Meditation Script:

Find a comfortable place to be in your body, seated or lying down. Find a deep breath

in, aware of any tension in the body. As you exhale, relax whatever tension you

can. Deep breath in, aware of any busyness of mind. As you exhale, invite calm

to the mind. Deep breath in, aware of your emotional space. As you exhale,

invite lightness to any heaviness of emotion. Close your eyes.

Here, imagine walking along a rugged path in the woods. Imagine the sensation of small

sticks and fallen leaves crunching beneath the supportive shoes around your

feet. Feel the subtle shift in texture as you continue walking over and across small

stones and the roots of trees. Imagine walking slowly, mindfully, feeling every

footfall, observing a light breeze moving leaves on trees. Imagine feeling the

coolness of the breeze on your skin, warm rays of sunlight cutting across blue

sky and branches.

As you walk, suddenly you see a door in the middle of the path. What color is the door? What shape is the door knob? What does your door look like? Reaching out your hand

to open the door, you notice bright light beaming through the small crack in

the door. As you continue to gently push the door open the bright light beams

brighter and you feel the sensation of warmth and the feeling of love washing

over you. Stepping through the door, you become fully enveloped in this wash of

warmth and love, the light too bright to fully open your eyes, you close your

eyes, and rest. Standing still in the light, you feel a deep sense of calm and

connection to yourself and all life.

Taking another step forward, you find yourself again amidst the nature of the woods,

standing upon dirt and rock and leaf and grass, feeling connected to the living

trees. Letting go of this image, bring your awareness back to the support

beneath your body, to the air on your skin in the space you’re in. Aware of

your breath, sensation in the body, your mental and emotional space, bring

gentle movement to the body. Wiggle your fingers, wiggle your toes, waking up

the body. Then blinking open your eyes, moving with a greater sense of love and

ease into your day.
