Guided Meditation - Magic

Tomorrow is the full moon and it is time to focus on your relationships with others and with the world.  I will not write much before leading you into this meditation.  I want this meditation to be truly yours without my influence.  My interpretation and experience of this meditation may be very different from yours and that is perfectly fine.  I do hope this meditation brings you relaxation and comfort. 

Read through the meditation and then close your eyes.  Remember what you can but let your own unconscious lead you where you need to go.

Take a few deep breaths and close your eyes.  Find yourself walking across a desert.  The ground is parched and cracked.  There is very little green to be seen around you.  The air is hot and dry on your skin.  Walk along and feel the dry earth beneath your feet.

Up ahead you see a woman waiting for you.  She holds out her hand as you get closer and you take it. You walk along in silence for a few minutes.  Feel the warmth of her hand and the peace that radiates from her.  You feel calm in her presence and know this is exactly where you are meant to be in this moment. 

She then asks if you can sit down for a moment.  She sits on the hard earth and you sit across from her.  She again takes your hands and places them into a bowl in front of you.  She also forms her hands into a bowl and touches her fingertips to yours.  As you watch both of your hands fill up with water.  She drinks from her hands and then signals for you to do the same.

You drink the water in your hands.  You feel the cool water on your lips and feel it slide down your throat.  It is crisp and clean and you can’t imagine anything tasting better in this moment. 

The woman then forms her hands into a bowl again and it fills up with water.  She pours the water on the ground between you and the water seeps into the earth.  As you watch, the cracks in the earth begin to heal.  The earth begins to soften underneath you and grass sprouts up and grows quickly into a carpet around you. 

The earth as far as you can see is starting to come to life and become green.  Plants and trees sprout and grow to full height in a matter of minutes.  You begin to feel cooler in the shade created by the plants around you.  You relax as the earth around you grows and you take a deep breath.  The air now feels moist and lush. 

The woman takes your hands again and places them into a bowl.  She places her hands around yours and your hands fill again with water.  She indicates that you should pour the water on the ground.  Once you do, you see a green sprout pop out of the earth.  The sprout grows and becomes a beautiful flower.  You watch it grow and bloom in front of your eyes.  It stops growing at its most perfect point of beauty.  The woman smiles.  You feel so blessed to have been included in this magic.  The woman places her hand on your chest as if to indicate that the power of this magic is inside you as well.

She rises and you join her.  She takes your hand again and you walk through this altered landscape.  You feel so connected to this woman who has given you this amazing experience.  You full feel the joy of being with her and the awe for what you have seen.  You know you will remember this feeling for a while.

Soon the woman stops walking and takes your other hand.  She looks you in the eyes for a few moments and then kisses you on both cheeks.  You look back into her eyes and send her a silent thank you, for all she has given you.  Without a sound she releases your hands and walks away through the forest. 

Take a few more moments to feel this peace and look around your environment.  When you are ready, hear the sounds around your physical body.  Wiggle your fingers and toes, and when you feel ready, open your eyes.

Take some time now to at least jot down some notes if not write full journal entries.  Writing in your journal after meditation can give you an experience as powerful and informative as the meditation itself.

How did you feel in the desert?

Do you feel that way in any part of your life?

What area of your life needs some tending and care?

What would you like to grow in that area of your life?

How did you feel in the company of your guide?


How can you bring more of that feeling into every day?

Guided Mediation - Use this Energy

Is your intuition still strong from the solar eclipse energy?  Mine sure is.  Take advantage of it on this Full Moon.   

Take good care of yourself over the next week as you will need some time to recuperate from all this energy swirling over the past month.
  
Read the following guided meditation and then close your eyes and remember what you can.  Take whatever wisdom and relaxation you are given.  Whatever direction your meditation takes is exactly correct for you.

Take a few deep breaths and close your eyes.  Find yourself walking towards a large old mansion.  The mansion has not been kept up and looks run down and weary.  As you get closer you notice the front door is slightly ajar. 

When you reach the front steps a gust of wind blows by and opens the door even wider.  You walk through the open door and look around for any signs of life.  There are no sounds and it is pretty clear that no one has been in these rooms for a long time.

You walk through the dusty rooms and see there is still some furniture under sheets and even some pictures on the walls. You walk over to one of the pictures and blow off the dust.  A beautiful young woman is in the picture.  She looks happy and her eyes twinkle.  It reminds you that this must have once been a place of joy although those days are in the past. 

As you come to the end of a row of rooms you see a staircase that leads up into a turret room.  The stairs look sturdy and you are curious to see the view from the top of the turret. You walk up the stairs and notice that there are a few rooms near the top.  The doors to these rooms are shut but they do not seem as dusty.  The stairs at this part of the turret are clean as if they are being used.

Therefore you decide to know before entering these rooms.  You knock on one of the doors and hear a faint sound from inside.  You open the door slowly and see and old woman sitting in a straight back chair near one of the turret room windows.  The room is clean and seems comfortable although it is small and does not have must furniture.  There is a small but ornately carved bed, a dresser, a few trunks and chairs and table in front of which the old woman sits. 

She looks at you and smiles and you see the twinkle in her eye and recognize her from the picture.  She waves for you to join her in the chair across from her at the table.  You sit and look out the window and the view is beautiful.  You can understand why the woman has chosen this part of the house to occupy. 

The woman asks you to tell her about yourself and you give her a brief overview of your current life.  She asks how she can help you.  Ask her for some guidance.  She says that she can give you the wisdom of the very old who are less connected to this world and closer to the next.  Listen closely to what she tells you.  It may not be received in world but in pictures, ideas or even just feelings.  Take what is given and there will be time later to consider what it means.  You may ask a more specific question if you have one. 

Thank the woman and ask if you can do anything for her.  She asks you to pour her a glass of water from the pitcher on the dresser where there is also an empty glass.  You hand her the water and she takes a long drink.  She tells you it is the simple pleasures like quenching thirst that sustain her now.  She asks if you can also get her the book from the top of a pile of books on the floor.  Retrieve the book and you can look at the title before you hand it to her.  She takes it an places it on a stack of books next to her on the table.

She thanks you and you thank her again and say goodbye.  You head out the door and back through the steps.  You walk through the mansion to the front door and back outside.  Walk down the front steps and away from the mansion.  As you walk down the drive you look back at the mansion.  You see a small hand wave to you although you can't see her face.  You smile as you wave back and then continue to walk down the drive.

Begin to hear the sounds around your physical body.  Wiggle your fingers and toes, and when you feel ready open your eyes.

As soon as you can write down some notes about the meditation.

What did the woman tell you?

Could you tell what book she was requesting? 

Does that book have any meaning for you?

How can you commit more to yourself?

What wisdom is your own intuition giving you?

How can you support yourself in moving forward?

I really hope you enjoyed this meditation.  I enjoyed writing it so much.  I write these with my eyes closed while going through the meditation and I found this one very powerful.  I hope you do two!

Vacation Meditation ASMR

The Berkshires are one of my favorite places in the world.  I went to college there and visit often.  My family had a cottage there so I never actually stayed at the Porches hotel but it is a place I will definitely get to some day: http://www.porches.com/.   Mass  MoCA is my favorite museum in the world and if you are ever in the area don’t miss a visit: http://www.massmoca.org/.   You can visit several times a year and always see something new.  These are both in North Adams Massachusetts and this area of the US is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been and it will always have part of my heart.

I’m going to take you on a trip to one of my favorite places.  You are going on vacation and you’re driving through the Berkshires in Massachusetts.  It’s a beautiful fall day.  The leaves have all changed colors but they are still on the trees.  You are driving through the hills with the beautiful colors surrounding you.  As you drive through the small towns you may stop to get coffee or a sandwich.  You can stop in Great Barrington to have a sandwich the deli.  You can keep driving through and stop in Lennox or Lee and have a coffee or do some shopping.  Cute little towns along the way with small stores and restaurants for you to peruse, but your destination is up north, going to the Porches hotel.  You check in to your beautiful room at the Porches hotel and sleep after your long drive through the Berkshires.  The next day you can visit the museum of art across the street, at Mass MoCA.  It has one of the largest galleries for contemporary art and their exhibits at always interesting.  You can head into town to have lunch, while you enjoy the rest of your day and plan your vacation.  There is lots to do in the Berkshires and you have several days to relax and enjoy your time.

I want you to remember that feeling of relaxation as you start to return to the room.  You can wiggle your fingers and toes and when you feel comfortable you can open your eyes.  Remember meditation changes your mind.

ASMR Meditation for Beginners (spa)

Welcome to change your mind meditation.  I want to find a comfortable place to sit or lay down, and if you feel comfortable close your eyes.   If you have been doing these meditations you have probably started to build up your lung capacity so we are going to increase the length of time of the breathing.  So, we will still start off with an in breath to the count of four and exhale to the count of eight; releasing any tension.  Now take a deep breath in to the count of five and exhale to the count of ten; let yourself relax.  Take a deep breath and to the count of six and exhale to the count of twelve if you can; deep exhale.

Now, even out your breathing.  Feel that breath coming in through your feet and as you exhale release any tension in your feet.  Inhale into your legs and as you exhale release any tension in your legs; in your calves and your thighs.  Take a deep breath into your torso and let your stomach relax; release any tension in your back.  Take a deep breath into your arms and as you exhale release any tension in your shoulders and your hands and your arms.  Take a deep breath in to your head and your neck and as you exhale let your forehead relax, your jaw relax and the back of your neck.  Take one more deep breath into your whole body and on this final exhale release any remaining tension you may hold in your body.   

Now we will begin our relaxing spa day.   You have been looking forward to this as your time to relax.   You’ve gotten there early so you can use the sauna and the steam room and the hot tub and there is even a cold punge.  You go and sit in the steam room and inhale and exhale as you relax.  You may decide to try the cold plunge and then run quickly to the hot tub to warm back up.  As you allow yourself to relax you know you have all day.  You can enjoy the spa and relax before you even get to your treatment.  You may try the cold plunge again before heading to the sauna to dry off a bit and then go to the relaxation room to wait for your treatment.  You may be getting a facial, or a massage, or a scrub, maybe a manicure and pedicure; whatever you desire.  Knowing that after your treatment you’ll again get to use the steam room and sauna and relax for as long as you would like.  There is tea and coffee and snacks so you can enjoy a long day at the spa.  You are already feeling so good and relaxed even before treatment and you are excited about your upcoming treatment.   

I want to remember that feeling as you start to return to the room.  You can wiggle your fingers and toes, and when you feel ready you can open your eyes.  Remember that feeling of relaxation and anticipation of your upcoming spa treatment, and keep that feeling for the rest of the day.  Remember meditation changes your mind.

It's My Baby's Birthday!

Now I want you to picture that you have the whole day ahead of you to do whatever you want.  This is your perfect day.  You can think about who you want to spend your time with.  Where you would like to be?  What you would like to do.  Will you spend time with family, with friends or will you just take a relaxing day by yourself with no obligations.  If you could choose anywhere where would you be on this day?  Is it a place that you have been before or just some place that you imagine will be perfect?  What will you do with your day?  Break you day up and think about how you will spend your morning.   What will you eat?  Where will you go?  Who will you see?  How will you spend your lunch hour?  Maybe you will take a lunch two or three hours.  How will you spend your time in the afternoon?  Where would you like to be?  What would be fun to do?  Or, do you just want to relax.  How will you spend your evening?  What will you have for dinner?   Will you go out later in the evening, or will you go to sleep early and get your rest?  Whatever it is, it’s your perfect day.  Remember that feeling of excitement and joy in having that whole day to yourself.  When you feel comfortable start to return to the room.   Hear the sounds around you.  Feel where you are sitting or lying down.  Wiggle your toes and your hands and think about if there is any way you can incorporate some piece of your perfect day into one of your upcoming days to remember that feeling and experience some of that Joy.  Remember meditation changes your mind.

Don't Miss Saxaphone Day

Now I want you to picture yourself in an airplane. You are on vacation.  You are just starting your vacation and you’re getting ready to land on the island of Bali in Indonesia.  You look out the window of the plane and you see the volcano ahead, and you look like you’re going to land on the water you are so close to the water. At the last minute the runway comes up and you land the airport. You go to your hotel by the beach, and enjoy some relaxation on the beach or by the pool as you recover from jet lag.  That night you go out to taste some of the local food; some fried fish or duck with rice or just some rice with vegetables and peanut sauce.  You enjoy walking around you could spell spices in the air, feel the humidity.  It’s warm and comfortable; at night there is a slight breeze and cools down a little bit.  The next day you make a point of getting a massage and local spa and that evening catching a local gamelan (Indonesian orchestra) and dance performance.  As you are back in your hotel you think about your plans for the rest of the week in Bali.  You may go up into the mountains where it’s a bit cooler;  go to the monkey sanctuary or go to see the volcano. Your whole week is ahead of you with plenty of time to relax.  I want you to keep that feeling as you start to return to the room.  Hear the sounds around you.  Feel where you are sitting or lying down.  You feel relaxed and energized by in little trip.  Remember the dictation changes your mind

Yes! It's National Candy Corn Day

Welcome to change your mind meditation.  I want you to find a comfortable place to sit or lay down and if you feel comfortable close your eyes.  I want you to take a deep breath in to the count of four and exhale to the count of eight.  Another deep breath in to the count of four and exhale to the count of eight.  One more deep breath in to the count of four and exhale the count of eight.

 

 Now I want you to picture that breath coming in through your feet.  Even out your breathing and as you exhale release any tension in your feet.  Take a deep breath in to your legs and as you exhale release any tension in your calves, in your thighs and your knees.  Take a deep breath into your torso and when you exhale release any tension and anxiety you may hold in your stomach.  Take a deep breath into your arms, release any stress in your shoulders and your hands. Take a deep breath into your head and as you exhale just relax your forehead, your jaw and the back of your neck.  Take one final deep breath into your whole body and as you ex hale release any remaining tension. 

 

Now I want you to think about a situation in your past for which you hold some guilt.   Don’t place any judgment on it.  Just remember the situation, almost as a third party.  Remember what happened.  This situation may cause you anxiety to think about but try to remove yourself a bit and just remember what happened.  Now I want you to picture yourself sitting in the chair and I want you to act as if the person in the chair is a good friend of yours that had come to you seeking advice.  They tell you about the situation.  What are the things that you tell them to comfort them?   Make them feel better about the situation.  How would you feel about a friend who told you about this situation?  You probably would judge the much less harshly than you judge yourself.  Think of what you tell them, and absorb information. Comfort yourself.  Remember we are human we make mistakes. We learn from those mistakes and move on.  Remembering and changing our behavior as a result is useful, but that guilt feeling is not and can be debilitating.  So reach over and give that friend in the chair a hug, and try to release a least a piece of that guilt into the universe.

 

Now I want you to start to return to the room where you’re sitting, but still remember that feeling of care for yourself.  Hear any the sounds in the room.  Feel where you’re sitting or lying down.  When you feel ready if you would like you can open your eyes.  Thank you for taking this time today. Remember meditation changes your mind.
