Take several moments to get settled into your most comfortable position.
Making any adjustments you need to make to your clothing,
Your body position.
Getting things just right for you.
There's no hurry.
This is your time for healing,
So you can afford to be really indulgent about this.
Notice any resistance you might have to taking this time.
And then acknowledge yourself with real gratitude for bringing yourself here today.
Appreciate yourself for this simple act of self-love.
And then when you've found your most comfortable position,
Take a big breath in.
And sigh it away,
Allowing yourself to sink deep into the support of whatever surface you're sitting or lying on.
And again,
Big breath in.
And big sigh out.
Let the breath go.
Let the body go.
One more time,
Breathing in.
And this time when you exhale,
Let go completely.
Let your body go limp and loose like a ragdoll.
And now gradually allow stillness to arrive in the body.
Observing your breath.
As it settles into a natural rhythm.
A gentle rise and fall.
Flows over your body like a wave.
Imagine that gentle,
Easy breath in a wave that starts at the soles of your feet.
And washes effortlessly up through your body to the crown of your head.
Then ebbs back down over the body to your feet again.
And each moment takes you deeper into a relaxed,
Contented state.
You can feel your body softening.
Limbs loosening.
Letting go.
Opening up.
Let your belly be soft,
Allowing the breath to flow with even more ease.
Let the jaw be soft.
Releasing and letting go of any holding there.
And as the jaw and the face soften and open,
Feel that release in the shoulders too.
Let them drop.
And drop again.
Let the neck be loose.
The arms relaxed and heavy,
Resting comfortably by your side.
The palms lightly open.
Let the pelvis and lower back release,
Allowing even more softness in the belly.
Let the legs go.
And be heavy and comfortable.
And come to that gentle breath.
Washing up from the feet.
All the way to the crown of the head.
And back down again to the feet.
Deeply relaxed.
From head to toe.
And now imagine yourself by a path at the edge of a beautiful forest.
A deep,
Intuitive part of you senses that this is no ordinary forest.
And that the path before you leads to somewhere truly special.
Take the first few steps on the path.
And as soon as you enter the lush darkness of the forest,
The outside world melts away and you're surrounded by tall,
Beautiful trees.
Soft breezes whispering through the leaves.
And sunlight dappling down through the canopy.
Lighting the path before you.
And decorating the woodland scene with green jewels of every shade.
You breathe in the rich scent of earth.
Wood,
Moss and leaves.
As you continue on your path,
A deep sense of peace settles within you,
A quietness in your soul.
Perhaps you stand for a moment and simply listen to the sounds of the forest.
You feel safe in here,
Surrounded by trees,
Softness,
Warmth.
The outside world can't reach you.
And it almost feels as if you could stay here forever,
Just wandering peacefully by yourself.
But you're curious by nature.
So you continue to follow the path.
Trusting that wherever it leads is exactly right for you.
After a while.
.
.
The path begins to lighten.
And you begin to see bright sunlight up ahead.
The trees open out onto a large circular clearing.
And as you step into it,
The sunlight beams down on you and you close your eyes against its brightness.
And when you open them again,
You're looking at a beautiful meadow.
Filled with wildflowers.
And tall grasses gently waving in the cool breeze.
The air is filled with an extraordinary magic that ripples around you and through you with a thrill.
This is your special place of healing,
Created by you and meant just for you.
You turn your face to the sky.
Gazing up into the deepest blue.
That seems to stretch on forever.
And you begin to sense the presence of others gathered in the meadow with you.
Looking around.
You see the familiar faces of past versions of yourself at different stages of your life.
All the different ages and iterations of you have gathered here to witness you and be with you in this moment.
Every one of them is beaming smiles.
So happy to see you,
And so full of love and appreciation for you.
For being here.
For showing up for yourself.
For all that you are and all that you're becoming.
And as you look again,
You'll see all the future versions of yourself are here too.
So full of love for you and so proud of you.
For all that you've done.
All that you've learned.
How far you've come.
And how much courage and strength you've shown.
The older versions of you greet the younger versions of you like beloved old friends.
Embracing one another.
Laughing in recognition,
Tears and smiles.
Holding hands in warmth and solidarity.
Take their hands now.
As all of you gather in a great circle.
Close your eyes.
And feel a great wave of love sweeping around the circle.
Rushing through you.
Filling your heart.
Overflowing.
As you send wave after wave of love to every one of your past selves.
Thanking them for what they did to bring you here today.
For all that they experienced.
The winds.
The losses.
The joys.
Heart breaks.
Loving them for all their mistakes.
And hard lessons.
And sending wave after wave of love to your future selves.
For urging you on.
For being here with you now.
Loving you.
Understanding you.
Appreciating you.
Supporting you.
They are your guides.
And they see you for the wonderful person you truly are.
They are who you are becoming with every passing day.
Bask in this feeling for a few moments more,
Knowing that you can come here to reunite with yourself again whenever you like.
And now it's time to leave the past and the future where they belong.
And come back to the present.
Bringing all that love and appreciation back with you.
Begin to become aware of your surroundings,
The room that you're in.
The surface that you're sitting or lying on.
Begin to introduce some gentle movement into your body.
Regarding fingers and toes.
Having a big stretch.
Moving your limbs in a new way,
Feeling lighter,
Freer.
Stretching out.
And now open your eyes,
Feeling refreshed.
Looking at your space as if for the first time.
Seeing everything through the eyes of love.
Have a wonderful day.
