Closing down your eyes. Coming to a seated position. Or whatever position is most comfortable for your body. Taking a slow, Deep breath. And as you exhale, Softly drop your shoulders down and away from your ears. Maybe even stretching your neck side to side. Letting it all go. And allowing complete relaxation. To wash over you. Imagine you are sitting in the most comfortable chair. Or on the most comfortable couch ever. It's soft. It supports your body in all the right places. Imagine it fitting like a glove. Perfectly. You are the most comfortable and relaxed you have ever been. There is a small wooden table set next to the arm of the chair or the couch that you are sitting on. On the table, You notice a glass with a glowing, Sparkling liquid inside. There is a note on a folded piece of paper beside the glass that reads, This is for you. You ponder what you are seeing for a moment. Then trust fully that this glass and its contents are truly meant for you. You slowly pick up the glass. Admiring its unique shape and size. The color of the liquid and all the sparkles. It's mesmerizing. You decide to take the first step. The liquid is room temperature. Just to your liking. You feel it slowly, Smoothly going down your esophagus into your stomach. It feels good. Comforting. You take another sip. And another. Slowly, This glowing liquid being able to be felt throughout your entire body. You can feel it running through your veins. Out to your hands and down to your feet. It is so warm. It's so gentle. It's soft, Safe. And comforting. Just like a warm embrace. A liquid hug. You finish the last of the liquid in the glass. Placing the glass back on the table. Naturally, Your body takes in a deep breath. And lets out a slow, Deep sigh. After the day you had. This is exactly what you needed. A hug. Unfortunately, Not a human hug. Because there is no one around. The warm embrace of a magical liquid. Creating a similar effect as a human hug. Basking in the warmth. The comfort. The safety. The love of the moment and this experience. Keeping your eyes closed. And your body relaxed. You embrace these feelings and sensations for a few moments longer. Really taking it all in. Appreciating each breath. Each beat of your heart. Each glow and sparkle. Of this liquid. As you imagine it washing over your entire inner body. And mind. You are so relaxed. You are so loved. You are at peace. Many of us find ourselves alone in this world today. Not having someone to give us a hug every day. Or even once a week. While this meditation is no replacement for a genuine human hug. My hope is that it will suffice in times of aloneness and loneliness. Or just when you are in the need of a hug. I know many times I could use a hug. When there is no one available to give me one. I will imagine drinking of this magical, Glowing, Sparkling potion. And allow for the warm embrace. Of a liquid hug. Many blessings my friend. Namaste.
