River of Life Meditation

This meditation is designed to re-connect you to your Spiritual & Personal self-it allows you to get backin touch with your dreams, personal goals and to desperse negativity thought patterns that may prevent you from your goals and objectives. Best recorded on a tape or have someone with a calm voice read it to you.

 


Find a comfortable position where you can relax, close your eyes and be completely still, completely silent. Within your mind, body and spirit relax, let your physical body simply slip away...allow your thoughts to just come and go...come and go. Take a deep breath in to the count of four and hold it to the count of 4 (pause), now gather up all of the tension in your body, release it as you exhale. Take another deep breath, and as you exhale, let go of anybody else's energy, negativity or thoughts you may be carrying....and breathe in new refreshed energy throughout your body, feel it enliven you...breathe in all the new possibilities...and allow your body to fill with lightness. Feel it becoming lighter and lighter as you relax more and more...relaxing deeply...going deeper and deeper...feeling very light now...so light you could almost drift away..........

As you relax, imagine a beautiful hued mist is swirling up around you, billowing up around you into a cocoon… a cloud of soft radiant energy. Allow it to encompass you entirely until you feel as if you are resting completely upon it... you are safe, you feel safe and protected...as you breathe in and out, let your thoughts just come and go...relaxing more and more as the cloud of energy now elevate you up into the air and carries you securely into your own inner world. Your secret sanctuary, your enchanted garden and magickal place between the boundaries of time and space...to a place of timeless beauty, peace and infinite possibilities- fields of fragranced flowers, lush green valleys, mountains adorned by the prism of sun-kissed skies and never-ending horizons. All this cloud to travel, showing you the beauty of your secret paradise until it gently starts floating down as you go deeper and deeper, leaving the outer world and its concerns far behind. Drifting and floating upon this beautiful cloud....going further and further down until below you see a rock, a giant rock...Gently and effortlessly the cloud lands you upon the rock and you step off it. The cloud swirls back into a mist and disappears for now...

Standing upon this rock, feel the strength of it under your feet, grounding you. Step from the rock now, feel the earth beneath your feet stabilizing you to the earth, smell the earth, be aware of this earth. Now turn around slowly, visualize yourself looking out upon a great river...flowing as far as your eyes can see and know that it flows on beyond the naked eye- know that is seems to come from some infinite place...and disappearing into an infinite place….flowing, an endless river of energy. This is the river of all life waters...all of life draws upon the life-force of this river that moves through its streaming currents. Look closely at the water...what color is it? it may look like liquid light to you...look deeply into it, and sense the power and depth of the river. What sound does it make as it courses through its channels?...as you stand securely upon the earth, go down to the waters edge, bend down and cup your hands in the living water, splash some of it on your face...feel the life giving force on your skin... take a sip of the water...allow the river of life to nourish you.... allow its cool, calming, purifying and refreshing energies to fill you and become a part of you.

Relax a moment upon the earth at the bank of this infinite river, breathe in all the aromas and sounds around you, feel nature at its most untouched and unscathed resources...bring into your mind the magical intention that for you never seemed to go anywhere...what were you trying to accomplish?...what was the basic intention you had?...what was the emotion behind the intention?...have you felt lost or abandoned on your life's path to your spiritual self?... feel the energy of that emotion moving onto the palms of your hands now...feel the energy glowing...pulsating...breathe and allow your intention that you're still clinging to materialize...the energy of it is now shimmering, glowing...swirling into a sphere within the palms of your hands...allow all of your desire to flow into this sphere...and allow this sphere to appear to you however it appears...and just observe what you see...you may see pictures or symbols emerging within the sphere...whatever you see is fine... take note of this images, remember these images.

When your sphere is completely filled with the last of your desire, dreams, emotions, and intentions, hold it aloft...feel the power of it in your hands, a globe of power that you can now release, feel it lift and leave your hands, lifting it up and up until it hovers above you, spinning and spinning into a vortex. Now look out into the river of life...watch as its currents, full of possibility… flowing for ever and ever, as far as you can see. Whenever you're ready, with as much or as little force as you need, project the pulsating sphere into the river...and give its intention to the life force of this great river...watch as the sphere touches the water...and gradually disappears into the current.Take a deep breath... as the sphere vanishes, the last of your intention, emotion and desire merges with the source of all life, from which it originally came...and leaves you...

Complete any business here that you need to finish; you may come into contact with Guardians, totems, Spirit guides, Angels, Voices etc. Take notice of what you see, smell and hear...fill your senses with the entirety of this special place so that it remains with you for all time. Take a few moments to enjoy the flowing river of life, and know that the possibilities it nourishes can bring miracles into you life too. Find the acceptance in yourself that you deserve great things; you are a powerful and resourceful being and from this moment on you will use this to better yourself, others and life's direction, know that you deserve guidance, love and light in your life. Find peace and leave with a peaceful mind, heart and soul. Turn your back to the river, take in one last breath of all the scents surrounding you- feel it regenerate you with positive energies leaving you feel at one with yourself. Return to the rock without looking back, wish you secret place farewell and know within your mind that you may return here whenever you need to.

Take another deep breath, and notice the colored mist is once again swirling around you...billowing up underneath you to form a beautiful cloud of cushiony energy, which lifts you up into the air. Relax into the cloud, feeling that you are now returning the way you came...lifting you up through time and space, coming back from the inner world...coming up and up... higher and higher...floating back...returning...bringing you all the way back into your body, back into this space, feeling the earth beneath you...brining your attention completely back into this time and place. Take a deep breath to the count of four, exhale to the count of four… and begin to re-orient yourself to the outer world, listen to the sounds around you, feel the breeze of the wind through your hair, smell the scents around you...when you're ready, count to three...and open your eyes. Feel relaxed, alert and at peace.
