Take a deep breath in and gently allow your breath to exhale out.
Take another deep breath in,
Allowing your body to relax and to settle in.
Take one last deep breath in and as you exhale out,
Find your centre.
Allow your breath to take a small rhythm and pace.
And I invite you to visualise standing at the edge of a forest.
This forest has beautiful trees,
Plants and flowers.
And looking ahead you see a path leading deeper into the forest.
As you walk along the path,
You notice the colours and textures and different shapes of all the plants and flowers.
You are safe in this forest and you are protected.
As you move along the path,
You see a small waterfall.
The water gently flows over a large rock into a crystal clear pool of water which then flows down into a small creek.
There is something about this waterfall,
It seems so smooth and calm and yet there is movement with the water.
It almost feels like a cleansing is occurring.
There is also a feminine like energy to this waterfall,
If you sense it holding you.
This waterfall is grounding you.
And as you leave the waterfall,
You follow the path and venture deeper into the forest.
At the end of the path,
You see some very old trees.
These are the elder trees.
These trees have been here for hundreds of years and hold a lot of wisdom and knowledge.
And the elder trees are here to provide you with the powerful healing.
As you walk up to these magnificent old trees,
You will be guided to the older trees calling you today.
As you meet your elder tree,
Notice just how large this tree is.
The roots are thick and they go down deep into the ground and they have also grown out of the ground.
This tree is deeply rooted into Mother Earth and the trunk is so solid and strong and it seems to just reach to the sky.
The leaves form a beautiful canopy and it is as if this elder tree is a vessel of energy waiting just for you.
The elder tree reckons for you to sit in between its large and big roots.
The roots of the tree hold you like a cradle,
Protecting and nurturing you.
The trunk of the tree holds you with its strength and power.
And as you settle your back in against the tree,
You feel yourself merging with it,
Feeling its strength and energy radiating to you.
And as you nestle into the tree,
You hear a rustling of leaves.
A luminous being comes from behind it and sits in front of you.
This luminous being is a wise old soul here just for you.
And as you look into the eyes of this wise old soul,
You feel a sense of knowing,
A sense of familiarity and a sense of protection.
And suddenly you feel a stirring in your heart.
Your heart chakra is opening,
It is being activated.
And the elder tree asks for your permission to allow your heart to open up and to receive this pure,
Divine love from this luminous being.
Sitting there,
You feel the solid strength of the tree and this beautiful luminous being providing you with this healing.
And the pure energy flows from this luminous being into you,
Into your heart,
Into every cell of your body,
Filling you with love,
Energy and protection.
And you feel your heart chakra expanding and receiving this divine energy.
A feeling of peace sweeps over you and your body relaxes deeper and deeper into this healing.
Your body sucks out this energy and it receives this love.
Are you allowing your body to pay you this experience?
And the luminous being has a gift for you.
It's wrapped in a cloth and they hand it to you.
As you open the cloth,
You will receive a gift which is what you need at this time.
It may be an object,
A symbol,
A word or a message just for you.
And if you don't receive anything at this time,
It's okay.
It will come to you in time.
And you thank this luminous being for the beautiful healing and gift they have given you today.
And it is time now for the luminous being to leave you.
They want you to know they are always here for you and you can connect with them at any time.
And gently stepping out of this beautiful cocoon that the roots have created for you today,
It is time now for you to leave.
And as you stand up,
Place your hands on the elder tree and thank it for holding you today.
Knowing you can always come back to this space and visit the elder tree at any time.
And as you start to venture back down the track,
Notice how you feel so much more connected to the earth and more grounded.
And as you look around,
You may notice an animal appear.
This is a spirit animal that has been watching over you today and protecting you.
Thank you for looking over you today.
And as you finish down the path,
You find yourself standing in the clearing of grass.
Connect to how your body feels,
The healing it has received.
And give gratitude to the elder tree in nature.
And start to become aware of being back in the room.
Becoming aware of how you are in your body now.
Feeling yourself sitting in the chair or lying down.
Gently wiggle your toes and fingers.
And become aware of any sounds around you.
And slowly open your eyes.
Coming back into the room and taking this energy with you today.
And stay.
