Invite your body to settle,
And your mind to calm,
And find your breath.
Breathe in and out.
Breathing a little deeper with every inhale,
And a little longer with every exhale.
Surrender to the rhythm of your breathing,
Easing into its natural cycle,
Letting it relax you and calm you.
Now see if you can imagine that you are in a secluded oasis,
A lush green sanctuary surrounded by gently flowing streams and towering palm trees swaying in a warm breeze.
The air is fresh and clean,
Lightly scented with the sweet fragrance of tropical flowers.
You can feel the warmth of the sun's radiant rays cascading down upon you,
Soothing your muscles and melting away any tension or stress you may be holding.
You make your way over to a large,
Cushioned lounge chair,
And ease yourself down onto the plush surface,
Sinking into the soft material,
And as you get comfortable,
You notice a small waterfall nearby,
The soothing trickle of the running water creating a tranquil ambient soundtrack.
Close your eyes and focus on the sound,
Allowing it to wash over you in calming,
Rhythmic waves.
Now feel the sensation of the warm sun on your skin,
Bask in the radiant heat allowing the light to penetrate into you,
Recharging your mind and body,
And sense the solar energy revitalizing you,
Filling you with a profound sense of peace and serenity.
You are safe here in this sanctuary,
Free from worry or fear.
A gentle breeze skims across your face,
Carrying the intoxicating floral scents of lush blossoms surrounding the oasis.
Breathe in their calming aromas and envision their vibrant colors of deep reds,
Rich purples,
And sunny yellows.
Their beauty and fragrance are for your enjoyment in this special oasis.
Sink deeper into the cushions of the chair,
Relishing the comfort and support cradling your body,
Feel the muscles in your face grow smooth,
Your jaw releasing any lingering tension you've been unconsciously carrying,
And then scan your body for any other areas of tightness and breathe deeply into those spaces,
Allowing them to let go and soften.
You are at total peace here in this oasis.
You can see roots beginning to spread out from you,
Grounding you to this nurturing place.
You are strong,
Secure,
And centered,
And all of the sounds,
Sights,
And sensations of this beautiful oasis saturate you,
Restoring your balance and clarity of mind.
Breathe deeper now,
Letting your breath surrender you even further into the calm of the oasis.
You are a part of it,
And it is a part of you.
Namaste,
Beautiful.
