Greetings,
Friends.
I'm Bob Barlow from Meditate with Bob.
Power of your imagination is truly infinite.
Today,
You'll be using some of that infinite power to take a beautiful,
Relaxing journey,
Cradled in a big green leaf,
Floating lazily down a gently flowing river.
So many beautiful sights and sounds and other sensory wonders await you.
The perfect sky overhead,
The sound of water splishing and splashing,
The melody of birdsong,
The fresh scent of the air,
So fresh you can taste it.
And all the while,
Your cozy leaf rocking you gently as you float on.
But first,
Let's relax a little.
We can start with a nice deep breath and a long,
Slow exhalation.
And we can let go in the shoulders.
Maybe letting go just a little more there,
Letting the breath guide us.
And relaxing the belly,
Just letting go completely there.
And the eyes now,
And all the muscles of the face and the head.
The hands let go.
The hips and the glutes now,
Just relaxing,
Letting go.
The whole pelvic area,
Relaxing the thighs now,
The knees,
The lower legs.
Letting go in the soles of your feet now,
And the toes.
And inviting any areas that we haven't visited to relax also,
To just let go.
Feeling the energy flowing freely through your relaxed body.
And returning now to our visualization,
Feeling ourselves floating down that lazy river,
The safe embrace of a big,
Perfect,
Comfortable green leaf.
Easy waves continue to rock your leaf gently,
And you kick back and enjoy the ride.
You've never been so relaxed,
So safe and at ease.
Perfect conditions for letting go of whatever does not serve.
Comfortably nestled in the curves of your big green leaf,
Floating gently down a lazy stream.
Overhead,
The sun shines its love and light down on you.
You take it in,
Absorbing whatever's good,
Whatever supports your happiness and well-being.
You might be surprised to notice that the sunbeams carry something more.
Some especially healing energy that is exactly what you need right now.
You can feel it.
It's strong.
It's powerful.
It's good.
So spend a few moments just soaking it in.
Now,
Notice all the beautiful sounds around you.
Birds singing,
Insects humming,
The wind gently whooshing.
Could there be a message for you inside of those sounds?
Listen for a while.
I'll give you time to hear what you need to hear.
It may be words.
It may be a beautiful melody.
And it is exactly what you need to hear right now.
Looking up into the beautiful blue sky now and seeing the story the clouds are telling.
Be open to receiving that story,
Understanding the lesson it holds.
The clouds may be showing you pictures,
Or they may be spelling out words or making patterns.
Enjoy watching the clouds and receiving their messages for a few moments now.
And now the time has come to begin our journey home.
We'll bid farewell to all we experienced,
Knowing that we can return whenever we desire.
The beautiful healing sunshine will still be there.
The lovely sounds you heard,
They'll be here waiting for us too.
And the clouds will have new stories to tell us when we come back to this magical place.
Taking a moment now to experience some gratitude for these wonders of your imagination.
And finding yourself now transported to where our journey began.
Things here are the same but different.
You might find that the vibrations are a bit higher.
Your smile comes easier.
The breath is balanced and calm.
Taking in a deeper breath now,
Holding it for a bit,
And then releasing it in a long,
Slow exhalation.
Wiggling your fingers and toes,
Rolling your wrists and ankles,
Stretching,
Sighing,
Smiling.
And when you're ready,
Slowly,
Gently opening your eyes.
