Transcript
You are here to begin a path toward healing from depression.
I am honored to accompany you on this inner journey.
Today,
We will explore the universe of depression,
Whether it manifests as an isolated episode,
Burnout,
Or is already well-established.
Whatever form this suffering takes within you,
Know that your unconscious mind remains a powerful ally in your quest for peace and renewal.
Through this session,
We will create a safe space where each breath can relieve you of a burden and bring you closer to your inner light.
Now,
To truly anchor the benefits of this session,
I advise you to practice it every evening for at least 30 days.
This regularity will give your unconscious mind the necessary time to integrate and consolidate positive changes while accompanying you night after night toward growing emotional stability.
Do not worry if you fall asleep along the way.
Your unconscious remains receptive and continues its work even during your sleep.
Now,
Make yourself comfortable in your bed,
Ensuring your environment is conducive to tranquility.
Feel the mattress welcoming you.
Let your shoulders lower.
Take a first deep breath to initiate relaxation.
The meditation will soon begin.
Gently close your eyes and take a deep breath.
As you exhale,
Let your body begin to relax,
As if each breath carries away the tensions of the moment.
Now,
Direct your attention to your face.
Relax your forehead.
Relax your eyelids.
Relax your jaw.
Breathe calmly.
Then,
Exhale while letting this area fully relax.
Feel the small muscles softening,
Your head becoming slightly heavier.
Then,
Shift your attention to your neck.
Relax your trapezius.
Relax your shoulders.
Take another breath.
Exhale,
Imagining all tension leaving these muscles.
Feel your shoulders lowering,
Your neck releasing.
On your next inhalation,
Feel your chest subtly expanding.
Then,
Exhale while relaxing your torso.
Imagine each exhalation as a light current of air sweeping away any tension around your sternum.
Relax your ribs.
Continue this journey to your back.
Then,
Exhale visualizing each vertebra relaxing.
As if an invisible weight was sliding from the top of your spine to the bottom.
Let yourself experience this sensation of lightning.
Direct your attention to your arms.
Relax your elbows.
Relax your wrists.
Relax your hands.
Inhale.
Exhale,
Releasing each muscle all the way to your fingertips.
Feel your arms becoming heavier.
Warmer,
As if you were completely setting them down.
On the next inhalation,
Feel your abdomen rising slightly.
Exhale,
Letting any tension in this area dissolve.
Your pelvis relaxes,
Becoming more stable.
More grounded.
Direct your awareness to your thighs.
Relax your knees.
Relax your calves.
Relax your feet.
Exhale and let this entire area surrender.
Your legs become heavier.
Your feet sink a little deeper into their support.
Now take an even deeper breath.
Exhale slowly,
Feeling how your entire body,
From head to toe,
Rests on its own weight.
You are carried by this relaxation.
Enveloped in a gentle sensation of well-being.
Stay a moment in this inner silence.
Then become aware of your mind gently opening,
Like a door you leave ajar.
Imagine that with each inhalation,
You invite peace to enter deeper within you.
With each exhalation,
Your unconscious prepares to receive everything it needs to heal,
Grow and transform.
You are there,
Deeply relaxed,
Ready to welcome what follows.
Your unconscious is a benevolent ally.
A safe space where every seed of change can be sown.
Simply allow yourself to be carried and permit your inner journey to begin.
Your consciousness now opens,
Like a door ajar to your deepest inner space.
Let what needs to be seen emerge spontaneously,
Without judgment,
With benevolent curiosity.
What landscape appears within you,
Representing your current inner state?
Simply observe what presents itself.
Perhaps it's a sky heavy with dark clouds,
A deep-waved ocean,
A silent forest,
Or any other landscape that naturally manifests.
Welcome this image as a witness to your inner journey.
Now observe the sensations inhabiting your body.
Where are the tensions?
Heaviness?
Discomfort located?
Do you feel pressure in your chest?
A constriction in your throat?
A weight in your stomach?
Or perhaps other sensations in other places?
Explore these sensations as messengers speaking to you in a silent language.
And as you observe,
Become aware of the water that already exists within you,
In every cell of your body.
This inner water,
Fluid and alive,
Silently waits to set itself in motion to purify you.
A golden light appears above you.
It slowly descends and touches the top of your head.
Breathe deeply.
As you exhale,
This light penetrates your skull,
Spreads through your brain,
Instantly dissolving dark thoughts,
Ruminations,
And doubts that cling there.
It descends toward your face,
Erasing accumulated tensions,
Loosening tense muscles around your eyes,
Relaxing your jaw.
Breathe deeply.
As you exhale,
This light penetrates your heart,
The golden light floods your throat.
Unexpressed words,
Contained emotions dissolve in this liberating clarity.
It envelops your heart with vibrant warmth.
Where cold and darkness had settled,
Warmth penetrates,
Transforms,
And revives.
Breathe deeply.
As you exhale,
Feel this light descend into your belly,
Center of your deepest emotions.
Knots of anxiety melt like snow in the sun.
It continues its path to your pelvis,
Continues to your legs,
Down to the soles of your feet,
Rooting you in a new sensation of stability.
Your entire body now pulses with this golden light.
Each cell vibrates with renewed energy.
The shadow retreats before this powerful clarity.
You now find yourself in a garden.
This is no ordinary garden.
It's your inner garden,
A sanctuary.
Perfectly attuned to your deepest being.
The sky above you is deep blue and soothing.
The light bathing this place is soft,
Caressing,
Like that of a late afternoon sun filtering through foliage.
Winding paths meander between beds of vibrantly colored flowers,
Deep violets,
Celestial blues,
And soft pinks.
These flowers seem to breathe in harmony with you.
Listen carefully.
The murmur of a stream crosses this garden,
Its crystalline melody punctuating the silence.
Invisible birds exchange melodious songs in the branches of the ancient trees bordering your sanctuary.
Feel under your bare feet the softness of the air.
The fresh and supple grass,
Slightly moist with dew.
Each step connects you more deeply to this place of regeneration.
The air is infused with the scent of flowers,
Mixed with that of fertile earth and pure water.
This fragrance penetrates you,
Awakening memories of well-being long buried.
As you explore this garden,
A crystal mist begins to form before you.
This mist is not ordinary.
It gently pulses with an inner light,
As if millions of tiny luminous crystals composed it.
This crystal mist is your guide.
It perfectly knows the path to your healing.
It vibrates in resonance with your deep being.
Embodying your own inner wisdom in a visible form.
The mist sparkles and dances before you,
Inviting you to continue your transformation journey.
The crystal mist guides you to the heart of the garden,
Where flows a stream of extraordinarily clear waters.
These waters possess a unique power,
That of transforming and purifying everything they contact.
You sit by this stream and plunge your hands into it.
The water is fresh,
Alive,
And vibrant with energy.
You feel it running between your fingers,
Pure and revitalizing.
The crystal mist swirls above the water,
Then extends to envelop you in a protective halo.
In this benevolent embrace,
You feel perfectly safe to release everything weighing you down.
Imagine each negative thought,
Each painful emotion,
And each sensation of heaviness leaving your body.
These shadows dissolve in the crystalline water and are carried away by the current,
Transformed by the regenerative power of the stream.
With each breath,
Your burden lightens.
With each exhalation,
You entrust a part of your suffering to the stream.
Now observe the garden around you.
It transforms before your eyes.
Flowers that seemed withered,
Straighten and open.
Colors intensify,
Becoming more vibrant.
The light becomes clearer,
More penetrating.
Areas that seemed barren are covered with new colors.
New shoots,
Tender green and full of promise.
The birdsong becomes more melodious,
More affirmed.
Your inner garden is reborn,
A perfect reflection of the transformation occurring within you.
The crystal mist completely envelops you now.
And in this luminous embrace,
Deep truths inscribe themselves within you.
I am more than my thoughts and emotions.
Each breath brings me calm and clarity.
I open myself to healing and renewal.
My true nature is peace and harmony.
These affirmations resonate within you,
Not as words,
But as certainties anchoring in every cell of your being.
The crystal mist now invites you to follow a path paved with smooth luminous stones.
This path gently rises through your regenerated garden,
Leading you to a promontory overlooking your entire inner domain.
At the center of your garden,
The center of this promontory is a perfectly circular pool of water.
Its surface is so calm,
So perfectly smooth that it forms a natural mirror of striking clarity.
The crystal mist guides you to the edge of this pool and invites you to lean over to see your reflection.
What you see is not your current face,
But the one you will wear in a few weeks,
A few months after this inner transformation.
Observe this face carefully.
Notice the serenity inhabiting it.
The features are relaxed,
The gaze clear and direct.
A subtle light seems to emanate from within.
In this vision,
Depression no longer has a hold on you.
Your body stands straight,
Relieved of the invisible weight that pulled you down.
Your breathing is deep,
Regular,
And nourishing.
You see yourself interacting with the outside world.
You welcome each day with renewed presence.
You navigate challenges with quiet resilience.
You savor moments of joy with rediscovered fullness.
This is not an inaccessible dream you contemplate.
But a reality in formation,
Which you build night after night through this inner journey.
Now place one hand on your heart and the other on your belly.
Feel the warmth emanating from your palms.
This warmth carries the sensations of peace and renewal you have just observed,
Imprinting them deeply into every fiber of your being.
This sensation is your anchor,
Your inner reference point,
Confirming that the path to healing is already traced within you.
It is time to conclude this journey.
The crystal mist envelops you one last time,
Imbuing you with its regenerative energy.
Breathe deeply,
Gathering all the healing energy you have created.
As you exhale,
Feel this energy spreading throughout your being,
Continuing its silent work even during your sleep.
Become aware of your body lying on the bed.
Feel the weight of your body,
The texture of the sheets against your skin.
And the tranquil rhythm of your breathing.
Know that while you sleep,
The transformations initiated continue their work,
Preparing a new day where you will awaken a little lighter,
A little more whole.
Each night spent in this inner garden brings you closer to the balance and peace that are rightfully yours.
Now let yourself slip into sleep,
Carried by the currents of healing you have created yourself,
Accompanied by the protective presence of your crystal mist.
Rest well,
And see you tomorrow to continue this transformative journey.
In the evanescent wake of this crystalline mist,
Everything becomes light and protective,
As if each moment were a petal of dawn slipping into a halo of infinite light.
A subtle caress of light whispers to thoughts that they can calm down,
While a discrete wave of calm brushes the inner shores,
Offering healing space to flourish.
The dreamlike images of this secret sanctuary already glimpsed merge with the echo of a silent breath,
Infusing the air with enveloping tenderness and reassuring warmth.
Here,
Everything merges and transforms.
In the invisible meeting between appeasement and renewal,
Where serenity gently stretches like a luminous wave erasing the boundaries of time,
The letting go then spreads with serene delicacy,
Like a starry rain dissolving old limits.
And if one still listens closely,
One perceives in this vibrant silence the whisper of a new breath,
Carrying a delicate promise of intimate transformation.
A promise that spreads in soothing spirals,
Inviting each thought to lighten further,
As if wrapping itself in a cocoon of warm clarity.
Time seems to suspend its course,
Offering consciousness a refuge to nestle with infinite gentleness,
Where all worry dissolves and merges into the nocturnal caress.
The dreams to come are already preparing,
Like fireflies in the shadows,
Ready to illuminate.
Then,
Throughout this journey,
The poetic light that permeates the mind becomes both discreet and omnipresent.
Inviting a serene abandonment,
Where consciousness no longer has anything to carry or prove,
Cradled in the confidence of a protective silence.
And now,
If you are not yet asleep,
I invite you to repeat the following positive affirmations.
