Connection to the Elements
Lie down on your back with your hands resting gently beside your body. If you feel comfortable close your eyes. If possible complete all your breathing through your noise. Breath In…Breath Out…Breath In…Breath Out…

Slowly feel your lungs completely fill with air. You will feel both your stomach and chest rise. When you feel as though you can’t take in anymore air suck in a tiny bit more…

Let the air out of your lungs in a slow steady breath. Completely empty your lungs by pulling the muscles of your abdomen in towards your spine, again pushing out as much air as you can…

While breathing in this deep way, be aware of your body, mind, and senses….What do notice with your physical senses?... What emotions do you feel?... What are you thinking about?... Do not question or judge any of this, just gain awareness of what is happening for you….
Now…if you are willing… find yourself looking down upon a vast sapphire ocean…The water is completely clear, calm, and devoid of any threats. It appears very inviting and you feel yourself drawn to it. A deep desire to join the tranquility of the water fills you.
Still you wait high above the water not yet able to join it… To reach the water you will need to reach a deeper level of relaxation… Experience your body turn so that you now face the sky above you. Large feathery clouds can be seen above you…Take notice of any cloud that takes on a particular shape or meaning for you…simply observe the clouds while changing nothing.
Now you are ready to descend… With each deep breath you take, feel yourself drift down from the sky towards the water. Your body takes on the light and buoyant quality of a leaf falling from a tree….Notice the feelings and thoughts of this experience. Can you let yourself relax and find pleasure in this serene ebb and flow? Is it frightening to be out of control as you slip from the sky? Do you find excitement in knowing that you will soon reach the water below?...This transition is very gradual. You feel every muscle in your body relax as you drift downwards…

Finally you experience the warm embrace of the water on your body. Atop the water you continue to float as though you were a lily pad…And just as a lily pad, you feel a strong cord attached to the base of your spine linking you to the earth deep below the water. Through the cord pulsates the divine energy of the earth…of being grounded in this moment…of nurturance…of renewal…of growth…

The water continues to embrace your body keeping you safely afloat. The water too is full of divine energy that is absorbed through each of your skin cells…This is the energy of cleansing…of choice…of letting go…of experiencing your emotions…of timelessness…

Overhead the rays of the sun extend down to penetrate even the deepest recesses of your body with the divine energy of fire... This powerful energy flares to life within you bringing with it the gifts of challenge…of creativity…of passion…of transformation…of reclaiming...
As you continue to breath air enters and exits your lungs. The air is carried to every part of your body by your complex cardio vascular system. No thought is needed, your body instinctually knows how to spread the energy of air…of life…of purity…of acceptance…of wisdom…of continuation…

From the core of your being, within each element, and every atom shines the energy of the spirit. This is the ultimate energy that connects every thing together…. Notice the spiritual energy connecting everything in the world around you...Notice the spiritual energy that holds your physical form together…Notice the spiritual energy that fills the empty spaces between atoms to hold together all that is and all that ever will be…A perfect balance is created and maintained by this spiritual energy…

In this state of being there is no past…There is no future…Only now exists. As you experience the moment of now it has already passed to create a new now. Time is simply a construct of your mind. Let go of the idea of time and experience the peace of your experience…your experience exists outside of time…

Breathe deeply…slowly inhaling and exhaling…simply stay in your experience.
A slow and gentle pull can be felt upon you. The world in which the body lives and time is considered a linear process awaits your return. Slowly feel the elements that flow within and dance with your spirit begin to return to the solid form that makes up your physical body. Feel the weight of your body pressing you softly into the floor that lies beneath it as gravity takes a hold of you.
Once again become aware of your body, mind, and senses….What do notice with your physical senses?... What emotions do you feel?... What are you thinking about?... Do not question or judge any of this, just gain awareness of what is happening for you….
Notice your breath throughout the day and remember this experience as you face your day…how everything is connected…with a final deep breath open your eyes to this day.
