Find a position that feels supportive.
Let your body choose what feels most comfortable to you.
Close your eyes or let your gaze rest softly.
Before we move into the breath,
Simply bring your awareness to your body.
Notice where you might be holding on to something.
You may feel a tightness or a heaviness.
Just notice where that feeling lives in your body.
Observe the sensation and the emotion that might be resting beneath it.
Allow it to be exactly as it is.
Now we invite the breath to move through your body.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in through your nose.
Follow the cool air as it travels down to your chest and your abdomen.
Hold it for a brief moment.
Now exhale slowly through your mouth.
Imagine the breath leaving your body and taking a layer of that tension with it.
Take another deep breath.
Follow the path of the air as it weaves down your spine and expands your ribs.
As you exhale,
Let your shoulders drop.
Feel yourself settling deeper into the surface beneath you.
Take one more deep breath.
Fill your lungs completely,
Feeling the life in your body.
As you let this breath go,
Feel the stillness of the room.
With your body settled,
Imagine you are resting in a place of perfect peace.
This might be a soft meadow or a quiet,
Safe room.
As you rest here,
Bring your awareness to the earth beneath you.
Imagine a soft,
Silver light rising up from the ground.
This light represents the steady,
Unwavering support of the earth.
Feel it travel into your feet,
Your legs,
And the base of your spine.
It is a cool,
Stabilizing energy that holds you up without you ever having to ask.
Now bring your awareness to the space above your head.
A soft,
Golden light begins to descend toward you.
This light carries a feeling of total,
Unconditional love.
As the gold light touches your crown,
You feel a deep sense of being home.
Watch as the silver light from below and the golden light from above meet in the center of your chest,
Right at your heart.
Focus all of your attention on your heart.
See these two lights blending into a warm,
Radiant glow.
We will stay here with this feeling for a full minute.
With every breath in,
Imagine the glow in your heart getting brighter.
Feel the warmth spreading across your chest.
With every breath out,
Let that warmth soften any walls you have built around your heart.
Continue to breathe into this space.
Feel the message of the light.
You are loved.
You are cherished.
You are exactly where you are meant to be.
Notice how the silver light keeps you grounded and safe,
While the golden light makes you feel light and cherished.
Let this warm glow expand.
Watch it move into your shoulders,
Down your arms,
And into your fingertips.
Let it move down through your abdomen and all the way to your toes.
You are completely filled with this unconditional love.
To keep this feeling with you,
Choose a physical anchor.
You might gently press your fingers together or place a hand over your heart.
Feel that physical touch.
Remind your body that this love and stillness are a part of you.
Take a moment to check back in with the area where you felt tension earlier.
Notice if the sensation or the emotion has shifted.
Even a tiny softening is enough.
As you prepare to return to your day,
Remember that this light is always here.
If you feel yourself becoming lonely or overwhelmed,
You can return to your heart.
Take just a minute or two to find your breath,
Use your anchor,
And come back to the gold and silver light.
When you are ready,
Gently wiggle your fingers and toes and open your eyes.
