The Warmth Of The Sun

A short meditation that uses the power of visualisation to relax the body through using a playful and colourful body scan. It is best to try this meditation whilst sitting in a comfortable chair or lying in bed or on a sofa.

Transcript

Close your eyes and imagine you are sitting on the balcony of a beautiful house on a hillside.

You're sitting in a rocking chair and it is a sunny day with very few clouds in the sky.

You slowly notice a sensation of a warmth and support entering through the fingers of your left hand.

You become aware that the yellow golden orange colour of the sun is starting to enter your body.

As a warm,

Supportive,

Luscious colour.

It slowly climbs up your arm,

Past your elbow and up to your shoulders.

You notice it slowly move across your shoulders and down your other arm,

Past your elbows,

Over your forearm and down into the palm of your hand.

You then become aware that this warm,

Luscious,

Supportive colour is moving down through your spine,

Vertebrae by vertebrae.

And you gradually become aware that this colour is now surrounding the entire top half of your body.

It then starts to seep down your thigh muscles,

Over and behind your knees,

Down your calf muscles and shins,

Around your ankles and into your feet.

So this warm,

Supportive,

Luscious,

Golden yellow colour is now around your entire body.

And you feel a deep sense of comfort,

Warmth and compassion.

Remember what this colour feels like,

So that you can bring it with you whenever you need.
