Take a comfortable seat,
Close your eyes,
Take a few deep breaths,
Breathing in,
Breathing in,
Breathing in,
Breathing out,
Breathing in,
Breathing out.
Come back to your normal breathing.
Imagine you are watching the waves,
How they roll onto the shore,
The foam,
The sound.
Look at your thoughts when they come up like waves.
Just observe them,
How they roll onto the shore.
Can you let them pass by?
Can you just sit there and watch them?
Now imagine you get up and walk along the shoreline.
You are looking for seashells in the sand.
You pick one up.
You notice how it feels like in your hand.
You see the beautiful and colorful lines and patterns.
Then you put the shell back and watch how the waves roll over it.
You can see how the shell is rolling with the waves.
But you stand firm with your feet on the ground.
The waves wash around your legs.
It is as if time stands still.
You are just standing there,
Breathing in the fresh salty air,
Listening to the waves.
Waves of gratitude flow from your heart into your body.
Gratitude for being alive,
For experiencing this moment by the ocean.
You can listen to a gentle voice that is asking you,
What brings you joy?
What would you love to do?
Where can you feel free and alive?
What can you do to bring these feelings into your day?
Notice what comes up for you.
How it feels like in your body.
Your thoughts,
Pictures,
Ideas.
Just observe them.
You come gently back,
Walk away from the waves.
And when you are ready,
You can open your eyes.
