Welcome to the Ancient Forest Guided Meditation.
This guided meditation will help you release excess stress and tension,
Ground into your body,
And connect with the wisdom and healing power of a very special etheric place.
The Ancient Grove.
Trees are powerful,
Luminous beings who have an immense capacity to help us ground and heal if we approach them with respect and humility.
These beings are often hundreds,
Sometimes even thousands of years old.
They have devoted their lives to synthesizing pure,
Light energy.
Truly,
Trees are beautiful,
Ancient healers.
Before we begin,
I invite you to get comfortable in a position that will allow you to sink deeply into the meditation.
When the meditation is complete,
You will hear a bell chime to help you return to the present moment.
Welcome,
Beautiful beings.
As we begin this Ancient Forest Meditation,
I invite you to settle deeply into your body,
Placing your awareness in the deepest part of your belly.
Take long,
Deep,
Slow breaths,
Pulling the breath deep into your belly and feeling your stomach expand as you inhale.
As you inhale,
Intend that you are breathing in pure,
Divine light.
Feel it pouring in through the crown of your head,
Flowing through your being to the deepest part of your belly.
And as you exhale,
Feel it flowing down through your hips,
Your pelvis,
Your legs,
And out through the soles of your feet.
Breathe the light in through your crown,
Through your entire body,
And intend that it flow out through your feet.
Know that it is cleansing you of anything that no longer serves you in this moment.
Know that every cell and particle of your being is being purified and nourished by this divine light.
Picture yourself in a beautiful,
Peaceful meadow.
You know this place.
You've been here many times before.
This is a sacred and protected place,
A safe place.
As we begin our journey,
Know that you are surrounded by the love,
Protection,
And support of your higher power.
You are safe,
And you are held.
Take a moment now and notice your surroundings.
Breathe in the scent of the air.
Feel the earth between your toes and the sunlight on your skin.
Soak in the goodness of this place.
You lift your head and notice a beautiful path has opened up before you.
A shimmering light floats in the air,
Guiding you down the path and towards the sacred grove.
You step onto the path and begin to walk.
You arrive in the center of the sacred grove.
The trees in the grove are ancient,
Giant,
Dripping with moss.
You can feel a deep,
Powerful,
Yet gentle resonance that moves through your entire body as you stand in the grove.
It is the energy of the trees themselves.
They are welcoming you.
Words without words.
In the center of the grove there is a bed of the plushest,
Most inviting moss.
You make your way towards the moss,
Noticing the feeling of it springing beneath your feet,
The scent of cedar,
Pine,
And fresh green in the air,
And make yourself comfortable.
As you relax into the moss,
A transformation begins to occur.
You feel roots beginning to grow from the soles of your feet,
The base of your spine,
The palms of your hands.
You feel them easing and pushing into the earth,
Growing deeper into the warmth of the soil,
Connecting you deeper and deeper to the life force of the Mother of Gaia.
You breathe in the warm sunlight,
The sacred love and healing energy of this place.
And as you exhale,
You release pure light,
Love,
And healing into the earth.
You are connected.
You are rooted.
You are grounded.
Slowly,
Gently,
You begin to bring your awareness back to the bed of moss.
Your roots begin to retract and return back into your body.
See them fully retracted and disappearing back into your body now.
With a grateful heart,
You take one last,
Long,
Deep breath of the richly scented air,
Pulling the magic of this place and this experience into your very bones,
Knowing that you will keep the healing benefits of this journey inside of you forever.
The path has opened up before you again,
And you return once more,
Retracing your steps back to the meadow.
You may now open your eyes with a deep breath and a big smile.
Wiggle your fingers,
Wiggle your toes,
And return to the present moment.
Or,
You may choose to continue the meditation for several more minutes.
