Settle in,

Get comfy,

Relax your mind.

Taking some deep breaths in and out in your own time.

Being in this moment together,

Sharing love,

Being connected and going within.

Before we start our journey together,

We are going to take a moment to silently state our sankalpa,

Which is your intention.

It may be to simply relax,

Perhaps to gain clarity for something,

To be healthy.

Whatever you choose,

I would like for you to repeat it three times in your mind.

All right,

Let's begin by feeling a warm glow within our souls.

When I say your soul,

Notice where you feel it in your body.

Finding that glow in your soul,

I want you to simply let that emanate throughout your entire body.

Feeling the glowing warmth traveling along each limb throughout your entire torso,

Up into your neck and head.

Feeling the glow and maybe the pulsing energy that is now ignited throughout your entire body.

Now let's extend that glow beyond your inner body to your auric field.

Can you think of,

Or maybe you can see a specific color when you think of your auric field?

Focus on the glow that is spreading outside of your body.

Maybe there are many colors,

Maybe it's simply a plain white glow.

Whatever color it is,

Enjoy it either way.

Your souls have been recharged,

Ignited,

And are ready to light up the world around us.

I would like you to do your best as I draw a picture for you.

Do your best to picture it as though you are watching a movie or reading a book.

Try to see colors,

Shapes,

Beings as best as you can.

Remember not to doubt yourself or any messages that may spring into your mind.

Let's picture a sandy brown beach of complete perfection.

It is expansive,

Clear,

Clean,

And waiting for you to walk along it.

Before your walk begins,

You take a moment to look around.

To your right is the Pacific Ocean,

Dark,

Mysterious,

Wild,

And free.

The waves gently rolling onto the beach every few moments and washing out again.

The sound is therapeutic,

So healing,

So cleansing.

The horizon is simply a line between two shades of blue.

The clouds are minimal,

White,

And fluffy.

The sun is shining brightly above as a gentle breeze blows.

The smell of fresh flowers and ocean air is surrounding you as your gaze comes back down to the left side of you.

On this side is a line of palm trees with some low-lying plants in between.

Everything is lush,

Colorful,

Healthy,

Abundant.

As you gaze straight ahead,

You can see a long stretch of beach,

Guessing that it would be about an hour-long walk to get to the end.

When you look behind you,

The scene looks about the same as what is in front of you.

Tree-lined hills reaching out from the end of the beach.

Taking a moment to listen to the waves rolling,

Feeling that warm breeze on your skin,

The sunshine on your face.

You let yourself soak it all in for a few moments.

You are actually feeling the warmth,

Hearing the sounds.

Taking your first step ahead on your beach walk feels absolutely blissful.

Thinking about the last time that you walked on a beach,

If ever.

Feeling into this moment,

Feeling the gratitude and love for the ability to be here now.

Relaxing and moving your body along this stunning beach for a few moments in silence.

Taking note of how the sand feels under your feet,

How all of your senses are affected by this scenery.

You are completely alone on this beach and you feel amazingly at peace,

Enjoying the silence,

The views,

The pause in life.

With each step,

You can feel the muscles in your legs flexing and letting go.

Moving in sync with your breath.

Your arms are swaying in time with your breathing and your legs.

It's amazing how our bodies work like an engine.

They seem to just know what to do without much direction.

You continue along the beach with your body feeling warm and in tune with the earth.

Your feet feel a buzzing as your connection with the earth enhances with each step.

You pause as a beautiful shell catches your eye.

You kneel down to take a closer look.

Holding the shell,

You notice the size,

Shape,

The detail of the lines,

Maybe the weight of it.

Observing this shell for a few moments as you turn it over in your hands.

You place the shell gently back where you found it,

Sending it a love blessing and you continue on your way.

Thinking about the shell and the details about the wonder of our planet,

How such things are made.

Continuing along the beach,

You feel your body warming up and decide to walk through the edge of the ocean for a bit to cool off.

Making your way down to the water on an angle,

There's no rush.

As your toes touch the water,

You feel a refreshing boost of energy,

A little cool down.

Your feet and ankles move slowly through the water,

Feeling the waves and the sand,

The slight resistance as you walk along.

Taking a look out at the sea,

You think about the size,

Strength,

And volatility of this body of water.

Sending respect and love out to this natural beauty.

Continuing along the beach as the shoreline gently curves with the land,

You notice something that you didn't see when you started.

It looks like a giant set of stairs built into the land,

Made with the land,

Like ancient ruins.

You continue the walk along the beach as you are trying to get a clearer picture of this formation on the land ahead of you.

Listening to the waves,

Feeling the warmth of the sunshine on your body,

Smelling that fresh ocean air.

It is all so perfectly serene and calming.

You are now approaching the end of the beach,

As well as the site of the formation that you were trying to see a short while ago.

This formation is about halfway up the hill next to you.

You make a turn and start heading up this hill of adventure.

Watching as you step,

Taking great care of yourself and the land as you go.

Drawing nearer to the structure is giving you much more clarity of the land formation that you could see from the beach.

The first platform that you have made it to looks like a giant slab of clay with rounded edges.

There is another one that looks to be the exact same size just above it.

You decide to explore this level to start.

Walking around this space gives you a feeling of wholeness,

Calm,

Grounding,

Like you have been here before,

Like home,

Like a warm hug.

You wander around for a few moments,

Looking out at the ocean,

Down at the beach,

And around at the trees,

The sky,

And the land.

Moving towards the far edge of this platform,

You see a small indent and notice that it is a secret stairwell up to the next platform.

You decide to follow it up just to see if this next level is the same as this one.

Arriving at this next level has you feeling energized,

Bright,

Excited,

Like there is some sort of surprise awaiting.

You decide to explore this platform as you did the previous one,

Making your way to the opposite side of the level.

Reaching the opposite side of the platform brings you to a little lift.

You aren't sure how it works,

But when you step onto the round tablet,

You start to lift towards the next platform.

Stepping off this lift,

You realize that you are at the top of the structure.

From the top looking down,

It becomes clear that you are on top of a pyramid.

Taking some breaths,

Taking some time to look at the familiar landmarks that you have grown familiar with in these last few moments.

As you are looking out at the ocean,

You can feel a presence with you.

There is no need to look at this being.

You simply feel what they would like to share with you.

Maybe you engage in a question and answer conversation with them.

Maybe asking their name,

Where they are from,

What message they may have for you.

Perhaps they want to show you an object.

Take some time to listen and feel for any answers in the next few moments.

Taking another moment to wrap up any interactions you may be having.

At this time,

If you choose to turn around and look at your messenger,

You may.

If you simply want to leave it as is,

Just knowing what you now know,

That is fine also.

Take it all in for a few moments.

It is time to bid a sweet farewell to your new friend,

Sending them off with love,

Gratitude,

And a new respect for one another.

As you are standing on top of this pyramid,

You take a moment to remember your journey.

To recall the feelings and emotions that you may have experienced during this time.

Thinking about any key moments of introspection.

Appreciating the relaxing beach walk,

The sights and sounds.

Giving yourself grace and gratitude for taking the time to connect,

Rejuvenate,

And surrender to this moment.

Looking back out at the ocean,

You see the most stunning sunset that you have ever witnessed.

Watching the sun with every breath you take as it sinks lower and lower into the horizon.

Appearing to be swallowed by the sea.

Breathing deeply and slowly.

Feeling your soul igniting with fresh energy and ideas.

Feeling your body pulsating with vitality and health.

Breathing in love and emanating love out.

Coming back into your body now with some breaths in and out.

As we slowly start to feel our physical bodies again.

Wiggling your fingers and toes.

Moving your legs gently back and forth.

Maybe stretching your arms above your head.

Starting to shift your head back and forth as you continue to breathe.

And finally opening your eyes when you are ready.

Welcome back.

Thank you for meditating with me.

Namaste.

Peace and awesomeness to you and yours.
