Under the Magnolia Tree

This meditation was created with the thought in mind of encouraging strength, will and determination.

It brings in the influence of the first ray, the red ray of will and purpose, though at the same time brings in the softness of love and light represented by the magnolia flowers filtering the light of the sun before it reaches you.

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.

Visualise yourself standing in front of a meadow. The meadow is full of vibrant bright red poppies, stretching as far as the eye can see. The poppies seem to almost glow in the light of the sun.

Take yourself for a walk through the poppy meadow, weaving yourself a path through the tall strong flowers as they appear to dance around you.

After a couple of minutes, you come to a tree: a great magnolia tree. You notice that the magnolia tree is full of blossom, its branches heavy with the pink and white tinged magnolia flowers.

Take a seat under the tree, leaning up against its trunk. The pink and white magnolia flowers form a canopy above you, filtering the sunlight as it beams down and providing you with some partial shade.

While sitting there quietly, you visualise a deep red rose approximately 6 inches above your head. You allow the red rose to move down into the sphere of light directly above your head which is your soul centre. As it does so, it infuses its energy into the light, turning it red.

Bring a strand of this red light down through the top of your head, through the throat and into the heart.

After a couple of moments, continue to let the light flow, taking it down from the heart to reach the base of your spine.

Sit for a couple of minutes with the red rose energy.

When ready, thank the great magnolia tree for its shade and support while sitting there. Stand up and take yourself back through the meadow of vibrant red poppies, back to the place where you started.

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.
