Opening activity ♡
Take a moment to hydrate with a favorite drink, warm or cold, whatever feels most comforting right now - perhaps tea, coffee, lemonade, water. Pay attention to how the cup feels in your hands, how the cup looks in the light of your space, the fragrance as you bring it to your mouth, then the taste and the sensation of your body receiving the nourishment.
Pre-meditation thoughts ♡
With meditation, be as comfortable as you can be, in a space where you can be uninterrupted. No rigidity is required; the body deserves comfort. Be cozy, either sitting, reclining, lying, or intentionally moving.
When you are asked to imagine, visualize, or “see” something, you may experience visuals, or perhaps you feel the sensations in your body, or have an inner knowing that this is happening, or have words surface into your awareness. There's no one right way, despite the language used. However you experience it all is perfect.
When doing the following meditation, feel free to read through it, then do it without referencing the words. In the future, I plan to record guided meditations.
Meditation experience ♡
Start by lowering your gaze or closing your eyes, focusing on your breathing, inhaling in a way that feels nourishing and filling, then exhaling and completely emptying. Continue with your breath for a couple of minutes, allowing your body and mind to soften more and more with each cycle.
Now imagine you are walking along a path that you recognize. Perhaps this is a dirt trail with wild nature all around you, or perhaps an urban sidewalk with a planter of flowers here and there. It's a place where you feel comfortably yourself. Don't worry about exactly replicating this place from memory - it is simply inspired by a previous experience.
As you walk along, take in the familiar, as well as the changes, with all five of your senses. What is around you? How does the sky look? How does the path beneath your feet feel? What do you see, hear, smell, feel, and taste as you walk this path? Soak in as many details as you can, letting your body fully feel the details.
Then, you see something that's not usually here. It is a doorway right in the middle of your path. What does this door look like? What is its color, shape, and texture? Is it simple or ornate? What do you feel when you see it? When you touch it?
On the door, you see that a note has been written. Looking closer, you read, "This is your doorway to feeling good." Take a couple of nourishing breaths, knowing that only what is most aligned with your highest good is on the other side of the door.
Now open the door and walk through. What awaits you? What does Spirit / Source, or your guides, or your highest good, or your subconscious want you to know about feeling good? Explore using all the senses available to you. Take your time. This is a daytrip into yourself. Allow yourself to soak in all the details, all the sensations. Stay with it, exploring or existing, for as long as feels good to you.
When you've felt and received as much as you want to feel and receive today, walk back to the door you entered. Know that you can bring all the good from this place back with you into your daily life. You step back through the door and close it gently behind you.
Walk back along your familiar path as you breathe fully. Refocus on your breathing for a couple of cycles. When it feels right, open your eyes again, rub your legs and feet, returning fully present and grounded.
