Waves Of Calm

Hello and welcome.

Find a comfortable position,

Either sitting or lying down.

Close your eyes gently and take a slow deep breath in and exhale fully.

Allow your body to settle.

Feel the surface supporting you,

Carrying your weight with ease.

Imagine yourself walking along a quiet shoreline.

The sun is gentle,

The sky is open and the sound of waves rolls softly towards you.

You are safe,

You are supported and you are present in this peaceful space.

Bring your attention to your body.

Notice how it feels where it meets the ground or chair.

Feel your feet rooted like sand beneath the waves.

With every breath,

Imagine drawing up energy from the earth and letting tension flow out through your exhale.

Listen to the waves in your mind,

The gentle rise and fall,

The soothing rhythm.

Let this natural rhythm guide your breath.

Inhale with the waves approach.

Exhale as it recedes.

Now bring your senses fully into this moment.

Imagine the sparkling water,

The soft sand,

Maybe seashells scattered along the shore.

Hear the waves lapping,

Seabirds calling and the gentle breeze.

Feel the warm sun on your skin,

The sand beneath your feet and the cool mist of the sea air.

Inhale the crisp salty air,

Letting it refresh your mind and body.

Allow yourself to be fully present here,

Letting any thoughts drift away like clouds across the sky.

With each wave,

Imagine releasing any tension,

Any worry or any fear.

Let the ocean carry it away.

With each return of the wave,

Feel calmness and clarity filling your body.

Your nervous system relaxes.

Your mind softens.

You are safe,

Steady and at ease.

Take a few moments here,

Simply breathing,

Feeling and being with the sea.

When you're ready,

Gently bring your awareness back to your body.

Feel the surface supporting you once again.

Wriggle your fingers and toes.

Take a deep,

Rounding breath.

Carry the calm,

The rhythm and the peace of the sea with you into the rest of your day.

Slowly open your eyes when you're ready.

Thank you.
