As you settle infeeling the support beneath your body, find a few deep breaths in and outthrough your nose. Notice any resistance as you breathe in or is it easy tobreathe fully in? Notice any resistance as you breathe out or is it easy tobreathe fully out? Feel your belly fill up with air as you inhale, feel yourbelly pully gently in as you exhale. Notice your heartbeat. Bring gentleawareness to your mental and emotional space. How do you feel in this moment? Whatthoughts arrive? Notice. Breathe. Engaging your imagination, bring to mind the image of a seed, perhaps you have in mind a specific type of seed, flower, other decorative plant, herb, vegetable, orfruit, or perhaps you create in your mind a fantastical seed of yourimagination’s making. Imagine holding this seed in your hand as you sit outsideon a bright and warm spring day. The air smells of fresh earth. A pot forplants is propped up on the ground in front of you. From a bag, you scoop soilup into your hands, then let it fall from your hands into the pot. What size isyour pot? What color? What design? Again, you scoop up another handful of soil,hold it over your imagined pot, and let the soil fall from your hands, repeatingthis action until the planter is nearly full of soil. You pick up a seed, buryit just below the soil’s surface. After planting the seed, you retrieve anearby watering can, tilt the spout over the pot and begin to water the soil.You watch as water trickles onto and sinks deep into the dirt. Setting the wateringcan aside, you look up at the bright blue, sunlit sky, feeling the rays of warmsunshine on your skin. You breathe in the fresh and crisp spring air. Letting go of this image, bring your attention back to the support beneath your body, theair on your skin. Notice sounds. Enjoy a deep breath in, deep breath out. Gentlyblinking open your eyes, mindfully observe the space around you. Move throughyour day or into rest, feeling protected and nourished in your growth. Thankyou for meditating with me.
