Hello? And welcome to the healing path. Today. You will experience being held. A guided journey. To inner safety. I invite you. To begin by getting comfortable. You can either Be sitting. Or laying down. Your eyes closed. Or with a soft, Lowered gaze. And I ask. That we start. By beginning to pay attention. To our natural breath. Feel the way it flows through your body. Giving you life. Let us sit in this moment. Or lay down in this moment. Of natural. Breathing. You can bring attention. To any sounds you may be hearing. Any textures you may be feeling. Any smells. Just notice. These things. As we begin. To rest. In a few moments. I will invite you to deepen your breath, And when you do so, It will be breathing in through your nose. And sighing out through your mouth. We will begin this deep breathing. When you're ready. In through your nose. And sigh. And sigh. Take one more deep breath in. And sigh it out. And choose to continue this deep breathing or return back to your natural practice. I'm now going to invite you to imagine a place. That brings you a sense of calm. Heinous. Or joy. I want you to really see this place in your mind. Perhaps it's around a dining table. With your loved ones. And there's laughter and music playing. Or perhaps it's in a favorite area in your home. With a good book. And a cup of tea. Baby, Your place, Your safe place. Is in a forest. Down a path. Surrounded by trees and birds and nature. Or maybe your place that calls to you. Is I the water? Be a running stream. Be a beach with resounding waves. I want you to imagine yourself. In this place. We'll take you on a journey. A feeling. What it's like. Be there. Bring your attention. To the sounds. Perhaps there's. . . Laughter in the air. Maybe it's the sounds of the breeze rustling the leaves. Water running over some rocks and pebbles. The crashing sound of the waves. Really invite those sounds into your experience. Pay attention to how your body feels. As you engage with these sounds. Almost while continuing to breathe. I now ask that you get curious. About sensations that you can touch. Maybe it's a warm hand. You're clasping. Perhaps it's the feel of the blades of grass as you run your hand over the tips Maybe it's the feel of the cold water. Through your fingertips. Are over your toes. Really embrace. These sensations. And ask yourself again. How does this make my body feel? And now I ask you. To bring your attention to what you see. Are there lots of colors around you? Color of the walls. Of your loved one's clothing. Maybe it's the vibrant green in the trees. There's a leaf that's falling to the ground in front of you. For a little chipmunk. That scurries across your path. Perhaps it's the way the water sparkles and shifts and shines. As it runs through the stream. Over the rocks and the pebbles. Or maybe. . . It's the sand, The way it meets the edge of the ocean floor. Foam from the waves. As they crashed to the ground. May ask you again. Bring your attention to how this feels. In your body. I invite you to take another deep breath in through your nose. And sigh it out. And really immerse yourself. And this inner safety. That you've created for yourself. I want you to feel the sun as it streams through the window. Or feel the breeze as it caresses your skin. Or as the water flows over your feet and your toes in such a relaxing rhythm. Or as the sun. Warms your body. Let's take another deep breath in. And sigh it out. And as you surround yourself. By this inner safety. I invite you to wrap your arms around you. In a gentle hug. Squeeze. You may rock back and forth if you choose. I would just like you to feel. Is cocooned. Of safety. And to feel what it's like. To be held. I invite you to take one final deep breath in. In doubt. And as you continue to hold yourself. I ask that you say, I love you. You deserve. To be safe. You deserve to be calm. And you deserve all the joy. That you just experienced. With gratitude. Sabrina.
