Take a moment to settle into a comfortable position.
Let your hands rest easily.
Let your shoulders soften.
And allow your eyes to close if that feels comfortable.
Take a slow,
Gentle breath in and let the breath leave you naturally.
Again,
Breathing in.
And breathing out.
Now imagine yourself entering a quiet,
Warm and cozy room.
A beautiful,
Peaceful room that feels welcoming from the moment you enter.
Perhaps there is a soft sunlight coming through the window.
Perhaps there is a comfortable chair,
A soft blanket,
A gentle warmth in the air.
Take a moment to imagine what this room looks like for you.
There is a feeling here that you can recognize immediately.
A feeling of being cared for.
A feeling of having space.
A feeling that your body can settle.
Let yourself rest here for a few moments.
Feel the surface beneath you supporting your body.
Notice your breathing.
And with every breath allow yourself to settle a little more deeply into this safe space.
Now imagine that the calmness in this room begin to glow.
Perhaps it has a soft golden color,
A gentle luminous space that fills the air around you.
With your next inhale,
Imagine breathing some of this golden light into your body.
Let it enter with the breath.
And spread gently through your chest.
Then let it move into your shoulders.
Down through your arms.
Into your hands.
Breathing in this soft golden light.
Allowing your body to receive it.
Now let the light travel through your neck and jaw.
Feel the muscles around your face becoming softer.
Let the light move across your forehead,
Around your eyes,
Through your cheeks.
Your whole face receiving this gentle glow.
And now allow the light to move down into your chest again.
And then into your belly A place where so much of life can be felt.
Let your belly become a little softer with each breath.
Imagine the golden light continuing down through your hips,
Your thighs,
Your knees.
Your calves.
All the way to your feet.
Your whole body now is surrounded by this quiet golden light.
Take a slow breath in.
And as you breathe out,
Feel yourself resting inside this sensation.
Take a few moments to simply notice how you feel here.
Let yourself enjoy that feeling.
And as you sit here,
Imagine the soft golden light gently settling within you.
Around your heart.
Your belly,
Your womb.
In your shoulders and your hands.
Let it become part of the way you feel.
Take a slow breath in.
And as you breathe out,
Feel that sense of calm becoming familiar.
Something you can recognize,
Something you can return to.
You can carry the feeling of this place into whatever comes next.
You can return to this calmness whenever you need a moment of grounding.
Take another slow breath in.
And feel the sensation within you.
Exhale gently.
And let yourself feel present Feel your body.
Feel the ground beneath you.
Now bring back your attention to the room around you.
Maybe give yourself a gentle stretch.
Move your fingers and toes And when you're ready,
Slowly open your eyes.
Carry a little of this gentle sensation with you and let it move into the rest of your day.
