Transcript

Hey there,

This is Jen with Laughing Lotus Wellness.

Welcome to our meditation practice.

So I want to welcome you into our meditation for today.

Reflect,

Taking time to pause.

We're going to take a little bit of a journey here,

Combining some visualization.

So I invite you to really tap into your imagination today.

And then we're also going to do a sound healing.

And so I invite you to get really comfortable,

Either seated or lying down,

Beginning to deepen and lengthen the breath,

Making adjustments to be as comfortable as possible.

And I'd like to invite you to imagine setting an intention or sort of a spiritual journey for yourself for your practice.

And so you can either create your own intention or use the sankalpa I've created for us today.

And we repeat that three times to send it through the layers of our being.

And the sankalpa is this.

I am grateful to take time to pause and reflect,

Listening to my inner knowing to lead the way for my soul journey.

I am grateful to take time to pause and reflect,

Listening to my inner knowing to lead the way for my soul journey.

And last time here,

I'm grateful to take time to pause and reflect,

Listening to my inner knowing to lead the way for my soul journey.

And so in this space,

Really taking the time to give yourself permission to go deeply inward this next little bit.

And I invite you to imagine that you are on a journey,

Traveling somewhere to have a really amazing experience and you are going to go to a spa.

And this spa has a mudroom,

A mud bath available to you.

And what you're going to do is imagine being in your swimsuit,

Your swim trunks,

Whatever it is that's comfortable to you.

And you're going to imagine that you have this beautiful luxurious robe on to head down and you're going to head down.

It's going to feel kind of caverny,

Dark but beautifully lit.

The sense of it is warm and healing.

You might smell like the smells of a spa,

Right?

So you might notice some essential oil smells,

Some lavender,

Things that are really calming to the senses,

Some chamomile.

There's a sense of something very organic and beautiful in this space.

And so walking down the steps,

Being guided and by yourself here,

Completely on your own,

Taking this time to rejuvenate your mind,

Body and soul.

And imagine taking a journey through the various types of elemental pieces of nature that garner healing for us.

And so you notice that there's this bath,

Again,

Dimly lit,

Beautiful space.

You slowly take your time stepping down into this brown,

Earthy mud.

But it's soft and soothing.

It's warm and cozy.

And I invite you to imagine that you can take and put that mud up on your arms,

Right?

It can be as deep as you are comfortable.

It could be just at your waist.

It could be up to your chest.

But I invite you to sort of take and cleanse yourself in this first layer,

In this layer of the things surrounding you,

The purpose of your being here.

Taking a moment in this space to allow any releasing to happen in that outer layer,

The energy of that outermost space around you,

Creating a clearing.

You put it on your face and your hair,

Right?

It's so good for you,

This entire experience.

Super healing.

Again,

Warm and cozy.

And pressing forward,

It's gonna take a little bit of effort to walk,

Right?

Because it's not just water.

And taking some time to just press forward,

And you sense that there's almost like a gate.

And so as you get up,

That gate will create space for you to come through and move on into this next cavern,

Into this next beautiful space.

And in that space is a rich,

Red soil,

The four corners of the US.

That's Utah,

Arizona,

Mexico,

Nevada.

It's this beautiful,

Deep red.

And so now taking a moment in that space,

In that root chakra center,

And allowing any healing in,

Releasing out anything not to the highest good impurities,

Any discomfort pain,

Disconnect.

This is that space of belonging,

Safety,

And security.

And inviting in that release that this is being transmuted,

That Mother Earth is literally surrounding you to take and transmute that experience to release and let go.

Again,

Using that mud as you see fit if that's up the arms,

The neck,

The face,

Whatever you're needing,

Knowing that you can leave whatever is unnecessary in this space.

And each time you move through one of these gates,

Really leaving any sense of holding and gripping behind,

Right?

So check yourself in each gate that you're really intentional about releasing.

This is like that pause.

It's this beautiful space to reflect and take this time.

And I invite you to really listen to the intuition.

So as you're moving through these gates and as you're moving through the spa and you're cleansing yourself,

What is coming up for you?

Really listening,

Leaning in with those internal ears,

Seeing what's coming up for you.

Are there themes of the things you keep seeing and experiencing that you need to let go of?

And each gate that we walk through,

We're going to release a little more every single time.

And by the end,

I want it to be this brilliant experience of almost floating forward.

And so again,

Beginning to move forward now through that beautiful,

Rich,

Red soil,

That beautiful mud,

Taking your time and noticing the smells,

Whatever's around you,

Taking that in your mind,

Moving up to that gate,

And then pressing through that gate into a beautiful orange beautiful,

Organic mud bath of almost completely orange soil.

And pressing into that,

Having this sense of being again,

Once again,

Surrounded in warmth,

Nourishment,

Right?

This is nourishing your skin and your soul.

Whatever way you need,

Using that soil to put it on your arms,

Your shoulders,

Chest,

Face,

Even in your hair.

And sensing that Mother Earth is holding space for this.

She's willing to take any impurities,

Anything that's not serving,

And recycle it for you.

And in this space of creativity and sensuality,

Emotion,

You're just allowing this healing to take place.

Noticing anything intuitively that might come forward for you.

And if it doesn't just receive the gift of the earth.

And pressing forward as you slog your way through this mud bath out to the next gate and pressing through that gently into this incredible gold soil.

Just like in Yellowstone National Park,

Right?

Our own geysers can imagine there's this really deeply warm soil surrounding you.

Maybe a little bit warmer yet.

Again,

Taking in that healing,

The nourishment.

Noticing what's around you.

Reflecting.

And taking that healing inward.

Reflecting in this journey of each state of your being.

And this energy center is about confidence and willpower.

And anything that might not be serving you.

Thoughts or experiences again,

Allowing that to come out through the skin and that warmth of the mud to be taken and recycled by Mother Earth.

Almost imagining a glow in this space.

This earth,

This mud is so beautiful and gold.

It has almost a sheen to it.

And again,

Rubbing that on your arms,

Your face,

Your neck.

Allowing yourself to have that deep connection to earth that's literally surrounding you.

And moving forward step by step,

Working your way up to the next gate.

And gently pressing through into this beautiful,

Earthy green mud.

And this earth from Italy is a beautiful green.

Surrounding you in healing light and love.

Taking in that nourishment.

Again,

Reflecting.

What is it in that heart?

As I look inward,

What needs to happen?

For me to step into this next best version of myself.

What do I need to release?

And sensing the nourishment,

The sense of being held and hugged by Mother Earth as you're walking through these gates and spending this time relaxing and releasing.

Surrounded now in that beautiful space of the heart,

Loving kindness,

Compassion,

Forgiveness,

Communication,

Relationship.

This is often a space where we can get the time that we really need to release the things that happen for us on a really regular basis.

And so this is a beautiful time to kind of sink into that.

If you're willing even up to your neck.

Really sensing the healing power of the earth surrounding you in this beautiful green.

Again,

Taking that healing power from all around the world and moving forward through that green mud bath up to the next gate where we press through and slide into the beautiful ocean waters in Greece.

Off of the distance you can see the white sand in this little section.

Still in that bathhouse moving through but we can see we have a peeking window to see the white sand in the ocean but we know we're standing in the ocean water.

There's a spot to be seated if you'd like for a moment you can rest really just taking in this experience the healing waters of the ocean salt water so healing and experiencing that sense of the throat and that chakra center where we want to be able to speak our truths to have clear communication and allow the nourishment of the ocean.

And here you can rinse off if you'd like anything that's still kind of riding around with you from any of the other baths.

And taking the time here to clean that off if you wish and if you don't you can leave it just as is.

If bringing some of that forward with you feels empowering and as though you could continue to use the healing you can just leave that right there and bring it with you.

Just smelling the ocean water hearing the beautiful laugh of the ocean and the warmth against your skin just a hint of cooling but completely comfortable.

And taking your time walking a little more easily here through that water celebrating the sound of your voice and maybe you're singing and maybe you're intuiting words and things that you need to be saying and just receiving that reflecting on what's coming in what wisdom.

And then moving up to the next gate pressing through we walk into a beautiful blue my bath.

Deep blue,

Sapphire blue moving in some of the soil in the Philippines almost a trick of the eye.

Taking that in deep beautiful blue.

Our intuition the energy center of the inner knowing and listening here those internal years for anything that you need to know or experience.

Again if you feel cold you can always put that on your arms your neck your chest your face your hair taking in that nourishing beauty the magic of Mother Earth being so many different shades and holding space literally like a hug just nourishing and wrapping you in this beautiful experience of allowing the letting go the pause this beautiful space and time to reflect on what you're hearing what you're learning what you're knowing as you move through that space and pressing up to that last gate and pushing through into some of the purple soil from Big Sur.

Again a beautiful deep amethyst color moving through in this space feeling so connected and nourished by Mother Earth but also realizing the vastness of your experience here the deep connection not just to Mother Earth but to every single thing.

Again cleansing with extra mud bath if that feels like that's something that would be helpful the arms the legs the chest making sure everything is surrounded the face and the hair receiving the special nutrients from each sound that bath that space where you are connected to Mother Earth receiving the gifts of each one of those places around the world opening up and expanding and receiving the release of this moment that sense of interconnectedness to everything mystery and moving forward and at that last gate pressing through into pure white soil and that soil is really made of quartz crystals so finely ground but shining like they're in the Sun coming into the most incredible white room the last little bit of cavern here and in this space sinking in realizing that this isn't a mud bath this this is light and as you breathe here this is the time to receive the healing you've been given surrounded in light having been surrounded in Mother Earth pure and cleansed in this time and space I invite you to receive the sound healing allowing that sound to float in around and through you filling you back up having gone through this beautiful spa mud bath in each space allowing a release a reflection of the things we don't want to take with us listening in with those internal ears and now in this incredible healing bright white space I invite you to float if you'd like in that healing white light like the ocean fully cleansed I invite you to stand or take a seat in your mind basking in that white space where you're now going to take the healing in and imagine opening yourself up for whatever healing is needed to listen with the mind and the inner years reflection needed for your soul's journey pausing here reflection of the sound healing energetically flowing through the body receiving the healing sensing the ability to pause in this moment having been filled back up with healing energy energy centers of the body having been recharged upon any wisdom taken away from your time today and returning to that same call prefer practice I am grateful to take time to pause and reflect to my inner knowing to lead the way for my soul journey my soul journey.

I'm grateful to take time to pause and reflect,

Listening to my inner knowing to lead the way for my soul journey.

And as you pause in this last few moments of practice,

I invite you to breathe as you reflect on the healing received and also any insight,

Intuition or inner knowing that you received in your practice.

And taking time to reflect on how you will take that out into the world.

If it resonates,

Bring the hands to perposition at heart center as it goes for today.

This time of reflection,

Healing light and love of my soul honors the healing light and love in yours.

Together as a collective,

We take this beautiful healing light and energy and shine it out into the world.

Namaste.
