Falling Back And Finding Stillness

This meditation is suited for the Fall/Autumn season where we are focused on slowing down, going inward, shedding, resting, and planting seeds for renewal. Just like the earth, we must shed our leaves and rest in order to plant seeds for the future.

Transcript

Hello and welcome.

Please find a comfortable seat,

And when you're ready,

Gently close your eyes.

Take a slow,

Deep breath in,

And gently release it.

Again,

Inhale deeply,

Filling your lungs with fresh air.

Exhale softly,

Letting go of tension.

Allow your body to settle.

Imagine the light fading earlier.

Picture yourself among autumn trees.

Leaves of gold drift down.

Just as these trees shed their leaves,

You too can release what is ready to fall away,

An expectation.

This is your time to rest,

To pause between what has been.

Beneath the soil,

Life prepares to emerge.

Feel that same quiet potential within you,

Waiting for their season to bloom.

Breathe out trust.

Bring awareness back to your body,

And slowly exhale.

Carry this stillness with you.

Gentle renewal.

Just like the earth,

We must shed our leaves and rest in order to plant seeds for the future.
