Hi and welcome to this guided meditation and a moment to allow the wisdom of nature to guide you towards your authentic light.
First,
Make yourself comfortable,
Either seated or laying down,
Whichever feels appropriate for you at this time.
Inhale to replenish and take a long slow exhale to release any tension and physical discomfort.
Soften the body and surrender to the flow of the breath.
Inhale up to the crown of the head and exhale to relinquish any thoughts.
Inhale once again to rejuvenate and exhale to connect with your own inner stillness.
Now visualize yourself within an ancient pine forest,
Breathing the freshness of the autumn evening air,
The sounds of nature and notice the long thin shafts of light flooding through the trees.
The pine needles of previous seasons form a soft and soothing textured carpet,
Reassuring your presence and closeness to the earth.
You relax and grow heavy,
Conscious of the rhythmic movement in your abdomen,
Your breath in unison with the earth's resonance itself.
Nature sounds comfort and still the mind,
The leaves of the trees releasing a delicate rustle,
Holding you in the moment of completeness,
One foot forward and then the other.
Shoulders surrender to the pull of the earth and your arms sway easily as the gentle breeze comforts the surface of the skin.
Mindful of each physical sensation,
First through the soles of the feet,
Gradually rising through the legs,
The torso,
The neck.
You walk slowly,
Each step guiding you into a place of enhanced connection with the life force flowing in and around you.
The warm light of the setting sun catches the corner of your eye and you turn to pause,
Drinking in the light as it warms your face and neck,
Seeping through the shoulders,
The arms and the hands.
Ahead,
A soaring pine tree penetrates a coral toned stream of light.
You glance up to bathe in the light drenched sky and then inch by inch allow your vision to flow down the tips of the branches,
The gentle moving leaves along the length of the trunk to the point where it meets the denseness of the forest floor.
You trace the elongated shadow that fractures the earth's illuminated surface until you are gazing down to the point where the shadow brushes across the tips of your toes.
Consciously treading along the shadow marked path,
You take a moment to acknowledge what you'd like to release from your life at this moment.
Which is heavy and shading you from stepping into the authentic light being that you are.
See each step as a moment of total surrender,
To let go and sacrifice any limitations of the past,
Allowing the light to either side to support and hold you as you tread this path at this time.
Relinquish suffering,
Fear and control and instead bring your awareness to the vibration of the warm light that surrounds you.
This is luminous,
Expansive and authentic.
The version of you that flows around obstacles,
That lightens darkness and radiates abundant strength and life force energy.
Drawing closer to the tree,
Your gaze settles upon the textured rough surface of the trunk.
You caress the surface,
The signs of age and gathered wisdom.
You inhale deeply and exhale to acknowledge your journey this far.
Your hands raise gracefully to embrace the trunk.
You allow your senses to lead you around the tree and into the sunlight.
Heat floods over the back of the body,
The shoulders,
Your forehead gently pressed against the tree's trunk is soothed and reassured by the warm firm surface.
The arms relax and soften and gradually you turn to face the last rays of coral pink light that form a dazzling canopy above.
In the light and holding your awareness at the heart space,
Ask for what you desire to flow within your life.
Visualise the intention as the radiance and power of the sun energy.
Feel it pulsating through each and every cell and fibre of your being.
Allow it to soften areas of resistance,
To flow freely in,
Through and around.
In this intimate state of connection,
You await the setting sun,
When the light passes beneath the horizon and when dreams and intentions are nurtured into fruition.
Each day welcomes you a new cycle,
An opportunity for change and renewal.
