Settle in.
Get comfy.
Whether you are seated or lying down,
Just take a moment to adjust.
Maybe put a little blankie on.
Do whatever you need to do and when you're ready,
You can close down your eyes.
Taking a couple of relaxed breaths.
Breathing in easily.
Breathing out easily.
And I want you to take a moment to just feel your body.
Feel that connection with the surface beneath you.
Whether it's a chair,
A couch,
The bed,
Or the floor.
Just feel that connection.
And as you continue to breathe and relax,
I want you to take a moment to send your body,
Your physical body,
Some love.
And if you want,
You can give yourself a hug while you're doing this.
Just think about the fact that your body is breathing.
Your heart is pumping.
Blood is circulating.
Your muscles,
Your joints,
Your nervous system,
Your fascia.
All these amazing systems that your body is just doing.
Your brain.
Everything's just running in the background.
Even when you sleep.
Your body keeps you alive.
Your body keeps you healthy.
Detoxing.
Digesting.
Doing so many things.
And so I always like to take a moment to just recognize that.
Recognize your physical,
Beautiful body for doing all of these amazing things.
Just keeping you alive.
And as you breathe in,
Feel that gratitude.
Feel that love.
That respect.
Sometimes we can be really hard on ourselves.
Maybe picking apart our physical appearances.
And so we're going to do something completely different.
And we're just going to thank our bodies.
And give these bodies love,
Appreciation for everything they do for us.
And as you continue breathing,
Just settling in for this journey,
I want you to feel those shoulders dropping.
Maybe placing your hands in your lap or hand on your heart.
Another hand on your lower belly.
Feel the muscles relaxing.
Maybe in your neck,
Wherever you hold tension,
I want you to just breathe into that area.
And with each exhale,
You're going to relax even deeper.
Just coming into this sacred moment together.
Coming into this time that you have put aside to connect.
Maybe to connect within.
To connect to a divine connection.
Or higher life.
Your higher self.
And just sending some love.
Letting your light shine.
Feeling that glow for a moment.
With the intention to heal ourselves.
To heal others.
To heal this planet.
To bring peace,
Hope.
And as you continue to breathe,
I want you to picture this beautiful rainforest.
And whether you have been there or not,
I want you to picture the rainforest on the Big Island of Hawaii.
There are no poisonous creatures in this rainforest.
It is lush,
Green and thick.
All you can see are these beautiful,
Tall trees.
These gigantic flowers and plants.
They're larger than anything you've ever seen before.
And as you observe this rainforest,
You decide to just take a walk.
There seems to be a little bit of a trail away through the woods.
And I want you to just start exploring and moving through this beautiful forest.
And the one thing you notice here,
And on the islands of Hawaii overall,
Is the smell.
The fresh,
Sweet smell.
It's a combination of flowers,
The earth,
The ocean,
The trees.
It's so clean and clear.
And as you continue walking,
Just taking in everything that is bouncing into your senses.
You're listening to beautiful birds singing.
Maybe hearing the rustling of leaves together.
The gentle breeze.
And as you continue walking,
You notice that there's this beautiful little hut.
But it's all windows.
The walls,
The ceiling.
And as you approach,
You can see inside.
And there's a bed,
A little dresser,
A bookshelf.
As you approach the hut,
The door opens gently,
Inviting you in.
So you take your shoes off outside of the hut,
And you step in.
This is the most beautiful oasis that you have ever seen.
The blankets on the bed are so cozy.
The view is phenomenal.
Surrounded by greenery.
There's a little lamp on the bookshelf.
It is the most perfect space.
You climb into the cozy bed,
And as you look out,
A gentle rain starts to fall.
You can hear the rain tapping on the glass above you.
Looking up,
You can see all of the trees and those beautiful rain drops dripping down the wall.
Just in complete awe of this amazing sanctuary that you have found.
You pull the blanket over you and just snuggle in for a moment.
Observing the rainfall.
Feeling safe.
Feeling warm.
And knowing that this is a place where your worries,
Your stress,
Your to-do list,
All of the things that may be burdening you in your waking life,
They were left outside with your shoes.
They couldn't even make it in.
And so you feel lighter,
Brighter,
And so completely peaceful.
And I want you to just look out one of the windows for a couple of moments.
Just feel the energy that surrounds this little hut.
Feel the light.
Feel the healing of the forest.
Feel the hope and the knowing that everything is going to be okay.
I'm going to give you a couple of moments in silence.
And as you are looking around,
You notice just outside of this beautiful little sanctuary,
There's a Japanese soaking tub.
It's just outside of the sliding door,
And you decide that that is exactly what you need in this moment.
You are in complete privacy.
There's nobody around,
Just the trees.
And as you go outside,
You notice that you are instantly in your bathing suit,
And you decide to climb into this soaking tub.
The temperature is perfect.
Not too hot,
Not too cold.
And of course,
You are facing this wonderful view once again.
You have a covering over your head so that you're warm all over.
You can still see the rain falling through the trees.
It is so peaceful and so quiet.
And as you soak in this tub,
You feel a tingling sensation.
You feel this beautiful connection with the water and the land around you,
A deep reverence.
Thinking about the water that was gathered from the rain to fill this soaking tub.
You think of that smell of the soil and the whole process of renewal.
When a leaf falls and it works its way back into the soil,
Feeding the tree that produces another leaf.
You start thinking about nature and our earth in a totally new way.
Feeling a body buzz.
Just knowing that you are deeply connected.
A couple of moments pass and you climb out,
Finding a lush robe to wrap yourself in,
Drying off.
And your soul feels like you are at a neutral point,
Like you've let go of your stress,
Your worries,
And your to-do lists.
And you feel neutral,
Clean,
Clear,
Ready.
You pull on some nice,
Dry,
Cozy,
Warm clothes.
And notice that the rain has stopped.
So you decide that you would like to explore a little more in the forest.
You're not even sure what you're seeking.
But you just want to walk through this land on the big island of Hawaii.
The longer you walk,
The more you notice a glow up ahead.
You're pretty sure you know what it is,
But you decide to keep walking and confirm.
Just feeling the energy of the forest once again,
Knowing that you are safe.
And as you walk,
You listen.
You smell the air,
The flowers.
Eventually,
You reach the edge of the forest,
And the sky above opens up into a blue sky.
A gorgeous,
Beautiful blanket of stars.
There's no light pollution,
Just the sky full of stars.
You stand for a moment in awe of this majestic scene before your eyes.
Taking in this magical world that we live in,
Maybe not realizing how much true beauty there is.
And feeling grateful for experiencing this moment.
And as you lower your eyes back to ground level,
You notice this great,
Big,
Clearing in front of you.
No trees.
It looks barren.
You decide to continue walking across this open space towards the glow that you noticed earlier.
The ground is harder.
The energy is even stronger.
The energy has shifted into more of a passionate,
Upbeat,
Excited energy.
And as you walk across the land feeling these little,
Almost electric zaps of energy,
You feel happy.
Your soul feels joyful.
And the closer you get to this glow,
The more apparent it is becoming that that is,
In fact,
A crater volcano.
That is Kilauea.
And so you get as close as you can,
Approaching the barrier.
And because it is nighttime,
All you can see are the stars above you,
The darkness all around,
And this giant bowl of orange,
Red,
And yellow.
And you can kind of see this steam coming up.
And the energy that you feel is so strong that everything you have been seeking in your life is being given to you in this moment.
From the land,
From Kilauea,
You feel love.
You feel strength.
You feel whole.
This deep,
Deep cellular healing is occurring.
Your body tingles with energy,
With aliveness.
You feel hope bubbling.
There's a knowing,
A trust that everything is going to be okay.
In fact,
Everything is going to be even better than it has ever been on our planet.
And as you stand observing this majestic sight,
You suddenly feel this duty to spread love,
To spread light,
To spread hope,
To be one of the people who shows others that there is joy,
Peace,
Love everywhere on our planet.
We just need to notice it and embrace it and then share it.
I'm going to give you just a moment to look into this beautiful volcano and to keep receiving this energetic upgrade.
Maybe you look up at the stars.
Maybe you keep going back and forth between the stars and the glow.
Just receive everything that you need to in this moment.
And I want you to take a nice,
Deep breath in.
And as you are breathing in,
I want you to picture yourself receiving as much of this good energy as you possibly can.
I want you to keep that energy in your soul,
In your heart.
Breathing in,
Feeling it in your heart.
And as you look into this Kilauea volcano one last time,
I want you to send your gratitude and love to our planet,
To Pele,
To Hawaii.
Just send your love and your support and acknowledgement of a connection making a commitment to shine your light,
To inspire others,
To spread hope and love and peace,
To trust and know that you are exactly where you are meant to be and that you have the power to make a positive change in this world.
You just have to believe in yourself.
Sending that love.
And as you turn and walk back across this vast land towards the rainforest,
I want you to really pay attention to each footstep as it connects with the earth beneath.
And feeling that glow deep inside,
Feeling like you've transformed,
You've shifted,
You've powered up.
Just let that permeate every cell and every part of you.
And as you continue walking,
You eventually meet the edge of the forest once again.
And walking back this time through a little bit of a different path,
But still just focusing on sending that love to the trees,
To the earth.
Maybe you're reaching your hands out and touching the leaves and the trees,
Just giving all that love back into the planet until you reach the spot where you started.
Just taking some relaxed breaths as you look around at this beautiful landscape one more time.
Maybe noticing a flower that you didn't see before,
Or a bird,
A plant,
Or a tree.
Maybe starting to deepen your breath,
Just for a couple of breaths to bring you back into the physical body.
Noticing once again where the surface beneath you meets,
Whether you're seated or lying down,
And just coming back into this physical body as that scene,
That forest,
Fades away.
That beautiful big island of Hawaii,
Just breathing easily.
Maybe starting to move your head around,
Your arms,
Wiggling your fingers and toes,
Just gentle,
Easy movements until you feel yourself back in your physical body.
Taking a nice deep breath in,
And when you're ready,
You can open up your eyes and gently come back.
Thank you so much for meditating with me.
Namaste.
Peace and awesomeness to you and yours.
