Welcome to this relaxing meditation.
Get ready to surrender your old stressful ways and get fully connected to the real you through the power of visualization.
Find a nice comfortable position and gently close your eyes.
Your arms rest softly by the sides of your body.
Allow your arms and legs to feel heavy and relaxed.
Grant your body permission to remain calm,
Yet your mind be awake and present while you listen to my voice.
Breathing in and let it go.
Breathing in again,
Send love and compassion to the whole body.
Exhale and smile at your existence.
Be aware of the wonderful self-healing ability that works in your body automatically.
Your loving attention supports it and provides a space for total regeneration.
Feel gratitude for every single cell in your body.
See if you can let the body relax even more deeply.
Good.
Breathe in and out and once more respecting the nature of a full breath.
Now begin to visualize that you're driving down a long windy country road in the dark of night.
Each mile you're traveling further out into the seclusion of nature.
You can see your headlights beaming through the crisp darkness,
Illuminating the pavement in front of you.
As you drive,
You become more and more relaxed,
Enjoying the smooth ride of the car.
No one passes you by and it seems like the entire road belongs solely to you.
You can see city lights glowing with warmth,
Dwindling in the distance behind you,
But you cannot hear the sounds of the city.
All you can hear are the sounds of thousands of crickets and the occasional nighttime frog passing through your open window.
You make your way to a small turn down a charming dirt road.
Going deep into nature,
You come to a wide and secluded glade,
A perfect cleared area that is big enough to allow a full incredible view of the night sky.
You pull your car into the grass.
When the headlights turn off and you get out of the car,
It takes a second for your eyes to adjust to the darkness.
Then you see it,
The night sky brimming with stars.
You can see more white lights in the sky than you've ever been able to see before.
It looks like glitter pouring from the heavens.
You are simply enjoying gazing up at the night sky.
You are far out where the sky is a matte black and a few stars seem to twinkle in a rainbow of colors.
There is one tree in the middle of the glade with you,
An old oak giant.
You can see that this tree holds a city of fireflies flickering their light for you.
You can hear the crickets chirping all around you.
The orchestra of a thousand crickets is very relaxing.
You take a seat near this tree and feel the energy of life.
You spend a few moments to enjoy the sounds of nature.
No man-made structures are around you.
It's only you and the sky.
Imagine how far away the common daily things like your job,
Your duties,
Your family,
And your routine are from you in this beautiful glade.
You can feel the delight of disconnection from all the hustle and bustle of life.
So you take a deep breath through the nose,
Smile,
And exhale out of your mouth with a long deep sigh.
Feel any stress disappearing and melting away along with the chaos you left behind in the city.
In this hidden glade there is no time or space for bad emotions,
Even sour feelings and memories.
They simply cannot exist here.
It's time to enjoy the silence.
The only things you can see are the stars above you and the silhouette of the giant oak.
Notice the soft grass below your feet and feel the earth supporting you.
You feel blessed,
You feel at peace,
You feel grateful for this hidden secret place you can call your own.
In this glade fully connect with the real you,
The one who has been hiding,
The one who is always too busy to just stop and recharge.
Imagine that you're connecting to the true you which is found in the seclusion that only nature can provide.
Now it's finally time.
Now everything is clear.
You are now your true self,
Complete,
Whole,
And honest.
You can easily visualize your future now full of good healthy choices each and every day.
You can see that you authentically push towards your goals without getting discouraged by the negative thoughts that are bound to try to stop you.
Now everyone has these thoughts.
You are no different than anyone else,
But you choose to take these negative voices and turn them into inspiration.
Here in the glade this is the place where ultimate inspiration can take place.
Take one last look at the sky filled with stars.
Allow it to bring you ultimate joy and fill you with the power of creativity.
Good.
Now begin to walk back to the car.
It's parked along the edge of the surrounding forest.
You turn around and take one last look at the giant oak filled with twinkling living lights.
This is the most peaceful scene you have ever witnessed.
You get into your car and the headlights erase the darkness and you start to drive back down that gentle dirt road feeling that you are in an entirely new person after this experience.
As you wind back down the country road the lights of your town come into view.
You're excited to step back into the busy world with the intuition that you reconnected with nature knowing that the peaceful memory of the secluded glade is forever within your mind.
Good.
Now gently begin to return to your awareness to the present moment in your current surroundings bringing back an authentic existence to your everyday life.
Open your eyes and enjoy your day.
Namaste.
