Getting comfortable and breathing easily as you settle in for the next few moments together.
Breathing in and out at your own pace,
Feeling your body relax,
Feeling your soul settle in and ground to the surface beneath you.
Paying attention to releasing your jaw,
Your neck,
Your shoulders.
Breathe.
Now let your arms,
Hands,
And fingers let go.
Feeling your abdomen,
Hips,
And lower back relax.
Taking a moment to just breathe and be in this moment.
Your upper legs,
Knees,
Shins,
Ankles,
And feet are releasing any stagnant energy.
Feeling light and airy.
Taking a few moments to just breathe and settle in.
I want you to picture a beautiful Scottish landscape,
Rolling hills,
An ancient castle in the distance,
And a calm and welcoming lock right next to where you are standing.
The air is perfectly clear,
A neutral temperature,
And the sky is clear.
Your eyes wander to the surface of the lock where you see a couple of ripples spreading from tiny circles,
Growing larger as they move.
Wondering what could be causing this.
You take a couple of steps closer to the water's edge.
You are not able to see anything,
So you simply stand with your face in the filtered sunlight and breathe in the relaxing environment where you are standing.
Feeling a pull to the water,
You gently enter the cool,
Cool water.
Your skin prickles with the temperature,
But you quickly feel comfortable and continue into deeper waters.
Feeling totally at ease and free,
You dip your head underwater and feel different.
You are no longer walking,
But swimming.
Your legs are not separate,
But one piece.
Looking down,
You see that you appear to be fish-like from the waist down and moving so smoothly through the water.
The clothing that you were wearing is gone and replaced with simple coverings,
Or maybe there is no clothing.
Your hair has changed also.
What color is it?
Take a moment to observe your new appearance as you swim around under the water of the lock.
Feeling connected to your soul like never before,
You continue to glide through the murky waters smoothly,
Freely,
And fearlessly.
Noticing other water creatures along the way,
You cannot believe how fast you are going and how powerful your lower half is.
You continue to frolic through the water,
Building up speed and breaking through the surface into the air before diving back into the water,
Enjoying the next few playful moments.
Catching glimpses of beings that look similar to you makes your soul glitter.
You attempt to catch these others,
But they are too fast for you and they fade away in the distance.
You decide to head to the surface to see where you are.
As you break the surface,
You see three familiar smiling faces looking at you,
Heads just above water as well.
You swim towards one another and have a quick interaction about your experiences.
They also have fins and a new look.
Take a few moments to identify your friends and interact.
One of your friends has a special message for you and asks for a moment alone.
The other friends swim away with well wishes for the remainder of the day.
Your friend invites you to swim underwater as you listen to their message.
It's simple they say,
Just listen and you will receive.
You take off smoothly together under the water for the next few moments.
Just listen.
Your friend takes a few more moments to wrap up any final thoughts for you and you take some time to thank them for their wisdom.
Embracing and swirling in circles until you are ready to part,
You promise to visit again.
Surfacing,
You find yourself back to where you started,
Looking at the exact shoreline where you began,
Wondering if it was all just a dream.
You climb out of the water with your entire outfit on,
Dry,
Warm and your appearance completely back to normal except for one small section of hair that is ablaze the color of your hair from your underwater adventure.
You look out at the lock and take a long luxurious breath in and out as you recall the adventure,
The interactions and the transformation that you were able to experience.
Feeling rejuvenated,
Lit up and ready for life on land once again.
Knowing that you can return anytime that you wish for a visit and perhaps another message.
Coming back into your physical body,
Wiggling your fingers and toes,
Stretching your arms and legs,
Maybe moving your head gently back and forth and opening your eyes when you're ready.
Thank you for meditating with me.
Namaste,
Peace and worthiness to you.
