For this practice,
Lie down on your back,
Extend your arms and legs out on the floor,
Then softly close your eyes.
Imagine you are landing in the most beautiful garden,
Yet this garden is special.
This is a sacred garden of peace.
In knowing this,
You already begin to let go.
Here you are surrounded by the wonderful sounds and sense of nature.
The flowers are in full bloom,
The fragrances exquisite,
And the birdsong is so beautiful.
The magnificent trees enveloping the space are the support for a nourishing grounding.
Settling more deeply into this expansiveness,
You sense the freshness of the vibrant green grass,
The gentle breeze caressing your skin,
And you feel bathed in the warm rays of the sunlight.
The preciousness of this moment is an awe-inspiring reminder of Mother Nature's grace.
All giving way for an even deeper gravitational descent into her benevolence.
Allow your vision to now become more vivid,
Where you are clearly being transported into a glorious experience of serenity.
Bring your left hand to gently rest on your heart,
And your right hand to your belly.
Through the tender touch of your hands,
Feel the rise and fall of your chest and belly while you breathe.
Several slow,
Deep,
Full breaths here.
Now bring your hands to rest by the sides of your waist,
With your palms facing up.
Continuing to breathe deeply,
Witness the way your breath so freely and easily travels around the form of you.
Let these next few breaths support you in stretching your awareness out into the whole of your shape,
Inhabiting both the length and width of you.
As everything within you begins to slow and settle,
Allow the outer edges of your shape to also release,
Where the perimeter of you softens and a palpable calm emerges.
Through this calm,
What we are really tapping into is our highest presence.
Witness a deepening in the connection you are having with yourself through attuning to your beautiful breath.
Now go a step further with your breathing,
And let your exhalations lengthen.
Let your exhalations become a little longer than your inhalations.
Your exhales help to release what's no longer serving us,
To let go of any lower vibrational undercurrents,
Anything that's weighing heavily on our heart or our mind.
Every difficult emotion and transgression can be released through this kind and tender process.
Through this clearing,
Can you feel yourself drifting further and further into presence where a beautiful softening is occurring throughout?
The resonance of softening resembles clouds floating across the sky,
Bringing such a comforting and soothing feeling to our soul.
Through softening,
We create the conditions to forgive more easily.
Let your breathing be very gentle and natural now,
While continuing to allow any negativity to alchemize,
Where purity of heart returns and all is quiet everywhere.
Now welcome the possibility of your body becoming weightless,
Where you are gently lifting off from the ground,
Floating through the clouds into the vast sky.
As you soar flying high,
You see Mother Earth there,
Brilliantly sparkling in radiance.
Mother Gaia is the provider of all.
She is holding all of humankind.
She holds our grief,
Loss,
And sadness.
She holds our joys,
Triumphs,
And celebrations too.
We are all being supported by her.
Through this remembrance,
You smile in enormous gratitude.
The way we honor her is to extend this generosity back to her through our presence of being as our highest service.
Notice your perspective is shifting into one of spaciousness,
Where here you can glance into an area of your life that currently feels challenging or perhaps even overwhelming.
And though what's happening in your life may not be your mind's preference,
It is through this spacious view that you remember you are both human and divine,
Where here you can forgive yourself for simply being human.
We are forever evolving beings,
And the information we had at the time of this experience was the awareness we had then.
It is only now that we can make a different choice.
And through this greater understanding,
We locate the grace in this situation to fully forgive ourselves.
Silently repeat to yourself,
I release what's no longer serving me now.
I release what's no longer serving me now.
I release what's no longer serving me now.
Allowing here what the mind perceives as a mistake instead is now being recognized as great learning.
As we choose to see all these experiences through the lens of our heart,
Immediately we elevate,
Where we invoke compassion,
Thus raise in vibration.
Sense a flood of compassion permeating throughout.
Place your left hand on your heart.
Let us now send a healing transmission,
This compassion in the color of rose quartz pink into this situation with all involved.
From your heart into this context,
You send healing to clear up any misunderstandings with highest intentions for all involved.
May all that feels difficult here be transmuted back to love.
Understanding as this grace is the way we also extend unconditional love to our great planet in deep reverence.
Feel your heart expanding where you are filled with liberation.
Now the blue sky slowly turns to dark,
Where the night sky is shimmering with millions of stars,
And so easily you receive the moon's luminous glow.
Effortlessly,
You guide yourself down to earth,
Where you softly land in the space of your body,
Fully inhabiting every part of you.
Through the feeling of your body touching ground,
You reaffirm your connection to earth and simultaneously open to the joy of touching new ground within.
Feeling safe,
Held,
And fully stationed in your heart,
Let everything settle even more as you enjoy all the wonderful sensations you are experiencing now.
Take a few moments in quiet to receive wisdom or guidance.
Very gently roll to one side,
Then press with your arms to slowly come up to sitting.
Sit up nice and tall.
Turn the palms of your hands to face up on your legs in a gesture of receiving.
Every part of you still.
Every part of you shining,
Holding the fragrance of love.
Whenever we connect to the light of our hearts,
We return to the feeling of love.
The feeling of love brings a glow to every part of ourselves,
And when we are overflowing with light,
We hold ourselves in elegance.
Take one more pleasurable breath in and slowly exhale,
Smiling.
Fold your hands in prayer,
Bowing into the light of you.
Thank yourself for getting grounded.
Take your sacred inner garden as the reminder of the abiding peace that resides within you at all times,
And for holding this presence for all around you today.
Thank you so much.
I bow to you,
And namaste.
