So coming into a comfortable position where you won't be disturbed.
If you need to,
Feel free to cover your eyes.
And then just notice the weight of the body resting upon the surface beneath you.
Draw your awareness to the points of contact with that surface.
And then just allow the front body to soften and relax.
Notice the weight of the back of the body pulling down towards the surface beneath you too.
And allowing the shoulders to soften gently away from the ears.
And now in your imagination take yourself into a beautiful woodland setting.
It's a summer's afternoon and the sun's rays filter through the leaves of the trees creating a dappled surface upon a path that stretches out ahead of you.
Your feet sense the texture of the soil beneath them,
Cushioned and comforted by the earth itself.
You hear the faint sound of insects around you,
The buzzing of bees and the sound of birds flying high above up in the tree tops.
You take a deep breath into your heart centre,
Softening the shoulders.
You relax into the surroundings.
You slowly begin to walk along the pathway.
Your senses are alive with the sounds,
The smells and the texture of the soil beneath your feet.
The warmth of the sun catches upon your face,
Soothing and relaxing the mind.
As you continue to walk you sense your body softening and relaxing deeper,
Creating an even further contact with Mother Nature herself.
Above you the trees form a canopy,
An archway for which you are to be walked through.
And beyond you see a circle of stones in the distance.
As you approach an entrance,
An opening appears and you step through into the centre of the circle itself.
A column of light flows down from the sky above,
Falling upon a stone column that stands within the centre.
Upon the surface of the stone you see inscribed a series of symbols and in the centre of each a glistening colourful gemstone.
You turn with your back towards the column,
Allowing the strength of the stone to support your body.
You sense the power of the rock as it holds your back straight,
Your feet firmly planted on the earth beneath.
You sense a tingling at the base of the spine.
The root chakra is activated by the red gemstone within the column itself.
The light flows through from the column,
Streaming through the back body,
Forming a warm energetic glow within the base of your spine.
You sense the energy that the stone emits.
You feel grounded and connected to the earth beneath you.
Keeping the warmth and vibration of the root chakra,
Your focus moves upwards to the sacral point.
A warm bright orange light shines from the column,
The gemstone's energy flowing through into your sacral chakra point.
Your creative spark,
Your fire is ignited.
You sense the energy of the orange light as it moves around your system.
And drawing in that orange light,
Your focus shifts upwards towards the solar plexus.
At your centre of personal power and emotional balance,
The stone column emits a vibrant yellow glow.
You sense its warmth filling the back body,
Emitting a radiating light through to the solar plexus point.
You take a deep inhale and absorb the vibrant yellow tone through the body,
Allowing its light to energise and balance the system.
Your awareness grows upwards to your heart centre.
You sense the expansion as the breath creates space.
The column emits a beautiful green light.
You feel its warmth flowing through the back body,
Filling the chest cavity and the heart centre.
You take a deep breath,
Inhaling that green light throughout the whole of the physical body,
Allowing its light to fill the energetic field around you.
Your awareness flows up towards the throat chakra and from the stone column is emitted a luminous turquoise light.
Your sense of self,
Your expression,
Your creativity is brought into alignment with the flow of the turquoise light.
You sense a tingling sensation upon the scalp as the white light penetrates the head,
Flows down through the neck,
The torso and out to a point between the heels,
Away into the earth.
This column of light connecting you to those of higher wisdom,
Your ancestors and to the earth itself.
You take a deep inhale and exhale,
You draw that white light further down into the earth beneath you.
You bring your awareness to each of the energy centres located within the physical body and allowing those glows of light to travel from the physical self and fill the auric field around you.
You sense the balance and alignment that each colour creates your system in perfect harmony at this time.
Feeling balanced and aligned,
You step away from the stone column,
You exit the circle of stones and take the path back through the woodland,
Slowly and consciously aware of your surroundings.
At the end of the path,
You pause,
Giving thanks to those that were present to support you on this journey.
Imagine now bringing your awareness back to the physical body and the surface upon which you rest.
Take a deep inhale into the abdomen,
Softening the spine and allowing the breath to flow through each and every part of the body.
Gently wriggle the fingers and the toes,
Rotate the wrists and the ankles and then when you are ready,
Preparing to open your eyes.
