Hello and welcome.
Begin by finding a comfy position.
You might want to lie down.
You might want to sit.
The choice is yours.
Make sure you're comfortable.
Wriggle the wriggles out.
Move until you find a position you can completely relax in and then let your whole body become very still.
Let your body drop down into the support beneath you.
Focus your mind on how it feels to be here relaxing and letting go.
Notice the temperature of your body.
Notice the feeling of clothes on your skin.
Also the air on your skin.
Feel into the different parts of your body as I name them and imagine a feeling of lightness,
Warmth,
Softness and ease in each part.
Your toes.
Your feet.
Your lower legs.
Knees and thighs.
Your hips.
Your waist and your lower back.
All the way up your spine,
Rib cage,
Chest and heart.
Into the tops of your lungs,
Your shoulders,
Collarbones and your arms,
Elbows,
Wrists and hands.
Right to the tips of your fingers.
Now back up to your shoulders and your neck.
Up into your head.
The back,
Sides and top of your skull.
Your forehead and your eyebrows.
Your eyes and cheeks.
Your mouth.
Top and bottom jaw.
And finally your nose.
Follow your breath as it goes in and out of your nose filling your lungs and then emptying.
Cool when it goes in.
Warm when it goes out.
Start to count your breaths in your head,
Slowly counting back from ten to one.
In and out.
Ten.
In and out.
Nine.
And so on.
Don't worry if you lose count.
Just start again from ten.
Imagine you are walking.
You are in a beautiful place.
Perhaps it's somewhere you've been before.
Perhaps it's somewhere you love to go.
Or somewhere you're imagining for the first time right now.
You are carrying a heavy backpack.
This backpack holds lots of heavy emotions.
Lots of negative thoughts.
Unhelpful feelings.
Sadness.
Worry.
Fear.
It's so heavy.
You feel the weight of it pulling down on your shoulders.
Making it hard for you to look up and to look around you at this beautiful place you are in.
You realise you have been carrying this bag for some time.
You want to move more freely.
And you want to be able to look around easily.
But this heavy bag is holding you back.
Making you feel stuck and stiff.
You realise you don't have to keep carrying it.
Slowly remove your backpack and with it all your worries and concerns.
You feel released.
You feel free.
Now you can move more freely.
Each step you take you feel lighter and happier.
Your body feels lighter.
You can move and look around this beautiful place and you can see everything around you.
You can breathe in the cool fresh air around you.
Your lungs are free to move.
You can go wherever you want.
Ahead of you you see somewhere you'd like to stop and sit.
Maybe it's somewhere cosy and enclosed.
Perhaps you want to be somewhere up high so you can enjoy the view.
Wherever it is,
Go there now.
Take your place and relax.
Rest and breathe.
Feel a sense of peace and joy.
Natural happiness without the weight of worries or regrets.
You want to savour this place,
Savour this feeling.
Press your thumb and index fingers together.
Feel the pressure where the two digits meet.
This is your anchor.
Savour the feeling you have in this beautiful place,
This freedom,
This lightness,
This ease,
Free of worries and fear and regrets.
Relax.
Press your thumb and index finger together a little more firmly.
Remember this place and this feeling.
You can come back here any time you feel you need to.
It's always here.
Each time you revisit,
Press your thumb and index finger together to anchor and connect you with this feeling once more.
Just close your eyes,
Take off your backpack,
Take a deep breath and come back to this peaceful,
Beautiful place.
Now take a couple of deeper breaths and start to move your fingers and toes,
Feeling a sense of liveliness returning to your body.
Notice sounds around you,
The sensations that you can feel in your body.
Begin to move your body a little more and breathe a little bit more deeply,
Feeling the sense of here and now coming back to you.
Ready to blink open your eyes.
Thank you for joining me.
Namaste.
