(Can be done sitting or lying down)

This meditation is designed to bring participants into a relaxed and peaceful state. The image of the river is used as a metaphor for life energy.  When you relax into it, life force (which is in everything) can move in the right and appropriate direction, carrying you with it.  The meditation encourages one to let go of trying to ‘do everything’ and to go with the natural flow and movement of life.

• Breathing in and out.
• Relaxing into the ground as you breathe out.
• Let go.  Relax.
• Now just imagine you are floating on the surface of a great river.
• The river is carrying you along.  Across the landscape.
• Past the hills and mountains, through the valleys, through forests.
• Flowing with the river.
• The more you relax and let go, the more you can feel the river supporting you,
• Holding you, carrying you along.
• Very relaxed and peaceful.
• No time or space.  Just you and the river flowing together.
• Home in the River.
• Very still.  Very peaceful.
• Deep Peace.
