RIVER OF LIFE MEDITATION
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 orriginally 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
you 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...brining 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.
As always, change any
of the wording or images in this meditation if it suits
your purpose better. The important part is just to
finally and completely let go of your intention, so that
the energy can be recycled in whatever form the creative
force and your own consciousness will allow. Out of this
release, new lives, new opportunities, and new magical
opportunities are born!
