Welcome to this meditation with guided imagery created especially for you at the Summer Solstice.
Make yourself comfortable,
Preferably with your spine straight and close your eyes.
Begin to sink into the darkness of your inner world and start to witness your breath.
Repeat inhales and exhales of equal length,
Breathing in and out steadily through the nose if that feels comfortable for you.
Surrender to the silence inside yourself and notice the flow of the in-breath and the out-breath as your chest gently rises and falls.
Slow the pace of your breath slightly now and notice the pleasant sensation of your lungs expanding as they fill with air.
And as you exhale and the air is expelled,
Notice that any tension you feel in your body is melting away.
Notice how this helps you relax and how being present in this calm space clears your mind.
Take your focus to your heart and direct the flow of your breath there.
Allow each inhale and exhale to come from the heart.
Sense the flow of your breath opening and expanding your heart chakra.
Inhale love,
Exhale love.
Inhale love,
Exhale love.
And in a moment I'm going to count down from five to zero.
And as I do so,
You'll gradually allow awareness of your surroundings to melt away so that you can experience yourself at the centre of a new scene.
Five,
You begin to feel lighter.
Four,
You begin to feel lighter still and it's almost as if you're weightless.
Three,
You release attachment to your surroundings and enjoy the sensation of floating.
Two,
You sense yourself elevating into the dark expanse of your consciousness.
One,
It feels like you're flying through the night sky.
And zero,
You have arrived somewhere new.
You're at the centre of a magnificent circle of standing stones located at the top of a green grassy moorland peak.
From this place it's possible to see across the landscape for miles and miles in all directions.
It's isolated but the knowledge that there's nobody else present delights you because you feel so at home in nature and you relish the serenity and peace.
Pause to enjoy this feeling.
It's mid-morning on the summer solstice.
The sky is bright blue and there's not even a single cloud in sight.
You can feel a gentle warm breeze on your face.
The breeze of the English summer.
And as you look up at the sky you notice a fabulous hawk coasting on the warm air currents surveying the moorland from above as if it owns this place.
In a spontaneous gesture of joy you raise your arms,
Palms up towards the shining golden sun and feel your solar plexus activate in this moment.
You form a connection with the sun drawing its brilliant rays through your palms.
The warm radiant energy flows down your arms,
Through your heart and straight into your belly where it swirls and spirals transforming your solar plexus into a golden vortex of power.
You become aware in these moments that your inner sun is shining and your entire meridian system is alive with a divine flow of fire.
And as you stand there,
Palms raised,
Drawing down the sun,
You are transformed into a luminous being of golden light.
A deity of the summer solstice.
A stream of consciousness manifests and in your mind's eye a fascinating golden geometric symbol begins to form.
It sparkles,
Fizzes and shines as if it's being forged from pure sunlight into a precious cosmic metal that's rarely ever seen by the human eye.
It is a symbol of your divine potential and your creative power.
As you connect with it,
You become aware of all the infinite possibilities of your life path.
As you tune into its unique frequency,
You are aware of all the opportunities you have the power to create for yourself.
You understand that anything you desire is available to you in abundance.
Loving relationships and nourishing friendships.
Success in business,
In your career or wherever you choose to invest your energy.
Opportunities to learn,
To play,
To make music or art,
To explore and travel,
To meditate,
To rest,
To experience pleasure.
It is all available to you.
It is all possible.
In accordance of course with your divine desire.
You begin to celebrate yourself.
You remember that you are an incredible being who is connected to all that is.
You remember that you have a very unique soul plan and soul signature and that you have a purpose and a mission to fulfill.
You remember that you are dancing through your life's journey,
Learning your self-elected lessons along the way.
You remember that you have a special contribution to make to the lives of others and the world around you just by being you.
You feel an incredible surge of love in your heart and you're filled with gratitude.
You understand that it is truly a blessing to be you.
You understand that there is nobody else you would rather be.
You understand that there is nowhere else you are meant to be other than here and now in this moment.
And you are aware of how perfect it feels to be at the center of your own beautiful reality.
You lower your arms and the flow of sunshine energy subsides so you decide to lay down in the soft grass beneath you and place both hands on your heart.
Returning to focus on your breath,
You feel so awe-inspired that you decide to take some time to bask in the warm sunshine and allow yourself to process and integrate what you've just experienced.
Come back to the awareness of your chest rising and falling as you breathe and sense how soft and relaxed your body feels as you once again notice the serenity and peace here on the grassy moor.
You notice the lone hawk has circled round and it swoops down to land on one of the standing stones just a few steps away from you.
It is so close that you can appreciate the intricate spots and herringbone patterns of its silky feathers and you can even meet it eye to eye.
You understand that this hawk is a guardian who is here to watch over you and you feel so safe in this knowledge that you start to drift off into a sweet contented sleep.
I'm going to be silent for a few minutes so that you can rest here.
You can process and integrate or just relax.
And when I next speak,
I'm going to call you back because this journey will be complete.
It's time to return.
So in a moment,
I'm going to count up from one to five and when I reach five,
You'll open your eyes and be alert and awake in a normal state of awareness.
One,
Focus on the dark space behind your eyes again.
Two,
Breathe your awareness back into your body.
Three,
Send some roots down to the core of the earth to ground and anchor yourself.
Four,
Wiggle your fingers and toes and choose to inhabit your physical body fully.
And five,
Slowly open your eyes.
Welcome back.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Namaste.
