Let yourself slowly settle into stillness.
For this moment,
There's nothing more important and deserving of your attention than your current comfort and presence.
Take a full,
Deep breath in through your nose and softly exhale through your mouth.
As you exhale,
Let go of everything outside of this time and space.
A full,
Deep breath in and a slow,
Steady breath out.
Gently begin to guide your awareness toward the soles of your feet and feel a warmth blooming here.
A gentle heat softening and tending to this part of the body that so often grounds us and carries us through our lives.
Imagine your feet growing warm and heavy and then feel that comfortable warmth move up your ankles.
To your calves,
Knees,
Upper legs,
And hips.
Feel both legs from your hips to the soles of your feet growing warm and heavy and comfortable.
Both legs grounded and supported.
Then let this sense of warmth move into your belly,
Feeling it expanding and softening with your breath.
Feel your breath expand through your ribcage and feel soft warmth pooling around your heart space.
Feel the whole back of your body warm and heavy.
Soften through your shoulders,
Feel warmth moving through your arms,
Your wrists,
And feel the palms of your hands and all 10 fingers soft and open,
Ready to receive.
Feel the whole trunk of your body grounded and supported.
And feel warmth gently loosening the muscles in your neck,
Your jaw,
And all the muscles of your face.
Feel your whole body soft,
Warm,
And grounded.
And quietly say to yourself,
I am safe.
I am grounded.
Notice the calm,
Steady rhythm of your breath.
And as you breathe,
Begin to welcome supportive,
Soothing energy into your body.
You might visualize this energy as a color or a soft glow.
See it moving through your body,
Gently tending to any part of you that needs a little bit of nourishment and love.
Floating into any spaces that feel tight.
Flowing into any space where you would like support.
Trust this energy to move where it's needed.
And even to let it slowly carry away anything that you're ready to let go of.
Feel your consciousness becoming a little bit lighter now.
And let your mind soften,
Open,
And expand.
Sense the spaciousness that exists here.
Your infinite,
Limitless capacity to dream.
And let yourself dream.
You don't have to have any answers,
Any plan.
You don't have to figure anything out.
Let your intuition guide you toward an idea,
Or a feeling,
Or a quiet,
Hopeful spark.
Let yourself dream.
Now take a full,
Deep breath.
And let it guide you back to the present.
Gently notice and acknowledge any thoughts or feelings that have risen.
Begin to notice the feeling of the space around you.
The steadiness of the ground beneath.
Notice any sounds you can hear.
Feel the warmth of your body and your breath.
And when it feels right,
Begin to wiggle.
Wiggle to gently stretch.
And eventually to open your eyes.
