Welcome to this guided meditation called Sunny Mountain Top with Your Inner Child.
Let's begin.
Please get comfortable,
Seated or lay down if you wish.
Closing one eye,
Thank you.
Closing the next eye,
Thank you.
Holding that breath please for 7 seconds now.
Feel that breath and connect to smooth,
Long,
Long exhale.
An introduction.
So this guided meditation involves a mountain,
Which caused a curiosity of how they are truly formed,
Which links beautifully with the curious inner child.
We all remember all those hows and whys questions amongst that wonderful imagination that we naturally process when we are a child.
So to answer the topic of mountains,
Mountains are formed by slow but gigantic movements of the Earth's crust,
Which is made up of 6 huge plates,
Which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.
When two plates dramatically crash into each other,
The land can be pushed upwards,
Forming mountains.
I love how the word puzzle is mentioned,
For we often express life's journey about picturing all the pieces coming together like a jigsaw puzzle,
And when the time is right for it all to fit.
There is also the element of force,
That something good comes out of dramatic changes,
For that mountain may now give home to new plants,
Animals that need the security of a mountain,
And also giving birth to real mountaineers.
And the theme of yourself and your inner child is a lovely balance of work and play through life.
And once more holding the breath for 6 seconds now.
Feel your unique breath.
So a journey with the intention to arrive on a very sunny mountain top and connect there with your inner child.
Time to connect to support and stillness.
Let the physical body get comfortable and still now.
Expand that beautiful meditated mind.
So please picture now,
Your inner child is ready and waiting at the top of the sunny mountain for you,
By simply connecting straight away,
Both of you being bare feet.
How much your feet have grown since then.
For when the walk up this mountain begins soon,
It is to be felt every step with your bare feet,
That are perfectly designed to walk everywhere.
And for now,
See yourself at the beginning,
Stood under a big old large apple tree,
Breathing the smell of ripe fruits lingering in the air.
Golden yellow ripe apple.
See the tree as a gift.
See the solid strength of its trunk.
See the flexible branches.
Feel the roots you know are in the ground.
In the crown that is bathed in sunshine.
Pick this live fruit of two shining apples as a gift to share later.
Two golden apples and put them in your pocket for now.
Be aware how flat the ground is when you compare this to the mountain that is yet to be climbed.
And although there is great comfort of the flat ground here,
There is more on offer of which is reconnecting to your inner child.
Be aware how mighty and tall this mountain is presented to you.
Reflect on this mountain.
Sometimes mountains require a lot of energy to overcome obstacles,
To overcome the illusions of fear and stagnation,
Of doubts and overthinking.
But the rewards of the mountain climb are magnificent.
The balance of work and play.
The balance of the adult and the inner child.
So ready to go and meet your inner child,
Take that last look around as you leave the ground of this old apple tree and taking that first step up the mountain.
Allow the feet,
The skin to hug each climb.
Get to know this mountain.
Feel the hands are working with you and all the body is gently flowing gracefully up this mountain.
Start to feel the breath is working with you.
Each step,
Each inhale.
Each step,
Each inhale.
Each exhale.
Have a moment connecting to this mountain that fills you with wonder for being here.
Beans sizes flower Listen,
Listen to that inner child of wonder whispering in your ear,
Wishing for the wind to guide you to them,
Just because we can still wish.
So forwards with the help of a wind current flowing in your direction,
Feeling that current of air helping just a little,
And connecting to the strength of this mountain in your hands and on the soles of the feet.
Let the toes push with a rhythm of pushing you up and up.
Remember all work is rewarded,
Life is work and life has rewards.
Now your inner child may whisper again in your ear to begin to hum and sing to yourself and make the journey lighter and more richer.
We will reach the top of this sunny mountain in a few meditated minutes,
So please explore and soak up everything you can picture as you head to its sunny top.
Breathe your mountain breath.
Be aware of the clouds very much on the same level now.
Ready now,
Feel a sense it's time to arrive on the top,
At this top of the most sunniest mountain,
Breathing in creamy white sunlight.
Connect to this sacred place and the achievement of getting here.
Have a moment more of simply attuning to this height.
It's time now for that special meeting to happen,
To be fully present with your inner child,
Whom you may find sitting in a meditated state.
Your inner child wishes to be sincerely in total eye-lock with you now.
Feel yourself seating opposite one another.
Let their eyes look deeply into yours,
For this is your inner child telling you how much they love you,
Love you,
Love you,
Through this journey and the journey of life.
Step closer to your inner child,
Have some precious time together and time to eat those golden apples too.
Let the cheeks of the mouth fill with sweetness.
Feel more and more connected and whole again,
Strengthening together with the power of unconditional love and support.
Drink up the golden sunshine on this mountain top.
Please look and stare how glorious the sky colours are.
And you are invited to meditate on this grand mountain together now.
Step closer to your inner child,
Have some precious time together and time to eat those golden apples too.
Step closer to your inner child,
Have some precious time together and time to eat those golden apples too.
Breathing in your mountain breath and with thanks to this mountain for being here,
For you both and allowing this special time together.
Feel recharged,
Feel balanced.
Even with thoughts of your playful inner child,
Wishes for a return journey home together,
But for it to be easy,
Easy down this mountain with a playful slide.
So let there be,
Be a smooth winding flowing slide,
Going around and around down this mountain to take you both back to the ground.
Allow both of you to feel happy and playful with your hands.
Wind in your faces,
Sliding down for the next 30 seconds.
Rolling,
Rolling onto the ground with laughter inside and feeling whole again.
It's time to stand once more in front of that old apple tree and pick each a golden apple.
Eat this fruit and feel its sweetness in the cheeks of the mouth.
Swallow its nectar and thank the apple tree.
Seeing the tree as a gift,
Seeing the solid strength of its trunk,
Seeing the flexible branches,
Feeling the roots you know are in the ground and the crown that is bathed in the sunshine.
Feel complete that you yourself have the wonderful uplifting qualities of your inner child now,
To balance the work with plain beautiful playtime.
May you continue your journey of life together.
Full of gratitude,
Full of adventure,
Full of unconditional love.
Thank you and awake to the count of 5.
