8. Relaxing meditation on the lake 

A small boat is floating on a lake, you are sitting on the boat, absorbing the sunset that sets behind the trees at the horizon. You soak your hand in the water and feel the refreshing temperature, and as the water slowly runs through your fingers, your entire body releases all the worries and problems through your hand into the water. The lake washes your energy field, completely renewing your strengths, your mental balance and the air in your lungs feel so refreshing as well. 

You feel the air coming in slowly, opening your ribs gently, the sensation of discovering that your lungs are so big is amazing, you relax the muscles of your shoulders, then you relax your neck, your jaw, behind your ears. You feel like yawning and then your eyes relax and the muscles in your forehead become loose and soft. As you feel more and more relaxed, you notice how the boat knows where to take you, so you can take a little journey. 

You are seeking for a special wisdom today and your heart is already telling you how special and sweet this is going to be. The boat starts moving over the water, so gently it feels like floating, you can see colorful fish swimming under the water. Then the boat finally comes closer to the trees and you can smell the green nature that is closer and closer. An invisible pull places your boat firmly on land and you know it is safe to walk through the path of blue small pebbles that is waiting for you. 

As you walk, the beautiful smell becomes sweeter, and flowers appear in the green forest. The green trees are embellished by blossoms in the bushes below and your whole being is absorbing the perfume of the forest and each cell in your body is bathed by the energy that comes slowly through your nose. The smell of the forest is inhaled by you, cleansing every cell, every thought, every emotion, and you relax even more profoundly. 

Your whole being is now one with the forest, exuding the same energy, pure, refreshed, cristaline. As you continue to walk this path, the forest gives space to an open field, where the sunset can be completely seen in the horizon. A ray of light touches you, sent by the Sun to bring you energizing replenishment. Your cells, completely clean, now receive nourishment, so you can continue your journey.

You sit on the tall grass and feel the warmth of the Sun on your face and you smile with gratitude. Then you open the palm of both hands and the Sun sends more light to be received through your hands. You see how your palms are glowing bright and now you can place them on top of any part of your body that you feel might need some healing or that you want to relax even more.

Hold your hands in all the places in your body that you want, for as long as you want now, allowing the energy of the Sun to come through your hands. Your hands are receiving infinite amounts of light, they are pouring into the parts of your body that you wish to feel renewed and refreshed. Stay in this process for as long as you want and you can come back to this meditation for as many times as you want. 

Whenever you feel ready, say a prayer of gratitude for the Sun and slowly move your fingers, toes, neck, then slowly open your eyes, if they are closed.
