Hello,
Buenos dias,
Buenas tardes,
Good morning,
Good afternoon
from the lush tropical paradise that is Costa Rica.
Begin by finding a comfortable seat in the midst of this tropical paradise.
See yourself surrounded by the greenest,
Lushest spaces that your eyes have ever seen.
Feel the soft,
Warm sand beneath you,
Grounding you to the earth,
Feeling Pachamama in her warmth.
Close your eyes and invite the sounds of jesty,
Rustling palm leaves
and distant waves envelop you in a cocoon of tranquility.
Let's take a deep inhalation through the nose and a gentle sigh through the mouth.
And let the sound of the waves be a little louder,
Perhaps even synchronizing with the rhythm of your breath.
Let's take a deep inhale,
Drawing in the crisp,
Invigorating ocean breeze.
And as you exhale,
Release any tension or worries,
Letting them dissolve into the tropical air.
Allow the natural symphony of your surroundings to guide you into a state of serenity.
Picture the turquoise waters stretching out before you,
Reflecting the vibrant hues of the morning sky.
And with each breath,
Sense the ebb and flow of the tide,
Mirroring the rhythm of your own breath and the natural cycles of life.
Feel the foam of the breaking wave touching your skin,
From the toes all the way up to the crown of your head.
What is the temperature of the water that is touching you?
What does this soft breeze from the ocean feel like on your skin?
Now imagine your body as a lush tropical garden,
Each part a unique bloom.
Contributing to the tapestry of your being,
To the ecosystem that makes up who you are.
And visualize vibrant flowers representing your strengths,
And verdant foliage symbolizing your growth and your potential.
Let the warm rays of the tropical sun penetrate your being.
And as the sunlight is bathing you,
Start to feel it illuminating the shadows within you,
Bringing acceptance to every part of yourself.
Embrace the warm of self-love expanding with each breath you take.
Let the sun shine a little brighter in the spaces that you usually hide,
Or spaces that you usually hide from others.
Let these spaces feel love and acceptance.
And let the light,
Let the warmth,
Shine for a little longer there if you need it.
Envision colorful butterflies dancing around you,
Representing the transformation and beauty found in every aspect of your existence.
With each flutter,
Let go of self-doubt and criticism,
Allowing the lightness of self-acceptance to emerge.
Is there a particular space where this butterfly is landing on your body?
Is this a space that you need to bring awareness and acceptance?
Or are they all moving around you as if they were dancing and celebrating you?
And now as you turn your awareness inwardly,
Sense the harmony between your heartbeat and the gentle rustle of the palm front
and the soft,
Soft sound of the waves.
Recognize that like the rhythm of the waves,
Your essence is harmonious,
A symphony of experience,
Emotions,
And aspirations.
Perhaps moving at a very different rhythm than the humans that are in your life
and knowing that it's okay,
Not knowing that it's perfect.
Now take a moment to express gratitude for the tropical paradise that is surrounding you
and for the unique mosaic of yourself.
With each breath,
Affirm your worthiness of love and fulfillment
in this magnificent journey that you call life.
And when you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
And as your eyelids begin to move,
Feel this tropical serenity within you.
And as you step into your day or your night,
Let the morning or evening embrace linger
and move forward with the confidence of someone
that is so deeply connected to the beauty around it and within
that it shines unapologetically from you.
Sending love and pura vida from this warm space.
Namaste.
