Hello,

This is Jenny.

Welcome to your spring clean meditation.

We're working on letting go of all of those extraneous attachments,

Those impediments from the past that have kept you down,

That have been your mode of operation,

Perhaps in various relationships in life,

But they no longer serve.

The meditation is on thinking of the spine as a shaft of light and in yogic terms this is termed as the brahmanadi or the pathway to God.

So we're taking our attention into that shaft of the spine,

Perhaps visualizing it like a lift shaft,

An elevator shaft that goes up into the highest vibrational state in this body which is in the head,

In the crown chakra above the head and then we have our lower vibrations as we travel down through the lift shaft.

So the meditation today is on taking ourselves into the lowest chakra,

Miladhara,

The base chakra,

Where we're doing a big spring clean,

Letting go of all those attachments to things from the past.

In the past there may have been childhood traumas or instances that you have allowed to color and define how you view the world.

It's like a screen that comes up and that you view the world through that color,

That screen based on these experiences,

But what if those screens that you place are not real?

What if the experience itself cannot and never did harm you?

You simply allowed yourself to be attached to that experience.

Well today we're letting go of all manner of experiences that no longer serve by creating a screen between who we are and how we view the world and how we interact with it.

So our meditation is on doing a good old spring clean,

Getting the feather duster out,

Singing a jolly song and clearing out all manner of debris from the basement.

So we're going to prepare by viewing ourselves as we are.

There is the world,

Which includes the body,

But that is not you.

You are a shining light,

A being of light that beams down into this temporal world,

Inhabits a body that perfectly fits what you need to know to learn who you are for this life,

And then the body is shed,

Much like shedding a coat and donning another one.

With all of that transitory nature of the world and the body,

Try and view everything from that objective perspective,

And the story of your life,

X,

Y and Z happened,

But they cannot touch you as the being of light,

This quintessential essence of the soul that you are,

That none of that has actually harmed or touched you and you're still as perfect and as beautiful,

Irrespective of whatever experiences were presented to you in this body,

In this life.

None of those have harmed you.

So with that in mind,

I just like you to close your eyes,

Take a deep breath in,

Tense the whole body,

And sigh out,

Blowing away the cobwebs from the physical body.

We're going to do that once more,

Breathing in,

Tense the whole body,

Clenching of the fists and then breathing out,

Breathing out the cobwebs away from the mind.

Visualise that your mind is clear,

Like a whiteboard that has been wiped of all patterns,

Of all wordings,

Of all phraseologies,

Just cleared.

You might like to visualise that you're taking that duster,

That cloth,

And wiping the board clear.

One more time,

Breathing in,

Tense the whole body,

And this time it's the space around the body,

The auric field,

Breathing out,

Blow through that,

In all directions,

Just letting go of anything extraneous.

And then be aware that the body is sitting upright.

You have a connection with the tailbone on your left,

You have a connection with the tailbone onto the seat that you're sitting on,

And that you have a straight spine travelling up the back of the body,

Up the neck,

Through the head,

Toward the crown of the head.

I'd like you to imagine that you were being suspended by one hair on the crown of your head that lifts you into an elevated straight spine,

Visualising that there is a golden light above your head,

As warm and as inviting as the sun,

And bathing your body,

Your mind,

Your spirit,

In this golden light.

Golden light that washes down the back of the body,

The front,

The sides,

But more importantly through the body,

As if the body were just a hollow outline,

A pixelated outline of a physical form,

Washing through,

Cleansing through every organ,

Through the bloodstream,

Through the bones,

Within the skin,

Every area,

Every cell of the body being cleansed,

All manner of toxins washing out of the body,

Down through the tailbone,

And with roots growing down into the earth,

Just letting go of all that extraneous stuff,

Physical,

Mental,

Emotional toxins,

All just washing away.

Just keep your attention on that golden light washing over and through the body.

It can be helpful to imagine that you are standing in a shower and that it is golden water,

Water that washes over the surface of the skin,

But also through the hollow body itself,

Washing away down through the tailbone and into the earth.

Staying with this awareness of cleansing inside and out for another few moments.

Allowing your awareness to be in the letting go,

Into the releasing of attachment,

Into the possibilities of this moment being fresh,

Being new,

And this moment there is a release of the old,

The past,

Without dwelling on what that past might have been.

It no longer defines who you are,

It never defined who you are.

Cleansing inside and out.

And then visualizing that that golden light is now shining down the shaft of the spine,

That the spine is a hollow tube,

Much like an elevator shaft,

And that the golden light shines down in this golden shaft of light,

Through the head,

The neck,

And down through the spine till it arrives at the tailbone.

Golden light.

Shining down through this elevator shaft.

And imagine that you are sitting in your little Buddha cross-legged posture,

That you are sitting in the head.

You're sitting in this golden shaft of light.

If you look up,

You can see this golden light above the head,

More beautiful and vibrant than the sun.

And if you look down,

You can see there is this elevator shaft of light,

Criss-crossed with the colors of the chakras themselves.

So there is the pale blue at the throat level,

Green of the heart,

Yellow of the navel,

Orange of the sacrum,

And red of the base of the heart.

And red of the base chakra.

Visualize yourself,

Your little Buddha self,

Sitting cross-legged,

Peaceful,

Calm,

And surrounded in a golden bubble of light.

So your little Buddha self is in a sphere of golden light,

Traveling down to the level of the throat in the shaft of light of the spine,

Passing through pale blue light in your bubble of light,

Down through the heart level,

Passing through balancing green light in your bubble of light,

Moving down to the level of the navel in the spine,

Passing through yellow sunlight,

Moving down to the level of the sacrum in the spine,

Passing through orange vibrant light in your bubble of light,

Until the elevator comes down into the base chakra,

Where in front of you,

You can see there is a cellar door.

The door is well oiled.

The cellar door opens,

And inside the room,

You can see that it is packed full of all manner of things.

Boxes of things from your past,

Maybe a rusty bike.

It could be all manner of things.

So swinging wide on the door,

Stepping into your basement room,

Start to take each item out into the sunlight,

Into the sunlight of spirit.

As you bring it out,

Without deliberating on whether this item had a story attached to it,

Just bring it out into the sunlight of spirit,

Where it instantly dissolves.

It becomes motes of light and disappears.

Again,

Repeating,

Going back into the cellar,

Taking out item after item,

Until the room is clear,

Until there's nothing left in the corners,

And each item has been dissolved in spiritual sunlight.

And then coming back into your basement room,

Your cellar,

With a bucket,

With a mop,

And cleaning into every corner.

Clean the floor,

Clean the walls,

Clean the ceiling.

Again and again,

Washing and cleaning fresh water,

Fresh pure clean water,

Washing every square inch of your basement room,

Until the walls become white,

The ceiling is white,

And the floor is restored to white.

And then coming out of your basement room,

Closing the door once more,

Closing the door once more,

And let yourself stand to be cleansed in the shaft of spiritual sunlight,

Cleansed head to foot,

Washing away any trace of grime from your hands and from your spirit,

Cleansed in a golden shower of light.

And then visualizing that you're stepping out of that golden shower of light and moving into a second shower,

And this one is a rainbow shower,

With little sparkles of rainbow colored light,

Cleansing memory,

Cleansing attachment,

Cleansing all manner from the past,

Little green sparkles,

Yellow,

Iridescent pink,

Purple greens,

Blues,

Silver sparkles,

Rainbow colored sparkles like opal,

All manner of color shining through your body in a ray of rainbow light,

Cleansing inside and out.

Just keep standing in that rainbow shower of light until you can feel that your spine is clear,

The back of the body is clear,

The front of the body is clear,

The left is clear,

The right is clear,

And the inside is hollow.

It's filled with sparkles of light,

Filled with sparkles of light,

Down into the feet,

The torso,

The hands,

The neck,

The eyes,

The head,

That you are cleansed inside and out.

And then stepping out of that shower of rainbow colored light,

Stepping back into the shaft of golden light,

Assuming your little Buddha pose,

Sitting cross legged,

Smiling in the spiritual sunlight,

As you start to rise once more,

Moving upwards in the elevator shaft through orange light,

Yellow light,

Green light,

Pale blue light,

Until you're back in the head,

Noticing how clean,

How clear you feel,

How awake,

How happy,

How peaceful,

How joyous you feel.

The past is behind you,

It never had any power over you,

And the future is bright,

Noticing that the body is breathing,

Starting to move fingers,

Moving toes,

Coming back into the present moment,

Blinking open the eyes and noticing how bright the room seems.

Everything has changed as you have been washed clear of the screen of the old,

And you now see things with fresh eyes,

Rubbing the hands together to create a warmth in the hands,

Cupping the hands over the closed eyes,

Allow the warmth from the hands to travel into the optic nerves and into the brain,

Celebrating the clarity of vision that you now have,

And blinking open the eyes,

Just taking away the hands,

And we'll finish today with a prayer.

Heavenly Father,

Shine thy glorious sunshine upon me.

Let me know that in every moment that you are shining your light,

Your love,

Your peace upon me and within me.

Om shanti shanti shanti.

Namaste everybody.
