Welcome to this rechilding meditation.
Please take a moment and find a comfortable seat and allow your body just to rest where you are.
Connecting with your breath,
Notice how the breath enters the body and then just watch how it gently exits the body.
Allowing the breath to just be,
Noticing how we don't have to work for our breath,
Allowing our body to simply inhale and exhale.
Gently closing your eyes now.
I would like you to just settle in,
Be here,
Allowing yourself to be fully present.
As you continue to connect with your breath,
I want you to bring to mind a beautiful,
Magical forest,
An enchanted forest.
I want you to see the lights coming from the forest,
Noticing the most beautiful greens,
Blues,
Colors all around.
Notice if your forest is there at night or during the day and just begin to observe.
And as you see the forest,
I want you to notice yourself getting closer and closer to it.
Path reveals itself.
See the rocks,
The pebbles,
And the stones.
Feel the leaves brush up against your skin and the air kiss your arm as it slides by.
Hear the sounds,
The rustles underneath your feet,
The forest animals,
The birds singing,
The scurries of the little squirrels.
Just be in the wonder of all that you see.
And as you continue to walk,
I just want you to notice all the different textures,
The browns of that bark.
Notice how the limbs continue to grow and expand,
Reaching out into the horizon,
Holding all the bounty of leaves upon them.
See the sun starting to sparkle through the leaves through the limbs or the moonlight if it's night.
Just being there,
Allowing yourself to just be in a space of curiosity,
Childlike joy,
And exploration.
And as you continue to move forward,
I want you to notice a little girl ahead on the path.
She's standing there waiting for you.
Her arms reach out,
Hand wide open,
Asking you to join her.
And as you get closer,
You begin to recognize this little girl as the younger version of you.
She is your childlike spirit,
Your inner core,
Your joy.
And she's asking you to come and explore and play with her today.
Notice as you start to run through the forest,
Jumping over logs,
Feeling the moss beneath your feet,
The trickling of the streams,
And feel as the air expands all around your body as you run and play,
Laughing out loud.
You misstep and you find yourself rolling in the moss and the leaves together,
Playing,
Enjoying every moment.
She asks you to go and climb a tree.
You guys help one another,
Up,
Up.
And as you get to the top,
You just expand your view of all that's around.
It's magic up there.
And she looks at you and she says,
I have something to tell you,
Something that I want you to know,
That I want you to remember about you,
About me,
About us.
Ask her what it is.
What is it that she wants you to know?
What does she want you to remember?
Does she want you to remember how to play,
How to have fun,
How to allow a heart of joy to be full in your chest?
Does she want to remind you of the simplicity of all that is around,
Of the magic that lives inside of each of you?
What is it that she wants you to remember?
The times that you have together,
That she's still very much alive inside of you and yearns to connect with you on a daily basis.
What is it that she wants you to know?
To remember about the light that you are,
The light that she is,
And the light that this world needs.
Let her tell you all her secrets,
All her musings,
All of her knowledge.
Recognize the power in her words.
Recognize the power in her story and her song.
Recognize that she is very much a part of you and you are very much a part of her.
And as you allow her messages to come through,
I want you to feel the warmth in your belly,
The beating of your heart.
I want you to embrace that little girl in your arms,
Reminding her that you won't forget her.
Acknowledging her light,
Seeing her,
Being with her.
Thanking her for reminding you of the preciousness of this life and the importance of play and joy.
How important it is to share your light out into the world.
How important it is to spend time together.
Just you and her,
Think her now as you hold one another.
Notice that you are one,
Forever one,
And forever will be.
Allowing her light to meet yours as you both shine upon that treetop,
Expanding your love and gratitude for one another.
And as you release,
I want you to just gently kiss her upon her forehead,
Letting her know that it's time for you to go.
But you will never forget this moment that you spent together,
Thanking her for the gift that she just provided.
Allow yourself to gently climb down the tree,
Walking back down the path,
And just let yourself be a part of her.
Climb down the tree,
Walking back down the path,
Through the forest,
Taking it all in one more time.
And as you come to the edge of the forest,
Remembering the messages that you found there,
The love that you found there,
And the gift that you now have.
Begin to connect with your breath.
Deep breath in,
Deep breath out,
Coming back to the present moment.
Welcome.
