Get comfortable and start to relax.
Feel the weight of your body on the chair or the bed,
Whatever you're sitting or lying on.
Feel how heavy you feel in this chair or bed.
Feel how supported you are in it.
Take a nice deep breath in.
Hold it for a second.
And then let it out.
Feel the support of the chair or the bed on your body.
Let your fingers relax and your hands relax.
Let your toes and your feet relax.
Feel the relaxation working its way up your arms.
And your legs up your back and into your shoulders.
And just let your shoulders fall a little bit.
Feel the muscles in the back of your neck and your throat relax.
All the little facial muscles just relax.
Keep your eyes softly closed as your eyelids are closed.
As your eyelids feel heavier and heavier.
Feel the crown of your head relax as you think back and prepare for the journey we're going on today.
Now picture yourself in a field at the edge of a forest in the late afternoon.
The sun is shining on your face.
It feels warm like an embrace.
There's a light breeze and the grasses around you are going shhhhh.
As you look around this field,
You turn and enter the forest.
It's a little cooler in here.
You walk through the forest and you can feel the bed of pine needles under your feet.
The breeze is rustling the branches of the pine trees around you.
And it smells a little bit like pine as the breeze walks by you.
Shaps of light from the sun break through the trees as you walk along through this forest.
And you can hear birds chirping in the distance.
You come upon a stream,
A babbling brook.
The water is clear and pure and you can see the pebbles at the bottom.
You stop and watch this stream as it flows by.
Suddenly a cloud shifts and a ray of sunshine comes through and hits the water.
And the stream starts sparkling.
You can feel the beauty of the water sparkling in your heart,
In your chest.
Like a deep energy of love.
As you watch the sparkling stream,
You feel that energy growing in your chest.
Sparkling.
And it spreads into your shoulders and your head,
Down your arms and all through your body.
This clear,
Beautiful,
Sparkling energy of love.
As you stand here feeling this love,
You realize a being has joined you.
A guide.
And this guide is bathed in the same loving energy that you're feeling.
She stands next to you.
Her hands are clasped around something that you can't quite see.
She smiles at you and radiates her energy and holds her hand out.
She opens her hand and you see something that's meant for you.
And you take it from her.
You feel the energy of this object in your hand as you hold it.
You feel it radiating and you feel an absolute knowing that this is for you.
The being next to you smiles.
She's so happy she could give you this gift.
She takes your hand and together you walk along the stream forest,
Feeling the pine needles under your feet.
And seeing the rays of sunshine breaking through the trees.
Suddenly you find that you're emerging from the forest.
There's a clearing and in the middle of the clearing,
A cottage.
The stream continues through the gardens surrounding the cottage.
It's girdling and babbling and reflecting the light off the crystal clear water.
You stop in front of the cottage with the sound of the water and the birds in your ears.
You turn towards the being and she smiles at you again.
She puts her arms on your shoulders and gives you a blessing.
A feeling of gratitude passes between you that she's been able to give you the gift that you gave you.
She turns and goes back into the forest.
You stand in this clearing looking at the cottage and you know that this is where you were meant to be.
You go up to the cottage door and it's unlocked.
You enter it.
And inside this cottage,
In the evening light,
There's a fire crackling in the fireplace.
Beautiful potted plants on the windowsill.
And a comfy couch by the fire next to a big open window overlooking the gardens and the forest.
You sit down on the couch holding the gift that the being gave you.
You hear the crackling of fire,
The smell of wood smoke,
And the beautiful twilight light is coming through the window.
As the birds twitter around preparing for the night.
You feel completely and totally relaxed.
You know that this is where you are meant to be.
Every object that surrounds you is meant for you.
Every object exudes comfort and peace.
This is knowing.
This is rightness.
You feel the energy of this knowing and this rightness in your heart,
In your chest,
In your entire body.
And you feel complete and utter love for where you are.
Enjoy this space.
Be in this space.
You're doing so well.
And now you walk in this feeling of being in a place that's just for you.
That is pure relaxation and comfort.
You remember what it feels like in your body and you know that the gift of being gave you is exactly what you needed.
And that it's yours forever.
It will always be with you whenever you need it.
Now take a nice deep breath in.
Hold at the top and let it out.
It's time for you to come back into the room where you're sitting or lying down.
Just notice the feeling of your body on the chair of the bed where you're lying.
Notice the support underneath you.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
Stretch out your arms and legs.
Gently shake your head from side to side.
When you're ready,
Gently open your eyes and bring your awareness back into the room.
Take a moment to remember the feeling of rightness,
Of peace,
Of love.
Feel the gratitude that you know that you can always recall that feeling.
That it is always with you.
