Welcome to this Reiki rest meditation.
My name is Nicole and I'll be your guide.
To begin,
I invite you to find your way into a comfortable position,
Either seated or lying down if that feels best for you.
And taking whatever adjustments are needed for you to feel comfortable and at ease.
You might want to place a cushion under your knees,
Wrap yourself in a blanket,
Or loosen any tight clothing.
You can drop your eyes closed if you haven't already,
Or soften your gaze.
Inviting you to bring your awareness to your breath and begin to notice your natural breathing without changing anything,
Just observing.
Feeling the gentle rise and fall of your chest,
The subtle movement of air in and out of your nose.
And when you're ready,
Start deepening your breath.
Inhale slowly,
Letting your belly expand,
And exhale even more slowly,
Seeing if you can release and soften any tension you might be carrying with your exhale.
Long,
Slow,
Full,
Deep inhale,
Filling up your belly.
You might hold your breath in for a beat or two at the top of your inhale,
And a long,
Slow,
Full exhale.
With each breath,
Allowing yourself to soften a little more,
To sink into the surface beneath you,
Supporting you.
And tuning into your body to see how many of these long,
Slow,
Deep,
And full inhales and exhales your body wants and needs right now.
And whenever you're ready,
You can return your breath to its normal pace and rhythm,
While keeping your attention and awareness resting on your breath.
On each inhale and exhale,
Feeling the sensation of your breath as it comes into your body,
Filling up your lungs and abdomen.
And as you release and clear the oxygen out with each exhale,
Inviting you now to shift your awareness to your feet,
And visualize roots growing from the soles of your feet,
Extending down deep into the earth.
And feel these roots connecting you to Mother Earth,
Establishing a connection,
A oneness,
Tuning in to the support and stability of being held and connected to Mother Earth.
And as you inhale,
Inviting and welcoming in the grounding,
Strong,
Nurturing energy from Mother Earth,
Pulling that back in through the roots up into your body,
Through the soles of your feet,
Welcoming in healing energy from Mother Earth,
Welcoming care from Mother Earth,
Allowing yourself to be held and cared for and nurtured,
Connected to the earth's steady presence,
Inviting Reiki energy to fill the air that you breathe,
Surrounding,
Supporting you as well.
And as you breathe in,
Breathing in the healing light of Reiki,
Breathing in the healing,
Peaceful,
Loving,
Loving,
Healing energy of Reiki.
And as you breathe this energy in,
Connecting to your heart,
And to the love and peace and compassion within you,
Allowing Reiki to assist and help you to establish the connection with your heart,
With your inner bright light opening up your heart,
Expanding that bright light within.
And as you exhale,
Releasing and letting go of stress,
Tension,
Worries,
And fears.
You can send that back down,
Back down into the earth,
Allowing Mother Earth to take that from you,
Allowing Mother Earth to carry and hold your burdens,
And to transform and transmute the stress,
The tension,
The pain,
And the worries,
To heal,
Transform,
And transmute it into something beautiful.
And as you breathe in the light of Reiki,
The light within you continues to expand,
Grow,
Grow,
Awaken.
Being open and willing to be connected,
Aligned and one with this healing energy always available to you.
Being open and willing to receive whatever it is that you need in this moment in time.
And allowing the wisdom of Reiki and Mother Earth to care for you and tend to your needs.
And we'll sit together in stillness for a while,
Soaking up this healing,
Nurturing energy,
Allowing it to go wherever it's needed in your heart,
In your mind,
Body,
And spirit.
Soaking it up,
Relaxing,
Receiving,
Being cared for and nurtured.
I'll mind the time,
And I'll let you know when it's time to return.
I'll be back to the sound of my voice.
Gently bringing in a few soft breaths.
If it's comfortable,
You can place a hand or two on your heart.
And imagine that there's a ball of golden light at the palm of your hand.
And this light is shining its rays of Reiki into your heart center,
Into your heart space.
And as you inhale,
Your heart opens up to receive this healing light.
Begin to gently transition out of our practice.
And the first step will be inviting in the energy of gratitude and appreciation.
And just for today,
May we be grateful for our many,
Many blessings.
And just for today,
May we be compassionate and kind with ourselves and others.
Bringing in a few more mindful breaths.
And you might start bringing some movement to your body.
You might wiggle your fingers or toes,
Take some gentle stretches if that feels right.
And taking as much time as you want and need.
And if you're not ready to transition out of this practice,
You can continue even after the recording is over.
If you're ready to conclude,
You can gently open your eyes.
I want to thank you for practicing with me today.
I wish you a beautiful day.
Be well.
