Welcome.

You've already begun the process,

Just by arriving here,

By giving yourself this time,

This space,

This permission to rest.

Let's begin by turning your attention inward,

Gently,

Easily,

Begin by noticing your breath.

You don't have to change it,

Just become aware of the gentle rise and fall,

Inhale and exhale,

Each breath guiding you inward,

Each exhale releasing tension,

Thought,

And effort.

Now,

As you begin to settle in,

I want to invite you to imagine something.

Imagine a spiral,

A soft,

Slow spiral.

Maybe it's made of light,

Or mist,

Or a gentle breeze swirling downward,

Inviting you to follow.

This spiral doesn't rush,

It doesn't pull,

It simply guides,

Effortlessly,

Naturally,

Slowly,

Down and down.

Let yourself begin to drift along this spiral path,

As if your mind,

Your body,

Your awareness are gently gliding downward,

There's no resistance,

Only soft descent,

Like being drawn into the center of stillness,

Deeper and deeper,

And as you spiral down,

You may begin to notice layers,

Layers of thought,

Layers of tension,

Layers of awareness,

Gently peeling away,

Each layer you pass through,

Takes you deeper,

Into calm,

Into stillness,

Into your own quiet center.

The deeper you go,

The better you feel,

And the better you feel,

The deeper you go.

Now,

There's nothing to do,

But follow the spiral,

Down and down,

Softly,

Slowly,

Easily,

Imagine that with every gentle turn of the spiral,

You pass a number,

And with that number,

You go even deeper than before,

Let's begin now,

Gently counting from ten to one,

Each number taking you further into peace,

Beginning the descent,

Soft and slow,

Nine,

Relaxing more with every breath,

Eight,

Deeper into calm,

Deeper into stillness,

Seven,

Your thoughts begin to drift,

Your muscles begin to melt,

The spiral draws you inward,

Like a path into your most peaceful self,

Halfway down now,

Feeling so calm,

So still,

Your body is heavy,

And at the same time,

Completely at ease,

Three,

Thoughts float away like clouds,

Leaving only silence behind,

Two,

Almost there now,

Deep,

Relax,

At the deepest level of relaxation so far,

And you are still going deeper,

Because the spiral continues,

Beneath thought,

Beneath sensation,

Beneath everything you've been holding,

And you float deeper still,

Harried by the spiral,

Cradled by stillness,

Supported by rhythm of breath,

You may see colors,

Or just darkness,

You may feel warmth,

Or simply space,

Whatever you notice is exactly right,

You are drifting now,

Deeper into yourself,

Into your subconscious,

Into the quiet center that has always been there,

Waiting,

There's nothing to fear here,

Nothing to resist,

Because this space is yours,

Safe,

Sacred,

Some,

And in this spiral of depth,

You may begin to feel as if time is slowing,

As if gravity is loosening,

As if you are floating and falling at the same time,

And all of it is just right,

The spiral can continue now,

As long as you wish,

You can loop,

Drift,

Or descend even further,

And with every breath you take,

You go deeper,

And deeper,

And deeper still,

Each breath each moment,

Each spiral turn guides you further inward,

Towards stillness,

Towards safety,

Towards surrender,

You don't have to follow every word now,

You don't have to try,

Your mind may drift,

Your thoughts may fade,

And that's perfectly ok,

Because your subconscious is listening,

Your body is relaxing,

And your awareness is deepening,

All on its own,

And now you are ready,

Ready to receive,

Ready to release,

Ready to be reprogrammed,

Restored,

And renewed,

Let the spiral carry you,

Softly,

Into what comes next,

You are safe,

You are supported,

You are exactly where you need to be,

There may have been times in your life when you learned to second guess yourself,

Times when your voice was ignored,

Or dismissed,

Times when you felt it was safer to look outward than inward,

Safer to ask for permission than to stand in your own knowing,

And so perhaps you grew used to doubting yourself,

To checking with others,

To holding back,

To softening your words with qualifiers,

To dimming your light just enough to stay safe,

But tonight,

Those old stories begin to dissolve,

Because the truth is,

You were born with an inner compass,

A natural wisdom,

A deep well of knowing that has always lived inside you,

You may have learned to quiet it,

To question it,

To bury it,

But it never left you,

It is still here,

And it is ready now to guide you again,

Imagine yourself walking along a forest path at twilight,

The air is cool,

Scented with pine and earth,

The trail stretches before you,

Winding gently,

And though the way is quiet,

You notice a subtle glow beneath your feet,

A golden thread woven into the path itself,

Each step you take,

The thread glows brighter,

Guiding you forward,

This thread is your inner wisdom,

Always present,

Always guiding,

Even when the world around you is loud,

Even when voices try to sway you,

The thread remains steady beneath your feet,

Anchor this now,

I trust my path,

I trust my inner compass,

I trust myself,

Notice how it feels in your body when you allow this truth,

Your shoulders soften,

Your chest opens,

Your breath deepens,

The tension of needing to be right falls away,

Because trust does not demand perfection,

Trust is simply presence,

Trust is simply listening,

Trust is simply allowing,

Imagine now that you come to a fork in the path,

Two trails stretch before you,

Once you might have frozen here,

Scanning for signs,

Asking others which way to go,

Doubting your choice,

But now,

You look inward,

You notice the quiet pull in your chest,

The subtle glow beneath one trail,

And without hesitation,

You follow it,

It feels natural,

It feels safe,

It feels right,

And yet you also know,

No matter which path you had taken,

That you know how to take care of yourself,

This is what self-trust feels like,

Simple,

Steady,

Safe,

Anchor it now,

I trust myself to choose,

I trust myself to speak,

I trust myself to live,

Perhaps you remember times in your past when your voice was silenced,

Or when choosing for yourself led to pain,

Those memories may still linger,

And yet,

Tonight,

Your subconscious begins to rewrite them,

You see now that those experiences were not proof that you were wrong,

They were proof that others were not yet ready to honor your truth,

But your truth remained true,

Your knowing remained valid,

And so,

You take back your power now,

You take back your voice,

You take back your trust,

Anchor this deeply,

My voice matters,

My choices are valid,

My inner knowing is safe to follow,

Imagine yourself tomorrow,

Moving through your day with this shift alive inside you,

Someone asks for your opinion,

And you answer simply,

Clearly,

Without needing to hedge or soften,

A decision arrives,

And you feel into your body,

And choose with confidence,

An opportunity presents itself,

And you know if it's aligned or not,

Small moments at first,

But over time,

You notice the difference,

You no longer outsource your power,

You no longer wait for permission,

You no longer silence yourself,

You are living as one who trusts,

One who knows,

One who is free,

Allow these statements to anchor into yourself,

Permeating your existence,

I trust myself,

I trust my voice,

I make good choices,

I release the need for permission,

I release the habit of second-guessing,

I release the fear of being wrong,

I trust my path,

I trust my heart,

I trust my inner compass,

My voice matters,

My knowing matters,

Now imagine your inner compass glowing within your chest,

A steady light always pointing you toward truth,

No matter how noisy the world becomes,

No matter how many voices surround you,

This compass remains clear,

You feel it with every breath,

You feel it with every step,

Guiding,

Steady,

Safe,

And each time you listen,

Each time you follow,

That compass grows brighter,

Stronger,

And clearer,

You are guided,

You are steady,

You are safe,

And now as these truths sink into your subconscious,

You can rest completely,

The forest path stretches onward,

Glowing with golden light,

You no longer hesitate,

You no longer question,

You walk steadily,

Peacefully,

Guided by your own knowing,

Your inner compass shines within your chest,

Glowing softly,

Guiding you always,

You are safe,

You are steady,

You are whole,

Every breath that carries you deeper into trust,

Every heartbeat anchors you further into confidence,

Every moment you rest,

Your subconscious rewrites the old stories,

And loops you into new truth,

I trust myself,

I trust my voice,

I trust my path,

And so you drift now into the deep stillness of sleep,

Carried by trust,

Carried by peace,

Carried by your own inner knowing,

Drifting deeper into calm,

Into renewal,

Into sleep,

Now as you rest,

Allow these statements to settle into your subconscious mind,

Letting them anchor into you as your deepest truth,

I reclaim my voice,

I reclaim my choices,

I reclaim my power,

The old stories of doubt dissolve,

The old fear of being wrong dissolves,

The old need for permission dissolves,

I stand in my truth,

I speak with clarity,

I choose with confidence,

I trust myself fully,

I trust myself deeply,

I trust myself now,

I deeply trust myself,

I honor my voice,

I make good choices,

I release the need for permission,

I release the habit of second-guessing,

I release the fear of being wrong,

I trust my path,

I trust my heart,

I trust my inner compass,

My voice matters,

My knowing matters,

I am safe to trust myself,

I reclaim my voice,

I reclaim my choices,

I reclaim my power,

The old stories of doubt dissolve,

The old fear of being wrong dissolves,

The old need for permission dissolves,

I stand in my truth,

I speak with clarity,

I choose with confidence,

I trust myself fully,

I trust myself deeply,

I trust myself now,

I trust myself deeply,

I honor my voice,

I make good choices,

I release the need for permission,

I release the habit of second-guessing,

I release the fear of being wrong,

I trust my path,

I trust my heart,

I trust my inner compass,

My voice matters,

My knowing matters,

I am safe to trust myself,

I reclaim my choices,

I reclaim my power,

The old stories of doubt dissolve,

The old need for permission dissolves,

I stand in my truth,

I speak with clarity,

I choose with confidence,

I trust myself fully,

I trust myself deeply,

I trust myself now,

I trust myself deeply,

I honor my voice,

I trust myself deeply,

I make good choices,

I release the need for permission,

I release the habit of second-guessing,

I release the fear of being wrong,

I trust my path,

I trust my heart,

I trust my inner compass,
