Do not listen to this recording whilst driving,
Operating heavy machinery,
Or in any situation where you or any other person could become endangered if you lose focus.
Close your eyes and take a very slow deep breath all the way in and release.
And take another breath all the way in and relax more and more.
You'll begin to now find with each and every breath you let go,
You relax more and more.
As you go deeper and deeper,
Taking your mind within,
Feeling safe and comfortable,
Warm.
And you can begin to relax more deeply.
As you relax more and more,
Feeling light and warm,
Calm.
As you relax gently more and more now,
And you will with each and every breath that you let go,
You're relaxing here and there,
There and here.
Until gradually a calming wave of relaxation begins to spread throughout the whole of your body,
Loosening up,
Unwinding every muscle,
Every vessel.
As your body and mind let's go more and more,
You get into the rhythm of your breathing.
And consciously you may be distracted by the thoughts or the sounds around you.
But sounds are a natural part of everyday life and they remind you that you're alive and you can take great comfort in hearing those sounds.
So just allow those sounds to play out in the background and those thoughts to drift through your mind as you take your focus all the way in now and allow yourself to go deeper and deeper.
Because there is nothing you have to do,
Just allowing the sound of my voice to relax you more and more.
And you can begin to drift more and more relaxed,
Drifting deeper and deeper all the way down,
All the way down through the clouds and the blue sky now.
And you gently land upon the warm golden sands of this special place,
A place where the ocean hugs the shore and the waves curl up to meet your toes.
The palm trees sway in a gentle warm breeze,
So relaxing,
So comfortable.
As you become mesmerized by the rhythm of the waves,
Rolling in,
Calm and relaxed,
Calm and relaxed,
Calm and relaxed.
As you walk through this dreamy place,
The smell of exotic tropical flowers interweaving with the birds singing a happy song to uplift your senses.
And you can discover so many different ways to relax,
As a feeling of peace begins to move through every part of you more and more.
The hair juicy pods of dolphins surfing the waves,
Leaping,
Spinning,
Happily,
So free,
So peaceful.
And as you begin to wonder about those dolphins,
How far they've journeyed to be here in this special place,
Just like you.
A place where you can be free to be safe and happy.
A place where you can dream and bask in the golden warmth of the sun,
So calm,
So relaxed with each and every breath you let go.
Drifting deeper and deeper into that deep inner calm.
You can follow those dolphins.
They are leading you to a place just ahead,
Further and further,
Like a current that soothes you.
And you can discover so many different ways to relax now,
Each moment captivating your imagination.
A head,
A glint,
A spark of light captures your eye.
As it tumbles around and around in the waves,
A discovery.
With a sense of excitement,
You walk towards it.
As you get closer,
You know this special,
A feeling you have felt many times before.
You see a bottle washing up on shore,
And there is a message tucked inside.
Your heart joyful as you pull the cork out of the bottle,
And the message slides easily into your hands.
And on that piece of paper is a message for you,
And only you.
The handwriting seems familiar,
As familiar as the warmth of the sun,
And the cool of the ocean breeze as it caresses your senses like a comforting hug.
As you feel that warm embrace all over,
You can absorb each and every word.
A message written from your future self to the you that stands here today.
Knowing and trusting that the words here and the meaning there will arrive to you safely,
Just when the time's right.
So,
Go ahead,
Know,
Feel,
Hear and see what your message is.
What you need to learn,
To discover,
To remember the you that has your best interests at heart.
Because you know deep down what is right for you,
What feels good,
What resonates with every fiber of your being.
So,
Go ahead and absorb that message deeply now.
And on the other side of the piece of paper,
Is an invitation for you to write something to your past self,
Your future self.
So,
Go ahead,
Take that pencil and write from your heart one word or many words,
So that anytime you need to,
You can come back here again and again.
Learn something new,
Recover something old,
And discover something so special,
So comforting,
That underneath all the layers of your life,
You'll know peace,
The wisdom that you have always had.
So,
Go ahead,
Take a moment now to write your message.
And when you are ready,
Throw that bottle back into the vast ocean within yourself.
And watch as the dolphins playfully carry your message through you,
Within you,
To be echoed like a conversation overheard in the distance.
With each and every step you take,
Each and every minute of each and every day,
You can feel that wonder and connect to that deep inner treasure that moves through every part of your mind,
Your body,
And your emotions,
Peacefully,
With each and every breath you take.
And that is real,
That is right,
That.
And just allowing yourself to drift here and there,
There and here,
Like a leaf on the breeze that tumbles up towards the warmth of the sun,
Drifting or floating higher and higher.
Lighter and lighter you as you drift here and there,
There and here,
So high,
So light,
So free.
Finding what you need inside now.
And on the count of three,
You can find yourself coming back into this room now,
Feeling so very deeply relaxed,
A deep sense of peace,
Of calm.
One,
Taking a nice deep breath all the way in now.
Two,
Coming back into your body,
Feeling the warmth of your hands or your tummy,
Your legs,
Your face,
Soft.
And three,
Opening your eyes and coming back into this space now.
