The autumn season is a time of change,

A time of transformation and a time of letting go.

As you look around,

Notice the leaves on the trees,

How they have turned vibrant colours and how they eventually fall to the ground.

As you breathe in the scent of a forest,

Take a moment to reflect on the changing cycle of life.

Just like the leaves on the trees,

We too go through cycles of change and transformation.

Sometimes we hold on to things that no longer serve us,

Things that we need to let go of in order to grow and evolve.

The autumn season reminds us that it's ok to let go,

To release what is holding us back and to trust in the process of life.

As you continue to breathe naturally,

Focus on the sensations around you,

Feel the crisp autumn air on your skin.

Notice the crunch of the leaves beneath your feet and take in the rich earthy scents of the forest.

Allow yourself to fully be present in this sensory experience and let the natural beauty of the season calm your mind and relax your body.

As you reflect on the changing cycle of life,

Think about what you may need to release in order to evolve and grow.

Perhaps there are thoughts or beliefs that are no longer serving you,

Or maybe there are relationships or situations that you need to let go of.

Whatever it may be,

Trust in the process and know that as you let go,

You create space for new growth and opportunities.

Visualise yourself surrounded by vibrant colours of autumn and feel the textures of the leaves around you as you breathe in the cool crisp air.

Imagine yourself letting go of anything that no longer serves you,

At the same time,

Release any tension or stress,

Just so you can relax as you continue to breathe deeply.

Allow your mind to drift into a peaceful state,

Let go of any thoughts or worries and simply be in this present moment.

As you take a step forward,

Your foot sinks into the pile of leaves beneath you,

Sending a satisfying crunch through the air.

As you continue to walk,

You notice the vibrant colours of the leaves on the trees,

How they have transformed from green to orange,

Red and yellow.

You take in the sights around you,

The brilliant colours of autumn and the gentle breeze that carries the scent of fallen leaves.

With each step,

You feel yourself becoming more grounded and centred.

The roundedness you feel in your body connects you to the earth,

And you begin to realise things about yourself that you may have previously overlooked.

You notice your own capacity for growth and transformation,

The beauty of impermanence and the importance of letting go.

You continue to walk and the wind begins to pick up,

The leaves rustle around you and you feel the wind brush against your face.

The weather is cool and crisp,

And the sky is a brilliant blue.

You can feel the autumn sun on your skin,

Warming you from within.

You notice the sensation of the leaves crunching beneath your feet,

Each step sends a satisfying rustle through the air and you feel your body become more and more relaxed.

With each passing moment,

You take in the scent of the autumn forest,

The rich,

Earthy smell of fallen leaves and the cool crisp air that fills your lungs.

You begin to realise things about yourself that you may have never considered before.

You notice your own inner strength,

The resilience that allows you to weather life's storms and the beauty of your own unique journey.

The wind picks up again and you feel it rush through your hair.

You breathe in deeply,

Taking in the sensation of the wind on your skin and the sound of leaves rustling around you.

You begin to notice the beauty of the impermanence of life,

Just as the leaves on the trees will eventually form to the ground and decompose,

So too will any worries or concerns.

You continue to walk with this realisation,

Feeling more and more relaxed and centred with each step.

The beauty of the autumn forest surrounds you and you feel your body becoming more and more at ease.

You take in the sights and sounds of the season,

Feeling a sense of calmness from within.

As the wind picks up,

It begins to rain.

Despite the hustle and bustle of the hectic weather,

There is a quietness inside that fills you with a sense of calmness.

The storm rages around you,

The rain pouring down and the wind howling,

But amidst it all,

There is a stillness that you have rarely felt before.

Now coming out of the forest,

You walk through the rain soaked streets,

Noticing that there are not many people around,

The few that are out seem to be in a hurry,

Rushing to get out of the storm and back into the safety of their homes.

But you are not in a rush,

You feel content simply to be here,

To be present in this moment and to experience the quietness that comes with being alone in the storm.

There is something about the way the rain falls that fills you with a sense of peace,

The sound of it hitting the pavement,

The scent of the earth as it is refreshed by the downpour,

And the way the drops dance on your skin,

All serve to create a sense of serenity that you find hard to put into words.

As you walk,

You begin to notice the details around you that you might have missed in the busyness of everyday life,

The way the raindrops cling to the leaves of the trees,

The way the light reflects off the wet pavement,

And the way the colours of the world seem to be more vibrant in the aftermath of the storm.

Despite the chaos of the weather,

You feel a sense of stillness inside of you that you associate with calmer thinking.

Your mind is not racing,

But instead it is focused on this present moment,

Taking in the sights and sounds around you.

You begin to realise that this sense of calm comes not from the absence of noise or chaos,

But from a deeper sense of inner peace.

It comes from being able to quiet the mind and focus on the present moment,

To let go of the distractions and worries of everyday life,

And also to simply be present in the here and now.

There is a certain beauty in the quietness of the storm,

A sense of peace that can be found even in the midst of chaos.

As you walk through the rain soaked streets,

You feel a sense of gratitude for this moment,

For the opportunity to experience the world in a new way,

And for the stillness inside that allows you to appreciate it all.

In the end,

It is not the storm that matters,

But rather the way we experience it,

Whether we choose to rush through it,

Seeking shelter from the chaos,

Or whether we choose to embrace it,

Finding the stillness within,

And appreciating the beauty of the world around us.

It is up to us to decide how we will experience the storms of life,

And in that choice lies the power to find peace,

Even in the midst of the most hectic weather.

As you continue to walk through the storm,

You feel a sense of perspective beginning to take shape within you.

The chaos of the weather has forced you to slow down,

To take stock of your surroundings and to appreciate the present moment.

In doing so,

You have gained a new clarity and understanding of your life,

Also your priorities and perhaps your future.

The calmness that you feel within is a direct result of this newfound perspective.

You are no longer caught up in the worries and stresses of the future,

Or the regrets and mistakes of the past,

Instead,

You are able to see the present moment for what it truly is,

An opportunity to live and experience life to the fullest.

You begin to realise that your vision of the future has also become clearer,

The distractions and noise of everyday life have fallen away,

Leaving you with a sense of purpose and direction that you may have missed before.

You can see now what truly matters in your life,

What brings you joy and what steps you need to take to achieve any goals or dreams that you have.

The storm has served as a metaphor for the challenges and obstacles that you face in life,

It can be easy to get caught up in the chaos and drama of these challenges.

Losing sight of your goals and dreams in the process,

But if you can find a way to weather the storm,

To remain calm and focused amidst the chaos,

Then you can emerge from it stronger,

Wiser and with a clearer vision of the future.

Now finding your way home,

You step inside and close the door,

The quietness is almost overwhelming,

After the tumultuous storm you just faced,

The sound of the rain and wind is replaced with the gentle hum of the heater and the creaking of the wooden floors beneath you.

The atmosphere is cosy and inviting,

A contrast to the wilderness outside,

You take off your shoes and jacket,

Feeling the warmth of your home enveloping you like a hug.

The quietness is soothing,

A balm for your soul,

It's as if the peace of your home has washed away any remaining tension or anxiety,

Leaving you feeling centred and very calm.

You wander through the rooms,

Taking in the familiar sights and sound of your home,

The soft glow of the lamp in the living room,

The gentle ticking of the clock in the kitchen,

The scent of the vanilla candle on the mantel,

Each detail of your home is like a comforting embrace,

Reminding you of the safety and security that you have here.

As you settle into your favourite armchair,

You close your eyes and breathe deeply,

Allowing the stillness of your home to wash over you,

It's a moment of pure relaxation,

A moment to savour after the intensity of the storm.

In this quietness,

You can reflect on the lessons that you learned during your walk,

The clarity and perspective that you gained have not dissipated with the change in scenery,

Instead they are amplified by the serenity of your home,

Allowing you to see your life and perhaps your future with even greater clarity and purpose.

As you make your way up the stairs,

The sounds of autumn weather continue to follow you,

The wind howls and the rain taps at the windows,

You climb into bed,

Feeling the softness of the sheets against your skin and the cosiness of the blankets around you.

You begin to relax,

Concentrating on each area of your body in turn.

As you focus on your feet,

You imagine them sinking deep into the cool earth,

With a sensation of the fallen leaves and twigs beneath them.

You feel grounded and rooted,

Connected to the earth and the season of autumn.

As you move your attention to your legs,

You imagine the muscles and tendons relaxing and releasing any tension that has built up.

You visualise the colours of autumn,

The deep oranges and reds of the changing leaves,

And you feel the warmth and comfort that comes with this time of the year.

Scanning your torso,

You focus on your breath,

Letting it slow and deepen with each cycle.

The sound of the autumn weather outside continues to provide a soothing background,

A reminder of the beauty and power of nature.

As you move your attention to your arms and hands,

You imagine the crisp air of autumn swirling around you,

The sensation of the wind on your skin,

And you feel a sense of freedom,

As if the changing season is encouraging you to let go of anything that no longer serves you.

As you concentrate on your head and neck,

You visualise the autumn sky,

Dark and moody with the promise of change.

You imagine the rain washing away any negative thoughts or worries,

Leaving you with a clear and focused mind.

You are left with a sense of calmness and deep relaxation,

Both your mind and body are at peace with the sounds of autumn outside,

Continuing to provide a calming atmosphere for you to sleep.

As you drift off to sleep,

The sounds of the autumn weather begin to fade away,

Replaced with a gentle silence.

The quietness of the night is soothing,

A reminder of the peace and calmness that you found during your walk.

As you snuggle deeper into your warm and cosy bed,

You feel a sense of comfort and security,

The softness of the pillows and blankets,

The warmth of the covers,

And the gentle rhythm of your breath all conspire to make you feel safe and at ease.

You allow yourself to sink deeper into the comfort of your bed,

Feeling the weight of the day slowly slipping away.

The thoughts that once raced through your mind seem so distant and unimportant now.

As you continue to drift off to sleep,

You imagine the comfort of the season of autumn wrapping around you like a warm blanket,

The vibrant colours of the leaves,

The crispness of the air and the promise of change,

All filling you with a sense of hope and possibility.

And as your mind begins to quiet and your body relaxes deeply into sleep,

You are filled with a deep gratitude for the comfort that you have in your life.

The challenges and storms may come and go,

But the comfort and safety of your bed remain a constant source of peace and calmness.

As you finally slip into slumber,

You know that you will awaken feeling refreshed and renewed,

Ready to face whatever the day may bring.

And in the meantime,

You will rest easy in the warmth of your bed,

Grateful for the beauty of autumn and the power of rest and sleep.

As the autumn leaves fall,

You release any negative thoughts or worries that no longer serve you.

The comfort of your bed fills you with peace and relaxation.

The sounds of the autumn weather lull you into a restful sleep.

You are surrounded by the beauty and peace of the season of autumn.

As you close your eyes,

You allow yourself to sink deeply into the comfort and security of your bed.

The changing season reminds you that change and growth are natural and beautiful.

The cosy blankets and soft pillows of your bed provide you with a sense of comfort.

The storms of life cannot shake the peace and tranquility that you find in your bed.

You release any stress or tension as you drift off to sleep.

The quiet of the night allows you to connect with your inner peace and wisdom.

The comfort of your bed reminds you that you are loved and cared for.

As you close your eyes,

You are filled with a sense of gratitude for the beauty and abundance in your life.

The season of autumn encourages you to let go of anything that no longer serves you.

The warmth of your bed allows you to rest and recharge your body.

The crisp air of autumn fills you with a sense of energy and vitality.

The beauty of the changing leaves inspires you to embrace change.

The quiet of the night reminds you to slow down and appreciate the present moment.

As you drift off to sleep,

You are filled with a sense of peace.

The sounds of the autumn weather allow you to rest and rejuvenate.

As you drift off to sleep,

You are filled with a sense of trust in the universe and your own path.

You are asleep.

Just as autumn leaves gracefully fall,

So too do my worries and stresses.

My mind and body are like the changing leaves of autumn,

Shedding old habits and making way for new growth.

As the crisp autumn air refreshes and revitalises the earth,

So too does deep sleep.

Just as autumn harvests bring abundance and nourishment,

So too does restful sleep.

Like the autumn sun setting in a warm and peaceful gloam,

My mind and body drift off into a tranquil and restful sleep.

As autumn brings a sense of calm and balance to nature,

So too does sleep bring balance and harmony to my inner world.

Like the autumn breeze gently rustling through the trees,

My breath flows smoothly and easily as I relax into a deep sleep.

Like the changing seasons of autumn,

My body and mind shift and adjust to the natural rhythms of sleep,

Finding peace and balance in the process.

As autumn days grow shorter and cooler,

My thoughts and worries grow quieter and more peaceful as the autumn leaves swirl and dance in the breeze.

My mind and body gently sway and relax as I slip into a restful,

Deep sleep.

As autumn brings a sense of calm and stillness,

Deep sleep brings a sense of calm and stillness to my inner world.

As autumn marks a time of transition and change,

Sleep marks a time of transition and renewal.

Like the autumn trees shedding their leaves,

I release any negative thoughts or emotions,

Clearing the way for a peaceful sleep.

Like the autumn wind blowing through the trees,

My thoughts and worries drift away as I sink into a peaceful sleep.

Just as the autumn leaves gently float to the ground,

So too do my worries and anxieties.

Like the autumn rain washing away dirt and grime,

Sleep washes away any negative energy.

As autumn marks the end of one season and the beginning of another,

Deep sleep marks the end of one day and the beginning of another.
