Hello,
My name is David Atkinson and today's meditation is called Healing Waters.
And I invite you to find a comfortable position,
Either sitting or laying down.
And as you settle into this comfortable position,
I ask you to take some deep,
Slow belly breaths in and out.
And when you breathe out,
I would like you to breathe out with a sigh or a sound,
Letting go of any tension.
And as you continue this deep belly breathing,
If you haven't already done so,
I invite you to close your eyes.
And as you close your eyes,
Just keep them relaxed and allow your breath to now find its natural relaxed rhythm.
And I want you to see in your mind's eye,
Being in a forest,
You can hear the birds,
And you can see the beautiful sunlight dabbled by the trees.
And as you look around,
There is a multitude of greens with the different coloured leaves on the trees,
And the different vegetation like ferns,
Brambles and other forest foliage on the ground.
And leading away from you,
You can see a forest path,
It's a well walked gentle path leading you downhill,
And I ask you to start walking this path.
And as you follow it down this gentle slope,
You start to hear water flowing in the distance.
And as you go further down this path,
You go deeper down into relaxation.
And you get closer and closer to a small river.
And you can see the water flowing down beside the path you are following.
And it's flowing in the same direction,
And as you both gently go down,
Deeper down into relaxation,
You follow the hill down further into the forest.
And this beautiful river gently meanders this way and that way,
With fish jumping out of the water and the birds still singing in the tree.
There is a beautiful light breeze just blowing through the forest.
You stop for just a moment to really soak in the atmosphere.
And as you're stood still,
You hear something gently moving through the forest.
And you see a stag,
And the stag gently comes down the hill and is heading to the water.
And the stag is unaware of you stood still.
And you see the stag dip its head down to drink from the water.
And as that magical creature drinks that water,
You see a shimmer of beautiful light just ripple throughout the whole of his body.
It is as though the water has a natural healing property.
And the stag finishes drinking and raises his head and looks directly in your direction.
And for a moment you have a beautiful connection with this beautiful animal.
And the stag gently walks back the way it came up the hill and into the forest.
And now that the stag has gone,
You continue down the path,
Following the river.
And you see there is a very gentle spill place in the river,
Almost a natural pool.
And you kneel down to dip your hand in to feel the temperature of the water.
And the temperature of the water is a beautiful warm inviting temperature.
And I invite you to now climb into this pool and soak up this beautiful warm healing water.
And in this pool there is a nice lake where you can sit or lay comfortably in the water.
And you can feel the warmth gently penetrating into your muscles.
And that warmth is helping to heal,
Helping to relax all of the muscle fibres in your body.
And you really feel how deep this warm water penetrates into your muscles,
Into your bones,
Into your ligaments and tendons,
Allowing your body to completely and utterly relax.
And as this wave of relaxation continues to sweep,
You can feel the warmth of the water sweep down through your body,
From the top of your head to the tip of your toe and the tip of your finger.
You can really feel that healing warmth penetrating deep into every cell of your body.
And this healing warmth also allows you to let go of any tension,
Any thoughts,
Any pain,
That you may have had before.
And the water absorbs all of this as you let it go.
And as you let it go and let it flow,
All that negative tension,
Pain or suffering is replaced by the warmth and light from the healing waters,
It is replaced with that beautiful love that exists in our mystical,
Magical universe.
The beautiful healing light that exists in all things is existing in all of your cells of your body,
And with this warmth of these healing waters,
That light expands,
That love expands.
And as love and light fill your body,
It continues to fill your aura.
And as love and light fills your aura,
It helps you see clearly what is going on around you in your life.
It helps you protect yourself from the energies around you.
It helps you decipher and see clearly what is going on energetically around you.
And as that love and light has filled your aura,
It starts to go beyond your aura.
And as it goes beyond your aura,
It heals any past karma.
It heals any past family karma that needs healing.
That love and that light is going beyond and into the many generations that have passed before you,
Healing all those connections,
Healing the past of many,
Many generations.
And as this healing energy continues outwards,
I invite you to pull back your energy back to the space around your aura.
And I invite you,
If you normally use any kind of protection around your energy,
To ask for that protection to be in place.
And if you do not normally use any energetic protection,
Then that is okay.
It is just being fully aware of your energies and when you need to cleanse your energy.
And in a moment,
It will be time to leave the healing waters.
Just know that at any time you can return to these waters,
Whether that is through your mind or through this meditation.
So I invite you to climb out of the healing waters and dry yourself off.
You feel safe,
You feel well,
You feel amazing,
You can feel a tingle in every cell of your body.
You feel like you have a beautiful glow around your body.
Your mind is at peace and your body is at ease.
And now it is time to slowly wander the path that goes gently up the hill through the trees.
And as you follow this path,
You are gently coming back into this space and time,
Knowing that the experience you have just had will help you now and for the days to come as your body heals and repairs.
And as you walk further up this path,
You can feel your fingers and toes and you gently move those fingers and those toes and you feel your arms and your legs and when you are ready,
You gently stretch those arms and those legs and when you are ready,
You stretch even further into your body and allow yourself to come back into this space and this time.
And when you feel ready,
Open your eyes.
Thank you for joining me on this beautiful healing journey.
I ask that you take care of yourself in the coming hours and days.
Stay hydrated,
Eat well and allow yourself to write anything that feels like it needs to be written.
Take time for yourself,
Especially in the next few hours.
You can return to the healing waters whenever you want and you can listen to this meditation again whenever you feel called.
My name is David Atkinson and I have been blessed to guide you on this healing journey.
Thank you.
