Stepping Into Your Waterfall Of Joy

This is one of my all-time favorite meditations. Step fully into relaxation, then allow yourself to be guided to your personal waterfall of joy, a connection to the flow of Divine bliss that is always available to us. Fully immerse yourself in that flow, and allow emotional and physical stress to melt away. This meditation was recorded live.

So,

Get yourself nice and situated.

Sit up if it's comfortable with your feet on the floor,

On the ground.

If you're on the floor,

Then settle your bottom nice and heavy into the earth,

Into the ground.

If you're lying down,

That's fine.

Let yourself be heavy.

But if you feel like you might fall asleep,

You might sit back up.

Let's start today at the heart center.

You can bring your hands to the heart if you like.

Take a nice deep breath,

Just like I did.

In through the nose and out through the mouth.

Let it out with a nice sigh.

Again,

There's no one watching you.

You can make as much or as little noise as you'd like.

Keep your hands on your heart if they're there.

Keep your awareness in the chest.

But then start to pay attention to your feet.

Liggle your toes a little bit if you want to.

Really feel your feet as they connect to the ground.

If it feels appropriate,

You can even imagine roots coming out of your feet like you're a tree.

And these roots tap deep into the earth.

That dark,

Rich,

Beautiful energy of the earth.

And now I want you to bring your attention to the top of your head.

You can relax your hands down if you like.

Allow the top of your head,

Your crown chakra,

To gently open.

And with intention,

Invite in the joy of the divine,

The love of the divine,

The beautiful golden light of unconditional love that comes from the source of all that is.

Allow it to flow into your head.

Let it fill your head,

Your scalp,

Your skull,

Your jaw,

Your face.

Let this beautiful light come into your throat and your neck.

Let it come into the upper back,

The shoulders.

Allow this beautiful,

Flowing golden light to flow down your arms,

Through the upper arms and into the elbows.

Let it come into the forearms and the wrists,

The hands.

Allow this beautiful love,

This light,

To flow into your chest and upper back.

Take a nice deep breath at the heart center and then let this flow continue down into your upper belly and your mid back,

The low belly and low back.

Let this relaxation,

This beautiful light flow into your hips and your pelvis.

Take another deep breath here in the hips.

Let it out with a big sigh.

Let that flow continue down your thighs,

Let it come into your knees,

Pausing here,

Giving a little extra attention to the knees that provide us with so much support physically and energetically.

Take a big breath here if you'd like and then continue down into the shins and the calves,

The ankles and the feet.

Notice how your awareness has shifted from the first deep breath you took to this moment,

Feeling at home in the body,

Feeling relaxed.

Before we go on our journey today,

Just take two or three more breaths.

Notice any areas of tension that remain in your body and take a deep breath directly into those areas.

Let it out with a sigh.

As you're ready,

I want you to start to picture the most beautiful waterfall you've ever seen in your life,

The most beautiful waterfall you can imagine.

The surroundings of this waterfall are unique to you.

Look around and notice that you are in a very safe,

A very serene environment.

The scenery is exactly what you need at this moment to feel very safe,

To feel very calm.

You're already starting to feel love in this space.

It's a sacred,

Beautiful space.

This connection to your inner flow of joy.

Step up to the edge of the waterfall.

Notice how big,

How powerful it is,

But how safe and beautiful it is.

This river of water that flows straight from the divine into your body,

Into your soul.

This cascade of beautiful joy and love that flows down just for you in your space.

This is a unique area we each carry.

Let it be your space.

I want you to continue to stand at the edge of this pool,

At the edge of this waterfall.

Maybe you feel the mist on your face.

It's the most beautiful,

Refreshing feeling you've ever had,

This waterfall,

This mist.

It comes and you feel this as joy.

You feel yourself smiling.

Maybe you see a color here.

If not,

That's fine,

But let this mist of the waterfall just gently wash over you.

No need to jump right in yet.

We're just enjoying being here.

Maybe you dip your toe into the pool.

Again,

Noticing how sacred this feels,

How beautiful this is,

How calming it is,

And yet how buoyant you feel.

Take a moment to let go of anything you came into this space with.

You can even throw it into the pool at the bottom of your waterfall.

This divine energy will transform anything into love.

If you've had worries,

If you've been cranky,

If you've had physical issues going on,

You can leave any of them here and let yourself feel buoyant,

Let yourself feel light.

Notice a beautiful glow coming from the sky.

Maybe it's a golden sunlight glow.

Maybe it's a color.

This is unique to your space.

Notice this beautiful glow.

Maybe it's a purpley dusk.

Whatever comes to you is perfect.

Now you're sitting on the edge of the pool,

Just dangling your feet in.

The water is the perfect temperature.

You're starting to really feel this joy.

And if it does become too overwhelming,

You can stop at any one of these stages.

You can stay here just dangling your legs into this beautiful pool in the beautiful light of divine love here.

You can come back here at any time.

This space exists within you.

This is always accessible to you.

But if you feel ready,

We're going to go all the way in to this pool at the bottom of your waterfall.

It's the perfect depth,

Whatever that means for you.

As you immerse yourself in this water,

You notice your physical tension,

Your physical pain melting away.

You notice those worries and cares that you came with continuing to relax for this moment.

And now while you're in this pool,

Let your heart begin to open.

This is a completely safe space.

Absolutely nothing can hurt you here.

You can open yourself as much as you want to,

Or as little if you're not ready.

That's completely fine.

There's no wrong answer here.

But if you're ready,

You can completely open your heart,

Open your chest and take in this joy,

This love,

This beauty.

Let it move you to tears if you feel called to do so.

And pause to breathe at any point.

You can take a step back at any point if needed.

You can stay here in this calm,

Gentle pool.

Or if you'd like,

You can go further in to explore the waterfall itself.

You can let this beautiful water,

This light,

This joy,

This bliss cascade over your shoulders.

It looks so powerful,

But when you get into it,

It's just the gentlest,

Most loving touch,

Like a beautiful rain falling.

And again,

If you want,

Open your heart and let this joy flow directly into your heart center.

Let it come into the rest of your body as it feels appropriate.

Feel your physical body continuing to relax,

Continuing to let go of tension and pain.

Letting go of the fear that you've been carrying around with you,

The anger.

Nothing exists in this place except this pure blissful joy,

This glowing light of divine bliss,

Divine love.

Begin to feel part of this waterfall.

Let it come completely in to your physical body,

To your emotional space,

To your energetic space.

You're completely surrounded by this beautiful flow of joy and love.

And take a moment here if you'd like and ask if there are any messages for you today from your divine higher self,

From your intuition,

From this beautiful place of joy,

Of love.

Maybe you've been struggling with a decision.

Let it come into your mind and see if an answer is laid before you.

If not,

That's okay.

You're just opening the space for it to happen if it's meant to happen today,

If you're meant to receive any information.

Maybe you notice a connection here with somebody you've missed that you haven't seen in a while.

Hold them in your heart in this space of joy.

Let this joy ripple out as we come out of the meditation.

You can allow this beautiful flow to affect everyone around you in a beautiful way.

There is no scarcity here.

This flow always exists.

You will never run out of joy,

Of love,

When you are tapped into this divine flow.

So give it freely.

Let your cup overflow because it will refill from this beautiful waterfall,

This beautiful space.

Let yourself be cleansed by this water.

Any darkness that you've been holding onto,

Let it wash down and into the pool beneath you.

It just gets recycled into love here,

Completely transformed into love.

You can come back to this space anytime you like.

You can repeat this meditation as many times as you want to visit this beautiful,

Joyful space within yourself.

Give yourself a few last moments here and invite in an affirmation of joy.

I'm going to say a few out loud.

You can use any of those or something comes to you.

Then use what comes from your own intuition.

I am joy.

Divine joy flows through me.

I connect to my inner source of divine joy.

I am always enough.

I am always in joy.

Joy is who I am.

Give yourself one last moment.

Say one of these affirmations out loud to yourself if possible or in your mind.

Let this joy really come in to every cell in your body,

To your emotional space,

To the energetic fields within and around you.

Bring this joy back with you into your home,

Into your family,

Into your work.

Let this joy ripple out to inspire others to come to this place with you of joy,

To find the joy within themselves and connect with you in a deeper way.

Take one last big deep breath.

Let it out with a big sigh in this flow of beautiful water,

Of joy,

Of light,

Of love,

Of bliss.

And then as you're ready,

Slowly step out of the flow of water,

Remaining in that pool of joy,

Very slowly making this transition,

Honoring yourself,

Honoring your journey.

If you'd like,

You can leave a small gift here to remind yourself that this is always available to you.

Maybe it's an object in your life that is dear to you.

You can leave a picture of one of your family members,

Anything that feels appropriate.

And if nothing comes to your mind,

That's fine.

Then it's not the right step for you today.

I leave a beautiful sunflower floating in the pool and then after you've left your gift,

Let yourself come back so that you're just dangling your feet in the water,

Your legs.

You're still completely connected to this joy.

And in fact,

Leaving this pool does nothing to stop this flow of joy.

It's always here,

It's always available to you.

We're going to bring this flow back with us into the physical body,

Into our daily lives as we come away.

Let yourself step out of the pool.

Take a last look around.

Notice how beautiful,

How serene,

How secure you feel here,

How safe and loved and loving.

Notice one more time what color it is,

What kind of scenery surrounds you.

This is your space of internal joy.

And then very slowly,

Let yourself begin to come back to the room,

To your body,

To the space that you're in.

Let this joy remain in your heart.

Let this flow continue.

You can visualize the waterfall in your body coming down through your head and out through your feet into a pool of joy.

Right here in your physical body,

This waterfall is always flowing this divine,

Beautiful glowing light comes in through the top of the head,

Flows down through the body and grounds back down into the earth.

You can bring this pool,

This flow with you wherever you go in life.

You can come back to it and reintroduce yourself to it over and over again until it feels like your space until you start to carry it with you in your daily life.

If you'd like to,

You can let the crown of your head gently close.

It's up to you.

You can leave it open.

You're in a safe space,

Whatever feels appropriate to you.

And one last time,

Let this energy flow down through the head and the neck,

Through the arms and shoulders and hands,

Into the chest and upper back,

To the belly and low back,

The hips,

The thighs and knees,

The lower legs and feet.

Let yourself come back into the body.

I am fully at home in my body.

I am fully present in my body.

I have fully returned to my body.

You can wiggle your toes a little bit.

Wiggle your fingers if you want.

Just start to slowly move.

Find yourself that you're in a physical form here,

But maintain that joyful state for as long as you'd like,

As long as it stays with you.

One last big deep breath.

Let it out with a big sigh.

And a moment to send gratitude to those who've practiced with you today and to yourself for committing to this practice.

As you shift your energy,

The energy of the world shifts.

And as you're ready,

Open your eyes.
