Welcome,

I'm Susanna Kinton and it's my honor to hold a space for your healing through this guided meditation.

We're going to begin with the breath,

Move into an invocation,

Deepen into relaxation and land in a beautiful place in nature where you'll enter your healing cocoon.

So please make yourself as comfortable as possible lying down and close your eyes.

Let's take a conscious breath together.

Breathing can seem like such an ordinary thing,

But as you breathe,

Consider that atoms in your breath may have been breathed before by a blue whale or could be breathed in the future by a hummingbird.

Your breath connects you to all of life on earth.

Your breath can attune you to higher states of consciousness and help to clear pain and trauma.

Your breath is an ally that can pull you out of upset and drop you into presence and peace anytime,

Anywhere.

So honoring and welcoming the flow of your breath,

We begin our journey inwards with an invocation,

Resting into the sweet space of spirit.

We attune to this moment and allow our breath the space in which to flow with freedom.

So grateful to devote this time to healing,

Invoking the qualities of peace and comfort as we settle in and dropping our awareness down into the heart space,

Letting the thinking mind rest and become still as we open up a field of pure potential and possibility into which we invite insight,

Transformation,

And healing.

I affirm that through this cocoon healing journey,

There is a deepening taking place where it becomes easier than ever to experience your true nature.

And when it comes time to enter your healing cocoon,

Powerful and kind energies work together to detoxify and clear your body and mind,

Inviting you to live into a new sense of self and life,

Where moment by moment choices arise more from love than from fear,

Where you feel deeply inspired and fully supported,

Where gratitude becomes your effortless foundation and your life is remade in remarkable soul-stirring ways.

I trust that codes are being activated within your DNA that awaken you to higher states of consciousness,

Enhance your immunity,

And bring deep healing,

Allowing you to feel more and more in tune with the universe,

And ultimately to fulfill your highest purpose here for the blessing and benefit of all.

And so it is.

And moving now into a relaxing body scan in preparation for cocooning.

Begin by bringing your awareness to your head.

Notice any tension or tightness across your forehead.

And on your next exhalation,

Invite this area to soften and relax,

Soothed and comforted by your breath.

Feel into the muscles around your eyes and release any sense of strain or stress here,

Letting your eyes fall heavily back into their sockets.

Now bring your attention to your jaw,

And if you notice any tightness here,

Just invite it to soften on an out-breath.

Allow your tongue to rest heavily in the bottom of your mouth as you breathe easy,

Enjoying the feeling of growing relaxation.

Take your focus now to your neck and throat.

See if there's any tightness or tension here.

And again on your next out-breath,

Just allow the muscles of your neck to soften and let go.

Feel your throat becoming open and free,

Allowing any tightness or restriction to melt away.

Now take your awareness into your shoulders,

And if there's any tension here,

Just invite it to dissolve,

Letting your shoulders surrender their weight into the surface below you,

Feeling more and more relaxed and comfortable.

Now bring your attention to your chest and your upper back.

Notice how your chest expands on your in-breath,

And relaxes back down on your out-breath.

Feel too how your ribcage expands gently on an inhalation,

And softens down on your exhalation,

Inviting the whole of your back to relax and melt into the surface you're lying on.

Feel the weight of your upper arms as they become more and more heavy and relaxed,

And let that feeling of relaxation flow down through your elbows,

Your forearms,

And into your hands and fingers,

Loosening and softening any tension as it flows.

Bring your awareness to your abdomen and your lower back.

Notice if there's any tightness or discomfort in these areas,

And invite your belly and lower back to soften and melt,

Becoming warm and heavy,

Surrendering more and more to the blissful sensations of relaxation and ease.

Now invite your focus to your hips and pelvis.

Feel any tension or tightness unwinding as you allow these areas to release,

Letting your hips become heavy and grounded,

And let your awareness now travel down into your thighs,

Softening these muscles and letting go.

Feeling the relaxation spread down to your knees and into your calves,

Feel the muscles in your legs soften and unwind with each breath,

Allowing any tension to melt away.

And finally bring your attention to your ankles and your feet,

Relaxing your feet and your toes completely,

Becoming more and more comfortable,

And now just allowing a deep sense of peace and tranquility to flow through your whole body like a gentle wave as you simply rest and breathe.

We're going to journey now to a place in nature which is your own personal sanctuary for healing.

This may be a place you love in physical reality,

Or it may be a place that you simply evoke in your imagination.

Whatever your chosen spot,

It holds power and blessings for your healing.

So just allow this place to be revealed to you now.

Notice elements of nature around you that bring you joy,

Nourishing sunlight,

A gentle breeze,

The sound of birdsong,

Perhaps the presence of trees or flowers,

Nearby mountains or ocean,

And as your scene becomes more vivid to you,

Make your way to a comfortable spot and lie down on the soft,

Welcoming earth.

I'm going to count backwards from 10 to 1,

And as I do,

A cocoon of light strands will form around you to carry you deeper into relaxation and healing.

Starting at 10,

And noticing beautiful strands of light in whatever colors are most pleasing to you beginning to form a shimmering cocoon around your body,

Leaving you plenty of space to move and settle.

Noticing that the individual threads being woven into your cocoon are imbued with consciousness,

Aligned with your unique essential nature.

8,

And as you breathe comfortably,

The cocoon breathes with you,

Expanding gently on your in-breath,

And settling back down on your out-breath.

7,

Noticing that in those areas of your body where you may have experienced injury,

Trauma,

Or upset,

That the threads of the cocoon are especially soft and supple,

Holding you with tenderness and compassion.

6,

And as the cocoon forms,

The strands begin to glow brighter with healing energy.

5,

The cocoon carries the frequency of home,

And draws you into a state of even deeper relaxation now,

Reminding you that you are safe to surrender to your own innate essence.

4,

With each exhalation now,

There is a willingness to let go and allow.

3,

Being guided into a beautiful experience of healing and transformation.

2,

A sense of newness and possibility is calling to you.

1,

And you feel comfortable,

Safe,

And ready to open to profound healing and blessings.

And as your cocoon becomes complete and fully formed now,

The time is ripe for you to surrender any burden you are ready to release.

Perhaps it is the burden of an identity or a diagnosis that has kept you stuck,

Or caused you to suffer.

Dear one,

You are not this human identity.

If there is any limiting story you've told about yourself or your health,

Or if there is any burden you no longer wish to bear,

You are invited here to surrender it now.

Your cocoon pulses gently and begins to emit a soft yet powerful light,

Which falls on the area of your body that is most in need of healing.

Perhaps this is a place of trauma or pain,

Perhaps the site of dis-ease or disharmony.

You notice that this cocoon light has a unique quality.

It is infinitely compassionate,

Penetrating and yet kind.

And as you breathe with it,

It begins to unlock information for you.

You wait,

And you listen.

And you may begin to notice that your mind travels in time to an event or situation where energy became stuck in this part of your body instead of being free-flowing and connected.

Just observe.

Notice that the cocoon light,

Combined with the movement of your breath,

Begin to initiate a flow here.

You realize that what felt dense and stuck is simply congealed energy.

And as the light of consciousness shines into this area,

The density begins to dissolve.

And it feels so good to allow this release.

Noticing the tissues softly unwinding.

Relaxing and letting go,

More deeply than they may have in years.

There is a warmth spreading to this area now.

As oxygen-rich blood delivers nutrients to the cells,

Awakening them from their slumber and bringing them into a frequency of wholeness.

Your cells are enlivened.

They begin to communicate,

Inspired to be brought into harmonious resonance.

And as your cells come into coherence,

Your nervous system is gently regulated too.

Your immune system is primed for peak performance.

You breathe a sigh of relief to feel this support,

Building your natural resilience.

Surrendering the stress of trying to control outcomes.

Or keep things together.

And trusting in the powerful order of nature,

Finding its way back into alignment as you.

And all the time,

Healing affirmations whisper,

Yes,

To the truth of who you are.

Yes,

Dear one,

You can relax and trust.

Everything is unfolding for your good.

All is well.

You are held.

You are cherished.

You are one with the creator itself.

Whatever challenges you've endured,

Whatever pain or discomfort,

Physical or emotional,

Its purpose has been to bring you home to your true self,

Back to wholeness.

And well-being.

And as we move now to an even deeper level of clearing,

We call in the light of consciousness to reveal to you any teaching within your pain or suffering that is important to understand.

What is yours to know at this time?

What wisdom can you integrate from your experience in order to move into greater wholeness and freedom?

Trust your knowing.

And now your cocoon begins to emit a brilliant,

Cleansing violet light to transmute once and for all the energy of this past experience or this situation,

Relieving you of the burden that is no longer yours to carry,

Releasing any unresolved emotional debris such as bitterness or resentment,

Unforgiveness,

Shame or guilt.

You take a deep breath in and surrender the burden on your out-breath,

Repeating this to breathe in the powerful violet light.

And with clarity of intention,

Releasing anything you've outgrown.

And once more,

Breathing in and letting go of any burden you wish to surrender.

Notice as you release any stuck energy or burden,

You begin to feel lighter,

Less encumbered.

Honoring the beautiful healing work you've done,

We're now going to enter the next phase of your cocoon journey.

Here,

Like a caterpillar in a chrysalis,

You're invited to dissolve from the solid into the liquid form of you,

Complete with imaginal cells.

These miraculous cells contain the genetic blueprint for the renewed version of you emerging in consciousness and in form.

So,

Taking a deep breath and calling forth the enzymes and hormones that will restructure your body and mind to activate this transformation,

Dissolving into the liquid light version of you,

Letting go of the old,

Releasing unhelpful programs,

Beliefs,

Habits,

And ways of being.

Feeling so grateful for this cocoon space,

Dissolving all that has been left of you,

Feeling so grateful for this cocoon space,

Dissolving all that has gone before,

And noticing with awe as your cells,

Tissues,

And organs begin to reform and reassemble,

Remade in alignment with your perfect,

Divine blueprint.

Noticing a sense of lightness and well-being as the extraordinary imaginal cells differentiate into exactly what you need.

Even noticing a pair of your own imaginal wings beginning to form at your back,

To remember who you are in spirit,

And to glide and soar through life with greater ease.

These exquisite wings form with colors and patterns that delight you and you marvel at their intricacy.

Little by little,

Your wings fill with life force,

And you begin to spread them open.

You watch the threads of your cocoon yield,

As your wings flex and stretch.

Slowly,

Your cocoon dissolves around you,

And you emerge back out into your sacred place in nature.

Standing up tall now,

And allowing your wings to expand fully,

And to dry in the sunlight,

Gathering strength and becoming toned for flight.

And you remember,

Perhaps from a dream,

How good it feels to fly.

And when you are ready,

You allow a light breeze to lift you gently off the ground,

Feeling the support of a gentle wind beneath your wings,

Coaxing you into flight.

And as you lift upwards,

You notice how lovely it feels to be weightless once more.

And you take in the breathtaking beauty below,

So grateful for this new vantage point.

So grateful also for these wings reminding you of your limitless self,

Unbounded and free.

The wind through your wings,

Whispers that anything is possible,

Inviting you to soar beyond limitations,

And to celebrate more of the wonder,

The joy,

And the beauty of life.

And to celebrate more of the wonder,

The joy,

And the beauty of life.

When you are ready to return to Earth,

You notice how easy it is to softly alight on the ground once more.

Folding your wings carefully away for now,

Knowing you can return to flight and to your cocoon whenever you wish.

And taking a grounding breath now,

Experiencing your essential nature integrated fully into your body,

And preparing to return to the reality of the room in which you are lying.

Allowing the subtlest movement to welcome you back here now.

Gently fluttering your eyelids,

Softly curling and unfurling your fingers.

Knowing that the gifts of your cocoon experience continue to unfold for you,

Whether you choose to deepen into sleep or to move into your day.

We give thanks together for any healing or insights that have arisen,

And ask that the blessings of your unique cocoon journey ripple out to bless others and the Earth itself.

So be it,

And may the blessings of your cocoon journey ripple out to bless others and the Earth itself.

So be it,

And so it is.
