Welcome to this guided inner journey.
Take a moment to settle into a seated position that allows you to be both alert and at ease.
Closing your eyes or allowing your gaze to soften,
Coaxing attention inward.
If at any time you aren't feeling or resonating with what I'm saying,
Stay attuned to what you are feeling.
Trust that.
Beginning by taking three long,
Rich,
Luxurious breaths in and out.
Three deep cleansing breaths,
Breathing in through the nose,
Filling the belly,
The ribcage,
The chest,
Filling with the gift of this breath.
Holding for a moment and then releasing through the mouth.
A nice long full exhale,
Letting go of what no longer serves to make room for the next breath.
And taking another breath like that,
Breathing in and being nourished by life affirming energy.
And then releasing,
Letting go.
And one more breath like that,
Noticing and saying yes to this breath,
This dance.
Now allowing the breath to resume its natural rhythm,
Letting the body breathe itself and be just as it is.
There's nothing you need to do to change the rhythm or depth of the breath in any way.
Just letting it be.
And now doing a quick scan through the body from head to toe,
Noticing with kind awareness where you might be holding tension and inviting those areas to relax and release,
To unclench.
Allowing the forehead to smooth,
The eyes to soften,
The jaw to relax,
The tongue to float down from the roof of the mouth,
The belly to soften,
Softening the hands,
Not forcing but inviting ease wherever it's possible.
And bringing attention to the feet,
Feeling the aliveness in your feet from the inside out,
The play of sensation.
And moving awareness up through your legs.
Then bringing attention to the root chakra at the base of your spine,
Visualizing and sensing this area and the presence of a golden seed right at the base of the spine.
Taking three full deep breaths as you direct attention to the root chakra,
Allowing this area to fill with light as you focus the awareness of the breath there.
And the golden seed sends roots down into the earth and begins to push a healthy golden stem slowly upward.
And the stem grows up to the area of the sacral chakra just below the navel,
Bringing its golden light to this area.
And taking three full deep breaths as you direct attention to the luminous sacral chakra.
And now the stem reaches up into the solar plexus chakra below the ribcage and above the navel.
And breathing three times deeply in this area,
Allowing it too to fill with light.
The stem continues to grow upward into the heart area,
Breathing into and out of the heart three times.
And now the stem reaches up to the throat chakra,
Filling the throat with light,
Taking three nice deep breaths while directing attention to and sensing light in the throat area.
And now the stem grows up to the third eye chakra,
Breathing into and out of this area three times.
And now the stem reaches all the way up to the crown of the head,
The crown chakra,
Where a white water lily emerges and blossoms,
Opening layers of petals outward.
And the stem extends from the bottom of the water lily all the way down to the root chakra,
Taking three more deep breaths,
Directing attention to the crown chakra,
Where the magnificent white water lily rests in full bloom,
Radiant and glowing from the inside out.
Now a river of light begins to flow like water from the water lily all the way down through your body,
Filling your whole body with light and warmth.
The light flows to every cell in your body,
Nourishing your whole being with light in your chest,
Becoming aware of an iridescent heart crystal right in the midst of the river of light.
The river of light washes over it,
Cleansing it.
As the water cleans the surface of the crystal heart,
You can sense the presence of everyone who's ever loved you inside of it.
They all exist here inside this infinite heart of unconditional love.
Does any particular face or voice draw your attention?
In a sense,
The crystal heart is like Aladdin's lamp.
When you rest a hand tenderly on your heart,
The loving beings who live in there are able to speak to you and even appear before you.
It might be one particular being or several.
They might even form a loving circle around you and take turns talking or sending you love.
Who wants to speak?
Who has a message of love to offer you right now?
Place a hand on your heart and listen.
Listen and sense with the eyes and ears of your heart.
You might hear words,
See an image,
Or it might be a felt sense.
What does this voice of unconditional love want you to know?
Taking some time now to hear what love has to say to you.
You you you you Now thanking the being or beings for their message of loving kindness and offering a kind loving wish to them.
And then allowing them to retreat back into the crystal heart inside you,
Knowing they are always there.
And anytime you want,
You can place a hand on your heart to call them forth.
And you might also notice a beautiful white swan swimming silently around the crystal heart in the river of light.
The swan's job is to protect your heart,
Allowing only higher vibrations of love and light to enter in.
It's like a filter.
It rises up and blocks without stretched wings any lower energies,
Not allowing them to pass through.
The river of light continues to flow from the water lily at your crown down through your whole body.
And the light radiates beyond your body.
Light above you.
Light below you.
Light on your right side and on your left side.
Light in front of you.
Light behind you.
Light inside you and all around you.
Taking a few moments to bathe in this light and integrate this experience.
And offering this prayer,
I am surrounded by pure holy light.
Only good shall come to me.
Only good shall go from me.
I give thanks that this be so now.
And now guiding your attention back to your hands.
The energy in your hands.
The aliveness in your hands.
And to your feet.
To the sounds around you.
Becoming aware of your body sitting here.
And when you're ready,
Opening your eyes.
You
