Hello,
My name is Jacqueline and I am a very proud grandma.
I write guided
meditations for my grandchildren and I'm happy to share them with you too.
Meditation is a great way to receive guidance,
Answers to our questions or
positive words to inspire us to do and achieve things.
As you journey through
this visualization you will be given words of wisdom from a very special bird
so keep your mind open and be ready to use your imagination.
Let's begin.
Make
yourself comfortable either sitting or lying down.
Wiggle a little and make
yourself really comfy as you allow your body to completely relax.
Now take a deep
breath in and as you breathe out gently close your eyes.
Take another deep breath
in then relax your shoulders as you breathe out.
And now we are ready to
begin.
In your mind's eye you look out of your window and see that snow has been
falling.
There is a lot of snow which looks so pretty as it sparkles in the
sunlight.
Although you know how cold the snow is it does look inviting and you
decide to go outside.
You wrap a scarf around your neck before putting on a
warm coat.
You slip your feet into your boots and then pull a woollen hat onto
your head making sure your ears are tucked inside.
Then you put on your
woollen gloves and you are ready.
Wrapped up warm and eager to explore outside in
the snow.
Leaving your house you walk down the road.
You are the only person
out.
Everyone else must be warm and cozy in their homes.
It is very calming and
peaceful outside.
You look around enjoying the beauty of the sparkling
snowflakes nestled protectively on the bushes and trees.
The only sound you can
hear is the crunch of fresh snow under your boots with every step you take.
The
picturesque view you see before you looks like thousands of tiny crystals.
And the beauty of it all causes you to take a deep breath in as you feel
grateful for this very special weather.
Snow cover helps regulate the temperature
of the earth's surface and when the snow melts the water helps fill rivers and
reservoirs.
You breathe out and notice your breath.
Frosty breath.
You feel like
a dragon breathing fire.
Your breath looks quite mystical as it floats up
into the air and then it disappears before your eyes.
It's cold out here and
the air nips at your nose but that doesn't bother you.
You take more deep
breaths in and out.
As you watch your frosty breath float before you it begins
to form shapes.
Hearts,
Stars and then a smiley face.
Then the shapes turn into
words.
You breathe out and see the word joy.
Then you see the word fun.
Then
amazing.
And the final word is believe.
You realise the words and shapes are giving you
inspiration to trust in yourself and your dreams whilst appreciating life.
With your
heart inspired you walk on a little further enjoying the crunchy sound with every step
you take.
Suddenly you hear another noise.
It appears to be coming from a nearby tree.
You look over at the tree and you see a large owl sitting way up on a branch.
The owl is
looking at you.
It hoots and you sense it has a message for you.
You walk over to the
tree just as the owl moves down to a lower branch to be closer to you.
As you look into
the owl's eyes the owl hoots.
Using your mind you realise you can understand his message.
You listen.
This message is about working hard and learning everything you can whilst exploring
life and making fun memories.
You continue listening to this very wise owl.
With his
message delivered the owl flies away.
You are grateful for his words of encouragement.
It's
beginning to feel colder now so you turn and walk back to your house.
Once again the only sound you
can hear is the crunch of snow with every step you take as you walk slowly home.
It begins to
snow.
You look up at the sky.
The tiny snowflakes fall softly upon your face.
They feel quite
refreshing and make you smile.
Then you realise it is the little things in life which bring you
the greatest happiness.
You hold your hand out and a large snowflake lands upon your glove.
You look
at it and are amazed by its beauty.
It is so delicate and so unique.
As it begins to melt you
sense the message this snowflake is sending to you.
You are also beautiful.
You are also unique.
You are
also delicate and must always be kind to yourself.
The snow is falling heavier as you arrive home.
Going
indoors you remove your gloves,
Hat,
Coat,
Boots and scarf.
You settle down and make yourself comfortable as
you remember the messages you have received.
All things you have needed to hear.
With a happy heart and a feeling of
contentment with your life it is time to end this meditation.
Take a breath in as you wiggle your toes and fingers and as you
breathe out gently open your eyes.
Notice how you are feeling.
You should feel happy and inspired by all the amazing messages you have
received.
Use this positive energy as you go about your day knowing that you can return to this meditation at any time.
Thank you for
meditating with me.
Before you go I would like to ask you a question.
What is your favourite thing to do in the snow?
Thank you for taking this
journey with me.
In the comments let me know how this meditation has helped you today.
Bye for now.
