This meditation will allow your physical body to relax. Your mind will create a story based on your own experiences or wishes. This may help you to understand something that has happened or help you to understand what you are needing in your life right now. It may just help you to escape and create a safe and beautiful place for yourself.
Start by lying on your back, in “Savasana” let your feet roll open and your arms rest at your sides. If you need extra support, you can place a pillow under your head or lower back. Bend your knees and rest your legs on a chair if you feel discomfort in lower back in Savasana. When you are feeling comfortable, close your eyes and take a moment to connect with your breath. Breathe in and out through your nose, slowly lengthening and deepening your breath. On the exhalation allow your body to relax and sink into the earth. When you feel relaxed, allow your breath to flow naturally. Visualise your standing in-front of a window, the curtains are closed, notice the pattern and colour of the curtains. You reach out and feel the curtains, how do they feel? Are they heavy or light? When you’re ready, slowly begin to open the curtains, the light is bright at first, but your eyes adjust. What do you see? Maybe you see a place you wish you could be, maybe somewhere you know well or somewhere you have never been. Do you see any people? Maybe you see loved ones or people who are relevant to you right now. What are these people doing? Does the scene have any relevance to your life right now? Do you feel that you want to go out and join them or do you want to stay inside?
When you feel ready bring your awareness back to the here and now, focus again on your back to your breath. Remember the experience that you had and whether it has any meaning to you.
