Welcome to today's Guided Meditation,
In honor of the summer.
Today, we are going to be sending all negativity
to the earth and allowing ourselves to bloom
with gratitude.
Begin in a comfortable position
with eyes closed.
Connect with your breath...
Feeling the gentle rise and fall of your chest.
Notice the natural rhythm of your breath...
and allow it to soften and slow down.
Breathing in...
And out.
In...
And out.
Imagine yourself now in a field
surrounded by thousands of flowers
whose blooms are gently closed.
Be present with any challenging
or negative thoughts or emotions
that you may be moving through...
Do not let them take you over.
Simply be present with them.
Breathe in deeply...
And as you breathe out,
allow all negativity to trickle down your body
to the base of your spine and into the earth...
as if you were a flower,
sending it through your roots...
Giving your pain to the soil.
Once more, breathing in....
that may be moving through you...
And breathing out...
giving it to the earth.
Let's practice gratitude.
Think now of the beings in your life
that you are grateful for.
This could be friends, family, coworkers,
or perhaps even animals.
Send them all love and gratitude.
And as you do this
the flowers around you begin to bloom.
Allow your heart and your emotion
to open wide and bloom as the flowers do.
Think now of the things
you have accomplished recently.
Send yourself love and gratitude.
Breathe deeply and bloom.
Think of the ways you have grown recently.
How you have changed as a human being.
Send yourself love and gratitude.
Breathe deeply and bloom.
Just be present
with this feeling of blooming gratitude.
Letting it stretch out far and wide...
Across the field of flowers.
Connect again with your breath...
Feeling the gentle rise and fall of your chest...
Feel the cool air entering your lungs...
And the heat of your breath as it exits your body.
Move about in any way that feels good...
Slowly coming back to your body
in this time and space.
And whenever you are ready...
Slowly open your eyes.
