Welcome,
Dear one.
Begin by finding a position that feels kind to your body.
Seated or lying down,
Allow yourself to be supported.
Nothing to hold.
Nothing to fix.
Nothing to become.
Gently close your eyes.
Take a slow breath in through the nose and exhale through the mouth.
Inhale,
Deep and unhurried.
Exhale,
Long and releasing.
Let your breathing find its own rhythm now,
Like a tide that knows exactly when to arrive and exactly when to leave.
With each breath out,
Feel the edges of the day soften.
The weight you've been carrying begins to loosen its grip.
You do not need to carry everything at once.
Bring your awareness to the base of your body.
Feel where you meet the earth.
The floor beneath you.
The ground beneath the floor.
The ancient,
Steady presence below.
Imagine soft roots beginning to grow from you now.
Not sharp or heavy,
But warm,
Living threads of energy.
They travel gently downward,
Finding their way into the earth with ease.
The earth welcomes you.
It always does.
With every breath out,
Allow anything heavy.
Stress,
Tension,
Overthinking,
To travel down these roots.
The earth knows how to compost what you no longer need.
You are held.
You are held.
You are supported.
You are safe to rest here.
Now,
In your inner vision,
Imagine a quiet path appearing before you.
It winds through a peaceful landscape.
Perhaps a forest at dusk.
A meadow beneath moonlight.
Or a place that feels familiar to your soul.
The air here is gentle.
Cool,
But not cold.
Still,
But alive.
You begin to walk this path at an unhurried pace.
With every step,
You feel lighter.
More present.
More you.
Above you,
The sky glows softly.
The moon watching over you like an old friend.
Each step carries you further away from noise and closer to quiet knowing.
Ahead,
The path opens into a small clearing.
In the centre burns a low,
Steady flame.
Not hot,
Not fierce.
Just enough light to warm and comfort.
This flame was lit for you.
As you approach,
You notice how calm your body feels here.
Your shoulders soften.
Your jaw unclenches.
Your breath deepens without effort.
Take a seat beside the flame.
This is a place of release.
A place where nothing is demanded of you.
Now,
Gently bring to mind anything that has weighed on you today.
You do not need to relive it.
Just acknowledge it.
One by one,
Imagine placing these worries into the flame.
Like notes written on scraps of paper.
The flame receives them without judgement,
Without resistance.
Watch as they dissolve into soft sparks of light,
Rising upward and disappearing into the night sky.
Each release creates more space inside you.
You are allowed to rest.
Now,
Imagine the flame changing slightly.
Its colour softening into a warm,
Luminous glow.
This light begins to drift toward you,
Like mist or fireflies,
Wrapping gently around your body.
It seeps into your shoulders.
Your chest.
Your belly.
Your legs and feet.
Everywhere this light touches,
Tension melts.
Your nervous system settles.
Your thoughts slow.
This is not effort.
This is remembering how to be.
As you sit here,
Something begins to stir within you.
A quiet brightness.
A sense of inner steadiness.
You may notice a gentle smile forming,
Or a feeling of lightness in your chest.
You are more than the stress of a moment.
More than the weight of a day.
You carry resilience.
You carry wisdom.
You carry magic.
The quiet kind that endures.
Let yourself receive this feeling fully.
There is nothing to prove.
Nothing to rush toward.
Just being is enough.
Now,
Imagine the light gently settling into your heart space,
Like a small glowing ember.
This ember remains with you.
Calm when you need calm.
Strength when you need strength.
Light when you need reminding.
Place a hand over your heart if it feels right.
Silently or aloud affirm.
I release what no longer serves me.
I return to myself.
I am steady.
I am safe.
Let the clearing begin to fade softly,
Knowing you can return here any time.
Bring your awareness back to your breath.
Feel the earth beneath you once more.
The room around you.
The body you inhabit.
Wiggle your fingers gently.
Your toes.
Slowly,
Gently open your eyes.
Carry this calm with you.
Carry this light.
The spell is complete.
And it walks with you.
Blessed Be.
