Welcome to Find Yourself Meditations.
I'm Julie LaBritain.
I invite you to sit back and close your eyes as we relax our bodies and clear our minds in preparation for our journey.
Let's begin by taking three deep breaths,
Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Allow your body to relax more and more each time you breathe.
Breathing in healing love and light and breathing out all the stress and worry from your body.
As we continue to breathe,
We'll begin to focus on relaxing our bodies.
Let's start at our feet,
Focusing on your feet as you breathe.
Feel your feet relaxing.
Feel all the tension draining from your feet.
This feeling of relaxation continues up your legs and thighs as they begin to relax.
As you continue to breathe,
Focus on your lower back.
Feel it relax.
Breathing in and out,
Continue to relax your body.
Feel all the tension leave your upper back and shoulders.
Feel your arms and hands relax.
Feel your neck and your face relax.
Feel your whole body fully relax.
See yourself fully relaxed.
Now let's empty our minds.
As thoughts arise,
Think of them as leaves floating on a stream.
Allow them to slowly float away from you.
The thoughts become fewer and fewer until soon there are no more leaves.
Just clean,
Clear,
Flowing water.
You find yourself walking through a lush green forest.
Large ancient trees line the trail you walk.
You hear birds in the trees and smell the moss and fallen leaves blanketing the ground.
You take a deep breath,
Filling your body with the healing fragrance of the forest.
The sunlight sparkles in the air.
You feel connected and grounded to the planet as you walk.
You continue walking and soon hear the gentle music of a river ahead of you.
As the river comes into view,
You are amazed at its beauty.
It is not a large river.
It is only a few feet wide and a few feet deep.
But the water in it sparkles and shimmers with a magical beauty like nothing you have ever seen.
You walk closer and look down into the water.
To your amazement,
You see the bottom of the river is becoming deeper and deeper.
The water slowly starts to sink and you see there is a beautiful spiraling stone staircase inside the river.
The first step is just below the riverbank and you step down,
Feeling led to follow these stairs and see where they take you.
As you place your foot onto the first step,
The stone begins to glow.
Slowly you follow the steps down.
Each stone glows as you place your foot on it and faintly glows behind you as you step further and further down the steps.
As you reach the last step,
You look up above you.
The stairway that leads to the surface has a beautiful spiraling glow.
And then you take in your surroundings.
You are in a large and ornate room that appears to be a temple.
There are beautiful designs and symbols carved in the walls that glow in the dark stone surface.
The glow from the walls lights up the entire room.
You see that you are alone in this room,
But you feel that you have been expected today.
There is a fragrant bath in the middle of the room with steaming,
Shimmering water that holds all the colors of the rainbow.
Beside the bath,
There is a large wooden chair with a robe laid across it.
You undress and step into the bath.
The water washes over you,
Relaxing every muscle in your body.
You lean back,
Letting the water wash over your head.
Your mind clears of all worries and anxiety.
You lie back and float on the buoyant water and look up at the ceiling.
Instead of the stone surface you are expecting to see,
You see swirling stars of the galaxies above you.
The energy that flows down heals your soul and your spirit.
Take some time to enjoy the healing waters of this bath that were created just for you.
When you are ready,
You step from the water and put on the warm robe that is waiting you.
You slowly start up the stone staircase,
Its glowing spirals taking you to the surface.
Your body,
Your mind,
And your soul feeling rejuvenated and fully healed.
And now when you are ready,
Opening your eyes,
Feeling fully refreshed,
Healed,
And ready to take this beautiful energy with you out into the world.
