Transcript

Sit or lie down comfortably,

Close your eyes,

And begin with a deep breath.

Breathe in slowly through your nose,

Feeling the fresh air filling your lungs,

And exhale slowly through your mouth,

Releasing all the tension of the day.

Repeat this a few times until you feel completely relaxed.

Imagine yourself in a peaceful place,

Perhaps a dense green forest edge or a serene garden filled with blooming flowers.

You feel the gentle touch of warm sunlight on your skin and the light breeze rustling through the leaves.

In this tranquil setting,

You see a path before you,

An inviting path winding through the landscape.

This path leads you on an inner journey,

A journey to your authentic self.

Feel the curiosity and anticipation as you take your first steps on this path.

As you walk along the path,

You notice the beauty of nature around you.

The colors are vibrant,

The scents are fresh,

And the sounds of birds and rustling leaves bring you a deep sense of peace.

With every step you take,

You feel yourself relaxing even more,

Feeling more deeply connected to the earth beneath your feet.

After walking for a while,

You arrive at a quiet clearing in the forest.

In the center of this clearing stands an ancient,

Majestic tree.

The tree radiates wisdom and timelessness.

You feel drawn to it and walk towards it.

Sitting at the base of the tree,

You lean against its sturdy trunk.

Feel the support and strength of the tree behind you.

Close your eyes and imagine roots growing from your body,

Deep into the earth.

These roots connect you with the ground beneath you,

Giving you stability and strength.

Feel yourself drawing energy from the earth,

Anchoring yourself in here and now.

In this state of deep relaxation and connection,

You begin an inner journey.

Imagine a staircase leading downward,

Deep into yourself.

This staircase takes you to your inner world,

The place where your authentic self resides.

With each step down,

You feel yourself relaxing even more.

Drawing closer and closer to your true self,

You continue descending.

At the bottom of the staircase,

You arrive in a beautiful space.

This space is unique to you,

Filled with everything you love and everything that brings you joy.

Look around and take in the details of this space.

Feel the peace and joy that it brings you.

In the center of this space,

You see a mirror.

This mirror is different from any ordinary mirror.

It doesn't just reflect your outer appearance,

But also your inner self.

Step in front of the mirror and look into it.

See yourself as you truly are,

Without masks or pretenses.

See the strength,

Wisdom and beauty that reside within you.

This is your authentic self,

The core of who you are.

Take a moment to connect with your authentic self.

What does the self want to tell you?

Listen to the words of wisdom,

The insights and the truths that arise.

Feel the strength and peace that come from knowing your true self.

I'll remain silent for a moment so you can listen to the messages.

When you are ready,

Thank your authentic self for the insights and guidance.

Know that you can always return to this inner space,

To this mirror,

Whenever you need to reconnect with your true self.

Slowly begin your journey back up the staircase.

With each step you take upward,

You feel yourself becoming more and more connected to your authentic self,

Feeling strength and peace building within you.

As you reach the top of the staircase,

You find yourself once again at the base of the majestic tree.

Feel the support of the tree behind you and the connection with the earth beneath you.

Take a few deep breaths and rise from your place by the tree.

Now slowly begin walking back along the path that led you here.

As you walk back,

Notice once again the beauty of nature around you,

The colors seem even more vibrant,

The scents more intense,

And the sounds of nature bring you a deep sense of joy and peace.

With every step you take,

Feel the strength and serenity of your authentic self moving with you.

As you follow the paths,

Feel how each step grounds you more deeply in your true self.

Each step brings you closer to the here and now,

While also drawing you nearer to your inner truth.

Feel how the energy and insights you have gained surround you like a protective,

Empowering glow.

As you approach the end of the path,

You find yourself back where you started.

Stand still,

Take a deep breath in and out and take a moment to reflect on the journey you've made.

Feel the peace,

The strength and the connection with your authentic self.

Be proud of the journey you've taken and know that you always have access to this inner source of strength and wisdom.

Slowly begin to move your fingers and toes,

Stretch if you'd like,

And gently open your eyes.

You are back in here and now,

But you carry the strength,

Wisdom and peace of your authentic self with you.
