Before we begin,
Please ensure that you are in a safe and comfortable space where you will not be disturbed.
This meditation is designed to guide you into a deeply relaxed state,
So it is important that you do not listen to this while driving,
Operating heavy machinery or engaging in any activities requiring your full attention.
Find a comfortable position,
Either seated or lying down,
And allow yourself this time to fully relax and focus on your wellbeing.
Welcome to this time just for you.
When you're ready,
Gently close your eyes.
Let's take a deep breath in,
And slowly exhale.
With each breath,
Feel yourself letting go of the day,
Sinking deeper into this moment.
Now imagine yourself standing at the edge of a beautiful forest,
The air is crisp,
Cool and refreshing.
You can hear the gentle rustle of leaves as a soft breeze weaves through the trees.
The scent of pine and earth fill your senses,
Grounding you in this tranquil space.
As I count down from ten,
Allow yourself to walk deeper into this serene forest.
With each number,
Feel yourself letting go of tension and stepping closer to calm.
Ten,
Taking the first step onto the soft forest floor.
Nine,
Feeling the weight of the day lifting away.
Eight,
Noticing the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees.
Seven,
Hearing the gentle calls of birds in the distance.
Six,
Feeling lighter,
Calmer,
More at ease.
Five,
Deeper into relaxation.
Four,
A wave of peace washing over you.
Three,
Knowing this moment is just for you.
Two,
Almost there.
One,
Completely relaxed here in your forest sanctuary.
Picture yourself standing at the edge of a lush,
Tranquil forest.
As you take a slow breath in,
Imagine the fresh scent of pine and earth filling your lungs.
With each exhale,
Feel the tension in your body begin to fade,
Carried away like leaves drifting on a gentle breeze.
Take a step into the forest,
Noticing the soft crunch of leaves beneath your feet.
The tall trees surround you,
Their branches forming a canopy of peace and serenity.
With every breath,
You feel more connected to this natural sanctuary,
As if the forest is absorbing your worries and replacing them with calm.
Feel your shoulders relax as a soft breeze brushes against your skin.
With every inhale,
You draw in the tranquility of the forest,
And with every exhale,
You let go of tension.
Take one more deep breath,
Allowing this peaceful energy to flow through you,
And as you exhale,
Release anything that no longer serves you.
When you're ready to return,
Gently bring your awareness back to the forest.
Hear the gentle rustle of leaves,
Feel the ground beneath your feet,
And take a deep breath in,
Filling your lungs with the crisp forest air.
Exhale gently and fully.
As I count up from one to five,
You will gradually come back to the present moment,
Feeling refreshed and at peace.
One,
Slowly becoming aware of your surroundings.
Two,
Gently moving your fingers and toes.
Three,
Feeling energy returning to your physical body.
Four,
Stretching gently if it feels good.
Five,
Opening your eyes when you're ready,
Feeling fully present and grounded.
