A Dance Of Lightness An Air Meditation For Sleep And Stress

Welcome to the serene realm of the element of air.

We will explore our connection with the essence of life,

The air that sustains us.

As you settle into a comfortable position,

Notice your breath,

How the air enters,

Fills your lungs and leaves the body.

With each inhale and exhale,

The current of air around you becomes more noticeable.

Can you feel the air touch the tip of your nose,

Your tongue,

The back of your throat?

Maybe even the flow down your windpipe.

Your eyes may begin to get heavy.

If called to do so,

Let your eyes gently close.

Our journey begins by exploring the power of air.

Like a feather carried by the breeze,

Imagine how you can embrace the sensations of lightness,

Spaciousness,

Expansiveness,

Clarity,

Freedom.

As the feather floats through the air,

It becomes one with the breeze,

A vessel of stillness,

Stability,

And grace.

How it moves without hesitation,

Expressing boundless freedom and playfulness.

Explore how these qualities fill you with inspiration,

Vitality,

Clarity.

Embrace these qualities of air in every cell of your being,

Its gentle touch,

Its ability to carry whispers afar,

Its ever-present nature.

Can you sense the interconnectedness with all living things just as the air connects the world?

Begin to bring your awareness back to your meditation space,

Savoring the freshness and lightness of the air elsewhere.

Take a moment,

Give gratitude for the element of air,

Its vital role in sustaining life.

Take a few final deep breaths and gently open your eyes with a renewed sense of lightness,

A flow of inspiration,

And clarity.

Carry the essence of air with you throughout your day.

Until next time,

May you know playfulness,

May you know stability,

May you know how to be inspired.
