This is a meditation journey to connect to a place of deep healing and rejuvenation.
Come to a comfortable laying down position.
You may use a pillow underneath your head and a bolster underneath the legs.
Allow the legs to spill open.
Allow the palms to turn up in a gesture of receiving.
Take this time to fidget around until you feel completely at ease.
There is a reciprocal give and take through each inhale and through each exhale.
The power of the breath connects to the power of nature.
And so with each inhale and exhale,
You connect to this natural law of reciprocity,
This cycle of healing that is innate to the breath.
And through the breath,
You start a journey of moving to a place of deep restoration,
Physically,
Mentally,
Emotionally,
Spiritually.
Bring your awareness to the feet,
Connecting a grounding sensation down to the feet,
Like roots of a tree growing down towards the center of the earth.
And feel the roots of this tree originating from up the legs,
From the hips,
And from the trunk of the body,
Specifically the spine and the spinal cord.
And whatever tree it is that you have now slowly become,
Embody that through the breath.
And each inhale to grow this tree,
And each exhale to root this tree.
Bring your mind's eye to the roots of this tree that is you.
And imagine as if you could travel down these roots and follow the roots as they move down,
Down,
Down towards the center of the earth.
And these roots,
They grow so far because they yearn for that deep connection of returning home.
And so we continue moving down,
Down,
Down,
Down,
Down,
Down,
Down,
Down,
Down,
Down,
Down towards the center of the earth.
We feel all the nutrients from the soil,
The soft coolness of the water underneath the bedrock,
And all the different layers of the earth.
The rocks,
The crystals,
The minerals,
Through caves,
Moving through layers of time and history.
And soon we will arrive at our place of healing that is in the center of the earth.
And with the next breath,
We are there.
You have now been transported into this place of deep healing,
Of deep rest.
Observe the surroundings.
The sky is different here.
The earth is different.
The water,
The air,
Even the fire,
All of the elements here move in a magical flow that is designed to cater an experience of deep,
Deep rest.
You connect to these magical elements and you feel them traveling through the body to release anything that does not belong,
Any patterns that may be stuck,
Cells that have been tangled in patterns of stress.
And using the elements,
You remind them that they are free,
That they are in flow with the life force energy that runs through your veins.
And you remind them that everything will be okay.
Now is the time to let go all that is keeping us from embodying our purest essence,
Our simplest state of being.
So we feel the elements of fire burning away,
Transforming anything that needs it.
The feet of the legs into the organs of the chest and the heart,
Inflaming the heart with passion up the neck and into the brain and the skull,
Transforming any thoughts that are negative,
Any doubts,
Any fears.
You feel the element of water flowing through the blood like rivers and streams,
Small bodies of water linking to larger bodies of water in a beautiful orchestra that is the flow of life and it is perfectly orchestrated through the breath.
Feel how the waters that run through the body purify,
Recycle and clean anything that is unclean.
Connecting to the element of air through the breath.
The breath is the master communicator of these elements.
It allows the water to flow.
It allows the fire to move.
The breath invigorates with life force,
With prana,
With vitality.
Feel that.
And finally,
The earth,
The earth in the bones,
In the muscles,
Reflecting our external support which is Mother Earth.
We feel her holding us,
Nurturing us.
Because we feel this support,
We surrender more deeply into it.
We are the earth.
The earth is us.
And all of these elements reside in her,
In me.
I am the elements.
The elements are me.
Continue feeling the flow of all these elements spiraling up and down,
Left and right,
All around the body,
The mind,
The spirit.
This is your birthright,
The ability to connect to the source of what created you,
To connect to the elemental forces of nature.
With each breath,
Receive healing,
Blessings.
With each exhale,
Offer anything that is unclean,
Anything that feels stuck or tense.
Offer that out to the universe,
To the earth,
Knowing that she will gladly receive that and recycle it for you to intake more healing,
More peace,
More rest.
So for the last few moments,
Receive as much as you can receive.
This is your time.
And now,
It is time to leave this place of deep healing and rest,
Knowing that you can always return in the future at any point in time.
And so for now,
We make our leave of this great place.
With gratitude,
You thank Mother Earth.
You thank the elemental forces for reminding you,
For helping you to connect more deeply to yourself.
And you travel back,
Retracing your steps from the roots.
You move up,
Up,
Up.
You ascend up,
Up,
Up.
Through the caves,
The different layers of rocks and sediment and soil,
And the rivers under the bedrock,
Until you arrive in the tree in which you began this journey.
And it is a new day.
The sun is out and shining overhead.
And each and every branch,
Each and every leaf in your tree is smiling at the sun.
The sun is smiling at you.
And so you honor that and you thank the sun for being your source of rejuvenation,
Of limitless energy.
Continue breathing that in.
Enjoy that for as long as you need.
When you are ready,
Whenever that is,
Take five deep breaths in and out to come back into the room.
Take your time.
