Directions For An Easy Relaxation Meditation

• Close your eyes and take a nice slow deep breath in, and as you let it out, allow yourself to completely and fully relax.
• Take another slow deep breath in, and as you let it out feel your body relaxing even more.

• Take a third slow deep breath, and as you let it out, this time move your awareness to your toes.
• Tense your toes and your legs, then let go of the tension and relax them fully. As the tension drains away you will feel even more relaxed.

Next place your attention on the area just above your head, and imagine a ball of golden light hovering there.

Move your attention to that golden light, and allow it to move slowly down into your body.

As you take it down through your body, allow the tension to ease from each place that the golden light touches.

• Bring it down through your crown to your third eye, relaxing both your crown and the rest of your head. 
• Move it on down to your throat, and just let any tension there drain away.
• As you bring it to your heart area, allow it to expand out, filling your heart with the loving vibration of Spirit.

• Fully relax as you allow the golden light to vibrate within you, and feel its loving energy clearing any emotional hurt or pain you may be feeling within your heart.
• Let the light move down through your stomach, filling your solar plexus and sacral areas with this peaceful light.

• Finally take it down to the base of your spine, then down through the base to the earth chakra where you will ground this energy with Mother Gaia.
• Allow this energy to completely ground you to the earth. Let yourself fully connect to the earth and permit yourself to totally make contact with Mother Gaia and her energy.

Now imagine that this ball of golden light expanding outwards from your body, forming a bubble of light around your entire body.

Visualize the golden light flowing out into your entire aura.

Allow it to expand out to all layers of your auric field, energizing you on all levels and totally protecting you.

• Continue to remain with the Golden light filling you for as long as you wish. 
• Give yourself some time to simply sit in this lovely relaxed state and let your thoughts float, knowing that this powerful golden light is permeating your complete body.

• Feel it clear any disharmony within you, then imagine it stimulating and healing you on all levels of your being.
• When you are ready, just say 'Thank You' to Spirit, and release the light, and as you do, allow any excess energy to move down to Mother Gaia for release.
