Welcome to a trickle space where the soothing presence of puffins guide us on a serene meditation journey.
Find a comfortable position and just feel where you're sitting.
Have a look around and anchor yourself into your own beautiful space.
Close your eyes and let the rhythm of your breath bring you into a state of relaxation.
Follow the flow of breathing in and out.
Feel how your environment is keeping you safe and into a calm and relaxation place.
Connect in with your body and make sure that every part of you is slowly landing into this place.
Imagine yourself standing on the rugged shores of Newfoundland and Labrador,
Surrounded by the fresh scent of the sea breeze.
The sound of gentle waves lapping against the rocks create a calming melody.
You can connect with the sound and the rhythm of the water.
Connect it to your breath and feel how it's going in and out.
In the distance you can see a group of puffins gracefully gliding through the air,
Their vibrant beaks catching the sunlight.
As you take a deep breath in,
Feel the cool and beautiful air filling your lungs.
Picture the puffins,
The clowns of the sea,
Flaying,
Diving,
Soaring,
Being in joy to the coastal landscape.
Embrace the joy,
Embrace the humor they bring.
And allow the lightness to wash over you.
Now envision the puffins landing on the water and quickly swimming beneath the surface.
Feel how you are diving with them as they navigate the depth and notice their ability and grace.
Notice your own ability,
How you are navigating the ebb and flow of joining these beautiful puffins in their movements.
While you're playing and moving with these beautiful animals,
Embrace the idea that like the puffin you can move through different elements with resilience and flexibility.
Take a moment to be here and connect with some moments in your day,
In your life,
That your resilience and flexibility was really present.
Connect with the emotions that are being present with this and feel how you've done that and how strong you are.
Notice that together with the puffin you're walking back on the shore and you're feeling grounded and you're playing.
Sometimes you trip and get back up and it's really a lot of fun.
You feel how you can be authentically you.
Connect with a loud laughter and notice how the sounds of the puffins invite you to express yourself.
Find a place to sit down and feel the warmth of these moments,
These reflections that you've been connecting with.
How they are connected to your own life with your resilience,
Your flexibility,
Your communication.
And then with an in-breath and out-breath connect with relationships that you have around you.
Relationships that bring you joy and fulfillment.
Relationships with other souls that lift you up.
Just lean against these emotions and energies and let it wash over you and feel the big smile that you have on your face.
That there are so many amazing souls around you.
With these experiences and with these beautiful souls you've created your own family.
A family where it's okay to share responsibilities,
A family that keeps you safe and you keep them safe.
A family that you have created a loving environment.
This connects you with your own faith,
Your own values.
These beautiful souls around you,
They encourage you and give you confidence,
Help you to be optimistic and generous.
And being around this community,
This family,
These amazing souls,
They help you find your wings.
They help you to fly and dive.
They help you to swim and dive deeply into new adventures and then you know you can come up for air and be grounded again with them and share stories and lift each other up.
Take a moment and be here and go on your own journey with the puffins.
See where it's going to take you.
Go fly,
Go swim.
Just be open and curious.
And while you're being on your beautiful journey with the puffin,
Reflect on yourself and connect with the qualities that you bring to your beautiful environment,
To your family,
To your community.
Embrace yourself with the wisdom that you have within you and that you share with others.
And how you are being loved for being you,
Being different,
Being unique.
Know that this uniqueness is what the world needs at this moment.
Connect with that beautiful seed,
That beautiful you that the puffin is showing you in reflection of the wind and reflection of the water.
And then feel how you're coming back to the beautiful beach and in this amazing,
Tranquil setting,
Let the rhythm of the waves and the gentle calls of the puffin guide you into a deeper state of relaxation.
Feel a sense of peace and contentment over you like the puffins settling into their burrows,
Surrounding by comfort of home.
Feel how that home is within you,
How you can always connect with that peace,
With your home,
Being home with yourself.
And then slowly bring your awareness back to the present moment.
Start to feel and connect with the sounds around you.
Sense and feel the chair around you,
You're sitting,
Where you're being carried.
Carry the spirit of the puffin with you.
Feel a renewed sense of joy,
A renewed sense of peace.
Adaptability and connection within.
And when you open your eyes,
May you approach life with the grace and resilience of puffins.
Navigate the current with a light heart and a sense of humor.
Take a moment to savor this experience,
This connection with you.
And whenever you need a retreat to this peaceful sanctuary,
Remember the puffins guiding you to this place,
This place of serenity,
Peaceful joy,
A place of home.
And when you're ready,
Take a deep breath in and really connect with the things around you.
Ground yourself back into your own space.
And welcome back.
