
And as you look beneath you,
You can see the darkness of the depths below.
Take some time to reside in the quiet,
Peaceful space.
Find a place of absolute silence,
Serenity,
And calm.
You begin to sense movement in the distance.
And you see a small shadow beginning to approach.
As the shadow gets bigger and more immense,
You realize it's a massive blue whale coming to share this space with you.
The gentle giant comes to pause before you.
Her eye,
Larger than your body,
Meets your eyes kindly.
You reach out to touch her skin,
Smooth in some spots,
Rough in others.
She is cool to the touch and carries that pulse and familiar rhythm.
You glide all the way down to find a spot to hold on,
And she brings you along the ocean on her back.
Feel the water move smoothly over you.
The massive power of the whale carries you gently.
When your time together has ended,
You release her.
Her giant tail swooshes up towards the surface of the water,
Carrying you with it.
The light growing brighter,
You feel the crisp air hit your lungs as you break through the surface of the water.
The sky is brilliant with colors of yellow,
Orange,
And red as the sun begins to fade down towards the horizon.
You still feel that pulse and gentle calm of the ocean within yourself,
And carry that sense of peace with you wherever you go.
Come back fully into your body,
Wiggle the fingers,
Wiggle the toes,
And close your meditation with a deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Musings for your meditation today.
How does it make you feel to be in a space so vast and so inaccessible to most people?
How does being in the depths of the ocean,
Surrounded by its creatures,
Make you feel?
What can you do to help these creatures and ensure their safety and the preservation of the beauty of our oceans?
How can you regularly connect with this sense of peace and tranquility and bring it into your day?
Have a magical and wonderful day.
Namaste.
