This is a healing with Jude meditation.
Mindfulness Mountain Meditation.
Start by sitting comfortably,
Taking a moment to ground and center yourself.
Bring awareness to your breath and how at each breathe in and breathe out,
Your body changes and becomes one.
Just be with the breath,
With the sounds,
With the touching points,
Or with the loving kindness phrases.
And now visualize a majestic mountain,
Either one that you have seen or one that you created with your imagination.
It can be alone or part of a mountain range.
This mountain changes,
Of course,
Like all things,
But it changes slowly in geologic time.
Imagine your body becoming like the mountain,
Grounded,
Solid,
Still.
Let the legs be the base,
The arms and shoulders,
The slopes,
The spine,
The axis,
And the head,
The peak.
Allow yourself to become centered,
Grounded,
And present.
Visualize the mountain as the seasons begin to change.
See it in autumn,
Surrounded by golden warm light and brilliant colors.
And gradually autumn gives way to winter,
And the mountain is assaulted by intense and violent weather,
By fog,
Snow,
And ice.
But notice how the mountain remains still,
Quiet,
And steady through the storms.
Watch as the seasons flow into each other.
In spring,
The snow melts,
Birds sing,
And animals return.
Wild flowers sprout and bloom,
And the mountain streams overflow with the melting snow.
And now visualize the mountain in summer.
Bathe it in light,
Quiet,
Solid,
And majestic.
Except from the highest peaks,
The snow is gone.
In every season,
Clouds cover the mountains and then blow away.
Storms arise,
Suddenly,
And pass.
See the mountain through the course of a day,
Beginning with the rosy hues of dawn,
Then the clear light of morning,
The deep golden light and shadows of afternoon.
Watch as the day gives away to the rich colors of sunset,
And finally to the dark night sky filled with stars and galaxies,
Endless space across the vast clear heavens.
See if you can sit like the mountain,
Still and grounded,
Through the changes of weather,
Time,
And seasons,
Allowing day and night to come and to go,
Accepting change and not resisting it.

Take these qualities into your day,
Allowing the weather and seasons of life to come and to go.
Feel yourself being present,
Rooted,
Centered,
And still,
Unmoved by storms,
Wind,
Cold,
Rain,
Heat,
Moments of darkness and light,
Joy and sorrow.
Let life continue to unfold around you,
Because you are like that mountain,
Solid,
Still and grounded,
Through any changes and experiences we live in our life.
And when you're ready,
Place your hands on your heart,
And express gratitude,
Love,
Stillness inside of you,
Because you are power,
You are love,
And you are energy.
And when you're ready,
Just slowly open your eyes,
Allowing the lights around you,
Warmth your heart,
Your emotions,
Your feelings.
Namaste.
