I'm Dave Harding,
This is a guided meditation reboot you.
Please make sure you're sitting in a comfortable position where you can just gently drift off if you like.
Certainly not listening to it while driving or any other activity like that.
So find yourself in a comfortable position and just allow yourself to begin to relax.
One of the easiest ways to begin to relax is just by focusing all of your attention on your breathing.
That's right,
Just regular breathing.
As you're breathing in,
Taking in the air and oxygen,
With every breath out,
Just simply letting go of any stress or tension that might be there.
You might soon notice that each breath can be more relaxing than the breath before that.
As each breath allows you to feel deeper,
Deeper and deeper still with every breath.
Just allow you to relax more and more with every breath.
Feeling safe,
Comfortable,
Secure and relaxed with each and every breath.
Simply more relaxed.
For today,
We,
You and I both are going on a very special journey.
A journey of transformation.
A journey of relaxation and new discoveries.
This could lead to a profound,
Gentle change.
Not only in the hours,
But the days,
The weeks and the months that follow.
I'd like for you to know that wherever we go on this journey,
You are protected.
No matter where we go,
You will always hear my voice,
Knowing I am here,
Right here with you.
So take a deep breath now and meet me at the starting point of our journey.
It's a grassy field,
A bit like one of those old fashioned airport landing strips.
Only there are no planes here.
No helicopters,
Not even hot air balloons.
Imagine though,
If you could,
Because you can,
You know,
That a tiny selection of friendly dragons greet you.
Perhaps they're different shapes,
Different colours,
Different sizes.
But there's one.
There's one that is waiting for you,
Specifically.
And you approach it.
Of course it has been ready and waiting,
And you gently climb aboard its back.
Then much like a plane on a runway,
The dragon begins to take giant steps before it launches into the air.
Finding the air currents,
The updrafts,
Ever so gently.
Perhaps even responding to your fingertip movements as you guide and allow the universe to guide us on this journey.
You may notice that sensation you get when you have been somewhere before,
Perhaps many times and it feels so familiar.
As you allow yourself to rise and be lifted by the currents,
Up higher,
How easily you're supported,
How gentle it is,
The warmth,
The comfort as you gently fly towards the clouds above.
The air feels fresh and sparkling on your face.
The sun is shining on your back.
You continue rising gently towards the clouds.
You even begin to feel like you're touching the clouds as they dissipate into the brilliant white and swirling patterns.
Perhaps even feeling a little cooler,
The moisture on your forehead,
Hands,
Even your mouth and throat as you continue higher and higher still.
Gently breaking through the other side to the most magnificent sunshine and a sky of pure blue.
So powerful,
So beautiful.
The clouds below looking like a soft carpet,
The type of soft carpet that you could easily drift off to sleep in.
So comfortable,
So pleasurable.
As we drift higher and higher when you notice over there in the distance,
A castle that appears to be floating in the air.
The sunshine reflects its golden spires.
The pure blue sky reflects off the white shimmering walls.
We draw nearer and nearer.
You notice the banners gently waving in the breeze.
A sight all too familiar.
You notice the courtyard with sparkling fountains and a magic lake.
You feel for the currents of the air which allows you to circle lower and lower,
Gentle spirals towards the courtyard.
So grassy,
So green.
The clear open in Beggen.
So we descend gently,
Gently landing.
As we step down from our dragon onto the ever so soft,
Lush,
Green,
Velvety,
Fresh cut grass.
There's no one else here.
The castle has been waiting for our arrival for a long time.
Where it's time to make our way to the magic lake.
It looks like water but also unlike water.
It's somehow lighter and somehow different.
And as you do,
You test the waters with the tips of your fingers.
Eventually your whole hand,
And you notice how energizing and cleansing the energy feels.
So fresh,
So delightful,
Yet warm and welcoming.
As you step into the magic lake,
You begin to float and swim.
Perhaps like a dolphin.
It's as if the magic waters take away all your cares and worries.
And those ones that are embedded deep within,
The ones you might not even know about or long forgotten about.
You take a deep breath and dive under the exhalation.
As you do,
You become aware of a golden light from below.
And you instantly know the reason for this journey.
The reason lays at the bottom of this lake.
Slowly,
Steadily,
As you swim towards the light source.
Become aware of your ability to continue breathing so easily.
As you gently make your way towards the source of the light.
Deeper and deeper within.
The light getting brighter,
The deeper you go.
Brighter and brighter.
Deeper and deeper.
Continue breakthrough the service.
And you are in another place,
Another space,
Another time.
Quite unlike any other you have ever experienced before.
You step from the lake and you look around and see the most wonderful colors.
Colors that sing.
Colors that welcome you home.
Musical notes that turn into stars.
Perhaps even touching you gently as they do.
Sending shivers of pleasure and wonder throughout your very being.
Your mind,
Your body,
Your soul.
Become aware of your wet clothes and you take them off.
Being aware that with each and every item of clothing that something inside of you begins to shift.
Just little bits at a time with each and every article of clothing.
Those things that perhaps you thought you should be.
Each and every article being laid down a little more shifts within you.
Placing each article on the velvet ground of the deepest blue beside the lake.
It feels good.
As you begin to release these restrictions,
A spark of insight enters your mind and you realize there are layers and layers on the inside.
You remove the layer that identifies you by your political beliefs and place it down.
You remove the layer that identifies you by your religious beliefs and you place that down.
You remove the layer that identifies you by your title and you place it down.
You remove the layer that identifies you by your occupation and you place it down.
You remove the layer that identifies you by your gender and you place it down.
And then remove the layers that identify your achievements and your failures.
You place them down.
And all the layers that identify you by your decisions,
The hurts,
The pains,
Your values,
Your memories,
Even all concepts of time,
You place them down in the velvety brown of the deepest blue.
And finally,
You remove your name and your physical being and place it down beside the lake leaving the purest you there ever is.
You remember where you are.
You remember why you are.
You remember how you are.
You remember what you are.
A magnificent part of creation that is a wonder of consciousness where all is love,
All is good.
All time is as it is,
As it has been and will be.
And all is quiet.
Still.
All is love.
This is your home.
It is the beginning and it is the ending as well.
And it is the now of who and what you are.
Remember to bring what you know you to bring here and immerse yourself in the enchanting lake.
You might notice the cleansing,
The healing,
The energizing,
The reinvigorating,
More profound,
Sparkling,
Feeling alive in every way,
Totally rejuvenated.
Feel it in its glory.
Feel it through every atom,
Every cell,
Every molecule,
The quantum particles and all the spaces in between.
Just feel it.
And then returning to the velvety ground of the deepest bloom where it is time to return to your physical form and with everything cleansed,
New and bright.
Take back only the political beliefs that serve you.
Take back only the religious or spiritual beliefs that serve you.
Take back only that which you want to be identified by title and occupation.
Take back your gender.
Take back your successes,
Your dreams,
Your ambitions.
Take back your joys,
Your memories,
Your learnings and all of your responsibilities.
Take back your decisions,
Your values,
All concepts of time that are relevant for you and finally take back that which you want to be identified by as your name and with it all the love,
All the self-love and all the respect that goes with it.
Feeling a sense of just knowing,
Just being in total awe.
You look around one more time,
Perhaps expressing gratitude for all that there is.
You jump back into the enchanted lake,
Swimming towards the light at the bottom where you transcend and resurface in the courtyard.
We're awake.
And we laugh with delight.
I notice immediately how much happier you are.
Calm,
Peaceful and so radiant,
Just shining from within.
Make our way back to the dragon and you might just notice how it has transformed in this space too.
Notice the changes.
As you reboard the dragon and we begin our ascent into the pure blue sky,
Upwards,
Onwards,
Away,
Higher and higher,
Where the castle becomes a fading memory in the background.
It just disappears off the horizon,
Swooping delightfully towards the soft,
Fluffy clouds below.
Pure blue sky all around,
The warmth of the sun.
You dive through the clouds,
Slightly misty and again somewhat cleansing,
Breaking through to the daylight below.
Gently heading towards the landing strip,
Gliding,
Returning home.
The closer we get,
The more you become aware of the here and now,
Who you are,
Where you are,
Your joys,
Your delights.
Knowing that your conscious mind will begin to think differently now.
And then touching down,
Peacefully.
Remembering whatever you need to remember.
Feeling energized,
Positive,
Refreshed,
Revitalized and different in so many ways.
You step down from the dragon,
Bidding a fond farewell.
Looking back into your body now,
Taking a moment to scan your very being.
Perhaps noticing how different things are.
Enjoying,
Delighting,
Being this being at this time,
In this place.
A sense of knowing.
That this time is now your time.
In a moment I'll be counting down from 5 to 1 to bring you back into full awareness.
Or just noticing how different everything can be now.
Noticing all there is to notice about you now.
So starting at 5.
We're nearly there,
So you're feeling brighter and more awake.
4.
Wiggling your fingers and toes,
Becoming more aware.
3.
Beginning to stretch and feel more alive than perhaps you have in a long time.
2.
Opening your eyes,
Gently coming into full awareness now.
And 1.
Welcome back,
All wide awake.
Knowing that there's a sense of knowing,
And of being,
And of loving you.
With nice respect.
