Welcome to this guided meditation journey,
The Garden.
To begin,
You can sit or lie down,
Finding a comfortable position for you today,
And just allowing yourself to arrive here.
Let your breath be soft and gentle,
A natural breath,
Moving in and out of your nostrils,
Allowing any waves of releasing breath to move through you should they arrive.
Take a moment to tune into yourself,
And for this journey today,
I invite you to imagine yourself as the essence and flow of a beautiful garden.
We begin by softening into the pelvis,
Deepening and unfolding,
Unfurling,
Like the roots of a tree,
Rolling down,
Exhaling,
Releasing,
Relaxing,
Expanding,
Sprawling outwards,
Drifting down and outwards.
Wherever these roots of yours want to wander,
And you feel your whole pelvic area following this expansive pathway,
Softening as you breathe,
As you feel,
And notice the energy swirling through your hips,
Your thighs,
The lower part of your abdomen.
And as you allow this whole area to continue to relax,
To soften,
It's as though more space becomes available throughout your whole body.
From the relaxing rooting down,
Reaching into the depths,
A subtle sunlight beginning to shine softly through your upper body,
And you begin to sense that now,
Sinking down into rest.
At the same time,
Part of you is rising up,
Called by sunlight to open,
And you feel a sense of awakening happening within you.
The sunlight stirs you,
A garden is moving within you,
And you feel into the rhythms of this garden that you find yourself experiencing,
Noticing the season you find yourself in,
The time of day,
Noticing the seeds you may have planted the last time you visited here,
Knowing,
And any new ones you would like to plant.
You feel the sense of flowers opening,
Softening,
And you continue to allow your pelvic region to root down,
And the more you relax and root down,
The more sunlight flows,
More and more sweet sunlight begins to shine,
A blooming feeling vibrating through your heart now,
And up to your throat,
Like clearing through woodland to find a beautiful sunlit secret garden,
Opening a gate,
And it releases right up through your head,
And to your crown.
From the relaxing rooting down into the depths,
To the sunlight leading the way,
To the mysteries above and beyond,
Running through all.
You feel the dance happening within you,
Around you,
Noticing that they are one and the same,
And feel how natural and simple this process can be.
You are not forcing anything,
Pushing or pulling,
Simply allowing,
Opening,
Softening,
Noticing,
Watching.
So you watch as your garden blooms today.
You watch the weather,
Patterns of the sunlight,
Moods sweeping through you,
Any scatterings of rain on the seeds,
Just watch.
And now,
You feel this energy reach a stage of completion for today,
Knowing you can return to this scene,
To this state of being anytime you like,
Gently becoming more and more of your physical body,
Noticing any subtle shifts and changes from this simple process in your mood,
Body tension,
And your sense of well-being.
And you can stretch your body if you like.
