Welcome to this healing forest meditation.
Take a few moments to settle in to a comfortable position.
You can be seated or laying down,
Feeling supported and relaxed to stay here for our time together.
Allow your breath to start to slow down and deepen,
Breathing fully in through your nose and breathing fully out through your mouth.
Breathing in cleansing and clarifying energy.
Breathing out any tension or stress.
Breathe in to replenish.
Breathe out to relax.
Take a full deep breath in through your nose and hold at the top for a pause.
Breathing fully out through your mouth,
Letting it all go.
Do that one more time.
Take a full deep breath in through your nose,
Holding at the top for a short pause.
And breathing fully out through your mouth,
Letting it all go.
Allow your breath to find its natural calm rhythm.
Breathing in and out through your nose if that's comfortable.
Take this time for you to just be here now in this moment.
It is safe for you to take this journey back to you.
Back to your heart.
Opening to the essence and truth of your being.
Opening to healing.
Imagine for a moment that you are standing at the edge of an ancient woodland forest.
You have arrived to a sacred place of rest,
Peace and healing.
Complete ease.
Total relaxation.
Breathe it all in and deeply exhale into this space.
In your mind's eye,
Walking slowly forward,
You are invited by the trees to enter this sacred healing forest.
Warm sunlight streams through the tall canopy above,
Flowing down into your crown and filling your entire body with ease,
Comfort and peace.
Notice the texture of the tree's bark,
The colors of their leaves and how their branches reach out expansively.
Breathe in this pure,
Clean air.
Listen to the song of birds in the distance,
Reassuring you that you are always connected.
Notice a gently flowing,
Clear river,
Soothing and serene.
Soft,
Fresh,
Green grass under you.
A deep healing power you are connected to at all times flows through the earth,
Flows through all of your senses and body.
Place this healing available to you now,
Breathing it fully in and letting it move through you as you breathe out.
Soften and loosen any tightness.
Relax any tension.
Your intuitive mind,
Heart and body connected in the same way nature heals,
Restores and regenerates itself.
In each season,
After every storm,
Rejuvenating and mending,
Growing,
Regaining flexibility and strength,
Rooting down,
Rising up towards the light without limitation,
With courage and calm,
So natural,
With ease and freedom to be you,
To be here now.
Trusting yourself,
Trusting the unfolding.
Listen to the gentle breeze blowing through the trees.
Feel the earth holding,
Supporting and grounding you.
Warm,
Nourishing sunlight surrounding you.
The gentle flow of the river inviting you to let go and release.
Let her take anything you want to let go of.
It is okay and it is safe to let go and release.
Surrender.
Release.
It is time now to move forward with freedom,
Confidence and equanimity.
Connected to the peace and healing of nature all around you.
A deep wisdom inside,
Guiding you with each step,
With each breath.
Feeling the relaxing and healing taking place in every place it needs to.
Flowing down from the top of your head,
Through your third eye on your forehead.
Flowing down,
Healing,
Opening and relaxing your throat.
Flowing deeper down to your heart center.
Softening and soothing.
Flowing down to your solar plexus above your belly button.
Honoring your intuition and knowing.
Healing flowing down below your belly button to your sacral.
Energizing and sparking inspiration and abundance.
Flowing down to your root,
Grounding and connecting you.
You belong to you,
Safe and secure.
Healing flowing down all the way down to your legs,
Through the soles of your feet,
Back to Mother Earth where the cycle begins again.
Restoring,
Renewing,
Rooting,
Rising.
Always connected to her.
Imagine now,
Dissolving everything you've discovered in this sacred healing forest into a golden light surrounding you.
This light is filled with healing,
Peace and comfort.
Have this golden light of healing into your body now.
Let it fill and permeate every part of your body and mind,
Settling at your heart center.
Place both hands over your heart center.
Seal in this healing and comforting light.
Take a deep and refreshed breath in through your nose and an alert and clear breath out through your mouth.
Do this one more time,
Deeply breathing in,
Refreshing breath and breathing out,
Alert and clear through your mouth.
Start to become aware of your surroundings.
Notice the clothes and air on your body.
Gently returning to the here and now.
Praying this healing,
Ease and comfort with you into your day or night.
And when you're ready,
In your own time,
Slowly opening your eyes.
Let it fill and permeate every part of your body.
