Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed.
Lie down or sit with your back straight and feet on the floor.
Make sure you are warm and comfortable.
Know that during this meditation you will be receiving the reiki energy.
Be open to this.
Close your eyes and bring awareness to your breath.
Slow down your breath.
Six counts in.
And six counts out.
Now fully release your body into whatever is holding you.
Really sink into this.
Become loose,
Limp,
Soft.
Let go of any tension you are holding onto.
Let it flow out of you like honey,
Melting down into the ground.
With every in breath you are bringing peace and calmness into your body.
And with every out breath you are releasing anything that you are still carrying,
All the fear,
Stress and anxiety are drifting away.
Now begin to feel into the edges of your being,
Beyond your skin.
Your body extends from your physical body.
This is your energetic field.
Feel into this.
Where does it end?
Where does it begin?
Feel it merging with the Earth's energy,
The energy that supports and nurtures you.
Feel the Earth's pulsating energy keeping you safe and secure.
It is always here for you,
Holding you,
Carrying you,
Keeping you rooted and grounded.
Now bring your awareness to the air above you.
Feel the expansiveness of this.
The softness of touch as the air glides over your skin.
Feel the expansiveness of all that is above you.
This energy is always here for you,
Lifting you up,
Bringing you peace and calmness.
Now feel both the energies of the Earth and sky blending in your body.
You feel it in your heart.
This is the centre of your being.
The universe starts and ends here.
The energy of the universe is here in your heart,
Building and growing into a beautiful golden light that is now flowing through your body,
Shifting and releasing any tightness.
In your heart it clears and softens.
Feel the pulsating light and with every breath the golden light releases you deeper and deeper into relaxation.
The golden light now enters your mind and all your thoughts become peaceful and bright.
Your mind is relaxed.
The light now shifts to your core and it grows warmer and it grows bigger,
Expanding outwards into your aura.
The golden light now surrounds you,
A warm glow that is inside you and outside of you.
Feel the pulsating energy.
It is warming you,
Keeping you safe and secure.
It is protecting you.
You are light.
You are warmth.
You are love.
The light continues to glow from within.
Know that this energy is always here for you when you need.
All you have to do is be open to it and know it is there.
Now as this light begins to dim,
The energy is still with you.
You are warm.
You are safe.
And you are secure.
Feelings of peace and calm are still with you.
Bring awareness back to your physical body.
Know that you are home and you are safe and you are grounded.
You can wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
And when you are ready you can open your eyes.
