Ice Skating Adventure

Be lulled into deep relaxation as you glide across the ice in this peaceful adventure. A time for you to let go of the day and your worries.

Transcript

Welcome.

Thanks for being here.

We have a very cool adventure planned for you.

So let's begin by getting settled and doing a relaxation exercise.

Ideally,

You want to be lying on your back with some support underneath your knees and neck.

But guided meditation also works just fine if you're in a supportive chair.

So wherever you are,

Close your eyes,

Get comfortable,

And take a few deep cleansing breaths.

I'd like you to pay attention to the sound of the music.

I'd like you to picture a warm golden ball of energy hovering just above the top of your scalp.

Let this benevolent sphere enter at the crown of your head and spread into your head and neck.

It's warmth working like a massage for your mind.

Feel your thoughts quieting,

Your jaw and neck muscles softening.

The softly vibrating energy widens a bit and seeps into your shoulders and back.

All the tension in those muscles dissipates as this healing energy radiates through the upper part of your body.

Any tightness you've been holding onto is melting away.

You feel it gently envelop your chest and lungs and your breath moves like a wheel,

Calm and steady.

Now the golden light flows into your lower extremities.

Joints and muscles loosen.

The warmth penetrates.

It's relaxing effect combines with the natural force of gravity and you feel yourself sinking deeper into your cushions,

Deeper into your body.

As this sphere glides down your legs and out through your toes,

You are left deeply relaxed and peaceful,

Ready for the next part of your journey.

We'll be taking your spirit on a winter trip,

But the warmth and peace you're now feeling will stay with you during the entire meditation.

And though we're heading into a new experience,

You'll be safe,

Always tethered to your body through your breath.

You're walking along a snow-covered path surrounded by tall evergreens in mountain fresh air.

A bright blue sky and strong sun blaze overhead.

Take a deep breath and let the cool,

Clean air fill your lungs.

You pick up the scent of pine and hear a hawk call its mate.

The snow crunches underfoot as you walk along.

There's a pair of skates slung over your shoulder and up ahead you catch a glimpse of a large frozen lake.

I'll let you walk and enjoy the view.

I'll let you walk and enjoy the beautiful afternoon.

The lake shimmers like a gem in the sun.

Its mirror-like surface is frozen solid and wavy reflections of clouds and trees dance across the ice.

There's a mossy log for you to sit on and lace up your skates.

The soft,

Supple leather easily slips onto your feet and over your ankles.

The skates are a perfect fit.

Walking to the lake's edge is easier than you expected and you're filled with anticipation.

Looking down,

You see bubbles and leaves caught in time.

There's an inkling of nervousness but then suddenly a wellspring of confidence rises and you step out onto the ice.

After just a few seconds of finding your balance,

You push off toward the glassy interior.

The surface is silky smooth and your blades move across the ice like a hot knife through butter.

With every push and glide,

You're gaining momentum and relaxing into a gentle rhythm that keeps time with the wind.

Now you're leaning into turns,

Right foot crossing left foot crossing right foot.

Your body is strong and capable and your feet know exactly how to propel you forward.

The trees along the bank are a blurred collage of green and brown as you sail down the lake.

A small spray of ice kicks out from your blades as you traverse the curve of the far bank with the freedom you haven't felt since childhood.

Hugging your arms close to your chest,

You bring your back foot around and attempt a gentle spin.

It works.

Feeling ever more confident,

You push into another twirl.

Tilt back your head and let your limbs bend into a graceful arabesque.

The sun flickers through the pine boughs like an old fashioned movie and you lose the boundaries between you,

The ice and the sky.

Twirl,

Glide,

Breathe.

Let yourself melt into this winter wonderland.

Mollie and Lillz will meet in the coattails.

The dangles SKY!

You've grandly come to understand and see what her f ہیں,

This heard 은 수 sev.

You You Charcoal gray clouds heavy with pending snow have moved in And beams of late afternoon winter sun burst through in distinct rays Your limbs are tired,

But warmth and happiness radiate through your whole body You look around.

Where are you on the lake?

Do you see that small house tucked into the woods?

Go ahead and skate towards it The little log cabin comes into clear view and you're drawn to its inviting quaintness The sweet smoky scent of a cherry wood fire drifts by As you climb onto the bank,

There's a weathered wooden bench with a pair of comfy slippers on it You remove your skates and wiggle your toes into sheerly lined moccasins The sun is setting now,

But behind you in the front window of the little house a golden lamp beckons The front door is painted a faded barn red and you pull a wrought iron handle to step inside A rush of heat greets you,

Warming your chilly nose and fingers There's a crackling fire burning in the large stone hearth on the far side of the room No one else is here,

But somehow you know this simple lovely space has been prepared for you There's a pot of delicious smelling soup simmering on the small antique stove but you're overcome with the need to lie down and rest Glancing around the room,

You see an old fashioned spindle bed piled high with quilted comforters You flop onto the bed,

Wriggle under three of the blankets,

Letting your head sink into a feathery soft pillow Every muscle in your body softens and you slip into a deep state of blissful relaxation Rest here for a bit The sun is setting now,

But behind you in the front window of the little house a golden lamp beckons The light is on,

The sun is setting,

The light is on,

The light is on,

The light is on The light is on,

The light is on,

The light is on,

The light is on The light is on,

The light is on,

The light is on The light is on,

The light is on,

The light is on It's almost time to return When you're ready,

Begin wiggling your hands and feet and come back into your body You're returning to reality,

But the deep peace and contentment you felt in meditation is yours to revisit whenever you want Thank you for exploring with us.

Amazing, brilliant visualisation which relaxed and settled the mind. Thank you

Another heavenly escape, this time into the "cozy cold" of my childhood days on the ice back in PA and that amazing combination of tired but content after a day out in the cold. The slippers waiting on the bench and prepared soup added a nurtured and welcomed feeling to this meditation. I could almost hear the scraping of my skates and the crackling of the fire....divine wintery escape!

Soo deep, relaxing and enjoyable

Love you lots. Very special meditation. Apearantly I'm a very skilled skater! :) Very peaceful and I love the laying in bed in the cabin which was perfectly appropriate since I was really laying down. It connected perfectly. Thank you again for all your great work and light you bring. You are great.

Wonderful warm feelings! I loved spinning on the ice and in the house I felt like it's my Home! Didn't want to return :)
Thank you!

Wonderful creative journey, thank you kindly 😍

This reminds me of when I was a teenager & I loved to ice skate. Then snuggling under soft puffy quilts at the end of this meditation gave me such a warm & cozy feeling. I used this meditation upon awakening & it has started my day so delightful. 🦋

I appreciated the detailed visualization of a peaceful, tranquil winter’s wood with a lake for skating and a warm cabin to nestle into. It reminded me of Mohonk Mountain house which I often visualize when I’m seeking a retreat much different than my Florida abode. Great music and sound quality too.

This meditation brought back the feelings of flowing on the ice from being an avid ice skater in my young years. Thank you!

Very nice on ice just gliding along 😊

Did not want this blissful meditation to end!

Love this 💕🙏🏻

That was great!

Simply beautiful. ❄ so relaxing and very easy to imagine myself in this lovely story. 💜 thank you 🙏

Grateful for this relaxing visualization as it reminded me of a magical place where I lived many years ago.
