Sun Meditation

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. When you are feeling comfortable take a moment to connect with your breath. Allow your breath to flow naturally in and out through your nose.

As you allow your body to rest. Visualise the sun rising. See the sun in whatever colour feels pleasing to you, right now. Feel it’s presence suspended just above you, beginning to warm the space around your body. Kissing warm comfort onto your skin, notice the tingles and warmth on your face and the pleasant hmm travelling along your body as it absorbs these beautiful rays.

Notice the sun blessing the world with light, so our plants can grow. Notice the sun illuminating you’re spirit with warm energy. Take a moment to enjoy these warm comforts.

Invite the nurturing, glowing rays of the sun inside you. Allow them to brighten your every thought. Inhale this light into your body and allow it to travel down your chakra passage along your spine, awakening and blessing your chakras. The sun warms every muscle, joint and bone … allow every part of you to be soothed by the sun, so you feel completely relaxed.

As you inhale, breathe in the essence of the sun……And as you exhale, bathe internally in this warm, loving energy.

Notice the sun disappear deep inside your heart. With every inhale, warmth spreads through your body…pulsating, through every organ, tissue and limb. Allow the heat to radiate from inside you, take some time to connect with this sensation.

Notice a pure light from inside you, your own inner sun. Imagine sending light, from your heart, to someone you wish to share light with. Send this person loving energy, so that they too, bathe in the glow of the sun.

Rest in the silence of your own internal sun.

When you are ready, slowly let go of the sun visualisation. Know that it is there to light your way anytime you may need it. Allow the sun’s power to awaken you. Feel it’s vital life forcesway your mind to the present moment. Slowly begin to wiggle your fingers and toes. Do whatever you need to bring the awareness back into your physical body.

Finish your practice by repeating this Mantra 3 times “I invite the image of the sun to lift my spirit, soothe my heart and liberate my mind”

Floating on clouds

Sometime we need to take a moment for ourselves. This is a peaceful meditation that will help you to relax and let go. Removing negativity and welcoming new beginnings. It’s the perfect practice before bed to encourage a betters night sleep. 

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. When you are feeling comfortable take a moment to connect with your breath. Breathe in and out through your nose, slowly lengthening and deepening your breath. On your inhalation, bring yourself into this moment, on your exhalation, allow yourself to let go. When you feel ready, allow your breath to flow naturally. Start to visualise that you are floating on a cloud. The cloud is white and fluffy, you feel like you are laying in a bed of cotton wool, it’s soft and comfortable. The cloud surrounds any areas that need healing, you allow your body to sink into the cloud, so you are feeling completely relaxed. Notice the beautiful clear blue sky above you and feel the warmth from the sun on your skin. Notice the birds flying past singing sweet tunes. Listen to the soft hum from the world below, noticing the love and laughter filling the planet. Take a moment to absorb that loving feeling from your family and friends, inhale their laughter and appreciate the kind smiles from strangers. Admire the worlds natural beauty. Listen to the water running in streams and rivers, washing away negativity. Listen to the wind blowing through trees, spreading seeds ready for new beginnings. Thank yourself for allowing this time for you, you are beautiful, your are kind, you are unique and you are strong.

Footprints in the snow

This meditation practice will help you let go of anything you no longer need and reflect on life. It will help you find courage and inner strength, so that you can face life’s challenges and accept whatever the universe sends. We can’t control what’s to come, but we can choose to live life with love, learn from our mistakes and grow.

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 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 you’re in the mountains, notice the white snow glistening in the sunlight, the beautiful blue skies with fluffy white clouds and the magnificent mountains around you. Listen, you hear nothing other than the song of the wind in the distance. Enjoy all the space around you, no one is watching you, there is no judgment or exspecations. Start walking, every step is meaningful, listen to the snow crunch beneath your feet. After a few steps, look back and see your footprints in the snow, these represent something that has happened in your life, something you need to let go of.

It begins to snow, feel the snowflakes gently melt into your skin. Watch the snow. Watch the snow as it begins to fill your footprints, slowly they disappeared, you know they are there but now the indentations have been erased and the surface is smooth and clear. Learn from this and let go of whatever is no longer serving you. Allow yourself to feel cleansed, blessed and free. Now as you walk through the snow feel confident that you can face whatever is coming your way. Remember it’s okay to stop, to take in the view and focus on you. It’s good to look back, reflect and let it snow. We can’t control how the weather will be for the rest of the walk or where we may end up, but we can ask the universe to guide us and enjoy the journey.
