Welcome back to Soul Searchers guided meditation sessions.
In today's session we're just going to take five or so minutes to immerse yourself in the now and to completely detox from stress and to find some inner peace within amongst such a busy and bustling city.
I ask that you take a moment to really get comfortable.
Lie down if that suits you or perhaps you prefer to sit down.
Find a position that you can stay in but also feel free to move if at any point you do start to feel uncomfortable.
There are no rules,
There is no right way to meditate.
I just ask you to trust,
To let go and to immerse yourself in the present moment.
Once you are comfortable,
Whether that be lying or sitting,
We shall begin.
Today we are going to take a moment to relax and check out of the intense energy of the city and travel inward to our very own vacation spot within,
Where oceans flow throughout your veins and sand makes up the marrow of your bones.
A place we check in and out of frequently,
Not always able to immerse ourselves completely and with ease.
But today as you listen to this,
Something in the air feels different.
And today we will travel there together,
Allowing yourself to explore and expand the innermost corners of your mind,
Allowing yourself the permission to be still.
Stillness of mind,
Stillness of body,
Steadiness of breath.
Focus now on the breath,
How it fuels you,
How it fills you and how it connects you to the divine power within.
I want you to breathe in deeply to the count of five and then breathe out,
Counting back down from five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
As you begin to go to that peaceful place and as you lay down,
I want you to reaffirm your connection to the earth.
Whatever part of you is connected to the earth right now,
I want you to feel how easily it supports you and seems to pull you down deeper into its core with each breath,
How you are more a part of the earth than apart from it.
Focus now on your breathing,
On the steady rhythm and peace that it provides,
Each breath filling you with another moment of life,
Another segment of time,
Another chance to be present,
And to feel alive.
As you breathe in,
I want you to concentrate on that connection.
Focus on the stress that you feel has been overwhelming you as of late,
All the burdens that you carry with you,
All the energy blockages within your being.
You begin to feel them release as you breathe out,
Blowing out any tension in your body.
You are doing this for a few moments,
Creating a rhythm that you are comfortable with,
Feeling more and more relaxed and at one with yourself,
Your surroundings,
And this moment.
Any noise that you may hear in the background simply fades and you find yourself floating further and further away from the noise and further and further away from the distractions of everyday life.
This moment right here accepts you just as you are,
No pretenses,
No forced smiles.
This moment requires nothing but your commitment to the now.
Feel yourself merge into the serene soundtrack that is the city around you and you become the observer,
Giving yourself the permission to take this moment just for you.
You deserve it.
You sought after it and now you have arrived.
Simply present in this moment,
Allowing your body to sink into this new energy.
You feel a wave of comfort and relaxation rush over you,
Starting at the very tips of your toes.
A warm flow of energy travels up and around your body,
Completely covering you in peace.
Over your legs,
Across your knees,
Up over your thighs,
Over your hips,
Sinking now without washing over your bones.
Playing hide and seek amongst your ribs.
A flow of love and warmth fills you.
This calming energy that lets you know that everything is and always has been okay,
Washes over your arms,
In between the spaces of your fingers,
Across your chest,
Shoulders,
Neck and head.
And as you take this time out of your busy day,
As you prepare for the day ahead or the week ahead,
You feel a new renewed energy of complete calm.
You realise now that any problem that you have been focusing on is minute in the grand scale of life,
In the grand scale of your potential and of your power.
These problems seem but mere needles in a haystack and you're done searching for them.
You will not be overcome by the pain.
You will not be overcome by the worry.
You will not be taken over by the rush of the city.
For you know that you can always return to this place of peace,
This place of love,
This place of relaxation,
Is forever accessible whenever and wherever you may choose to access it.
I want you now to visualise in your mind the room that you are in without opening your eyes.
Think about all of the negative thoughts and worries that you've accumulated in this room.
See how they fill each corner.
And now I want you to tap into your power and zoom out,
Past the seeming of the room,
Past the construct of the building,
Past the clouds,
Past the layers of the universe until you are somewhere up amongst the stars,
Amongst the atoms,
Amongst the vibration that we call home.
And you look down on your life from way up there and you realise that you are in full control of your destiny.
You have the power to change the course of your life.
You deserve to succeed and you are worthy of love.
And in these final moments I ask that you fill yourself with love,
Nourishing your body and your being,
Reminding yourself of the true power within.
Remember that you are a superhero and you have the power to save yourself.
Taking a final deep breath in and out,
Releasing the last of the tension.
You now open your eyes renewed and full of life.
Your eyes seem to glisten a little lighter.
Your walk is more purposeful,
Your voice is more confident and your heart overflows with love.
You are now fully present in the moment,
Back into your awareness and prepared to face the day.
Namaste.
