The light in the clearing


Using the power of the creative imagination, this meditation enables you to visualise a space where the lower mind can becomes quiet.

In this stillness, your being becomes vitalised and your true thoughts become clear




Meditation
Quieten your mind and consciously release any tension that you feel throughout your body.

Visualise a golden ball of light within the earth and take a strand of that light up through the base of your spine and let it rest in your heart centre.  Next, visualise a white ball of light just above your head in your soul centre and allow a strand of that light energy to flow through the crown centre at the top of the head and down into your heart centre. Take a moment to adjust to being connected above and below.

See yourself standing before a vast field of long tall grass. The grasses are as tall as you are and  sway in the breeze like a golden sea. You find yourself a pathway through the tall grass and as you pass through you notice the dull hum and constant buzzing noise that they make as they dance in the wind.

You come to a clearing in the centre of the field and notice a sphere of light in the middle of this clearing. You go to sit down and notice a seat made perfectly for you.

As you sit, you become aware of a stillness, a silence far removed from the hum of the long grasses. This stillness makes the sphere of light in front of you ever brighter. As you sit and bask in the light emmanating from the sphere you find strength and comfort from the stillness that surrounds you.

Sit there as long as you need. You may hear words of inspiration, images or some form of message. Make a note of anything that comes to you. Know that this seat by the sphere of light in the clearing is always there for you to return to.

When you are ready, rise from your seat and walk out of the clearing to find the path back through the field of tall grass.  Walk through the field of golden swaying grasses until you are back at the edge of the field where you began.

Slowly bring your senses and awareness back into the room, become aware of the feeling of the earth beneath your feet and open your eyes when you feel ready.
