Practicing meditation can help with greater mental clarity, resetting, and rebalancing every system in your body.

This guided meditation lecture for ‘Clear Your Mind’ will help you to mentally recharge and rejuvenate by using a visualisation exercise located in the hot springs. The practice begins with gentle breath-work to begin relaxing your body and mind.

Breath awareness helps to relax the mind, slow down the nervous system, and guide you to the present moment. Mindfulness allows you to find your inner peace, and release any stress or tension your body may be holding onto.

Our minds can become clustered very easily — filled with to do lists, busy schedules, and overwhelming amounts of work that constantly requires immediate attention. Clearing our mental and emotion clutter can be very powerful. This practice will help you to eliminate any distractions so that we can begin focusing on what’s important again in efficient and effective manner.

This meditation lecture welcomes you to immerse yourself in a visualisation taking place in hot springs. You will be guided through a mental journey by finding yourself in a retreat up in the mountains. You will explore your beautiful, snow-filled surroundings with gentle curiosity and will greet a natural, steaming hot water to step into.

Using your imagination to tap into your senses will strengthen your awareness, alleviate anxiety, and heighten your gratitude for the small things in life that brings us joy. By visualising yourself soaking in the hot springs, it will guide your mind to become extremely relaxed and bathed in absolute tranquility.

Hot springs are a therapeutic setting, therefore it holds associations with increased blood circulation, reduce in stress, promotes sleep, offers pain relief, and helps you to simply relax.

The Guided Meditation

Welcome to StarLight Breeze meditations … I invite you to find your place of comfort for today’s practice … Making gentle movements to settle yourself into an upright, seated posture … Keeping your spine, all nice and proud … Tucking the chin just a little … And close your eyes … Make any last adjustments here … Lessening the movement of the body … Finding stillness and peace …

And now, shifting your attention on the breath … Noticing the sensations of the breath … The way the air flows in through the nose … Expanding the belly and chest … And releasing the air through the mouth … Feeling the belly contract, becoming smaller … Breathing in … And breathing out … Breathing in … And breathing out … The breath becoming more smooth … Tranquil … Finding alignment and harmony within yourself … In your well deserved time of relaxation …

Begin to shift your attention to the body now … Notice if there are any tightness or tension weighing you down … Breathe into these areas … Giving yourself the permission to be at ease … Feeling a sense of renewal filling your being now … Fully supported by the surface you are seated upon … Feeling centred and grounded … Your bones becoming more heavy as you fall deeper and deeper into a state of relaxation … Fully present in this mindful moment …

Our daily lives can often become so busy … Filled with to do lists … Overwhelming schedules … Places to go, and places to be … Our minds can become congested and blocked … Thoughts always running rampant … It is easy to get lost in a constant state of thinking …

And sometimes all may help is to simply clear your mind … Allowing you think and act with purpose … To refresh your perspectives … To recharge and rejuvenate … And now … I want you to visualise being in a quiet retreat … You are in a cozy cabin on a mountainside, surrounded by trees and rocks … Outside the windows, you can see snow falling softly from the sky …

You know there are hot springs nearby the cabin, and you decide to take trip there … You step out into the snow wearing sandals and a bathrobe … Walking briskly along the path … The snow is falling upon your skin … It is so cold … It feels tingly but soothing … You feel so excited to be visiting the natural pool … You hear the water stream, and finally arrive at the exposed water, surrounded by rocks … The air around you is foggy … The springs are perfectly clear, and the snow has melted all around it … You step out of your sandals and your bathrobe, leaving it at the side … Right into the steaming, hot water …

There is such distinct difference between the temperature of the water enveloping you, and the cool air above you, as the snowflakes continue to fall ever so gracefully … You begin to step further into the hot springs, until you find a perfect spot to sit down … The water comes up to just below your chin … Enveloping your entire being with warmth and comfort … You begin to feel so relaxed … So at peace … The water is just the right temperature … You feel your feet rest on the smooth rock bottom of the hot springs, as you gently lean back against the sloped stone sides of the pool …

You close your eyes and release a sigh … Allowing your entire body to relax now … The water surrounding you … Soothing you … This is just what you needed … To clear your mind … To renew … Allow your arms to float gently upon the water … Lowering your shoulders even deeper, easing all the tension away … Allowing stress to dissolve completely … And now … Beginning to relax our bodies … Allow a feeling of relaxation to wash over your feet … Feeling very heavy, loose, and relaxed …

Relaxing your ankles … Your lower legs … And the knees … Allowing the relaxation to travel up to your upper legs and your thighs … Allowing the muscles here to let go completely … Feeling very heavy and relaxed … Breathing gently … And now, relaxation travelling up to your hips and pelvis, and all the surrounding muscles … Feeling your stomach and lower back completely relaxing … The muscles letting go of all hold and tension … Feeling the relaxation moving up to your chest, back, and shoulders … Feeling very calm … At peace … Allowing your hands to relax … All your fingertips … Your wrists … Letting go … Allow the muscles in your neck to relax … Relax your entire face and head …

Feel your entire body breathing … Becoming at peace … Heavy … Comfortable … Feeling the coolness of the snow flakes upon your forehead … Tingling … It feels so pleasant … Such a wonderful contrast with the hot temperature of the water … Allow all your stresses to escape … To drift away, just like the rising steam … Allow it to drift away into the beautiful atmosphere surrounding you … The snow … Trees … And rocks, peering through the fog … There is such serenity in this place … There’s nothing like it … So silent … The only sound is the water trickling from the crack in the rocks … It flows into the pool … And now, spend a few more moments enjoying this relaxation in the hot springs … Enjoying this beautiful and serene peace …

And when you are ready to leave the hot springs, step out of the water, onto the warm, dry rocks … Come back to your sandals and your bathrobe … Walking back to the cabin … Thanking the hot springs for allowing you to clear your mind today … Feeling the snow upon your skin, helping you to begin slowly waking up …

Returning to full wakefulness now … You return to the cabin, opening the door to step right back inside … The cabin is warm and dry … You feel safe here … Returning to the present moment now … Beginning to move your legs … Your arms … Moving your head from side to side … Coming back to the world around you … Knowing you can return to the hot springs anytime you may need a personal retreat … And when you are ready, open your eyes … We hope you enjoyed this meditation practice by StarLight Breeze, and may you have a wonderful day.
