Guided Bonsai Meditation

Close your eyes and take a few deep, relaxing breaths. 

Continue normal breathing, and with each inhale, visualize a bright white light entering the top of your head.

With each exhale, breath out the worries, stresses and pressures of the day.  
Visualize that "dirty" stuff leaving you each time you breath out. 
Allow the light to continually enter your crown, flowing through and washing out everything unnecessary.  The stream of light cleanses you entirely. 

Allow the flow from above you to continue, as you visualize the dark, warm glow of the earth below you. Feel it's power pulsing beneath you. Now, feel it push through the bottom of your feet. The energy enters you and flows up through your body, warming you. With each breath, you pull more of this comforting and grounding light up through you. 

Notice as the two energies converge.  Feel the iridescent light from the heavens mingle with the warm deep light of the earth. Notice as they become one complete energy inside of you. 
That brilliant light flows through you. 

In your mind's eyes, draw the most perfect bonsai tree. Visualize it's container, it's branches, it's leaves, and everything else around it.

The beautiful bright light of the sun shines down on the bonsai.

The rich and warm light of the earth, flows up through the bonsai. 

Those perfect energies of the heavens and earth, the same ones that you feel entering you, also flow through your bonsai. They meet at the center of the bonsai container, next to your beautiful tree. 

Visualize the energies as they interpenetrate one another, a perfect balance between heaven and earth. 

Sit and absorb this healing, grounding and balancing light that pulsates in and all around you and your bonsai. 

(After a few minutes)
Take several deep breaths and start to bring your awareness back to this moment.  
When you are ready, open your eyes and reflect for a few minutes on the meditation.
