Hello and welcome to this meditation.
I invite you to breathe deeply in through your nostrils.
Hold the breath at the top of your lungs.
Relax.
Push it deep down into your belly.
Let's do that again.
When you feel the breath coming into your body,
I like to imagine inhaling light,
Warm,
Bright light,
Bringing the light in from outside,
Shooting it into my body to where all of the dark shadowy places might be,
Places that have been resting.
Have a wiggle around on your mat.
Feel into your body a little.
Are there parts of your body where you feel creaky or sore?
Maybe a bit stiff?
Send the breath to them.
When you're feeling settled,
When you've found that soft place to rest,
I invite you to come with me on a journey.
We're not going very far,
We're just going into a glade,
Into a wood,
We're going for a little walk.
Can you feel the grass beneath your feet?
You left your shoes at home,
You're walking barefoot.
The grass feels damp,
But delicious.
You can feel the blades between your toes.
You can feel the connection with the earth.
As you walk forward,
The texture begins to change.
The earth becomes more mossy.
It's soft,
Like walking on a mattress.
You see a spot,
Just a little way ahead,
An opening,
Surrounded by trees,
A mossy,
Warm,
Safe glade.
You can see the light,
Dappling through the trees,
Beams of light creeping through the leaves of the trees and landing softly on the glade below.
You choose to rest here.
As you look around,
You realise your friends are there too.
I'll let you decipher how many of your friends have arrived,
Maybe two or three.
These are your spirit friends,
Your guides,
Kind,
Loving presence in your life.
Maybe your higher self or versions of selves that have been before,
We're pleased to see them,
They're very pleased to see you.
You relish being in the same space,
In the same glade together.
You join hands.
They ask you what you want to bring about,
What your burning desire is.
You share with them.
You share with them one burning desire that's really present in your mind's eye.
It doesn't matter if you have many of them.
You just bring them the one that comes to you first,
The one that lands in your mind's eye first.
You share that with them.
They suggest that you place it firmly in the middle of the circle,
As if it were an object.
Then together,
With your hands held,
Standing in the circle in the glade of light,
All of you invite light into that object.
You see a cone of light growing from the object.
It emanates from within the object.
It grows upwards.
As you focus on it,
As you send it love,
As you feel the power from your friend's hands filling your body with love,
Filling your body with light,
You see the cone growing taller and taller and taller.
Until it reaches the height of you.
It's filled with vision.
It's filled with energy.
It's filled with passion.
It's filled with desire.
It's filled with all of that flow and positive energy that's going to make it happen.
As it reaches the height of you,
As it's filled with all of that positive energy,
All of that joy,
All of that desire,
It explodes over your heads.
It explodes in a kaleidoscope of fractured light,
Beautiful,
Joyous,
Light explosion.
Little fragments of light gently flicker down all over your circle,
Blessing you,
Dusting you,
Enveloping you in desire and joy,
Scattering the magic,
Scattering the vision.
You're filled with certainty.
You're filled with peace.
You feel your friend's hands in yours once more.
You squeeze their hands tight.
You look up to the sky.
You see the light streaming through the trees.
You know you are safe.
You know your burning desire will manifest.
You rise.
You walk back,
Back out of the glade,
Back to the room.
