Rain Forest Renewal

Goal:  Release Tensions

Affirmation:  I am free. 

The last months of my pregnancy were uncomfortable.  As I was retaining water from my high blood pressure situation I reached 200 pounds.  Once I gave birth and began to breast feed I lost a tremendous amount of weight with in weeks.  We are talking 40 pounds within the first month.  As the breast feeding continued my body was feeling dried out and another 10 pounds.  I was drinking so much water to compensate for the milk production and losing so much weight so quickly that I felt the life being sucked out of me.  With the intense breast feeding schedule,  my sore shoulders, back and breasts, I needed a time of renewal.  I was feeling bound and in-need of a mental vacation or escape.  I have always liked traveling to tropical places or visiting gardens.  It was this sense of escape that I get from visiting these places that are always full of oxygen and life that led me to develop my Rain Forest meditation. 

Meditation

Imagine a beautiful rain forest has grown all around you, the rains falling from heaven, dripping on you two like a shower head.  Crystal blue with every drop hitting you bringing a freshness, vital to your babies growth.  Water running down your neck and chest onto your baby.  Washing away tension or just a past experience that no longer serves either you or the baby in the present.  It is these tensions that drip out of your feet into the earth.  Deep breath as you relax your brow, your neck, bringing your awarness into your shoulders, arms, wrists and fingers.  The tension dripping from your finger tips.  Water is still running thru your spine down into your hips, finding tension in your thighs, knees, calves around your ankles and finally dripping from your toes.  Continue to cycle these tensions out with your breath until you feel fresh and light in body.
