Golden Sunset Meditation

Sit or lie quietly and tell your body to relax by sending your thoughts to your toes and working your way up to the top of your head instructing each set of muscles to relax as you proceed. Once the body is calm, slowly allow a picture to form in your mind's eye. See yourself sitting peacefully and comfortably at the edge of a body of water at sunset. It is warm, and as the sun sets over the water, it appears so large that it covers most of the horizon. Stare into the creamy yellow sun and feel its warmth. Inhale through your nose, visualizing the air you inhale yellow like the sun. Exhale through your mouth, visualizing the exhalation as a beautiful purple cloud drifting off toward the sun. Continue to inhale yellow and exhale purple for a few more breaths, then just remain quiet for a few minutes. Allow yourself to feel a warm breeze flowing clockwise around you. Its gentle movement will enable you to more completely relax and enjoy the freedom of spirit you seek. After these moments of relaxation, slowly return your attention to your breathing. Make each breath a little deeper as you become more aware of your physical body. Gently move your toes and your fingers, and when you feel ready, open your eyes. Allow your feeling of heightened awareness to clear your mind, your body, and your spirit.
