Hello and welcome to this guided meditation,
Reconnecting with the elementals.
Find a comfortable place to sit or lie down,
Somewhere you can be at ease and undisturbed for a little while.
Let your body settle,
Feel the contact points,
Your legs,
Your back,
Your hands and notice the gentle pull of gravity holding you.
This is your space now,
Let yourself soften into it.
Take a deep breath in and gently release it,
Again a deep breath and as you exhale begin to soften into your body.
With each breath feel yourself becoming more present,
More grounded.
Now bring your awareness to your feet,
Imagine roots growing from the soles of your feet gently reaching down into the soil.
These roots stretch deeper and deeper through layers of rock and crystal,
Soil and memory until they reach the heart of Mother Earth.
Right in the middle of the Earth.
Her warmth greets you and your roots wrap around her heart like an embrace.
You sit here now in sacred connection with her,
Feeling her breath,
Her heartbeat,
Her vast presence.
In this space of connection you are invited to call forth the ancient elemental kin,
The prime forces that shaped the world and once walked openly among us.
Fire,
First born of the stars,
Sacred keeper of transformation and will.
Call it forth now.
It may appear to you as a coiling serpent of flame,
A radiant ember,
A torch held by unseen hands.
Invite it into this sacred circle.
Let its heat awaken your passion,
Its light illuminate your inner truth.
Take a few moments to breathe,
Feel and allow the presence of fire,
Water,
Ancient memory,
Flowing heart of the world.
Summon it now.
Perhaps you feel it as rippling waves or silver mist,
Soft rain or a quiet stream.
Let it move with you.
Carry its forgotten songs,
Soothe and stir the depths of your emotion.
Take a few moments to breathe,
Feel and allow the presence of water,
Breath of the unseen,
Keeper of change and spirit.
Invite it now.
You may sense a cool breeze,
A sudden gust,
The gentle brushing of invisible wings.
Allow it to move freely,
Lifting your thoughts,
Stirring your spirit.
Take a few moments to breathe,
Feel and allow the presence of air,
Earth,
Eldest of all,
Bone and body of the mother.
Call upon this steady presence.
It may come to you through the sense of stillness,
The feeling of roots,
The silent strength beneath your feet.
Let its presence anchor and remind you of your belonging.
Take a few moments to breathe,
Feel and allow the presence of earth.
You may find your spirit drawn more closely to one of these sacred forces.
Follow that pull.
Let it guide you,
Teach you,
Reveal itself through your lived experience.
There is no need for words,
Only knowing.
The elemental bond has been rekindled.
It moves now through your days and the spark of your thoughts,
The pulse of your emotions,
The rhythm of your breath,
The grounding of your body.
Allow it now to appear and be part of your day-to-day life.
They dance together,
These ancient ones,
Never still,
Always weaving,
Fire and water,
Earth and air,
Balancing,
Challenging,
Embracing.
This harmony is within you,
It made you,
It surrounds you.
Now imagine that you are sitting in this circle with these manifestations of each of the elements,
Watching them dance,
Watching them just being them.
Let us wander into the forest.
Imagine a forest you know or one that calls to your heart,
Maybe a childhood grove,
A hidden trail or a dream of trees bathed in green light.
Let the forest come alive around you.
You can feel it,
Can't you?
The hush between the leaves,
The playful energy bouncing off moss and bark,
The sparkling glimmers just out of the corner of your eye.
You are not alone.
The fairies are here.
The tree spirits,
They stretch and sway with the light.
The forest is buzzing with quiet laughter.
Oh yes,
They know you.
You have walked these woods before,
In another time,
Another shape.
They've been waiting ever so patiently for a human heart to come twirling back into their world.
There is no grand entrance needed,
Just your presence,
Just your curiosity.
Your body remembers this kind of magic.
Old,
Playful,
A bit mischievous and utterly loving.
Next time you walk through the woods,
Let yourself wander.
Follow the flicker,
The rustle,
The sense that you're being watched by something giggling.
Don't expect words or signs.
Instead,
Open your heart,
Say a hello,
Wink back.
Let the message arrive through the soles of your feet or the flutter in your chest.
Let the connection sparkle into being.
Let it be easy.
Let it be fun.
The fairies are ready.
The forest remembers.
And the elementals?
They're still here too.
Older than time and closer than breath.
They walk beside you.
They are you.
Take a final breath.
Deep,
Joyful and free.
And when you're ready,
Gently return to your body.
To each finger.
To each arm.
To your own breath.
And to this moment.
Carry the elements and the forest sparkle with you.
This magic is real.
And it has never left you.
