Meditation | Ojai Garden Spa

Welcome to this sacred time of renewal and joy. As you rest on the massage table, allow your eyes to gently close. Take a deep breath in through your nose, holding it for a moment, and then exhale slowly through your mouth. With each exhale, feel your body softening, releasing any tension or heaviness.

This is your time to reconnect with the joy and vitality within you. Allow the rhythm of your breath and the therapist’s touch to guide you into a state of openness and renewal. Trust that you are held in this moment, nurtured and supported.

Begin by bringing your attention to your heart center, the source of your joy and vitality. Imagine a warm, golden light glowing there, like the sun gently rising in the morning sky. With every inhale, see this light growing brighter, filling your chest with warmth and happiness. With every exhale, release any heaviness or fatigue that no longer serves you.

As the therapist’s hands move across your body, imagine their touch awakening this golden light, encouraging it to flow through your entire being. Feel the light traveling to your arms, legs, and head, illuminating every corner of your body with radiant energy.

Picture this light as playful and free, like sunlight dancing on water. It reminds you of moments of pure happiness and invites you to reconnect with the simple joys of life. Let the light move wherever it’s needed, guided by the therapist’s care and your own intention for renewal.

Now, visualize yourself standing in a vibrant meadow filled with wildflowers of every color. The air is fresh, and the sunlight warms your skin. A gentle breeze carries the scent of blossoms and the sound of birdsong. This is a place of pure joy, created just for you.

As you walk through the meadow, feel the golden light from your heart expanding outward, connecting you to this joyful energy around you. With each step, you feel lighter and more vibrant, as though the meadow itself is sharing its energy with you.

Imagine the therapist’s touch aligning with this experience, their hands helping to weave this joyful energy into your physical body. Each movement is a reminder of your connection to life’s beauty and vitality.

Allow yourself to smile, even if just slightly. This smile is a reflection of the joy within you, a gentle acknowledgment of the renewal taking place. Trust that this joy is your natural state, always present and accessible.

As you bask in this energy of joy and renewal, silently or aloud, repeat the following affirmations:

I am filled with joy and vitality.
I embrace the beauty and wonder of life.
My body, mind, and spirit are renewed and whole.
Joy is my natural state, and I welcome it fully.

Feel these affirmations resonating deeply within you, amplifying the golden light in your heart. Let this light radiate outward, touching everything and everyone around you with its warmth and positivity.

As this meditation draws to a close, take a deep breath in, feeling the joy and renewal flowing through your body. Exhale slowly, grounding yourself in this vibrant energy. Know that this joy will remain with you, a constant source of strength and light.

Allow yourself to relax fully into the remainder of your massage. Let the therapist’s hands guide you deeper into this state of renewal, their touch reinforcing the joyful energy you have cultivated. This is your time to fully receive, to let go, and to embrace the care and love being offered to you.

Take one final deep breath, and when you are ready, simply rest in this state of joyful renewal, allowing it to continue nurturing and supporting you
