Hi there,
This is Akasha and welcome to this Visualizing Your Peaceful and Beautiful Place Meditation.
And before we get started,
Let's talk a little bit about your meditation seat or position.
I personally like to do my visualization journeys in a reclined position or seated on a very comfortable chair or sofa.
So take the next five breaths to set yourself up in any meditation position that feels best for your body today.
And as you are settling in,
Taking breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth is just a lovely way to release whatever was happening before as you come fully present into being in the now.
So any last little adjustments that you would like to make do that now.
So visualization is a powerful method that allows you to use your imagination to help you relax.
As always,
No visualization while driving,
But you can always come back to this meditation at another time when you can relax.
As you settle into your perfect,
Comfortable position,
Listen to my voice and just follow my direction.
Gently close your eyes and breathe deeply into your abdomen.
Feel yourself in your body right now in this moment.
As you breathe in,
Allow your body to completely and fully relax with the exhalation.
Stress is flowing out of you with each and every breath.
Your body is becoming relaxed and totally at ease.
Let the tension in your brow go.
Let the tension in your lips go.
Let the tension in your lips go.
Let the tension in your eyes go.
And just relax in this quiet,
Comfortable space of darkness and stillness.
Once you feel completely relaxed and centered,
Start to bring yourself to one of your favorite beautiful places.
This could be a place you've been before,
Like a silent redwood grove with cool shade and towering ancient trees that protect you in their mammoth embrace.
Or it could be a white sand beach where the ocean waves gently lap the shore and the smell of the sea makes you feel at home.
It could be a place built entirely in your imagination.
A lovely,
Slowly swaying bridge that you stand on,
Watching a babbling brook flow away beneath it,
Or an ancient oak in the autumn,
Something out of an old legend.
Or golden leaves fall around you as you sit under the shade and watch the golden orange sun pass over the horizon into twilight.
Wherever this special,
Peaceful place is for you,
Take some time to imagine it as completely as you can all around you.
Once you have your special place in mind,
Bring yourself into the picture.
Imagine that you're in this beautiful place.
Put yourself there.
Take a walk and look at the lovely,
Peaceful,
Relaxing surroundings.
Before you were looking at this peaceful scene,
Like a painting from a distance,
Now you are in the same place.
You are living it.
Be there right now.
Just notice what you see.
There's no need to actually answer the question.
Just look around and notice what you see.
What in this scene is most relaxing to you?
What is the most relaxing moment in your life?
What is the most relaxing moment in your life?
What is the most relaxing moment in your life?
What is the most relaxing moment in your life?
What is the most relaxing moment in our life?
There's nothing relaxing to you.
Take a walk in this special place and see all that you can see.
Notice what you smell in the air.
Can you smell the trees and the soil of the earth beneath you?
Or perhaps you smell the salty air by the ocean side.
Bring scent into your visualization.
Smell the air where you are.
In your visualization,
Imagine reaching out and touching something that's attractive and peaceful to you.
How does it feel?
Is it soft to your touch?
You are living in the sea.
You can feel the ground beneath you and the air on your skin.
How does it feel?
Take a moment to listen.
What sounds do you hear in this beautiful new surrounding?
Can you hear birds chirping?
Perhaps you hear ocean waves in their perpetual rhythm.
Perhaps there's music from a flute in the background.
Or maybe you hear the voice of an old friend that soothes and calms you.
Whatever you hear,
Take a moment now to just enjoy listening to it.
You can stay in this scene as long as you want to,
Enjoying this moment of relaxation that you've taken for yourself.
Feel free to walk around in this special place as long as you want.
It's yours.
You can change the scene as you wish.
Remember that this special place is always here for you.
And you can come back to it whenever you wish.
There's no concern of losing it.
It's always with you.
The relaxation that you feel right now at this moment in your body is yours to call on anytime you wish.
Begin to slowly let the scene before you dissolve back into your mind.
Allow yourself to slowly come back to that comfortable darkness that was there before you imagined your special place.
When you're ready in your own time,
There's no rush.
You can slowly open your eyes and come back to this moment,
This time,
And this reality.
Before you get up or make any movement,
Just take a moment to note how relaxed you feel right now.
Take the next five breaths.
Just observe the relaxation that you're experiencing right now.
As you feel ready,
Slowly,
Attentively,
Lovingly begin to move the body and back into the rest of your day.
Thank you so much for joining me for this visualization meditation,
As always,
Delivered with love and blessings for your highest good.
Namaste.
