Welcome to this Guided Meditation practice for the best moment in life …
Gently place your hands on your lap …
Your back, neck, and head are extended but not too tight … Whatever feels most comfortable for you …
Softly close your eyes …
As you settle yourself in, pay attention to the movements in your body …
Notice whether you can invite more stillness and peace into these movements …
Welcoming the breath …
Welcoming more space with every in-breath and letting go of any tension or worry that your body and your mind may be holding onto for the day ahead …
Acknowledge that you are right where you need to be in this moment …
Becoming in tune with your body and mind … Take a moment to realize that you are present in this moment …
Taking in the things around you …
Just a simple awareness of where you are …
As you maintain this soft awareness, begin to deepen your breath …
Breathe in, noticing the air flowing through your nose …
Observing its touchpoint inside your nose …
Observing the pause …
Its length …
And as you breathe out, observing the air flowing back out of your nose …
Just noticing the sensations of the breath …
The feeling of air coming into your body …
And then leaving, carrying any tension, worry, or stress with it as it no longer belongs with you …
Trust the breath …
Allow the breath to relax you deeper and deeper … You are becoming softer…
Calmer…
At this very moment …
You are right where you are supposed to be …
Just here …
Being with the breath …
With your body, mind, and soul …
Now … As you follow the rise and fall of your breath, I want you to imagine walking towards a waterfall in an enchanted forest …
You walk gracefully toward the sound of the water, taking the time to see and feel your surroundings truly… You can feel a deep connection with all life forms in the forest …
As you walk, floating above the forest floor, you sense the quality of the air changing, an electrifying feeling as if the air were charged with energy …
When you walk around a huge tree, the light suddenly becomes brighter …
You have emerged from the forest and are now facing a waterfall …
A curtain of white water is now revealed cascading down a series of rocky outcrops into a blue river below …
The mist from the waterfall settles on your skin, cooling your body, relaxing every muscle, invigorating all of your senses …
You sit down gracefully on a large rock facing the waterfall and gaze at the water’s edge …
The waterfall’s energy sends small waves toward shore, and you watch the waves come forward, then recede, in an endless symmetric, rhythmic, and calming …
Just like the breath …
Inhale slowly, and feel the waterfall’s energy transferred into your body …
There is such power and brilliance in the tranquility, a place of stillness even in the roar of the water … You are feeling completely relaxed.
Breathe deeply here; you have all the time you need … As you continue walking forward, let the waterfall directly onto your head, neck, shoulders, chest, and back, and all the tension in your body disappears …
You sense how each drop of water is different, having traveled a different path to reach you, yet the drops of water come together as one flowing stream to form the waterfall, gently massaging your neck and shoulders …
You pause to enjoy one last, slow in-breath, savoring the energized feeling that causes your body to glow with happiness …
Your mind is at peace; your body is relaxed, your vision crystal clear …
The birds sing in the trees, and little animals scurry about playfully, celebrating the joy of life …
Temporarily transporting yourself to these times and places help you get your power back over the situation causing your anxiety or stress …
Now …
As your mind and your body fall deeper and deeper into relaxation …
If you can … Bring to mind the best moment you have had in your life …
It can be absolutely anything …
And suppose you cannot bring anything to mind. In that case, that’s okay …
Just think of a moment that would portray this special moment …
This magnificent desire …
Allow whatever flows into your mind to be inviting …
Without any judgment…
Without any pressure …
Just observe …
Allow this moment to come to you …
As you take soft, gentle breaths …
And now, once you have fully invited this moment into the view of your third eye …
Embrace it …
Embrace it fully with all your five senses …
Absorb all the emotions that may arise to the surface now …
Permit them to overflow …
To fill every single inch of your physical body …
You are glowing in joy …
You are bathing in these depths of happiness and joy …
As you recall the best moment in your life …
Right here, right now …
Take it all in …
Your body is calm …
At peace … Quiet … Yet so energized and alive, full of gratitude and appreciation for having this best moment in life stay with you for a bit longer …
As this practice ends, slowly allow your attention to expand and notice your entire body …
Perhaps wiggle your toes, move your head from side to side …
Become aware of your surroundings …
Beginning to softly move your body and re-engage with the activities of your day …
And when you are ready, gently open your eyes, and come back fully alert and awake …
We Congratulate you for spending some time with your body, mind, and soul in this way.
