This meditation uses aromatherapy with the essential oils of tangerine and uranium.
Ensure you are in a comfortable position and that you can relax for these moments without being interrupted.
Firstly,
Just relax into your position,
Close your eyes and feel the weight of your body.
Feel the movement of air into and out of your lungs.
Breathing in and then out.
There is 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 it in and then let it flow out.
Let the smell enter your nose going down into your lungs as you breathe.
Can you smell the two component essential oils?
The floral and yet herbaceous geranium and the citrusy tangerine.
Really try to focus on distinguishing the two different smells.
Now breathe them in together,
Both oils blending as one to create that beautiful smell.
Feel the aromatic air entering your nostrils and passing down into your lungs.
Breathe it in and then out.
As you breathe in the essential oils,
Imagine that they each bring with them their individual properties of emotional support.
Geranium,
The oil of love and trust.
Geranium restores your confidence in the innate goodness of others and in the world around us.
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 centre.
Feel it into your lungs and chest and radiate through you and over you.
Like a loving embrace,
Geranium nurtures the inner child and releases negative 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 then 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 with that.
The aroma fills your torso and 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 covers your brain,
Washes away your distraction and thoughts.
The serenity swills over you and through you as the aroma 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 abdomen expand with the aromatic breath and the slow release as the air returns outward.
Let the geranium wash away anxiety and worry,
Stress and tension leaving you feeling consoled,
Soothed,
Balanced,
Assured.
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 in and then out.
Now take your awareness to the essential oil of tangerine.
The oil of the oil of cheer and creativity.
Tangerine has a joyfulness that will lighten the darkest of moods.
As the inner child was comforted by geranium,
Now let tangerine bring a childlike lightness of heart.
Release feelings of responsibility and breathe in spontaneity and optimism.
Imagine the essential oil as an energy source,
A lifeblood as it once was for the plant from which it was extracted.
It has now been preciously given to you.
Give thanks and feel gratitude for this treasure that the earth has provided.
Feel the energy of the oil as it enters your nostrils.
Feel that energy become a part of your being.
As you breathe in,
Feel it invigorate you,
Renew you,
Rejuvenate you,
Awaken you.
Become aware of the energy reaching every corner and crevice of your body.
Down your arms and into your hands and fingers.
Down your legs and into your feet and toes.
Into your chest,
Filling your heart space.
Up into your brain and filling your mind.
With each in-breath,
Feel the awakening in your soul,
Your spirit renewed.
The negative energy has been dispelled and you are filled with an aroma of bliss and joy.
Breathing it in and out.
Feel creativity and enthusiasm move through your veins and into your organs and throughout your body.
Let the aroma be a warmth radiating within you.
Feel love and enjoyment and kindness and yet still peace.
When the moment feels right,
Slowly and gently open your eyes.
Be ready to let your creativity flow,
Adding fun to your daily tasks.
Be trusting in yourself and those around you.
Feel abundance,
Optimism and lightheartedness.
Take tangerine and uranium with you.
