Welcome.
In today's healing session,
We will spend some time on a beautiful white sand beach called Boracay in the Philippines.
This is my absolute favorite beach in the world.
So go ahead and settle yourself into a comfortable position.
You can be sitting up or laying down in your comfy bed.
Just take time to find a space that feels comfortable for how your body feels today.
And once you have settled in,
Gently close your eyes.
Let's take a couple of deep relaxing breaths,
Breathing in through the nose and breathing out through the mouth,
Allowing all your muscles to become soft and loose.
So breathing deeply in through the nose and releasing the breath out slowly and gently,
Allowing your body to relax into your space,
Completely letting go.
And one last time,
Taking a long deep breath in and releasing slowly and gently,
Becoming more and more relaxed with every breath you take.
Feel your body giving up all the tension,
All the stress of the day,
Becoming fully relaxed and prepared to let go of the day,
Enjoying this moment of calm and peaceful breathing.
Feel the relaxation course through your body as if it were a wave flowing up and down,
Exactly like the waves of the ocean.
The relaxation flows from the tip of your toes through your feet and your lower legs.
It flows through your knees,
Your thighs and your pelvis.
It's flowing all the way through your belly,
Your chest,
Your shoulders and your arms.
You're relaxing your hands,
Your fingers and your palms.
The relaxation continues to flow through your neck and into your face,
Relaxing every muscle here.
Feel the back of your head totally relaxed,
Breathing slowly and gently,
Welcoming relaxation with every inhale and releasing tension with every exhale.
And now,
As you allow the breath to settle naturally,
Imagine yourself standing on a white sand beach.
The sand under your feet is very warm and it is as soft as velvet.
The waves of the turquoise ocean in front of you are making a gentle whooshing sound.
It reminds you of your breath coming and going.
You see the beach is surrounded by a tropical forest and as you tune into the sounds around you,
You can hear the serene chirping of the exotic bird,
The emerald dove,
One of the most beautiful exotic birds you'll find here on the island.
You also notice the leaves on the palm trees are swaying gently with the ocean breeze.
They are making a soothing rustling sound and you can hear crickets and tropical frogs just enjoying their life in this beautiful forest.
And as you continue to observe your beautiful surroundings,
Notice the different greens of nature around you.
Notice the beauty in the way that each leaf gently reflects the sunlight.
The sun is gently warming your skin.
It is relaxing you deeper.
Feel the warmth spread through your body.
Go ahead,
Allow yourself to invite the warmth into your body and your mind knowing there's nothing else to do,
Nowhere else to go.
All you have to do is relax.
You look at the ocean in front of you.
The ocean water is shallow from a distance.
Then far out along the horizon,
The color of the ocean changes to a rich sapphire blue.
You look up at the sky above and see a couple of white fluffy clouds passing by.
Clouds are small and faint and they move slowly across the sky carried by this gentle breeze that feels so refreshing.
As you look to your right,
You notice giant rocks that soar into tall caves along the edge of the water.
And as you walk towards these caves,
You feel the sand moving under each step.
Tiny little grains massaging your feet ever so gently.
And as you find yourself next to the caves,
You step into a shadow and you immediately notice the change of temperature here.
It feels cool and refreshing.
There's a large opening in the rocks and the entrance looks very welcoming.
As you go inside the cave,
You can hear the ocean waves being amplified as they bounce off the rock walls.
This cave is so magnificent.
You stand here for a few moments just listening to the sounds of the waves crashing against the rocks.
You can hear trickling water nearby,
So you decide to follow it to find its source.
And you notice fresh water is springing from the rocks along the interior wall of the cave.
The water is making a soothing trickling sound,
Relaxing you even deeper.
Even deeper.
And although there is no sunlight here,
The stream seems to glow.
It's glowing naturally.
It shimmers gently as it flows.
Here you decide to cup your hands and gather some of this magical water,
Bringing it to your lips for a refreshing drink.
As the water flows down your throat,
You feel rejuvenated and nourished.
It is the purest and most refreshing water you have ever tasted.
And you release a relaxing sigh.
Ah,
Feeling good,
Feeling hydrated.
Once in a while,
A few birds fly into the cave,
Singing their beautiful melodies.
They seem to know of this water source,
So they also visit to drink the fresh water that is collected in all the various petals below.
They land gracefully,
Bringing their beaks down,
Scooping the water,
And allowing the water to trickle down their throats.
These birds,
They are not afraid of you.
They seem to enjoy your presence.
It is almost as if you are part of their flock.
These brilliant birds,
They are so close to you now that you can observe their beautiful rainbow of colors that make up their feathers.
And some of these colors are bright red,
Yellow,
Green,
Purple,
And turquoise blue,
Which matches the color of the ocean.
They drink the fresh water and look up at you with curiosity and kindness.
Right before they fly out of the cave and back into the rainforest,
You decide to take a moment to sit down in this cave.
There is a perfect rock position that almost resembles a bench.
You lower your body down gently and close your eyes for a moment,
Tuning in to all the beautiful and soothing sounds around you.
You gently listen to the crashing waves,
The trickling stream,
The birds,
The breeze,
The sway of all the palm trees in the distance.
And each sound relaxes you deeper and deeper.
Take a couple of deep breaths.
Go on breathing in the fresh air around you,
Nice and deep.
There you go.
And as you open your eyes,
You see the cave towering above you.
You feel safe.
You feel protected here.
And as you notice some goosebumps begin to rise on your body,
You decide that it's time to return to the sun.
As you make your way out of the cave,
The cool rock under your feet gradually turns back into the warm,
Soft sand.
You happily emerge back into the sunlight and feel the rays of the sun nourish your skin.
You decide to go for a refreshing swim in the ocean.
The water looks so inviting.
So you begin to walk towards the shore,
Feeling the sand under your feet.
Just begin to turn more solid and more firm.
You reach the water and allow it to envelop your feet.
At first,
The water seems cool,
But you enjoy that.
You enjoy how refreshing and rejuvenating it feels against your skin.
It makes you feel alert and alive.
The waves rush up to your ankles and you feel your feet begin to sink in the sand as your weight presses down into the earth.
You feel so grounded at this moment,
Connected to the nature around you.
You begin to make your way into the water until it reaches your waist.
You decide to dip your head under the water.
And as you do,
You allow yourself to become completely weightless.
You surrender and you let go.
You allow yourself to flow in the gentle current of this water,
Allowing the water to support you and to hold you.
And you open your eyes underwater and find that you can see perfectly clear without any discomfort or pain.
And as you look around you,
Floating with perfect ease,
You take a moment to enjoy this underwater life.
You see many colors that are more brilliant than anything you have experienced on land.
Everything you see here is alive,
Moving,
Swaying,
And flowing in the ocean's gentle current.
You see a couple of bright purple fish with glowing green spots swimming past you gracefully.
And they notice you and appreciate your presence.
And as you continue to float here effortlessly,
You notice the shimmering white light of the sun cascading through the water.
You feel so at peace.
You are ready now to head back to the shore,
Feeling grateful for having experienced such a beautiful swim in the ocean.
The gentle waves help you step out of the water with ease.
The sun begins to dry your skin.
You begin to feel yourself fall,
Tired after all this exploring.
And so you notice a beach chair positioned facing the water with a large white umbrella providing the perfect amount of shade.
You decide to lay yourself down and allow your muscles to relax.
You close your eyes and tune into the sounds of nature,
Hearing the gentle waves,
The soothing breeze,
The swaying of the palm trees.
You feel yourself becoming more and more drowsy,
Breathing in deeply,
Relaxing more and more,
Breathing out into serenity,
Resting here resting here just like the waves.
Your breath is coming in and out,
Deepening your breathing now.
And as this healing session comes to an end,
Gently begin to return to your surroundings,
Taking deeper breaths in and out,
Wiggling your toes and your fingers.
Stretch and when you are ready,
Open your eyes.
