Welcome,
And thank you for giving yourself this time.
Let's take a gentle journey inward,
Step-by-step,
Into the quiet sanctuary of inner peace.
Wherever you are,
Just allow yourself to arrive fully.
Let your body find comfort,
Let your breath find ease,
And let your heart be open to peace.
Feel the support beneath you.
Notice how the ground,
The chair,
The earth itself is holding you.
You do not have to hold everything on your own.
With each breath,
Give yourself permission to let go.
So,
Release the weight from your shoulders,
Soften your jaw,
Let your hands rest,
And allow your body to settle into this stillness.
This is your safe place,
A moment of return.
Bring your attention to your breath,
And just notice the gentle rise and fall,
Like waves on a calm shore.
You inhale,
And you are receiving,
And with the exhale,
You are releasing.
So,
Each breath in is a step inward,
And each breath out,
A step deeper into peace.
Breathe in,
Step inward.
Breathe out,
Step deeper into peace.
Continue.
You might silently whisper to yourself,
Breathing in,
I arrive,
And breathing out,
I am at peace.
Allow this rhythm to carry you gently inward,
For three more breaths in your own time.
And once more,
Breathing in,
I arrive,
Breathing out,
I am at peace.
Nice.
Now,
Just visualize that you are standing at the beginning of a quiet path.
This is the path of peace.
With your first step,
You feel the ground beneath you.
It's steady,
Strong,
And unshakable.
Each step takes you inward,
Deeper into your own being.
Perhaps this path winds through a tranquil forest,
Where sunlight filters gently through the leaves.
Or along a shoreline,
Where the waves kiss the sand in soft rhythm.
Or across a colorful meadow,
Alive with stillness,
Flowers,
And birdsong.
Just let your imagination choose the place that feels most peaceful to you.
As you walk,
Notice how each step brings you closer to your heart center.
Your mind quiets.
Your body softens.
And your heart opens.
With every step,
Silently repeat,
Peace is here,
Peace is within.
Step by step,
You enter deeper into yourself.
It's like moving through layers of noise and thought,
Until you arrive at the clear,
Quiet center of your being.
Or ahead,
You notice a gentle light.
It glows softly,
Like a warm flame or a shimmering star.
This light is your inner peace,
And it has always been here,
Waiting for you.
So move closer,
Feel its warmth,
And feel how it welcomes you without condition,
Without effort.
You are home.
Now sit or rest beside this light of peace.
Allow it to surround you,
To embrace you.
Breathe it in,
Feel it expand through your chest,
Your whole body,
Your whole being.
Remember,
Peace is not something you create,
It is something you remember.
It is the truth of who you are.
So rest here in silence for a few moments.
Let peace wash over you,
Let peace become you.
Notice the stillness,
Notice the gentle joy of being at ease.
You are free from striving,
You are free from pressure.
This is your sanctuary of inner peace.
Wonderful.
Now slowly and gently begin to bring your awareness back to your breath.
Notice the rise and fall,
Steady and calm.
Notice how your body feels,
Lighter,
Softer,
More open.
Remember,
The steps you took today are always available to you.
At any moment,
You can walk inward,
Return to this sanctuary and rest in your own peace.
So as you gently open your eyes,
Carry this peace with you into your day,
Into your relationships,
Into the world around you.
Step by step,
Peace begins within.
Namaste,
My friend.
