Welcome to your meditation time today,
My love.
It's an honor to have you here with me.
Find a comfortable seat.
You may even wish to lie down.
Really,
Wherever you are,
Comfort is absolutely key here.
Finding all the blankets and pillows,
Anything you need to feel extra supported and nurtured.
Really able to kind of find a quiet,
Calm space for the body.
As you get settled,
Taking a few deeper cleansing breaths.
Sigh out the exhale.
Another one.
One more.
Begin in our mind's eye to create the image of the most magnificent tree you have ever seen.
See if you can just allow an image of a strong and powerful tree to come alive in front of you.
You may wish to choose to imagine standing in a field.
Beautiful summer day.
And taking in everything about this tree that calls to you.
Maybe it's the magic of how the bark wraps around the branches.
Maybe the colorful,
Vibrant leaves.
Just the essence that this tree puts off that helps remind you of your truth.
Remember who you are and your infinite worth and potential and power.
And as you continue to connect with this energy of the tree,
I invite you to come closer to it and find a spot where you can rest against the trunk.
You may wish to lean against it,
Lie down by it.
There's no right or wrong.
Just see if you can find a relationship where you're a bit closer in proximity to the tree's energy.
And you can feel the shade and protection of the leaves above you.
And as you're connected with the nurturing,
Strong bark of the tree and the roots and the earth,
Really feel grounded here.
Held.
Supported.
Nurtured.
Where can we let go and find a bit more ease and release?
Where can we allow the energy of the tree to hold us together a bit more?
And for us to let go of that holding together pressure.
As you breathe in and out,
You also will become aware that the tree begins to put off a magical color.
It's almost as if you can see the tree breathing itself.
Absorbing in the oxygen,
The carbon dioxide.
As you exhale,
Transforming that through its leaves and turning that back out into fresh nutrients,
Fresh oxygen for you to breathe in once again.
Imagining as you breathe in,
You're breathing in the energy that the tree is giving you.
When you breathe out,
Anything that no longer serves you,
Offering it up to the earth,
To the clouds,
To the tree leaves.
And just observing that the tree takes that in and absorbs it and transforms it,
Giving you back life and oxygen and space to breathe.
Begin to feel that this color,
Whichever color you imagine this energy to be coming at you with.
With each breath begins to gradually fill your entire being with a bright light.
You may start to notice it in your belly,
Right at the base of our rib cage.
Imagine a sun shining,
Shimmering light.
Again,
It can be any color,
Whatever seems to resonate or come up for you.
Seeing if we can absorb that energy inside of us and then release out what no longer serves us,
Offering it up to the tree,
To the earth.
Making space to just be still and find quiet rest here.
Trusting that the tree and the space that this symbiotic relationship creates helps quiet the storm and the noise and the chaos in our heads.
Perhaps even almost becomes a rhythmic quality that soothes and calms you.
As you become aware of this light beginning to shine so brightly that it emanates outside your pores.
Even maybe playing around with expanding out that light,
Maybe even six feet,
Eight feet around us as if it's a magical force field.
We can allow in and out whatever energy we want and this magnificent filter keeps all the crap out that we don't need or want.
See what that feels like to have this extended layer of protection and boundary around us.
And then perhaps you pull that light energy back in and maybe it's only a tiny little spark in your belly.
Playing around with how big and how bright the light is and how that shifts how you feel in your body.
There's no right or wrong way to do any of this.
Simply allowing whatever shows up to show up.
And to invite healing and whatever is there for us to receive here for our highest good.
Begin to realize that you have this ability to connect with this energy,
This rooting,
Grounding,
Tree-like energy anytime you need.
It's as simple as closing our eyes,
Reconnecting in,
Remembering that we are not alone,
That we are part of something much larger than ourselves.
We just forget that.
You are worth so much extraordinarily more than you can ever imagine my dearest.
There's so much magic in store inside of you that's waiting to come out.
Your voice matters.
What you think matters.
Your perspective matters.
May this space and rest help you feel more clear on what that message is.
Who are you?
What do you have to offer the world?
And how can we do that more fearlessly?
Because the world needs what we have to share more than we need to look perfect or polished or whatever nonsense our brain comes up with to keep us from digging in and being real here.
Vulnerability is strength y'all.
Let's lean into that.
But also make sure we take this time to rest and build ourselves back up and feel nice and contained and solid in our sense of self.
I love you.
I believe in you fiercely.
Anytime you need a reminder or a return to this practice,
You are welcome to listen to this once again.
It is such an honor to be a part of your journey.
I wish you the best and the most wonderful day ahead.
Namaste.
