Find a comfortable position,
Either sitting or lying down.
Close your eyes and take a few deep,
Calming breaths.
Inhale through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth.
Allow each breath to guide you into a state of deep relaxation.
Imagine yourself in a serene garden surrounded by vibrant flowers and the gentle sound of a bubbling stream.
Feel the soft grass beneath your feet and the warm sun on your skin.
As you inhale the fragrant garden air,
Feel a sense of calmness spreading through your entire body.
Be in this garden for a moment,
Breathing in the calm and exhaling all the stress and tension.
And while you're here,
I'm going to count from 1 to 20,
And at the count of 20,
You will be in a deep,
Relaxed state.
1,
Feeling good,
2,
3,
Completely relaxed,
Completely at ease,
4,
5,
Feeling good,
Feeling relaxed,
6,
7,
8,
9,
Halfway there,
11,
12,
Deeper and deeper into relaxation,
13,
14,
Deeper and deeper,
15,
16,
Completely relaxed,
Completely at ease,
17,
18,
19,
And 20.
You are now in a deep state of relaxation.
I want you to begin by bringing your attention to your emotional state.
Without judgment,
Observe any and all emotions that may be present.
Visualize these emotions as colors or sensations within your body.
As you become aware of each emotion,
Imagine that you can breathe into it,
Creating space and allowing it to flow more freely.
Embrace your emotions with curiosity and self-compassion.
Now,
I want you to visualize a ball of energy in your core,
Representing your emotional state.
See this energy becoming more balanced and harmonious with each breath that you take.
As you inhale,
Imagine cool,
Soothing energy entering your body.
And as you exhale,
Visualize warm,
Calming energy spreading throughout your entire being.
Feel your emotional energy become centered and stable.
Now,
Choose an emotion that you would like to transform or regulate.
Visualize this emotion as a cloud in the sky.
See that cloud gradually changing color and shape.
As the cloud transforms,
Feel the emotion shifting within you.
Imagine it becoming more manageable and less intense.
Experience a sense of control and empowerment as you guide your emotions toward a state of balance.
