My name is Robert Aceves,
And I welcome you to this guided meditation to purify your mind and relieve stress while you sleep.
Begin by finding a quiet place where nobody will interrupt you.
Lie down in a comfortable position.
Let's begin.
Take a deep breath in,
And as you exhale,
Allow your body to relax.
That's it.
Close your eyes.
Now,
Gently bring your attention to the top of your head.
Slowly,
Let your awareness travel down your body,
Relaxing each part as you go.
Feel the top of your head soften,
Moving down to your forehead and letting go of any tension in your temples.
Relaxing your eyes and the muscles around your eyes.
Relaxing your cheeks and relaxing your jaw,
Allowing your neck and your shoulders to release any tightness,
And feeling a wave of relaxation moving down your arms all the way down to your fingertips.
Continue down your chest and your back,
Feeling this relaxation energy going down as you allow your breath to flow easily and naturally.
Feel your belly rise and fall gently with each breath and allow any tightness in your lower back to melt away.
Relaxing your hips,
Relaxing your thighs,
Relaxing your knees,
And relaxing your calves.
Finally,
Let go of any tension in your ankles and your feet.
Feel your entire body now completely relaxed,
Sinking into a state of peaceful calm.
That's it.
And now,
We're going to go a little deeper.
I'm going to count to three,
And when I say three,
You're going to feel even more relaxed and you're going to also feel your concentration going even deeper.
One,
Feeling how your body is becoming heavier and heavier.
Two,
Feeling how your mind is becoming more relaxed.
And three,
Feel how your whole body and your mind are now completely relaxed.
As you let your body and your mind relax even more,
You're going to feel even more relaxed.
Imagine yourself standing at the entrance of a serene ancient temple high in the mountains.
The air is fresh and crisp,
Filled with a faint scent of blooming flowers and pine trees.
You hear the gentle sounds of nature and distant harmonious chanting,
Creating a soothing symphony around you.
As you step inside the temple,
You are greeted by a kind guide who leads you through the peaceful courtyard and into a sacred room where a celestial sand mandala is being created.
The room is filled with a sense of tranquility and reverence.
Before you is a large table covered in a beautiful,
Intricate design made entirely of colored sand.
This is the celestial sand mandala,
A representation of a divine realm of peace and harmony.
This mandala was made specifically for you to help you in your spiritual development.
You can see millions of grains of colored sand meticulously placed to form elaborate patterns and symbols.
At the heart of this mandala is a lotus upon a throne,
Symbolizing purity and enlightenment,
Surrounded by an eight-petal lotus flower.
Take a moment to appreciate the dedication and precision that went into creating this masterpiece.
That's it.
Now,
Imagine yourself shrinking down in size,
Becoming small enough to step into the mandala itself.
You find yourself standing at the eastern gate,
Where a blue gem symbolizes wisdom.
As you enter,
You feel a sense of profound peace and protection.
Being in this place also helps you to clear your mind and purify your energy from the deepest parts of yourself.
Walking clockwise,
You pass the southern gate with its red petal and golden jewel,
Symbolizing abundance and generosity.
Feeling the energy in this room,
Continue to the northern gate with a green symbol of courage.
Feeling the sensation of confidence taking over your body.
That's it.
You walk towards the western gate with a white symbol of clarity and truth.
Here,
You can feel your mind becoming more clear and being able to see through any confusion in your mind,
Clearing the negative energy.
You leave with a feeling of wisdom.
As you continue your journey through the mandala,
You are surrounded by symbols of wisdom,
Generosity,
Courage,
And truth.
Feel their presence offering you insight,
Compassion,
And protection.
That's it.
You've now reached the central palace,
Where you find a radiant lotus throne.
Standing in front of you,
Surrounded by walls made of colored glass,
It's a beautiful representation of clarity and enlightenment.
You feel enveloped in a sense of understanding and peace.
The floor beneath you is divided into four triangles,
Each in the color of its particular direction.
Blue,
Gold,
Green,
And white.
You look around and see the magnificent gates adorned with beautiful hangings,
Painted pillars,
And carved decorations.
At the top of each gate is a symbol of harmony and peace,
Inviting all who enter to experience tranquility.
As you step outside the main walls of the palace,
You find yourself in a beautiful garden.
The garden is filled with vibrant flowers,
Each containing a symbol of one of the eight treasures representing various virtues.
There are clouds in the sky around the gates,
And the air is filled with a sense of pure serenity.
As you stand in the garden,
Surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of the mandala,
You take a deep breath in and feel a wave of enlightenment washing over you,
Knowing that this mandala,
Created to bring peace and harmony,
Is a reflection of your own inner potential for enlightenment.
Feel the positive qualities of compassion and wisdom fill your heart and mind.
Visualize yourself radiating these qualities out into the world,
Bringing peace and harmony to all beings.
Continue breathing and feeling this beautiful serenity and peace surrounding your body,
Knowing that you can come back to this place whenever you like.
This ancient temple,
Full of wisdom,
Is available to you,
And you know this.
For now,
You may choose to continue to rest and sleep for as long as you want,
And when you're ready to come back to the present,
You'll slowly bring your awareness back to the present moment,
Feeling so much better,
Full of energy,
Carrying with you the sense of peace,
Compassion,
And enlightenment you have experienced,
Knowing that the celestial sand mandala remains within your heart,
A symbol of your own potential for perfect harmony.
Thank you for listening,
And I'll talk to you soon.
Rest.
Sleep.
