Thank you for joining me today in meditation.
Let's start by taking a few centering breaths,
Letting your day or any heaviness leave you on your exhale.
Today we are standing at the edge of a large old growth forest.
Ahead of us is a beautiful waterfall.
It flows over the edge of a high canyon wall and drops into a beautiful blue-green pool below.
As we stand taking this beautiful sight in,
We adjust our breath,
Making it longer and fuller.
Take off your shoes if you like and feel the earth under your feet.
Sense your awareness race downward as the warm soil and pebbles beneath your feet pamper the idea of closeness to the earth.
It is a loving thing,
Something alive,
Something that is hugging you from your feet upward.
As you step forward into the clearing that leads towards the waterfall and pond,
More heat and connection from the earth can be felt.
Walk slowly letting your senses draw you into the beauty of this magical place.
You hear sounds all around,
Birds and forest creatures,
The sound of the waterfall crashing into the surface of the pond.
You are now at the edge of the pool and find a beautiful group of rocks to sit on.
As you sit gently,
Adjust,
Feeling the warmth below you,
Drawing you into your body.
You feel the warmth of the sun touching you.
Your breath is steady and calm.
Any thoughts beyond the beauty of this waterfall and pond have left you.
With your breath calm and your body relaxed,
You slowly survey the pool,
Its beautiful colored water,
The gentle flow of water moving outward from the waterfall and its transformation past where you are sitting.
It's flowing down into a small creek on the far side of the pool and you just watch and take this in.
Looking up,
You see all the interesting things growing on the walls of the canyon,
Vines blowing in the gentle breeze,
Small bushes and trees growing from the edge,
Birds sitting,
Talking,
Having fun.
You realize that you are in a special place.
Your mind and body are completely at ease.
The light is brilliant and magical here and you surrender.
You sense that all will be taken care of for you and there is no need to worry or fear anything.
The air shifts and you feel a light breeze blow against you.
You smile knowing this breeze is speaking to you.
You know you are safe and protected.
The breeze also brought mist from the waterfall.
The mist is very fine and dances all around you.
You relax further as sunlight shining through the mist increases the light and warmth,
The warmth all around you now.
You feel the mist as it touches you.
You can feel it touching your hair,
Your neck.
It lightly touches your face and shoulders.
It touches the tiny hairs growing on your arm,
Touches your hands.
The mist is so fine it almost tickles you but instead speaks,
Letting you know how perfect and magnificent you are.
As the mist swirls gently around you,
There is a sense that your energy field is as powerful as you have ever known it.
You feel connected to the universe and all its creativity and healing energies.
As you breathe,
You feel this mist flow in through your nose and mouth and into your lungs.
The mist talks to and enhances everything it touches.
You sense its energy reaching out into your body,
Touching and healing,
Energizing every part of you.
Each breath pulls in new mist and you sense it swirling through your blood,
Through your heart,
Through your spine,
Your neck and brain.
You feel the mist swirling through your muscles,
Tissues and bones.
You feel it in your immune and nervous system.
You feel all of your energetic systems expanding in this energy.
As you sit in this moment,
Everything seems effortless.
You are fully relaxed and free of all discomfort or pain.
You are fully connected to the warmth and gentle touch of Mother Earth and of the heavenly energies of the stars above.
Now bring your attention to your heart center,
The heart center in the middle of your chest and feel the warmth and sparkle there.
Let the warmth grow,
Spreading outward.
Let it expand throughout your body and beyond.
This cohesive field fills the entire basin that the waterfall lives in.
You may not see this energy,
But you can feel it in a powerful way.
And you know this energy is a part of you,
A part of everything,
All that is.
In this moment you are bright and radiant beyond any previous knowing.
You are healing all physical,
Mental and emotional illness,
Trauma,
Unhealthy patterns or beliefs.
This energy is swirling throughout your life,
Throughout this moment,
Past,
Present and future and you can sense it like it's a part of you,
A very real part of you.
Now come back to your breath.
Let go of the mist around you and from within.
Know that it will never really leave,
But now it is time to settle and fully ground back into your body.
Breathe in deeply now.
Breathe into your lungs and feel your chest expand.
Move just ever so slightly,
Allowing blood to start to flow into your limbs.
And although we know you're already at the waterfall,
Feel a grounded presence as you come back and start to notice it with a different clarity,
With a new grounded presence.
Take several more deep breaths as you bring yourself back from this wonderful experience.
If you are planning to go to sleep,
Gently drift off now.
Know that you will have the best sleep ever,
Waking fully refreshed,
Empowered and full of energy.
If you are starting your day,
Take this energy and powerful healing into the day with you.
Know that you are a magnificent human being,
Perfect beyond words.
Know that your experience in meditation today can be yours at any time.
Simply sit still and relax into your breath,
Taking in this light,
This mist that we discovered today.
It is always there for you and in many ways it is you.
Thank you again for joining me in meditation today.
Namaste.
