Nature Meditation

A gentle, cleansing, nature meditation by the big oak tree

16 April, 2005

Ok... just get comfortable... find the comfortable spot on your chair and allow yourself to relax a little... take a deep... deep breath... hold it for a little while... and slowly let it out... and another... deep breath... hold... and slowly let it out.

As you allow yourself to relax a little... I want you to imagine that we sit in the spring sunshine... under a huge, old, oak tree... see it as clearly as you can... the rough texture of the bark... the browns and greys of the trunk... the greens of the new leaves... high in the branches... birds peer down at us... their plumage alight with their spring colours... the sunshine streams down through the leaves... tinged with green... dust motes dance and sparkle in the streams of green light like little rainbows.

If you can, notice the birdsong... the sounds of insects and grasshoppers about us... none of them near us... or bothering us... just doing their own thing...

Beneath us, the ground is damp with the morning dew... cobwebs glisten with dewdrops... their patterns intricate... the ground is so soft and comfortable... I can smell that earthy smell from it

As we sit here in the shade... with the sunlight streaming about us... warming the backs of out necks... I want you to reach out and touch the massive roots of this old, old tree and
as you do... you may feel a tingle... a connection... follow it as it goes deep into the ground... following the roots as they search ever downwards into the earth... deep.. deep down... until they hit bedrock... they bind on... strongly... securely... anchoring them deep within Mother Earths care...

Feel that link... join with it... and as you do, earth energy flows back up... and into you... warming... enfolding... surrounding you... filling you with warm... velvety... thick.. earth energy... feeling at one with the world... with nature... for a few moments... just enjoy this connection... this feeling of warmth as the energy fills you.

Notice how the roots feel against your hand... warm and smooth... maybe you can even feel the slow, slow beat... the pulse of the earth... allow yourself to attune to it... to start to slowly beat with it... and as you do.... feel the power and energy surround you... like a shield of the strongest armour... protecting and keeping you safe

As you do... look around you... really notice what is around you... we will all probably see different things... so I will just describe what I can see... there are so many wildflowers... yellows... blues ... purples... the grass is lush and green... clover and moss make it a comfortable green carpet... butterflies flit from flower to flower... ladybugs.. their red spotted wingcases gleaming in the sunshine... dragonflies... dance and flit around the stream that burbles over rocks just over there... they look like little faery folk... with their ballgowns on

A couple of baby rabbits graze on a little hillock over by the stream... their noses twitch as they see me looking at them... and they go back to the grass eating... over by those bushes... a rustling as an animal moves about... a black and white striped snout... its a beautiful old badger... snuffling and grumping as he hurries to go forage for his brood... he has two younglings... inquisitive... they stick their noses out through the bushes and when they see us... they dart back to their set

High on the hill behind the tree... a doe and her two foals stand... the big buck... his antlers wide... look down at us... they see there is no threat... and make their way down to drink from the stream... as they get there... a couple of otters splash into the water... they writhe in intricate patterns around each other... having fun... playing in the shallow water... stopping to sniff... watch... their whiskers quivering... eyes smiling and full of mischief as their lower jaw drips water and seems to laugh at us.

I can smell the wild flowers... lavender I think... and others I can’t tell what they are... but they are so nice... high above... a pair of sparrowhawks dance their mating dance... flying high into the clear blue sky... black against the cotton wool clouds... so high... drifting and swooping as they dance their love for each other... full of hope and renewal... it makes me feel alive... looking forward to my next adventure... aware that spring is in the air and changes are afoot... an adventure about to start... happy

Sit for a moment and just feel this connection to nature... the power of it filling and inspiring you to write your poetry... inspiring you to play your tune... dance your dance... sing your opera... in the sunshine... warm and secure... the sounds and smells and sights and colours enfold you

As we sit... a warm drizzling rain starts... soaking us... our hair dripping into our eyes... we laugh and enjoy this warm cleansing rain... scrub your skin gently with this warm rain... your whole body being cleansed... revitalised... freshened... I can hear several of you laughing... see you skipping in the rain... your arms outstretched... tongue out, face up... laughing into the falling rain... I join you... and soon we all are just enjoying the rain.

The otters sit and look at us... bemused... the deer and her family... after hurrying away, turn and look... the badger cubs look through the streaming leaves at us... nervously...

Fully cleansed and refreshed... feeling so much brighter... we stand as the rain stops and sun comes out fully... soon the ground steams gently... as do our clothes... our hair... it warms us... dries us... and we return to the dry ground under the tree... breathless... giggling

The colours seem much brighter... the smells much clearer... we have to return soon so have a good look around... see all you can... down beside us all... the diva guarding this wonderful old oak tree... has left us each a token... a gift... as we unwrap it... it could be a word... a feeling... something we need for our adventure ahead... hold it tight.... knowing that we can return here anytime we wish.

Allow your eyes to close... smelling the plants and wet earth about us... hearing the birdsong and otter play... take a deep shuddering breath... and return

Namaste

Take a sip of water
