Trusting the Unknown + Enjoying the Ride

Let's begin,

My loves.

So just find a comfortable chair,

Maybe sitting upright.

If you want to lay down,

You can.

And just begin the process of unwinding and relaxing and allow your eyes to softly close and just feeling the support,

The restorative support of the chair below you or the bed settling down,

Winding down,

Arms at your sides or gently on your lap.

Now that you are very comfortable,

I'd like you to become aware of your breathing.

Cool air going in your nostrils and out,

Noticing your chest as it rises and falls,

Rises and falls in an easy and natural rhythm.

Your own perfect and natural rhythm.

Just breathing in and in and out.

And just allow your awareness to focus on your breath.

Now I'd like you to take three deep breaths.

One,

Breathe deeply and exhale.

Two,

Another deep breath and exhale.

And three,

Deep breath,

Hold it for three seconds.

And now just allow your awareness to remain focused on your breath as you allow it to quiet and deepen,

Deeper and deeper.

Maybe begin to notice that as you allow your breath to become more and more relaxed,

That it is an easy and natural thing.

You don't need to make any conscious effort to breathe.

Your marvelous subconscious mind is taking care of your breathing from the moment of your birth throughout your life for as long as you live.

Knowing this,

You can relax even more deeply with each and every breath that you take.

From this point onward,

You can allow yourself to simply rest on your breath.

Rest and relax.

Deeper and deeper.

Knowing that the more you relax,

The deeper you go.

And the deeper you go,

The more you can relax.

Allowing your subconscious mind with all its awesome power to work on your behalf,

To easily and effortlessly understand and receive every positive suggestion and allow it to become a part of you for as long as it is of use.

Now imagine that you are walking along a path in nature.

With each step,

You continue to relax and let go.

You are surrounded by the wonderful smells and colors and textures of this peaceful place.

It is a beautiful day.

The air is clean and fresh.

It's the perfect temperature.

Feel your footsteps walking along the path as you take in the beauty that surrounds you.

This path leads you to a special place near a stream,

A place from your past,

Or a place you've always wanted to go.

A place where you are safe and able to be yourself.

This place is a sanctuary of beauty and calm.

Allow all of your senses to discover the wonder of it.

Notice the colors of the foliage and the light coming through the trees,

The sound of the moving water,

And what it feels like to be in this place here and now.

You are in a place where you are at peace with yourself and the world.

Walk along the bank of the creek and notice the ground.

Maybe there is sand,

Or rocks,

Or leaves.

And now just ahead you notice a small rowboat tied up.

As you approach it,

You see that it's empty and well kept and so inviting.

Though it's unusual for you,

There is something about this boat that beckons to you and feels so safe,

Even electric.

You get the sense that this boat was left here just for you and is filled with magic that is meant to show you something.

So you carefully climb inside.

You untie the boat,

And rather than picking up the two oars to steer,

You feel to let the gentle current begin to drift your boat downstream and away at just the right pace.

As you relax in this boat and drift,

You feel more and more at peace.

As you move and take in the scenery,

You feel supported by the beauty,

Calmness,

And safety of this place.

Feeling clear that your boat has a direction without you needing to control or steer it.

It is floating you downstream.

And as your boat moves you forward,

Without you knowing where it's going or how it's being carried,

You see a fork in the waterway up ahead,

And you're not sure how,

But you have this inner knowing that,

To the left is everything you've known or experienced before,

And to the right is something different,

Unknown.

While it feels like a big decision,

You feel totally calm.

And this calm makes it easy for you to hear an inner voice,

Your intuition.

Without necessarily saying the words you feel her desire in this moment,

You easily intuit that she wants to go right.

You pick up the oars,

And with minimal effort,

In a sense of wonder and joy,

You steer your little rowboat to the right,

And the current easily glides it in the direction you desire.

You're nervous but excited.

You just have this feeling that this is meant for you.

Something in the air now feels special.

The colors are brighter,

The birds sing more beautifully,

You feel so calm,

So excited.

Everything about this path fills you to the brim with optimism.

Optimism that you were chosen for this ride in this boat,

And it is being guided and supported by a force you can't quite explain.

And still everything you're experiencing feels like it is not just for you,

But by you,

Like you hoped it to happen,

And it did.

You chose this magical experience,

And everything about it has felt easy and empowering.

Believing this on a cellular level,

You break into a playful smile,

And maybe even laugh out loud as the current floats your boat downstream.

You feel overjoyed with the understanding that it gets to be this fun for you.

As you continue to float with ease,

You feel something relax and release within you that's been held tight for so long.

The burdens you carry,

The hardships you've endured,

The disappointments and responsibilities,

All the stress and pressure you've bottled up inside for so long,

Suddenly releases here on this exhilarating ride.

These tensions and worries within you,

They begin to relax and soften,

Like you can see them just melting out of your body and seeping into the water,

Relaxing,

Releasing,

Freeing you,

Leaving you feeling light,

Clear,

And happy,

Even happier as you continue to float downstream in a state of pure bliss.

Now you feel this inner sense that it gets to be so much easier than you ever imagined.

When you allow the current of life to carry you,

Purifying your energetic field,

And collaborating with your intuition in the ease of this energizing and sustainable collaborative,

There is pleasure in the ride,

Palpable feeling that this ride is the success you've been aiming for.

It feels more like you,

All of you,

The essence of you.

You see another fork in the waterway up ahead,

And now you don't feel nervous at all,

You feel deeply trusting in the path you choose.

You calmly listen within and make the move.

And it feels so satisfying,

So natural,

Like you could ride this current forever,

Easily,

Joyfully floating downstream.

You allow the sensation of trusting joy and pleasure to radiate out of you in ripples,

Extending beyond your body,

Beyond the boat,

Beyond this peaceful place in nature,

And cascading into everything and everyone far beyond,

Basking everything and everyone you care about in this frequency of pure positivity,

Of joyful optimism.

It feels so good as you feel the pride in yourself for being exactly where you are,

In this exact moment in time.

You feel so proud of yourself for being in a place you never ever could have anticipated.

You experience the overwhelming sense that everything is going to be okay.

Not just okay,

But better than you ever could have imagined with just your conscious mind.

You feel empowered and enthusiastic about the direction your boat and your life is going,

And the knowing now that your subconscious mind and inner wisdom are conspiring on your behalf without you even having to do anything.

It's so easy.

You feel hopeful about your life,

Your future,

And you are absolutely certain that you possess what it takes to create a happy,

Fulfilling,

Successful future.

You are confident in yourself to steer your life in the direction of your desires.

This boat ride has given you the gift of a different perspective.

Joy has become your default,

And this allows you to feel hopeful and happy about every fork in the waterway of your life.

You feel in your soul and all your senses,

Here in this boat,

That you always have a direction even when you can't see around the next bend or the next fork in the road.

You feel relieved in the understanding that it can be as easy as staying calm,

Listening to your intuition,

And choosing from this inner state.

When you come back,

You'll feel ready to move through your day with peace and calm,

And a greater awareness of your inner wisdom.

You'll have the distinct understanding that everything you seek is within you.

You get to choose how you experience your life.

It's all you.

You trust yourself to navigate challenges with a clear,

Calm,

And optimistic mind,

No matter what circumstances present themselves outside of you.

Even when the path is windy,

You know you are never alone.

You are guided by the current of life that wants to help you float downstream,

And your intuition,

An all-knowing,

Inner compass,

Powerful directional tool that reminds you that your peace is in the pause,

And that joy is always available.

It's time to come back to the present now,

So you can simply count yourself awake from 1 to 10,

And then open your eyes,

Feeling expansive and wonderful in every way,

Knowing that from now on,

Things can be different with this new perspective.

So go ahead and start on your own,

Starting with 1 right now.
