Meditation Script:

 Today, we’ll focus on the third eye chakra. The third eye symbolizes intuition and

imagination. Bring your attention to the space between your eyebrows. Imagine an

indigo or fresh prune-colored light spiraling round the center of your forehead down to

the space between your eyebrows and then spiraling back behind your eyes to the

back of your head. Take a deep breath in, deep breath out, imagining this

spiral moving down your cervical spine to your thoracic, lumbar, across the

back of your hips, and down to your tailbone. Deep breath in, deep breath out.

Imagine that indigo spiral, circling around and up from your tailbone, up

through your spine to the base of your skull, behind your eyes, and returning

to the center of your forehead.

Tuning into your intuition, allow your body movement as

intuitively feels good for you. Perhaps you sway or turn your head from one

side to the other. Perhaps you roll your shoulders up, back, and down, shift

your hips, or wiggle your fingers or toes. Find what bit of movement feels good

for your body in this moment.

Now, engaging your imagination, bring to mind the image of a

sky at sunset, covered in white puffs of cloud, with soft hues of indigo glowing

behind and feathering out between the few clear spaces between clouds. Imagine

you’re lying on soft green grass, gazing up at the sky, watching the clouds

pass in the warm breeze of a summer evening. As you rest here in this imagined

space, notice the shapes of the clouds above you. What shapes or objects do you

see? Keeping one image in mind, imagine reaching out your hand, feeling the

effort and stretch of your muscles as you reach your arm up, opening your hands

wide to extend your fingers, then that cloud turning into the object you

imagined, and floating gently down to land in your hand. Observe the object,

seeing its color or colors, dimensions, shape, and feeling its weight. Then

lifting the object back up toward the sky, watch it become a cloud as it rises

from your hand and back up into the indigo glow above you.

See the scene you’ve imagined begin to fade, as you find a

deep breath in, deep breath out. Bring awareness to the space you’re in. With

your eyes closed, see what you can recall of the objects in the space around

you. Bring attention to the feel of the support beneath your seat, the air on

your skin. Feel the cool air come in through your nose as you breathe in. Feel

the warm air touch your upper lip as you breathe out. Notice sounds. Notice

your breath and any sensations in your body, tension, ease. Observe your

emotional space. Feel, breathe, be. Again, bring any movement to your body that in this

moment intuitively feels right for you. Move through your day or into rest with a sense of

lightness, intuitive knowing, and a renewed sense of curiosity and wonder.

Thank you for meditating with me. Peace.
