I woke up one morning as we were transitioning into Spring and the sun was shining through the window. It made me think how much we appreciate the sun after a cold winter. It made me remember how good it feels to have the sun shine on your face. How it helps you relax. The sun increases our serotonin and vitamin D levels which make us feel happy, reducing stress and tension.
Teachers, the script is at the bottom of this page if you’d like to use it in your own classes.
If you want to experience this meditation for yourself, my spoken guide is below or you can find me over on my Spotify: Meditate with Me.
“You might like to sit outside, or by a window where the sun in shining in, or using your imagination you can visualise the sun
Settle into your breathing
Breathing all the way deep into your belly
Feeling the lungs expand fully and then relax entirely
Breathing in… and breathing out
…
Now in your minds eye begin to visualise a bright yellow sun in front of you
Picture this clearly and in detail in your mind
It’s beams shining down on you
Bright and powerful
Know that this is a positive light
A healing light
Feel the warmth spread and encompass your skin on your face, shoulders and arms
Bask in this warming light
This warmth allows the muscles in your face to soften, to unfold like a flower in the sunshine
Letting go of any stored emotion
Any tension from your shoulders feels as if it is draining away
Feel your body soaking up these positives rays
On each in breath imagine that you are breathing in this bright sunlight
Digesting it on a cellular level
And when you breath out feel any tension, any worry or fear leave with the breath
…
There may or may not be clouds that pass in your sky
Momentarily blocking the rays of the sun
As in the same way, with our emotions and in life, we have moments of light and temporary moments in the shade
But the sun is consistent and is always there, even if it is blocked by clouds even if it cannot be seen
It will always emerge again and shine down on you
Feel your body take on the light from your sun
Knowing that your personal sun, can be your own personal light
It can follow you around all day
Part of your very being
Protecting, healing, centering
…
Now as you slowly begin to allow any remaining images to fade
Keep the feeling of the light, the feeling of being lifted with you
Take an energising breath in and start to come back to your body“
