RIVER OF LIFE MEDITATION
|
||
|
|
by Van Ault
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Find a comfortable place where you can relax and be completely
|
||
|
|
quiet...relax...allow your thoughts now to just come and go...come
|
||
|
|
and go...and take a deep breath in and hold it...(pause)...now
|
||
|
|
gather up the tension in your body, and release it as you
|
||
|
|
exhale...take another deep breath, and as you exhale, let go of
|
||
|
|
anybody else's energy or thoughts you may be carrying....and
|
||
|
|
breathe in new energy...breathe in 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...feeling very light now...so light you could almost float
|
||
|
|
away..........
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And as you relax, imagine a beautiful colored mist is swirling
|
||
|
|
up around you, billowing up around you into a cushiony, soft,
|
||
|
|
cloud of energy...and you are resting completely upon this
|
||
|
|
cloud...and you are safe...as you breathe in and out, let your
|
||
|
|
thoughts just come and go...relaxing more and more...and the cloud
|
||
|
|
of energy now lifts you up into the air and carries your down into
|
||
|
|
your own inner world...down between the boundaries of time and
|
||
|
|
space...to a place of timeless beauty and infinite
|
||
|
|
possibilites...floating down now, going deeper and deeper, leaving
|
||
|
|
the outer world and its concerns far behind, as you drift and
|
||
|
|
float on this beautiful cloud....going further and further...down
|
||
|
|
below you is a rock, a giant rock...and the cloud gently and
|
||
|
|
effortlessly lands upon the rock and you step off it, as the cloud
|
||
|
|
swirls back into a mist and disappears for now.........
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Stand upon this rock now, and feel the strength of it under
|
||
|
|
your feet...and as you turn around, you look out upon a great
|
||
|
|
river...flowing as far as you can see...seeming to come from some
|
||
|
|
infinite place...and disappearing into an infinite place...a
|
||
|
|
flowing, endless river of energy...this is the river of all life
|
||
|
|
waters...all of life draws upon the lifeforce that moves through
|
||
|
|
its steaming 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 your rock, notice and fragrance...and bend down and cup your
|
||
|
|
hands in the living water,and 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........
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now relax a moment upon the rock...and bring into your mind
|
||
|
|
the magical intention that 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?...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 externalize...the energy
|
||
|
|
of it is now shimmering,glowing...swirling into a sphere...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..........
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When your sphere is completely filled with the last of your
|
||
|
|
desire, emotion, and intention, hold it aloft...feel the power of
|
||
|
|
it in you hands, a globe of power that you can now release...and
|
||
|
|
look out into the river of life...watch as its currents of
|
||
|
|
possibility flow for ever and ever,as far as you can see...and
|
||
|
|
whenever you're ready, with as much and as little force as you
|
||
|
|
need, throw the pulsating sphere into the river...and give this
|
||
|
|
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 disappears the last of your
|
||
|
|
intention and emotion and desire merges with the source of all
|
||
|
|
life, from which it originally came...and leaves you........
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now complete any business here that you need to finish...take
|
||
|
|
a few moments to enjoy the flowing river of life,and know that the
|
||
|
|
possibilities it nourishes can bring miracles into your life
|
||
|
|
too..........
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Take another deep breath, and notice tha colored mist is once
|
||
|
|
again swirling around you...billowing up underneath you to form a
|
||
|
|
beautiful cloud of cushiony energy, which is lifted up into the
|
||
|
|
air, with you upon it...relaxing into the cloud you are returning
|
||
|
|
the way you came...lifting up up through time and space, coming
|
||
|
|
back from the inner world...coming up... further and further...
|
||
|
|
floating and drifting back...coming back...bringing you all the
|
||
|
|
way back into your body now, into this room...bringing your
|
||
|
|
attention completely back into this time and place...take a deep
|
||
|
|
breath and begin to re-orient yourself to the outer world...and
|
||
|
|
when you're ready, count to three..., and on the count of three
|
||
|
|
open your eyes,and return feeling relaxed, alert and at peace.
