Roots to Breath, Dona Anderson

It's becoming a tradition to share another version of  an old spring meditation each year.

Spring time on Vancouver Island Canada, is a gradual rebirth of all that is beautiful. It starts in February and goes to June!

I've temporarily let go of Fall being my all time favorite season because of where we live. Spring is taking over the lead or I guess I can have them BOTH!.  Not too hot & not too cold, and both offers us lots of interest, colors, and change.

One comes from winter and the other leads into it. 

One starts to fill in the open spaces and the other again opens up the spaces.

Meditation, 8 Treasures of Spring 

Find a comfortable place and over the next few minutes connect with your breath. Soften your eyes and ears ... soften your face ... soften your shoulders ... feel yourself letting go of any tension and stress you may be holding, gently breathe and let it all go ...

Start to let go of old thoughts so you can replace them with the many Treasures of Spring.

As thoughts and stresses leave your body, feel spaces opening up for your breath to move gently and freely ... bring awareness to this healing breath and to feelings of rejuvenation ... bring awareness to new beginnings, a new season of growth, change and rewards ...

 Feel your body, mind, and breath now all opening and inviting Spring in ...

♥ This spring, smile as you wake up to the sun rises filling your home with soft morning light.

♥ As new flowers begin to bloom, absorb all their beauty, colors, and soothing fragrances.

♥ Listen to the birds joyful songs of celebration as they return to begin again.

♥ Embrace the blossoms of the trees as their gifts to you and the world.

♥ Feel the freshness of soft drops of warm rain on your face.

♥ Notice the ongoing changes as gifts that connect you to new present moments.

♥ Breathe in and let gratitude fill your whole body with inner peace.

♥ And, this spring instead of old thoughts and stresses, invite in simplicity, ease, calm and freshness.

Smile. Absorb. Listen, Embrace. Feel. 

Notice. Breathe. Invite.

Now, close our eyes and simply rest for a few more minutes ...

Namaste.

I hope you Enjoyed these Treasures of Spring!
