Today I'm going to take you on a visit to your higher self.
You may think of this person as an older,
Wiser version of yourself.
You can think of them as a personification of your own innate wisdom.
Someone who takes care of you and helps you or gives advice to you whenever you need them.
I would like you to get comfortable.
You can either be sitting up or lying down as long as you can remain quiet for some time.
Close your eyes and keep them closed if you can.
Now let's take three slow,
Relaxing breaths together to begin.
Take a long,
Slow breath in and out again.
Another deep breath in and out again.
Let's do that one more time.
Slow breath in and out again.
Imagine that you are standing in front of a very tall,
Majestic tree.
The tree is taller than a house and when you go closer to the tree,
You see that there is a door in the side of it just big enough for you to go through it.
You reach out and push the door open.
There is a winding spiral staircase going up inside the tall tree.
The staircase is lit in a soft glow and looks very welcoming.
Let's see where these stairs go.
You take the first step and another step.
One step at a time,
You are moving up the stairs.
Another step up and another step up.
Higher and higher you go into the strong,
Welcoming tree.
Another step and another.
In the distance,
You can see the light getting brighter.
At the top of the staircase,
You find a cozy,
Round room.
Tiny lights shimmer all around you.
On the floor,
There is a soft rug and a heap of soft pillows.
You sit down and make yourself comfortable.
You spend some time looking at all the pretty lights lighting up the room around you.
You enjoy stroking the soft rug under you and the feeling of sinking into the soft,
Squishy pillows.
Then you think how wonderful it would be if you could have someone to talk to in this cozy,
Welcoming space.
You look around you one more time and then you realise that you are not alone.
Sitting next to you is a mysterious figure wearing a velvet cloak.
You feel completely comfortable in the presence of this person as you know instinctively that they wish only the best for you.
Hello and welcome to this magical tree.
You realise that you are not hearing the words with your ears but rather with your mind.
It is as if you can hear the thoughts of the person sitting next to you.
Can you hear my thoughts?
You think quietly without speaking the words out loud.
Yes,
I can,
You hear the answer.
And I would love it so much if you would tell me something about yourself.
It can be anything,
Something that happened to you today or something that bothers you or even something that makes you happy.
Take a few moments to think about what you would like to tell this warm-hearted person through your thoughts.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with me.
Now I would like to invite you to ask me a question.
You can ask me anything.
Perhaps there is something you would like to know or perhaps you need something.
Ask whatever you like.
Now spend a few quiet moments thinking about what you would like to ask the kind and wise person who is sitting with you.
It has made me very happy that you've come to visit me.
I love hearing your thoughts and finding out about the things you need and want to know.
Now I would like to offer you a gift but I want you to promise me that you will only open your gift when you've left the tree just before you are ready to go home.
The cloaked figure hands you a small box wrapped in tissue paper and ribbons.
You take the little box and put it in your pocket.
You stay a while longer in this room inside the magical old tree.
You enjoy the presence of the wise person sitting next to you.
As further thoughts or questions come up for you,
You hear the answers spoken into your mind.
After some time,
You start to get a bit curious to know what is inside the tiny box in your pocket.
You receive a warm loving hug.
It's alright if you would like to leave now but remember that you are welcome to come and visit with me again whenever you wish.
You slowly get up and walk over to the staircase.
Now you head back down the staircase.
You take the first step down and another step.
One step at a time you are moving down the stairs.
Another step down and another step down.
Downwards you go towards the door in the tree where you started.
Another step towards the bottom and another.
In the distance you can see the door where you first entered the tree.
You walk out through the door and find yourself standing outside the tall majestic tree once again.
Your hand reaches for the little box in your pocket.
You slowly pull at the ribbons around the box and then it is open in the palm of your hand.
What is inside?
What is the special gift that you have been given?
Perhaps it is the answer to the question you asked.
Perhaps it is a beautiful thought or reassurance or best wishes for something that you need to do.
Remember that your wiser higher self always knows exactly what you need.
Let's spend a few quiet moments together so that you can think about the gift you received from your higher self.
Open your heart to feel the magic of the gift that has been given just to you.
It can help us a lot to visit our higher self often and to think about what we would like to tell or ask them.
Thinking about these things helps us to better know what is in our own hearts.
Let's take three last slow breaths together before you take your gift with you into the world.
Take a slow breath in and out again.
Another slow breath in and out again.
Let's do that one more time.
Slow breath in and out again.
Keep your eyes closed and start to move your fingers and your toes.
When you open your eyes you will be back where you were when we started,
Feeling safe and calm and relaxed.
One two three.
You can open your eyes now.
Remember that you can visit your higher self in the magical tree whenever you like.
