Hi,
Frankie here,
Welcome,
Dear soul,
To this meditation,
Flowing with the Way of Nature.
This is your time to slow down,
To soften the edges of your day,
To return to the quiet,
Steady rhythm that has always lived within you.
Beneath the noise of the world,
Beneath the busy mind,
There is a deeper pulse,
A steady rhythm of life itself.
All of nature moves in quiet,
Effortless harmony.
The river does not force itself to flow.
The tree does not rush to grow.
The wind does not strain to dance across open fields.
Everything moves,
Everything unfolds,
Just as it's meant to.
And you are part of this natural rhythm.
You are never meant to force or fight your way through life.
You are meant to breathe,
To flow,
To be carried by the greater current of life,
Through all the ebbs and flows,
Breathing and carried by the current.
For now,
Dear soul,
Let yourself sink into stillness.
Let your breath be slow and deep,
Like the tide ebbing and flowing against the shore.
Slow,
Steady breaths in,
And soft,
Full breaths out.
Feel your body soften,
Begin to relax,
As if the earth herself is holding you.
Each inhale is with ease,
And each exhale releasing all effort,
Inhaling trust,
And exhaling tension.
There is nowhere you need to be,
Nothing you need to do.
Only the invitation to be here now,
To listen,
To remember that you belong to the natural world,
And the natural world belongs to you.
So allow your body to soften even more.
Feel your connection to the ground beneath you,
To the breath moving through you,
And to the life all around you.
You are not separate from this world,
You are part of its flow,
Its endless,
Effortless unfolding.
Today,
You return home to this knowing,
You return to yourself.
Now in your mind,
Visualize a river,
A quiet stream flowing effortlessly through a landscape of soft earth and green trees.
The water curves and bends around the rocks,
It simply flows,
Adapting to what is.
Begin to walk towards this river in your imagination.
Feel the cool mist in the air,
Hear the gentle bubbling and flowing of the water.
Now imagine stepping gently into the stream,
First your toes,
Then your feet,
Ankles,
Legs,
And now you are becoming the water as you submerge into it.
Let go of your body for a moment,
Let go of form,
And become the river,
Become part of the flow.
Visualize yourself as liquid movement,
Soft,
Gliding,
Formless,
Yet completely present.
You move around obstacles without resistance.
You trust the direction the current is taking you,
Moving with ease and flow.
There is no hurry,
There is no need to control,
You are simply flowing,
Flowing with the way of nature.
Stay with this feeling for a few moments,
Floating,
Drifting,
Gently guided by something greater than your mind,
Relaxing into the flow.
Now begin to feel yourself becoming aware once more of the natural world around the river,
The birds flying without effort,
The trees standing with ease,
The clouds above drifting,
The breeze moving,
The sun rising and falling without resistance or planning.
Notice how everything in nature simply is.
It does not rush,
It does not cling,
It follows the rhythm of its own being.
You are also part of this rhythm.
There is nothing in nature that questions its worth.
A river does not try to be the mountain,
A tree does not rush to bloom,
Everything unfolds in its own time.
Feel into your body,
Can you let yourself trust that same harmony to live within you?
Repeat inwardly,
I am part of nature's unfolding,
I don't need to rush,
I trust the rhythm of my life.
Let these words echo gently through your being,
I am part of nature's unfolding,
I don't need to rush,
I trust the rhythm of my life.
Now gently bring your focus to your breath once again,
Soft,
Natural,
Flowing,
And repeat silently with the breath,
Inhale,
I follow the flow,
Exhale,
Of nature.
Inhale,
I follow the flow,
Exhale,
Of nature.
No effort,
No resistance,
Just observe the flow of your breath in and out.
Let your awareness rest in the space between the breaths.
Feel the stillness underneath all the motion,
The deep peace that lives in each pause.
Observe,
Allow,
And just be.
I will now give you some time to enter the stillness,
Just being with your breath,
Being with the deep peace that lives in each pause.
Bring your awareness back into your body,
Wriggle your fingers,
Your toes,
Roll your shoulders gently,
Feel your breath steady and calm,
And now place one hand on your heart and one on your belly,
Take a full deep breath in,
And a long soft breath out,
And whisper inwardly,
Nature is in me,
I am in nature,
I am the flow,
I am the way,
That's right,
Nature is within you,
You are nature,
You are the flow,
You are the way,
Flowing,
Trusting,
And at peace,
That's right,
You are flowing,
Trusting,
And at peace,
Thank you dear soul for joining this class,
Blessings,
Blessings to you on your journey,
Namaste.
