This meditation would be best enjoyed along with Geranium essential oil in your aromatherapy diffuser or to have a drop of the oil on a tissue to gently waft under your nose.
An alternative could be to have some fresh Geranium from your garden picked for you to sniff as you listen in to this recording.
Ensure you are in a comfortable position and that you can relax for these moments without being interrupted.
Firstly,
Just relax into your position,
Closing your eyes and feeling the weight of your body.
Feel the movement of air into and out of your lungs,
Breathing in and then out.
There's no need to force the breath,
Simply let it flow.
Breathing in and then out.
Notice the gentle flow of air into your body and out again.
Breathing in and then out.
Now bring your awareness to the essential oil aroma entering your moment of peace.
Breathe in that aroma and then let it flow out.
Let the smell enter your nose,
Going down into your lungs as you breathe.
Breathing it in and then out.
As you breathe in the Geranium,
Imagine that the essential oil brings its properties of emotional support.
Geranium is the oil of love and trust.
It restores your confidence in the innate goodness of others and in the world around you.
It encourages honesty,
Love and forgiveness.
This gentle oil leads you away from your logical mind and into the warmth and nurturing of your heart space.
Feel the comfort that Geranium brings into your body.
Breathe the oil into your heart center.
Feel it enter your lungs and your chest and it radiates through you and over you.
Like a loving embrace from an elder,
Geranium nurtures your inner child and helps to release impactful emotions.
It reopens the heart so that love may flow freely,
Healing from within.
Feel your body relax as the oil enters it.
Imagine the comfort and peace from the essential oil spreading throughout your body as it fills your lungs and then enters your bloodstream and moves into your entire being.
Imagine the Geranium filling every space within your body.
Each organ is coming in contact with it and a peaceful sensation comes too.
The aroma fills your torso,
Your abdomen.
It runs over your liver,
Your kidneys,
Your colon and into your sacral cavity.
It sits in the well that is your pelvis.
The aroma fills your sinuses,
Your ears and up into your skull.
The scent-filled air is covering your brain and it washes away your distractions and thoughts.
Relax in this blissful moment and let your mind be still.
If you find your thoughts drifting,
Gently bring them back to the aroma and the movement of the scent-filled air in your body,
Breathing it in and then out.
Serenity swirls over you and through you as the scent of Geranium becomes a part of you.
Peace becomes a part of you.
Let the aroma cleanse your body,
Your mind,
Your spirit.
Feel your chest and your abdomen expand with the aromatic breath and then the slow release as the air returns outward.
Let the Geranium wash away anxiety,
Worry,
Stress and tension,
Leaving you feeling consoled,
Soothed,
Balanced,
Assured.
And when you are ready,
Bring your awareness back to your breath,
Back to your physical body,
Back into the space that you're in and the environment around you.
Take the serenity and support of Geranium with you as you return to conscious living.
And as you go about your day,
If stress and tension return,
Simply go back to the aroma of Geranium to bring you to calm.
