Welcome.
My name is Libby Lussier and I'm your guide for this meditation.
This guided meditation is based on the book of Ecclesiastes,
Chapter 3,
Verses 1-15.
It invites you on a peaceful walk down a quiet country road,
Surrounded by open fields,
Sunshine and the gentle sounds of nature.
You may reflect on the seasons of life and on God's perfect timing.
Through calming imagery and scripture,
This meditation helps you connect with the present moment and find peace in the rhythm and purpose of your own journey.
Before we begin,
I encourage you to find yourself a quiet space,
Free of any disturbances.
Now gently close your eyes and take a slow,
Deep breath in,
Hold for a count of two.
And release.
Take another deep breath in.
Now imagine you are standing on a peaceful country dirt road.
And you feel the warmth of the sun shining on your face.
As you begin slowly walking down the road,
You notice the dirt beneath your feet,
And the dust that swirls behind you.
As you continue to walk,
You notice small pebbles in the dirt,
And some larger stones as well.
You come upon a large boulder in the road,
And you gently walk around it,
And continue on.
As you bring your focus to the road ahead,
You become aware of the vast fields surrounding the path.
They appear to go on forever.
You see wild grass swaying softly in the wind.
The scent of summer and freshly mowed fields is in the air.
You hear birds chirping and singing beautiful songs of joy.
As you continue to walk along the dirt road,
You are drawn to look up into the sky,
Where you see soft cloud formations high above you.
They appear as soft pillows of pure bliss,
Noticing the sun shining brightly as you move along the path.
As you continue to walk,
You begin to have an awareness.
You realize the road that you are on is a mirror to your life's journey.
God has placed you in this perfect space to receive the gifts that have been provided for you.
The sunshine,
The dirt,
The clouds,
The boulders and rocks,
The vast fields,
The plants and grasses,
And the animals.
You are reminded of Chapter 3 in the Book of Ecclesiastes.
For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven.
And you begin to realize that everything in your life has a season and a purpose.
As you draw near to the end of the road,
You turn around and see all of God's creation.
You become aware that there is nothing more to add to this beautiful point in time.
You understand this moment is a gift from God.
And now you turn and begin your journey back home from where you began,
Feeling grateful to God for this experience and knowing that you can return to this place any time you choose.
As you walk the path back home,
You notice the dirt on the road,
The cloud formations,
The vast fields,
And the chirping birds.
Now you have arrived back home,
Bringing yourself back to the room and the chair that you're sitting in,
Taking one last deep breath in and release.
Wiggle your fingers and your toes.
And when you are ready,
Gently open your eyes.
Namaste,
Beloved.
Namaste.
