Welcome.
It's wonderful to have you here.
We'll be going on a healing journey in a short while,
But let's first settle into a comfortable position to relax mind and body.
Picture yourself on a protected and pristine beach,
Stretched out under blue skies and sunshine.
Let's take a few deep cleansing breaths.
Inhale peace,
Exhale stress.
Allow the steady gentle rhythm of breaking waves to lull you into an even deeper state of calm.
Sun and sand are the perfect temperature as they wrap you in a warm embrace.
With each exhale,
Your body loosens and softens.
Tension falls away.
A loose spaciousness inhabits you now,
With every muscle having room to unfurl and rest.
In this state of relaxed awareness,
Bring your inner gaze to your third eye,
That space on your forehead,
Just above the middle point of your eyebrows.
Simply let your calm attention rest at this location.
The scent of hibiscus and eucalyptus float into your consciousness.
Feel it merge with the energy of your third eye,
Bringing an even deeper calm to your mind and body.
It's time to rise now and begin walking down the beach.
Make your way past dunes of beach grass dotted with blue ginger,
And feel the moist breeze brush your face and cool your skin.
With each step,
The soft warm sand massages your arches.
Palm trees wave in the distance,
And gulls swoop and cry at the ocean's edge as you amble down this deserted shoreline.
As you continue moving down the beach,
Bring to mind a current issue that has felt like a burdensome weight.
Perhaps it's a long time struggle with an unhealthy behavior,
Or ongoing emotional stress around a difficult relationship.
Maybe you simply want to let go of the day's worries.
Take some time to clarify this issue and gently hold it in your mind's eye.
It's time to rise now and begin walking down the beach.
Make your way past dunes of beach grass dotted with blue ginger,
And feel the moist breeze brush your face and body.
Cypress and pines are beginning to encroach on this narrow stretch of beach,
And you spot a well-trodden path up ahead.
It's time to veer away from the ocean and journey into the denser foliage.
The pines have given way to a tangle of palms and flowering plants,
And you're now surrounded by a barrage of color and sound.
Lemon gum eucalyptus and bamboo orchids usher you along the trail,
And all around,
A chorus of birds calls you further and further into the lush jungle.
The canopy is so thick that sunlight barely flickers through,
And the stillness of the moist air creates a sacred hush.
The scent of exotic flowers is still prominent,
But the birds have quieted.
Listen.
Can you hear the sound of water?
You've walked too far inland for it to be the ocean.
Go ahead and move towards the sound of the rushing water.
As the path cuts a slow arc into a grassy clearing,
You are stopped in your tracks by the beauty and majesty of a magnificent waterfall.
From high on a glistening gray cliff,
Water cascades down sheer rock,
Spilling into a bubbling foaming pool just a short distance from where you stand.
As you move closer to the falls,
The wild energy of wet spray dancing through the air brings a visceral joy to your whole being.
Standing in the sunny clearing,
Cooled by a misty spectrum,
Allow yourself to once again bring your challenge to mind.
This time,
Notice what happens in your body as you consciously focus your attention on this issue.
Can you feel the place where the emotion has landed?
You may notice a slight ache or a tightening of muscles.
Or maybe it's simply a subtle heaviness.
Now that you've located the space in your body where your challenge resides,
Send a beam of compassionate energy directly to it and lift it to your third eye.
With loving focus,
Hold it there,
Walk to the place where the waterfall meets the earth,
And immerse yourself in the cascading water.
Tilt your head to the sky and feel the weight of the water splash your forehead and rush over your body.
Born at the dawn of time,
This water is a gift from the universe,
Here to cleanse and renew.
As the falls course over you,
Allow the flowing water to draw out negative emotions and discharge them back into the earth.
Your pain and discomfort are released,
And you melt into the cool,
Clear joy of the falling water.
In your pursuit for that holy Holiday,
Thisοςas rock is like a The sun is now a bit lower in the sky,
So it's a good time to leave the light.
It's time to leave the glorious waterfall and step back into the warm grove.
There's a cluster of fig trees in the sunniest corner of the clearing.
Go ahead and stretch out there to dry off.
As the sun warms your body,
You are filled with a sense of serene lightness.
In this blissfully relaxed state,
Take a fresh look at what brought you here.
Perhaps nothing can change the reality of your situation,
But through surrendering,
You have opened to a receptive,
Emotional space that invites compassion for your journey.
With a gentle heart,
Honor the courage and strength it took for you to arrive at this time and place in your life.
The sun is now a bit lower in the sky,
So it's a good time to leave the light.
The sun is now a bit lower in the sky,
So it's a good time to leave the light.
Now the sun is setting,
And as the night jasmine begins to spread her petals,
Experiencing becomes more important than thinking.
Lying in this protected grove,
Your senses filled with the perfume of a tropical evening,
Let yourself drift into a state of blissful contentment.
You have taken your soul to a place of unburdened beauty and peace,
And can return here whenever you want.
Until we're together again,
I wish you peace and magic.
