Please listen to this meditation
In a place where you can safely sleep
Begin
Please imagine yourself
In a clearing
Next to a tranquil forest
You're far away
From the noise and busy thoughts
of everyday life
you are resting
in a wide open clearing
lying on a soft
bed of moss and wild grass
the air is fresh and cool
tinged with a scent
of pine needles
and blooming forest flowers
sunlight filters
gently through the tall
canopy above, creating soft golden shapes that dance across your skin like warm feathers.
You're safe here, you belong here, round you, the sounds of the forest, weave a gentle
lullaby, birds call to one another, with sweet melodic shirts.
leaves rustle quietly in the breeze, and somewhere nearby, water murmurs as it flows over stone,
and you take a moment to settle in. You're so comfortable here. You let your body grow still and heavy,
and you can still move, and get into that comfortable position that is right for you.
so please take a slow, deep breath in through your nose,
hold it for a moment and slowly exhale,
letting go of any stress or tension.
So let's do that again.
Breathe in deeply, feeling the cool air,
hitting your nose and breathe out,
releasing tension, worries and the weight of the day.
With each breath, you feel yourself, sinking deeper into the soft earth beneath you,
and you bring your awareness to your body, and you feel the wave of relaxation,
smoothing over your scalp, soothing the lines in your forehead,
softening your eyebrows and unclenching your jaw and you move this warm, gentle awareness, down your neck and shoulders, letting them drop a relapse as if a soft breeze is brushing away all the tension and you feel this calm, moving into your arms.
Down through your elbows, wrists and into your fingertips, your chest rises and falls peacefully.
Your heart is steady and calm, and you let this wave.
Of relaxation continue downwards.
Relaxing your stomach, your hips, your thighs, and it moves down to your knees, your calf.
and it moves down to your knees, your calves, your ankles,
all the way to your toes.
Your whole body is relaxed now,
as if it's melting into the earth.
Beneath you, you are completely safe,
completely held by nature.
And when you're ready,
you slowly sit up,
and begin to explore.
You rise with ease.
Curiosity in your heart
and you begin walking quietly
through the forest.
The ground beneath your bare feet
is soft and cool.
It feels like a velvet,
sprinkled with pine needles and tiny petals.
Each step is slow and steady.
guided by a peaceful rhythm.
To your left, you begin to hear it.
The soft gurgle of a stream.
It's very light and is very calming.
And you begin to follow it, and you follow it to the trees.
And you see it in the distance
with a light shimmering off its surface.
And it winds gently through the trees.
gently through the trees, clear and sparkling like melted crystals, and you begin to follow it,
wondering where it goes, and as he follow it, through the trees, birds fly through the branches.
Nature is alive, yet completely calm, and the sunlight dances on the surface of the stream,
and the water kisses the stream rocks as it flies.
The stream leads you around a bend, deeper into the heart of the forest,
until you reach your place.
Very few ever find a hidden place, a hidden creek,
wrapped in green ferns,
and tall grasses.
And it opens before you like a secret garden.
The air here is even cooler,
filled with a scent of water, stone and blooming jasmine.
And the sound of the stream grows louder and fuller
until you see it at last.
The waterfall
It rises before you
Like something from a dream
Tall and peaceful and glowing
With a gentle silvery light
The water spills from the cliff
Above you
In smooth
steady sheets
It shines in the sunlight
Like threads of
liquid glass. There's a gentle mist floating in the air, wrapping around your skin,
like a soft veil. You can hear it. It's so deep and rhythmic. A sound that fills your chest and
makes your whole body feel still and awake at once and tiny rainbows.
Flicker, where the sun meets the mist, and the rocks around the pool are smooth and wall.
In inviting you to stay, the water looks alive but not wild. It's calm, it's steady,
it's healing, and you step closer, drawn by the beauty and the peace of this place, it welcomes you
welcomes you. It's been waiting for you here. And you pause. And you breathe it all in.
The scent of fresh water. The glow of golden light. The gentle power.
Or the waterfall song. Your heart is calm. Your body is still and you have arrived here.
You stand on the edge of this waterfall, its rhythm is strong and steady,
with the surface of the pool glowing with a soft turquoise shimmer,
the air around you feels charged with quiet energy.
You hold onto this moment as it belongs only to you,
how the droplets fall from above,
each one catching a sliver of sunlight, creating an endless dance of sparkles on the water,
it swells at your feet and you take your first step into the water.
And it welcomes you.
It's cool at first, but not cold.
It's perfect just for you.
Just enough to wake up your senses in the soft,
your feet sink slightly into the smooth riverbed, cushioned with pebbles, smoothed by time,
and you pause feeling the texture beneath your feet, letting the corner seep in, and you feel
the corner, sleep in, and you feel so good, and you take another step, and another, and the
water gently rises around you, up to your knees and then your thighs, as you take each
step towards the waterfall.
The sound of the waterfall grows louder as you approach.
It's not loud in an overwhelming way, rather it fills you with a gentle heartbeat
that echoes inside your chest.
It's steady, it's grounding, and you begin to match your breathing to its rhythm.
And you inhale and you exhale.
And the water is at your waist.
And you lift your arms out, slowly.
and now you can catch the mist and droplets on your skin as they feel like fine dust and you take a step beneath the waterfall now.
At first it's like walking into a living light.
The water cascades over your head and shoulders, flowing like warm silk down your back and chest.
You can feel the weight of it, but it's not heavy, it's grounding.
The sound surrounds you now, and everything else fades.
The chatter of your thoughts becomes softer than quieter until they dissolve into the rushing hush or the falling water.
The water feels like a gentle massage on your body.
caressing your muscles, releasing any tension from the top of your body all the way down to your toes.
Any tension, any stress just goes and flows out of you as each drop of water washes it away.
The tightness in your neck releases.
The pressure behind your eyes eases.
The heaviness in your chest lifts as if the waterfall has taken the weight of the day off your shoulders, off your chest.
It's saying you don't have to carry this anymore slightly.
Letting the water flow down your spine.
It just washes away anything.
that doesn't serve you anymore.
Anxieties,
old thoughts,
tired emotions.
They just slide away,
dissolving into the current,
and you are left lighter and freer,
and you tilt your face up to the stream,
and it's like having a soothing shower of water,
flow over,
your face, your hair, your forehead.
And this water is truly washing away, all stress, all worries, all anxieties.
And it's making you feel so good.
So healed, it's so amazing.
Like there's a light inside of you, beginning to bloom, beginning to feel your
body with positive energy and you feel it filling every part of your body as the water
washes you clean, washes you into a perfect state of mind. You can stay here as long as you
need to. You can stay here in the stream of healing water with that glowing feeling now inside of you.
No one needs you. No one is waiting. This time is just for you. And the forest waits patiently around you, honouring your silence and your transformation. You begin to breathe even deeper now. As you sense, the birds flying around. Nature continuing. As you inhale peace and exhale everything.
else. Your breath is deeper, bit more effortless. Your thoughts are light and slow. And you know
that you feel healed now. The healing has begun and it will continue even when you leave this waterfall.
And you feel so relaxed, so calm, so at peace. This
calm, settles inside of you, and you just relax and drop your shoulders.
And this moment of peace is now bold of you.
Always here, always within reach.
That relaxing, calming sensation is with you.
And you feel so good and so at peace and so free and so safe and so still.
Only now you begin to step out from beneath the waterfall.
The healing water slips away from your skin like a silky breeze.
Leaving behind warmth, calm and a sense of a lightness that fills your entire body.
Every muscle is soft.
Every breath is easy.
And you gently wade.
through the crystal clear pool
and you step onto the mossy shore
where the earth greets you
and the air feels even softer than before
and you've been refreshed by your healing
and beside the creek
waiting just for you
is a soft woven towel
warmed by the sun
and you wrap it around yourself
letting its gentle fabric embrace you.
It's thick and cozy,
with a faint scent of cedar and clean linen.
As it hugs your shoulders,
a deep sigh escapes your chest,
a final breath of release.
A few steps away is a quiet resting place.
May just for you,
Maybe it's a hammock
stretched between two trees
gently swaying in rhythm with the breeze
or perhaps as a bed
or an area of soft moss
with blankets tucked beneath a window tree
whatever it is
you can go there now and lie down
and let yourself sink in
and the surface moulds perfectly
to your body.
No pressure,
no tension,
just perfect support
and the sky has shifted
to twilight
and the forest
glows with a soft blue light
and fireflies
flicker in the ferns.
The sound of the waterfall
remains but more gently
like a quiet whisper
of a lullaby far away.
You hear it blending with the wind, the birds and your breath.
Until it becomes one peaceful rhythm, you are warm, you are wrapped in calm and every part of you.
Knows it's time to rest.
Your arms grow heavier, your legs still.
The world becomes quieter and quieter, until it fades into the soft hum of sleep.
You feel yourself floating, weightless between dreams and peace, cradled in the arms of the forest, held in the memory of the waterfall, safe and loved.
And sleep comes now, softly sweetly, like the final ripple is tall.
