You are lying in a lush,grassy meadow in the mountains next to a serene lake on a beautiful warm Spring day. The feel of the earth below you, a wonderful natural bed of support.
You gaze up at the billowy clouds above... floating in a sky of deep blue. Your thoughts drift as they do, some becoming larger, others dissipating into fragments of white and then nothingness.
You close your eyes and can still picture them moving across the expansive heavens...
Now you feel your body rise up just a few inches above the ground beneath you, hovering over the grassy field. And slowly, gently, wafting as the clouds above you, you begin to
ascend even higher.... and higher...and higher... until you are far above the meadow and the lake.
Looking down at the scene below you, you now have a beautiful new perspective on the valley. A magnificent array of blossoming trees in pink, and yellow and white...You breathe in all of their subtle sweet scents... the aroma of Spring.
The lake below you is like a blue-green jewel, glistening in the late morning sun.
A breeze blows through the grassy shores and ripples the reflection of clouds surrounding you from your heavenly perch.
You continue to float on your cloud now moving towards the majestic range of mountains surrounding this peaceful valley. The summit still covered in the snows of winter, now melting in the warm sunshine. You hear the rush of the cascading falls of water before you see them... and then they come into view. The sunshine sparkling off the water chutes produces a vibrant rainbow in every color... yellows and green and orange and purple... you can sense the mist cooling your face as you float quietly by...
You breathe in the cool, crisp alpine air...filling your lungs with life and invigorating your whole being.
The mountains seem almost alive with fiery hues of wildflowers covering their sides... They glow in the distance as you continue your journey.
As you find yourself moving now back towards your original place of rest, you hear the birds chirping, building the nests that will protect their young in the towering pine trees leading back to the meadow.
And now slowly, almost imperceptibly, you begin your descent... wafting, floating,
lower and lower until you lightly reconnect with the soft earth...
The grass feels cool beneath you as you rock your head slowly from softly from side to side
and close your eyes. The memory of all the sights, all the sounds, all the scents still wonderfully alive within you.
You are totally at peace.

Waterfall Meditation
Take a deep breath and picture yourself standing next to a beautiful, cascading waterfall, the sounds of the rushing water filling the air... you are standing close enough to feel a light spray from the falls mist gently over your face...
See yourself now inside this waterfall that becomes pure white light. Imagine this waterfall of light flowing down over the top of your head and down over your body, removing any stress you may be holding. See the beautiful crystal white light filling you and flowing into you, bringing you peace and relaxation. This waterfall is pure universal energy - pouring in through the top of your head and filling you with universal love and joy.
Imagine this white light now going directly to any parts of your body that need healing.
Take a few moments to breathe in these restoring qualities wherever you need them...Feel the light flowing through your body, aligning all the cells so they work perfectly... bringing your entire chakra system into balance - from your spine... your sacral area... the core of your being in your solar plexus... your heart area... and throat... the space between your brows... up into the crown of your head... a beautiful ray of healing light spreading to all areas of your physical and astral bodies...
Next, bring in the waterfall energy to strengthen your mind. Feel it giving you the power of better understanding and clarity of purpose. See the light filling your mind with the knowing that you are perfectly guided.
Rest easy now in peaceful repose...body, mind and spirit in flawless alignment.
The Breath & The Heartbeat
Close your eyes and listen...
Breathe...
Follow the wave of your breath
as you merge with the ocean of time...
Rising.... Ebbing.... Rising... Ebbing....
Imagine yourself seated in the chamber of your heart and
Become one with your heartbeat....
Your breath mingled with the pulse of your own sea within you.
Rising... Ebbing... Rising... Ebbing...
Allow your breath to take you even deeper now
Sinking into the space where thinking mind is released...
like a balloon floating higher and higher, in a blue, blue sky.... unbidden thoughts become more and more distant. You remain fully in the moment... secure in the womb-like chamber of your heart. Grounded. Connected now to the universal heartbeat.
Your awareness follows the tide of your breath.... Your inhale brings in coolness... flowing in through your nostrils, down your throat... filling your lungs and heart area with
healing white light.
Rising... Ebbing... Rising... Ebbing...
Your exhale brings a silent, gentle release... And in its wake, expanded space within your heart for all of the love that surrounds and fills you.
Each individual beat is a reminder of the preciousness of life;
Each unique breath, an invitation to move further and deeper into your innate spirit.
Continue to follow the path that your heart is clearing.
Breathe...Listen. Breathe.
Seaside Dance Meditation
It's just turning dusk on an autumn evening...
You walk along a wooded path, pine trees along the way ushering welcome,
the pungent scent of their needles wafting through the air...
Now you hear the sound of the sea calling...
You emerge onto an expanse of white silky beach- stretching seemingly forever.
The earlier sting of the hot sand now mellowed into a cool resilience beneath your feet. Feel the coolness massaging your toes, the bottoms of your feet, your heels as you walk towards the water.
The waves roll gently to and fro- the horizon a deep blue-black, the water at your feet becoming translucent as it melts into the white sand...
The moon above - almost half-full, casts a crescent glow over the rolling current.
You settle now onto the sand, merging into the tranquility of your surroundings...
The gentle breeze that caresses your skin, the velvety sand beneath you, the rhythmic waves rippling towards you and away...
Breathe it all in...
You sense a rhythm within you as well- an affinity with the sensations of the night.
Your inhale, the rise of the waves
Your exhale, their trip back to shore
Your heartbeat as well matches the cadence of the sea.
Beating.... beating... beating...
Breathe it all in...
The stars begin now to emerge one by one, mirroring thoughts that arise and either linger or sparkle and fade... Be aware of them and let them go.
Lose yourself in the timelessness of the moment- Recognize our oneness with all of nature...
The unity with the One Source, the oneness that abides in peace, balance and harmony... harmony with all.
Rejoice in the bliss of this seaside dance... Breathe it all in....
