Welcome.
This is your time to unwind,
To surrender to the gentle embrace of tranquility.
Gently close your eyes and take a deep breath in and exhale softly.
Let go of the outside world.
You are safe here,
You are at peace.
Now imagine yourself standing at the edge of a serene river,
Its surface shimmering under the golden morning glow.
The water moves with a soft,
Soothing whisper.
Rippling,
Glistening,
Inviting you to step closer.
Feel the warm,
Velvety air wrap around you like a cozy embrace.
The breeze hums a quiet lullaby as it dances through the leaves,
Making them flutter ever so gently.
You take a slow breath in.
The scent of fresh water,
Earthy moss and delicate wildflowers fill your senses.
And as you breathe out,
Tension begins to melt away,
Fading,
Dissolving,
Drifting downstream.
Now take a step forward.
Feel the cool,
Silky touch of the river water on your feet.
A soft tingle travels up your spine,
A sensation of deep calmness settling into your being.
The water is gentle,
Inviting.
It cradles you,
Lifts you,
Carries you with ease.
Imagine yourself floating,
Weightless and free.
As the river carries you deeper into peace,
Tiny ripples lap against your skin.
Soft,
Rhythmic,
Soothing.
The sound of water trickling over smooth pebbles fills your ears,
A delicate,
Bubbly melody that lulls you further into relaxation.
You drift past overhanging willow trees,
Their long,
Feathery branches swaying,
Trailing their fingertips in the water.
The rustling of the leaves above creates a soft murmur,
A hushed,
Tranquil symphony that surrounds you like a warm,
Comforting blanket.
The river is calm,
Endless,
Timeless.
It carries away all your worries,
All your stress.
You watch as they dissolve like morning mist,
Fading into the water.
Floating away far now,
Notice how your body feels.
Your arms light as air.
Your shoulders loose and relaxed.
Your hands open,
Receptive,
Free.
The river whispers to you,
Telling you to let go.
And so you do.
You surrender to the moment,
Letting yourself be held.
Be supported.
The water flows with the soft shimmer of sunlight.
Tiny sparkles dancing across the surface.
Everything is still.
Everything is peaceful.
Sense of serenity settles within you.
It lingers in your chest,
Your heart,
Your soul.
And now,
Slowly,
Gently,
The river begins to guide you back.
Back to where you started.
Back to the present moment.
Feel the water becoming shallower.
The gentle touch of soft river stones beneath your fingertips.
You take a slow,
Deep breath in.
The river has cleansed you.
Refreshed you.
Filled you with a profound sense of inner peace.
With each breath,
You return.
Feeling present.
Feeling whole.
Feeling light.
Now,
When you're ready,
Gently bring your awareness back to your body.
Slowly open your eyes.
The world around you is the same.
Yet somehow softer.
Quieter.
More serene.
Carry this tranquillity with you today.
Let it linger like a whisper.
Like a shimmer of light on the water.
You are calm.
You are at peace.
You are free.
