Come To A Place Of Calm

As we begin,

I would like you to find a quiet and comfortable place to sit.

Making sure that your back is straight and that you won't be disturbed.

I now invite you to close your eyes and to take a deep breath into the count of four.

One,

Two,

Three,

Four.

Hold to the count of four.

One,

Two,

Three,

Four.

And out to the count of four.

One,

Two,

Three,

Four.

And again,

Into the count of four.

One,

Two,

Three,

Four.

Hold to the count of four.

One,

Two,

Three,

Four.

And out to the count of four.

One,

Two,

Three,

Four.

As you continue to breathe in a relaxed way,

It is time to scan your body for any remaining stress.

Notice your toes and give them a wiggle.

Rotate your ankles.

Relax your legs and your tummy.

Relax your arms by giving them a shake.

Wiggle your fingers.

Circle your hands and your shoulders too.

Slowly turn your head to the right.

Back to the center.

And then to the left.

Coming back to the center,

Take another deep breath in through your nose and out again.

Imagining your stress falling away,

Breathing deeply in and out.

Take another deep breath,

Allowing yourself to feel protected and safe.

I would now like you to imagine or sense yourself in a forest or somewhere in nature that feels good to you.

Hear the sounds around you.

What can you hear?

What can you see?

Taking in another deep breath,

Releasing your stress even further.

Knowing you are safe.

You are calm.

You are safe.

You are calm.

The sounds of nature,

The feeling of peace wrap themselves around you,

Bringing you to a deeper place of calm.

You are safe.

You are calm.

You are safe.

You are calm.

You are safe.

Breathing gently in.

And out.

Letting go,

Letting go.

Breathing gently in.

And out.

Letting go,

Letting go.

Breathing in.

And out.

In.

And out.

You are safe.

You are calm.

You are safe.

You are calm.

Breathing gently in.

And out.

In.

And out.

As we get ready to leave this place of beauty,

Silently thank it for the time it has shared with you.

With gratitude in your heart,

Take another breath,

Slowly bringing your attention back to the room.

Wiggle your toes.

Your fingers.

And gently roll your shoulders.

It is now time to open your eyes.

As you take another breath,

You are now fully present in your surroundings.

Notice how you feel and how things look.

And as you go about your day,

You can tap into this new feeling of calmness at any time you may choose.

Repeat this meditation as often as needed.

Be blessed.
