Open Heart Meditation

As you begin to become aware of your state of breath.  You find yourself following it, allowing the inhale to lead you deep within yourself.  Discovering the rhythm of your heart beat as it patters in procession with the rest of your body.  Feeling the blood being pumped throughout in a silent gushing motion.  Taking this time for yourself, you become aware of the state of your body.  Listening to it for signs or evidence as to whats going on at this particular moment.  As you bring full awareness to the sensations felt within, you begin to release any tension, stress, negativity and begin to ease even further into a state of pure relaxation.  Allowing your mind to peacefully drift and float.  Moving forwards and backwards, you soon find yourself traveling along a path.  This path within nature begins to lead you directly into the middle of the woods.  Surrounded by ancient trees, with their branches heavily laden with a canopy of leaves.  The breeze soft and effortlessly begins to flow through the sky rustling the leaves ever so gently overhead.  You find your eyes glazing up in wonderment and awe.  Noticing the extrinsic detail of the lined bark upon the branches and the coloration of the multitude of finely textured leaves.  Soon you begin following the merriment sound of birds singing in the near distance, as their wings allow for their bodies to float and glide from branch to branch without difficulty.  Breathing in the air that surrounds, you become fully aware of the scents that fill your lungs.  Allowing for their detection to uncover memories from within your heart.  Times long ago once again claim their space within the forefront of your mind.  A gift from within pushing its way to be remembered once more.  As you ease into the sensations surrounding your body giving yourself the time needed to engage in these thoughts and feelings.  Honoring yourself, as well as your body by uncovering fully that which lies within you.  The comforting breeze of mother nature coaxes you gently through the process as she nudges you forward along the trail like a mothers hand pressed lovingly against your lower back.  You do not fight her but rather willingly allow for her to lead you into a beautiful clearing filled with love.  Silently you slump onto the ground allowing for the earth to embrace your body with her sweet caress and allow yourself to have an experience.  As she closes off your senses to the outside world, your eyes close momentarily and all you see before you is that which lies within you.  You begin traveling through the corridors of your inner self.  Allowing for the light within to lead you through the catacomb of life's experiences.  A knowingness within supplies you with the foresight of how to navigate such tunnels and with agility you weave your way through.  Captivated by the information which appears before you in the form of images, words, or perhaps sense.  You embrace this knowledge which is you with love and acceptance and allow for the wholeness it provides to be reacquainted with the rest of your memories. 

Soon you stand before a door.
