Let's take a moment to step into this space fully and completely.
Allow yourself to settle with comfort,
Inviting support from pillows if needed.
Check in with your breath.
Observe the quality of the inhales and exhales as you breathe easily with comfort.
Just follow the breath as the time passes here.
Feeling the flow in.
And out of your body.
Imagine yourself walking on a path in the forest.
You can tell that this path is well traveled by other travelers.
It's a spacious path within a forest where the sun peeks through the trees,
Enough to keep you warm along your journey.
Taking one step at a time,
You move along this field of sunlight.
And greenery.
With a backpack on.
Just ahead on this path.
You can see a clearing.
As you get closer to this clearing.
You can hear the faintest sound of waterfalls.
The wind begins to change from stillness to a soft caress on your skin.
The air begins to feel cool on your skin.
As you get closer to the sound of waterfalls.
And the clearance ahead of you,
Your body begins to feel relaxed.
Every step towards this sound and vision is light and gentle.
Until you arrive and see a gentle waterfall in a stream of water that flows for miles away.
Grief can feel like a hike up a mountain with a large backpack.
Invite yourself to set that bag down.
Feeling your body adjust to gravity without the bag of grief on your back.
Take a moment to imagine yourself walking closer to this waterfall.
As you make your way toward the stream of water,
You can feel the cool mist coming from the waterfall caress your face.
Cooling down any heat from the long hike.
Imagine yourself stepping safely into the stream of water.
Feeling the earth beneath your feet.
Imagine every rock or pebble.
Gently apply pressure to the bottoms of your feet like acupuncture.
Feeling any tension in your feet,
Simply relax.
Continue your walk towards the waterfall where it's safe enough for you to stand under the landing water.
As you stand under this gentle waterfall.
Feel your body surrender to the water pressure coming down.
Allowing it to massage your shoulders allowing for the arms and shoulders to settle without any effort to hold on to anything.
Relaxing every muscle group along your shoulders,
Front and back.
Allowing the muscles around your neck to soften and relax.
Your throat chakra begins to open.
This energy point of communication and listening is open to receive and flow energy through.
Now allow your head to be massaged by the waterfall.
Like acupuncture,
Feel the pressure points along your scalp feel a release.
Relaxing the surface of your head.
Releasing any tension around the top of your head.
A steady sense of tranquil washes over your body as the temperature of the water pours out from the earth.
And on to you.
And with every drop of water pouring onto you,
Your body responds with a deeper level of relaxation.
Your crown chakra begins to open.
This energy point of wholeness is open and activated.
Through your crown chakra on the top of your head.
A white light becomes apparent.
And grows in intensity and brightness.
This white light continues to grow.
That pours down onto you.
Just like the waterfall.
The white light flows down onto your body like the waterfall.
And moves around with the intention to heal you.
This white light finds gaps caused by grief,
Sadness,
Loneliness.
And fills those gaps with love,
Joy,
And vitality.
Allow for this energy to flow down from the top of your head.
Down to the soles of your feet to complete its journey.
Let your body be filled with this light to heal the layers of grief.
Allow for this bath under the waterfall in white light to heal you until you feel whole again.
Slowly reawaken your body with gentle movements.
Begin to deepen your breathing as you gently reactivate your body.
Be soft with any emotion or thought now.
A grief weave,
However long or short.
However intense.
Will take a lot of energy from us.
That is simply unexpressed love for our loved ones.
What you're experiencing is another form of love.
That love can be returned back to you to invigorate your mind and body after a grief wave has washed you.
That love can be inspirational,
To live with a bigger heart and love harder.
Take care of yourself.
I hope this brought you a little peace of mind.
I'm sending you a big hug.
