Transcript

Let yourself begin to find a comfortable seat or let yourself lie down.

And if it feels okay,

Allow your eyes to soften closed.

Let yourself take just a few moments to notice your body.

Let yourself notice the parts of your body that are connected to the floor.

And the parts of the body that are connected to the sky.

Let yourself notice how your breath affects your body.

How the inhale creates a lightness,

An expansiveness,

And how the exhale creates a heaviness and everything moves back toward a center location.

Begin to allow your belly to rise and fall freely with your breath.

So with each inhale,

You feel the belly expand in space.

And with each exhale,

The belly softens back toward your body.

Imagine that you find yourself in the center of a great and beautiful hall.

Let the floor be made of marble or hardwood.

Imagine that you find yourself in a room full of beautiful colors.

And all around you are stained glass windows from floor to ceiling,

Showing happy memories from your life.

As you walk toward the center of the room,

What color is your throne?

Of what materials is it made?

And as you sit into your throne,

Let yourself feel the softness beneath you.

And notice that to your left is a crown.

And as you place the crown upon your head,

You notice at the end of the hall a group of people waiting to meet with you.

The first person to meet with you is the first person walking down the aisle toward your throne,

Carries a bright red stone.

This person helped to teach you about your life,

Perhaps gave you life itself.

This person nurtures and makes you feel safe.

This person gives you strength and a sense of rootedness.

Let yourself take a moment to accept the gift of the red jewel,

And imagine placing it into your crown.

The second person walking down the aisle toward you brings an orange precious stone.

This person helped you to discover your creative interests,

They helped you to find meaning in life,

Passion,

And excitement.

This is a person with whom you feel close and connected,

Someone who you can connect with,

Someone who you can be connected with,

Someone whom you love and have an almost unconditional bond with.

And as you receive the orange jewel,

You place it into your crown.

The third visitor brings a bright yellow stone.

This person makes you feel courageous and fierce,

Full of will.

This person has helped and enabled you to recognize your own inner self,

This person has helped and enabled you to recognize your fullest potential,

Your personal power.

This person helps you to feel strong.

And as you place the lemon jewel into your crown,

You are visited by a person carrying a green jewel.

This is someone whom you love deeply,

Someone perhaps romantic,

Someone who taught you about love and soul mates,

The best parts of life,

Someone with whom you share your energy and your spirit.

And as you place the green jewel into your crown,

A person walks the aisle carrying a brick,

A person walks the aisle carrying a bright blue jewel.

This person taught you about poetry and music,

Laughter and truth.

He gave you the strength to find your own voice and the courage to speak your truth.

You place the blue jewel into your crown and you are visited now by a person carrying a deep midnight blue stone,

The color of space.

This person has taught you about spirituality and the divine power of the soul.

This person has taught you about spirituality and the divine.

Your ability to connect with the universe through meditation or prayer.

And as you place the midnight stone into your crown,

You notice one last visitor,

This visitor looking as you imagine God might,

Carries an amazing diamond.

This visitor like an angel reminds you that you are loved,

That you are perfect just as you are,

That the life you lead is a beautiful life,

That you are worthy and needed.

This heavenly angel makes you feel safe and whole and remind you as you place the diamond into your crown that you are a child of the stars.

That you were chosen to be here and that you are important.

As you feel this crown upon your head almost weightless and soft,

As you feel this crown upon your head almost weightless and soft,

You find yourself feeling gratitude for your visitors,

For the gifts they have brought into your life and for the gifts that you may ultimately share with the world.

So let yourself take these last few moments of your meditation to consider the gifts that you offer,

The unique amazing person that is you and how through your smile and your kind words and deeds you become someone's greatest gift.

Let yourself begin to come back to your breath,

Noticing the expansion on the in-now,

The contraction on the ex-out,

And allow yourself to lie here for as long as you like,

Riding the rise and fall of your breath.

Namaste.

I've listened to this many times before leaving a review because initially it wasn't what I was expecting. On reflection, this meditations unique perspective on gratitude is what makes it engaging, yet still calming. The subtle background music supports the feeling of calmness.
