Begin by finding a comfortable position,
Sitting or lying down,
Let your body be fully supported.
Now close your eyes softly,
Or simply let your gaze rest gently.
Take a deep breath in,
And then exhale slowly,
Letting all tension melt away,
And again,
Inhale,
And then exhale fully.
Allow yourself to arrive here,
Exactly as you are.
Feel the subtle warmth of your own presence enveloping you,
Like a lover's whisper against your skin.
Surrender to this moment,
Where nothing is demanded,
Only gentle invitation awaits.
Let your breath become a caress,
Soft and rhythmic,
Drawing you deeper into yourself.
Imagine a warm golden light above you,
Soft,
Tender,
And enveloping.
With each inhale,
It spills over you,
Wrapping you in a gentle warmth.
With each exhale,
It releases worry,
Tension,
Or self-judgement.
Feel yourself being held,
Safe,
Seen,
Cherished.
No need to do anything but be,
Fully present,
Fully cared for.
Sense this light as a tender embrace,
Its glow kissing your skin like the first rays of dawn.
Allow it to seep into your pores,
Awakening a quiet thrill of being truly alive and adored.
Whisper gently to yourself in silence,
I am worthy of this softness,
This intimate sanctuary.
And let the light trace invisible paths along your body,
Igniting sparks of gentle desire for self-love.
Bring attention to the crown of your head,
Allow it to soften.
Notice your forehead,
Your eyes,
Your cheeks and your jaw,
All relaxing.
Let your lips part slightly,
Release any tension.
Imagine a feather-like kiss upon your brow,
Easing away the day's burdens.
Feel the subtle curve of your lips,
Inviting a smile born of inner peace and subtle sensuality.
Allow that relaxation to move down through your neck and your shoulders,
Allow them to drop,
Letting go of any weight that you carry.
Sense the arch of your neck,
Yielding to a tender release.
Follow that feeling down your arms,
All the way to your hands and fingers.
Feel their warmth,
Their weight and their presence.
Notice now your fingers tingling with life,
As your body awakens to the possibility of a self-caress.
Notice the softness of your palms,
Cradles of your own compassion and your own hidden desires.
Shift your awareness to your chest,
To your torso,
To your stomach.
Notice the rise and the fall of your breath,
The rhythm of life moving through you.
Feel the gentle swell of your chest,
A sanctuary of heartbeat and breath,
Pulsing with quiet passion.
Let your belly soften,
Inviting a wave of warmth that stirs like a secret tender flame.
Bring attention to your hips,
Your legs and your feet.
Feel grounded,
Fully supported by the surface beneath you.
Sense the curve of your hips,
A gateway to deeper embodiment,
Yielding to earth's embrace.
Allow your legs to fully relax,
Feeling the length of them as pathways of subtle energy and grace.
Ground into your feet,
Anchors of stability,
Yet alive with the thrill of being fully here.
Now bring one hand softly to your heart,
Feel the warmth of your touch.
Notice your heartbeat beneath your palm,
You are being held by yourself.
Let this touch deepen,
Like a lover's hand resting on your pulsing core.
Bring the other hand to your belly,
Just above your navel.
Feel the gentle rise and fall of each breath,
Sensing life moving within you.
Allow your fingers to linger,
Tracing the soft contours of your skin with reverence.
And if it feels right,
Trace soft circles with your fingertips,
Slowly,
Tenderly.
There's no goal,
There's no rush,
Simply presence,
Simply touch,
Simply being.
Let this caress evoke a shiver of delight,
Tender,
Almost forbidden in its sweetness.
Explore further,
If invited,
Over your thighs,
Or your collarbone,
Or your cheekbones.
Honour every curve,
Feel the tender connection with yourself,
Held,
Safe,
Nurtured.
Surrender to this self-embrace,
Where boundaries soften,
Desire blooms like a midnight flower.
Notice any warmth spreading,
An arousal of the soul,
Pure,
Unhurried.
Imagine each exhale carrying away tension,
Stress,
Fatigue,
And with every inhale,
Drawing warmth,
Softness,
Safety.
Feel your body melting into bliss,
Each and every muscle sighing with relief.
Visualise a delicate rose-tinted glow expanding from your heart,
Filling your chest,
Your arms,
Your torsos and legs with this gentle light.
Let this glow pulse like a lover's breath,
Sinking with your own,
Intimate and alive.
Allow it to dissolve any lingering shadows,
Replacing them with waves of calm.
Allow your nervous system to know it is safe,
Fully safe,
To soften,
To rest,
To be.
Embrace this surrender,
Where safety meets the edge of ecstasy in quiet harmony.
Feel the subtle thrill of release,
As if your body is blooming under its own tender gaze.
Silently,
Or in your mind,
Repeat after me.
I am safe.
I am worthy of tenderness.
I am fully present in my body.
I honour myself with gentle care.
My own touch awakens the beauty within me.
I embrace my desires with loving kindness.
I am a vessel of soft and sacred pleasure.
Feel these affirmations weave into your essence,
Tender threads of self-love and kindness.
Now begin to deepen your breath,
Feeling life moving through you.
Gently wiggle your fingers and toes,
Awakening your body.
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes slowly,
Noticing the space around you.
Carry this sense of safety,
Embodiment and tenderness with you,
Always held,
Cherished and safe.
Remember the whisper of your own touch,
A promise of ongoing intimacy with yourself.
Let this glow linger throughout your day,
A secret tenderness that blooms in quiet moments.
Moments reserved just for you.
