Welcome to this calming journey designed to ease stress and release anxiety.
Begin by settling into a comfortable position,
Whether you're seated or lying down,
Allow your body to relax into the surface beneath you,
Close your eyes softly and take a long deep breath in through your nose,
Feel your lungs fill with fresh air,
Hold it for a moment then release it gently through your mouth,
Letting go of any tension you may be holding on to,
Now let's focus on your breathing,
Inhale deeply and slowly,
As you exhale imagine all your stress and worries leaving your body,
With every breath you are releasing what no longer serves you,
Continue breathing slowly,
Slowly,
Deeply at your own pace,
Allowing your breath to be smooth and natural,
Let's bring awareness to your body,
Starting at the top of your head,
Imagine a soft warm light,
Like sunlight,
Gently touching your scalp,
This light is filled with peace and as it moves down it relaxes each part of your body,
Feel it flow over your forehead,
Smoothing away any tension,
Your jaw relaxes and your entire face softens,
Let the warm light continue down your neck and shoulders,
Imagine the stress melting away like ice turning to water,
Flowing out and disappearing,
Let the warm light move down your arms,
Into your hands and fingers,
Feel your arms becoming lighter,
Completely relaxed,
As the light moves across your chest and heart,
Feel a sense of openness and ease,
Your breathing becomes lower,
Deeper,
More peaceful,
Focus now on your heart,
Place your hand over your heart and feel its gentle rhythm,
Each beat reminds you that you are safe,
Alive and present,
Breathe deeply into the space of your heart,
Allowing it to fill with gratitude and calm,
With each exhale silently say to yourself,
I release all that I cannot control,
I trust in the process of life,
Let your attention shift to your stomach,
Where you may carry some hidden tension,
As the light moves down to this area,
Allow it to soften,
Letting go of any knots or tightness,
You deserve to feel at ease,
Now let the warm,
Calming light flow into your legs,
Down through your thighs,
Your knees,
Your calves,
All the way to your feet,
Imagine every cell of your body bathed in the peaceful light,
Glowing with calm,
You feel a deep sense of relaxation from head to toe,
As you continue breathing,
Visualize yourself standing at the edge of a beautiful ocean,
The sky is clear and the air smells fresh,
The gentle waves roll in and out,
Calming your mind,
With every inhale,
Imagine the cool breeze filling your lungs with calm,
With every exhale,
Picture your worries washing away with the tide,
The ocean carries them far away,
And you are left with nothing but peace,
Take a moment to enjoy this feeling of stillness,
In this moment,
You are safe,
You are calm,
You are free,
As we prepare to return from this journey,
As we prepare to return from this journey,
Take a deep breath in,
And a long,
Slow breath out,
Begin to wiggle your fingers and toes,
Gently bringing movement back into your body,
Gently bringing movement back into your body,
When you are ready,
Open your eyes,
Feeling lighter,
More grounded,
And refreshed,
Remember,
You can return to this place of calm anytime you need it,
Peace is always within you.
