Joy in Birthing

Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Feel yourself being surrounded by a golden white light the white light of creation and on the outside of that white light visualize a green light the color of earth and love and the nature spirit. As you let all the old images fade from your mind I like you to imagine that you are walking in a meadow. It is beautifully green it is a in a place of wilderness serenity and beauty, there is none for miles and miles around. It is spring time or perhaps early summer and you feel the warm air on your skin. Listen to the sound that surrounds you, the smells of the beautiful flower in full bloom. Off in the distance you are hearing the rushing sound of water, you are drawn to that sound and you walk towards it, as you get closer the sound becomes louder and you see off in the distance a waterfall glistening in the sun light . You walk up to the stream.

When you finally come to it you deep your fingers in the rushing water it is icy cold and you know that it has come from the height of the mountains above. You look up into the mountain and you see the white peek carving the blue sky you feel great power from the mountains and you feel a connection with their stillness and serenity. You walk down stream and you notice a large flat stone that sticks up above the water line as the water rushes by on both sides and goes on its way. Deep inside you get a sense that this stone is like an altar in the center of the stream. You know that it has bee endowed with energy and power to assists you in your journey. It is as large as you are tall and you recognize this stone and yearn to touch it and sit upon it. The day is warm and sunny and there is none around for miles you strip off your clothes and walk out through the river and sit on the stone. As you sit you close you eyes for a moment preparing for what is ahead. You face down stream and you realize that as you watch the rushing water moving away from you, you are facing your past that the water rushing ahead of you is like all the remains, all of the bliss, all of the sorrow all that you have collected through out your life is rushing by and disappearing around the bend.


I like you take a few moments and sit there and contemplate your past that is rushing away and realize as you do that your future is behind you coming towards you. You cannot see it you can only see the past rushing by, as you reflect on your the past think of what you would like to throw into the river and be rid of forever, take sometime. Now envision those things you would like to get rid off and throw them into the rushing river, do this not with anger but with love, bid them good by they have been part of you life for many years, you hold no resentment towards them, no grudge, you simply are ready to make room in your life for that which is coming.


Now take a deep breath and carefully turn around on the stone and with regard face your future. Face the water that is coming down through the waterfall surging towards you, reflect on what that looks like to you what it means to you realizing now that you have your back to your past and that you are facing what is new and fresh. What is it that you would like to manifest in the future? What is it that you have asked for? What seeds have you sown so that the fruits that will ripen will be sweet and nurturing? Take some time and consider what is coming to you and how much control do you let yourself really have? Take some time.


You have spend much time contemplating your past and your future and you are getting sleepy the sun is very warm and feels wonderful on your body and you decide to lie down on the stone and as you close your eyes you move into a very deep state taking several deep breath allow your body to relax feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin relaxing all of your muscles completely you are still conscious of the sound of the water rushing by. Feel the stillness of the moment, feel the power that you have in the stillness while your life is rushing by you as the water of the river rushes by you and you are in the center in complete stillness. Remember this stillness and know that at anytime you can come back here and embrace this very moment. When you are done, go back to the river back and put your clothes on and walk back on the path. Now count backward from five to one and come back into your body. Good. Remember you can always go back to the river and let go of anything things that stands in the way to your serenity.
