Welcome to this meditation,
The hammock.
So please get seated or lay down if you wish.
Closing your eyes and take a deep deep breath in with me.
Release and relax.
So welcome to this short meditation.
We're going to go on a mind journey.
When you have physically stilled yourself in a place of peace,
Know that your mind can take you on a magical journey.
First is to feel grounded to Mother Earth.
This often includes connecting to wonderful trees that are so important to us all.
To see the body as the trunk and the leaves and branches the complete body.
With the head the highest as if closest to the sky and sun.
Breathing fully in and see the feet that walk the earth with pure balance.
Have roots that keep us here.
The ground is always home wherever we are.
Now the roots are best seen going deep into earth.
To the centre,
To a toma.
We know earth is not flat but a big ball.
So we go to the centre to feel anchored.
Feel the love and beauty of earth.
As we do share the earth with all the animal kingdom and nature.
All of which is very beautiful.
Focus now on your mind.
The abundant imagination.
So we can go on a journey through colour.
Then a story and here's a new one called the hammock.
And what a beautiful hammock.
It is a real stripey one.
All the colours of the rainbow.
Hangs in a warm salty breeze from a coconut tree.
It's waiting for you to come and sit down in it.
But first the feet must cross the white powder sand.
Every step gravitates you to a place of beauty and peace.
Simply wash your hands of tired old thoughts.
And mount yourself on the hammock.
It tickles you to sway like a baby in a cradle.
But all the elements of beauty surround this ocean.
The ocean sounds and warm sunshine.
And this marvellous coconut tree.
That seems to be made perfectly for this rainbow hammock.
So as you lay nothing physically is required.
There is no outer work but in a sense an inner replenishing of yourself.
We come on a physical,
Emotional and spiritual level.
And run everything on mind power.
So for now the physical body is still.
Ever so gently suspended a few feet above the white sand.
And a rooftop of sky.
The ears pick up on the rhythm of the ocean.
You too are in rhythm as the sea wind breezes through.
Carrying you as part of all that is now.
It is time to examine first the emotional you.
Can we first find all the things you are grateful for.
Keeping it positive.
For life offers a long journey of many things.
Is it time to feel good about ourselves.
Just by thinking.
Followed by feeling.
And when we examine the deeper parts of not so good.
Are they not simply lessons of life in this lifetime.
Can I gain the wisdom.
Can I step into my power.
Breathe in this breath that belongs to you.
It comes on the air only you can take it in.
And it enters your life force energy.
The heart so very much the key to your emotions.
We know love holds all the power you will ever need.
We accept a lot of things.
Like this hammock.
This beach.
This wind.
We see the balance of nature.
Everything flows through it and in it.
There is time here to collect your thoughts.
And file them neatly into place.
A chance to update our belief system.
To put our emotions into logic.
And let the brain run smoother and happier.
Breathe in for many things will make sense before you finally depart this beach.
Allow yourself to smile a little.
To understand even when we are still.
We are still manifesting always our future.
Let those thoughts be kind.
Let your aura find its balance.
Find its identity in this lifetime.
And so the next time you enter a new day.
Followed by a night.
Fully aware when laid to bed.
Now is a special time.
When still but alive.
Replenishing and manifesting.
So may your days and evenings be a comfort.
Like this rainbow hammock.
In this beautiful location.
Breathing in.
Enjoy this moment.
The sway of the hammock.
The movement of the wind.
The smell of the sea.
The warmth of the sun.
Laying on a rainbow striped hammock.
Held by a coconut tree.
Feeling at one.
Everything here is flowing as one.
Aware finally the point of holidays is to feel special and to reward yourself between work and play.
To take those breaks.
Take a slice of peace.
And we shall return fully replenished.
.
.
.
It's time to return.
But feeling refreshed.
Let's wake up to the count of three.
One.
Two.
Three.
Waking up.
Open the eyes.
Eyes wide open.
Fully refreshed in the here and now.
