Walking on the Rainbow Meditation
by Rita Maher
Listen to this meditation designed for Children
Sit down in your favourite place and relax. Close your eyes and take a deep breath into your centre and exhale. Breathe in again and exhale. Keep breathing into your centre, and with each breath in and out feel your body relaxing, letting go of the worries of today.
Notice around you the area filling with a wonderful white golden light. Breathe this light in and allow it to fill you from your toes, moving up through your legs, into your torso, filling your arms all the way to your fingers and then flowing to your head. As this light flows upwards feel it flow out from your crown charka connecting you with the universe.
Before you stand a rainbow, see all of the colours- red, orange, yellow, green, blue indigo and violet- all lay out in front of you like a garden path leading to the rainbow that forms a bridge.
Your start to walk along the red section of the rainbow path and as you do you feel the beautiful glow of ruby red light fill you body. As it does, it resonates at the base of your spine in your root chakra. See the light spinning in this area, as it does it's allowing you to feel safe and secure in your life and present in this moment.
Now take further steps along the path, walking in the orange section leading to the base of the rainbow bridge. Feel and see the glow of orange light, allow it to surround you as you make your way along the path. Feel it fill your body, swirling around inside you and then settling in your lower abdomen area at your sacral chakra. See the ball of orange glowing inside you allowing you to be in touch with you feelings and sexuality. You are free to express these feelings. You are in touch with who you are.
Climbing further up your rainbow you walk in the yellow section. The colour is as bright as the sun on a clear day and there is a real warmth associated with this light. Feel it warming you and filling you up inside, heating your whole body. Allow this warm sun yellow light wand to settle at your solar plexus chakra, just behind the navel area. Feel the warmth from within. As you do, you have a great feeling of joy and happiness. You feel good about being you.
As you take you next sets along the rainbow you are feeling lighter than before. You are now walking on the beautiful emerald green path guiding you higher up the rainbow. The emerald green light is all around you, filling your body until it settles in the heart charka located at the center of your chest area. Allow the emerald light to shine brightly here as you feel love and compassion towards yourself and others. You know now that you can love freely without the worry of pain or guilt. From this area you develop greater understanding towards others. This emerald green light brings love into your life.
Travelling even higher upon your rainbow, walking now within a sky bright blue light, your body is lighter still and is filled with ideas and creativity. Allow this light to fill your body as it moves up from the toes and settles in your throat chakra. See a bright blue light emanate from here, allowing you clear expression of ideas and feelings. You can sing from the highest mountain now, you are able to speak your truth in a loving compassionate way.
Stepping higher still we move upwards, walking now in the indigo light of the rainbow. This beautiful indigo light fills your body. As it does, you begin to understand the statement, " I know". The light settles in you at your sixth charka, the third eye, located above the brows between your eyes. This beautiful indigo light lets you see clearly. You know and see the future. Insight comes to your easily from here, clarity of thought is now yours.
As we reach the peak of our rainbow, walking steadily now in the colour of violet, your body is filled with love, understanding, security, compassion, knowing, truth and wisdom of the ages. The colour violet fills your body, moving from your toes right to your crown charka, located at the top of your head. You are filled with bliss and peace about your world and who you are with in it.
I will leave you here now to enjoy all the beauty that has filled you from red of security to the violet of total understanding. Walk further along your rainbow if you like and move within the colours that resonate well with you.
It's is now time to bring your awareness back to the place where you are sitting, back to your body, gently slide down your rainbow and start to feel yourself fill your body. Become aware of your breathing, become aware of your toes, your arms your body and when you are ready bring your awareness totally back to where you are now and open your eyes. Know that the rainbow is always there for you to walk upon.
