Hello and welcome.
I'm Trey,
And in this guided visualization,
A Magic Carpet Ride,
I invite you to open your creative mind and enjoy the journey.
Begin by settling into your favorite,
Quiet,
Comfortable place.
Get cozy and maybe cover yourself with a blanket.
And once you've settled,
Close your eyes and take a deep breath in.
As you exhale,
Allow your body to melt into your chair or your mat.
Become aware of your breath in its relaxed state.
Notice its pace and the texture of your breath.
Feel the coolness of the inhale and the warmth of the exhale.
And with every exhale,
Let your body soften and relax deeper and deeper.
Let your exhale be just a little bit longer than the inhale,
Not forced,
Not hurried.
Inhale deeply,
And exhale slow and easy.
Notice what happens when nothing is required of you.
And notice the space behind your eyes soften and your shoulders melt away from the ears.
And maybe your hips sink as your lumbar spine releases and your legs become heavy and still.
Now open your imagination and imagine yourself lying on a warm beach.
The sand beneath you is soft and warm and supportive.
Notice how it molds gently around your body.
Small little rises and dips beneath your back and your shoulders.
It's a beautiful day,
And you can feel the warmth of the sun on your skin.
Above you,
The sky is wide and blue,
And it's dotted with soft white clouds drifting by.
You hear the steady rhythm of the ocean rolling in.
The sound is soothing,
Predictable.
And somewhere overhead,
The seabirds call to one another.
The sound carried easily on the breeze.
And beneath you is a blanket.
It's soft and familiar and comfortable.
Rest here for a moment.
Take it all in and let your body feel the safety of the ground beneath you.
The warmth of the sun above you and the steady breath moving in and out.
And as you lie here on the beach,
You feel your blanket begin to lift and become light.
And you slowly notice you begin to rise up off the beach,
Floating,
Hovering,
A few inches above the sand.
A slow and steady rise.
Your beach blanket is now a magic carpet.
You feel yourself move and begin to float forward,
Gliding smoothly along the shoreline.
Not too fast,
Just a smooth glide.
Breathe in a sense of peace and exhale the feeling of joy.
A gentle breeze on your skin.
You're close enough to the water you could almost touch it.
Your fingers could skim across the surface of the ocean.
And the waves cast a fine mist on your skin.
Take this breath in.
Breathe in joy.
And breathe out wonder and awe.
And as you travel a little faster along the shoreline,
The waves spray and sparkle in the sunlight.
Waves below you roll beneath you.
You feel steady and alive.
When you look out at the ocean,
Towards the horizon,
Where the edge of the sea meets the sky in the distance,
And you find you can control the direction you're flying.
You turn towards the sea.
Toward the horizon.
Flying fast and free over the sea.
And you notice movement in the water beside you.
As dolphins appear.
Leaping gracefully in and out of the sea.
Swimming right beside you as you fly.
They move with ease and with joy.
Keeping pace right with you.
Close enough that you can feel their presence.
Playful,
Intelligent,
And so free.
And after a while,
Your magic carpet begins to tilt gently upward.
You begin to rise higher and higher into the sky.
And the beach below becomes smaller.
And the coastline stretches out beneath you.
And you pass through soft layers of clouds.
And soon you find yourself high above the earth.
Above the sea and the clouds.
And you continue higher and higher.
And the bright blue sky fades to the vastness of outer space.
And of course,
On your magic carpet,
You can breathe here.
And the stars appear.
Countless and luminous.
More stars than you've ever,
Ever seen before.
Twinkling like diamonds.
You fly past the moon.
You see the earth like a giant,
Peaceful blue and green marble in the sky.
From this perspective,
There is only peace.
And you're flying through the entire solar system.
You travel past Mars.
And Jupiter,
With its moons gliding quietly around you.
Smooth,
Round,
And luminous.
Each following its own gentle path.
And now,
Through the rings of Saturn.
And you pass Uranus.
And then Neptune.
And Pluto.
And you come to the edge of the solar system.
The silence here is comforting.
And you pass swirling nebulas.
Distant comets streaking softly across the vastness of space.
The stars glow quietly all around you.
And you continue to float.
Held.
And supported.
You see ribbons of light drifting slowly like glowing curtains.
Faint clouds of comic dust shimmering like mist.
Bands of color like a prism where the light bends and spreads.
Quiet paths of starlight stretching endlessly in one direction.
Satellites gliding by.
Blinking gently as they pass.
And the soft,
Soft glow of distant galaxies spiraling with light and life.
The curve of shadows where light fades into darkness.
And the calm of stillness and silence.
Wide and spacious.
With no sense of time.
You are held here safely.
Floating.
Supported.
And surrounded by the abundance of the universe.
Where you can ask for whatever you need.
Gather up the abundance of the universe.
And draw it right down into your heart.
Linger here for a few breaths.
In peace.
In wonder.
And in joy.
As if you already have exactly what you asked for from the universe.
And now it's time for your carpet to begin its gentle return.
You begin to travel back through the stars.
Through the solar system.
Past all the planets.
And you pause.
And hover here for a moment as you reach the earth.
Take it all in.
The earth glows softly.
Blue oceans.
White swirls of clouds.
Slow curves of the land.
And you float.
Watching the planet spin.
Everything moves so quietly.
It's so peaceful from here.
And from here nothing pulls at you.
Nothing is required of you.
Just drifting.
And floating.
As you descend back down to earth,
Carry this peace with you.
Remember this moment as you begin your descent back down.
Down through the atmosphere.
Down through the clouds.
Down,
Down,
And down.
The beach comes into view below.
And the shoreline.
The familiar curve of the land and the water.
The dolphins appear once more.
Swimming beside you as you glide along the ocean.
And finally,
Your carpet lowers itself with ease and with grace.
Back onto the warm sand.
Where you feel the steady support beneath you.
The warmth of the sun.
The sound of the waves.
Take a few more moments here.
Begin to notice your breath.
And your body once again.
And the place you've returned to.
And when you're ready,
Bring your awareness back.
Wiggle your fingers and your toes.
And when it feels right,
You can open your eyes and carry this sense of peace and wonder and ease with you into the world.
Thank you for watching.
