Hello and welcome to your meditation today or this evening.
This is your personal balance meditation.
We'll start by taking three big breaths in together.
Big breath in and exhale slowly.
Big breath in and exhale slowly.
Big breath in and exhale slowly.
Big breath in and exhale slowly.
Take yourself now to your favourite place in nature,
Somewhere special for you,
Somewhere that you might find a tree.
Just allowing yourself to be there now,
Outside in nature.
Smelling the smells.
Feeling the texture of the things around you.
Listening to the nature sounds.
So nice to be here now.
Imagine before you a tree.
It is exuding a calm and relaxed atmosphere and you can feel very welcomed and relaxed.
Go to your tree.
Look at it.
Perhaps touch it,
Hug it.
Explore the leaves as you look up.
What sort of tree is it?
Are there leaves?
And what kind of soil is the tree growing in?
Observing the tree.
Feel this tree as your body.
They are growing.
It is a warm sunny day.
The sun is gentle but firm upon your leaves and branches.
Feel the heat of the sun on the crown of your tree.
The warmth feels like the sun on your face and arms in summer.
See this energy as a golden light.
Let the sun send you this golden light and let it fill your leaves and branches.
Feel this golden light start to warm you.
Let the sun fill you completely with this golden energy.
When you are totally filled with the golden light all the way out to the tips of your branches and fingers,
All the way down your trunk,
Down into your roots and legs,
Then thank the sun for giving you its healing love that is the golden light.
You feel you are at one with the tree and you realise that you have established an awareness that allows you to transcend into the essence of its being.
Big breath in.
And exhale slowly.
Big breath in.
And exhale slowly.
Big breath in.
And exhale slowly.
Next turn your attention to your roots,
This deep base that keeps you grounded in Mother Earth.
Feel the damp coolness of the earth around your roots just like digging your toes into moist soil.
Your roots are seeking nutrients and water,
Discovering in the darkness an intimacy with the soil.
Listen,
You can hear the water flowing deep underground.
Feel the cool,
Caressing touch of it.
Drink deep the water to quench this tree's thirst.
Feel this cooling water being sucked up through the roots as an offering of healing love from Mother Earth.
Ask her to send her healing energy to you.
See this healing energy as an emerald green liquid.
Pull this healing liquid up through your roots just like sucking on a straw.
Feel this cooling energy start to fill your trunk body.
Let it rise all the way up into your branches and crown.
Sense and feel the mingling of the sun's gold light with this emerald green healing energy from the earth.
Feel the healing,
The balance of both healing energies within all of your body.
Green liquid from the earth,
Golden light from the sun.
Let it bring you balance and the healing that you need.
Big breath in and exhale slowly.
Big breath in and exhale slowly.
Big breath in and exhale slowly.
Slowly you travel back down the tree to the point that you entered.
Feel the link between you and the tree slowly,
Lovingly dissolve.
Bow and thank the tree in a way that seems suitable to you.
It's time now to prepare to come out of meditation,
To walk out of your place in nature and bring yourself back into your body.
Living in the here and now,
Feeling balance.
Preparing yourself for the next part of your day or night.
Moving forward now.
Let's take a deep breath in and exhale slowly.
Let's take a deep breath in and exhale slowly.
