Hello everyone and a very special hello to my sweet Niamh.
Welcome to Divinely Distracted.
I'm Nadia and I'm so happy to share this moment of stillness with you.
Today we'll be taking a deep breath and a quick journey into a safe and beautiful place in our minds.
This meditation is all about discovering how strong and peaceful we are on the inside.
We're going to visit a huge tree that's extremely magical and it will hold a wonderful secret just for you.
So find a cozy spot let your body relax and gently close your eyes.
Let's begin.
Take a super secret special journey inside your imagination.
So find a peaceful spot.
Sit or lay down where your body can be really still just like a sleeping kitten.
Let's close our eyes gently like two curtains closing on a window and now let's take a big slow breath in through your nose.
Just imagine smelling a sweet beautiful flower.
Inhale and now breathe out through your mouth as if you are gently blowing out a candle.
Let's do two more like that.
Inhale the nice calm fresh air and exhale all of the wiggles and the busy thoughts in your mind.
And one last time a deep breath in and a smooth slow breath out.
Now keeping your eyes closed let's imagine that we are walking on a soft mossy green path.
The sun is warm and gentle on your skin and you can hear the happy sound of tiny little birds singing.
You walk past tall swaying green grass and sparkly miniature flowers.
You can feel safe protected and happy on this path.
Up ahead you see something amazing.
It's a huge magnificent ancient tree.
It's the biggest tree that you've ever seen.
Its strong sturdy branches reach high up into the bright blue sky like giant welcoming arms giving a hug to the world.
Now walk right up to the huge trunk of the tree.
Give it a little touch.
Is the bark rough and bumpy or maybe is it silky and smooth?
Notice its beautiful earthy colours.
This tree is very old and very wise.
It stands tall and unwavering no matter what.
In the wind,
In the sunshine or in the rain.
Just like this tree you can stand tall and strong too.
Look closely at the trunk.
You notice something special.
There's a small secret wooden door just your size.
Tucked right into the wood it has a tiny sparkly crystal handle.
You know this door is just for you.
Gently turn the handle and open the little door.
Step inside.
It's not dark.
It's full of soft gentle glowing light.
You are inside the very heart of this magical tree.
The air smells sweet and calm like warm wooden honey.
Look all around.
On the walls you can see beautiful shimmering pictures.
These aren't just any pictures.
They are memories of you.
One picture shows you're sharing a toy.
That's a memory of your kindness.
Another shows you figuring out a tricky puzzle.
It's a memory of your cleverness.
There's a picture of you doing something brave.
Even though you felt a little nervous.
And that's a memory of your courage.
This is where the tree keeps its secret.
The secret is this.
Are you ready?
Everything that you need to be happy,
Strong and brave is already right here inside of you.
The moment that you realize that this secret,
The whole room begins to glow even brighter than before.
The light is the feeling of the secret itself.
Feel that special warm comforting light filling up your chest.
It is a warm glowing color.
Maybe sunny yellow or soft pink.
Whatever comes into your mind is absolutely perfect for you in this time.
The light flows to your fingers and to your toes.
This light is your special power of deep calmness and quiet confidence.
Now time to thank the magical tree.
Take one last look at your special powerful light.
Know that you can visit this peaceful place anytime you need to feel calm.
So step back out through the little door,
Close it softly,
Leaving the secret safe inside your heart.
Walk calmly and slowly back along the soft green path.
Bring in your calm glowing light with you.
You are strong.
You are kind.
You are loved.
And so very calm.
Now let's get ready to gently wake up our bodies.
Or if it's bedtime,
Maybe you can go to sleep now.
If you're waking up,
Wiggle your fingers and your toes a little bit.
Gently move your head side to side.
Take one final deep breath in.
Feeling that calm,
Quiet energy and a slow breath out.
When you're ready,
You can slowly open your eyes.
You've done so well.
You're back in the room feeling calm,
Happy,
And ready for whatever comes next.
Well done.
Have a wonderful day or a peaceful sleep.
Until next time,
Niamh and I wish you well.
We send you lots of love and hope that you'll join us again.
Remember,
It's okay to be distracted,
Especially if you're divinely distracted.
Take care now.
