Our journey begins by finding a comfortable position.
It doesn't really matter if you sit or lie down as long as you are comfortable.
You have the freedom to choose what your body needs at this moment.
As you begin to settle into your nest,
Take notice of your breath.
There is no need to change or alter your breath in any way.
Just notice how the breath flows gracefully through your body,
Much like a wave in an ocean or maybe a ripple on the surface of a lake or a pond.
Your eyes may begin to get heavy.
If called to do so,
Allow your eyes to close.
As you continue to settle in,
Bring your awareness to the element of water and its many qualities.
Begin to imagine yourself in a serene and tranquil environment surrounded by water.
It could be a calm lake in the mountains,
A gentle river in the forest,
Or floating in the soothing waves of an ocean.
Feel the coolness and fluidity of the water as it flows around you,
How it embraces,
How it supports with its gentle presence.
What does it feel like to float effortlessly on the surface of the water,
Supported and held by its buoyancy?
Allow yourself to surrender to its embrace,
Releasing any tension that you may be carrying.
As you continue to float,
Notice how the water cradles you with its nurturing energy.
Can you feel a sense of weightlessness,
Relaxation as the water carries you on this journey?
With each breath,
Allow yourself to breathe in and out with each breath.
Imagine the water gently washing away any tension or negative energy from your body,
Your mind,
Your muscles.
Feel its purifying essence as it cleanses and rejuvenates your body.
What does it feel like?
Refreshing,
Revitalizing,
Uplifting.
As you float in this peaceful state,
Allow the water to symbolize the flow of life,
Its ability to adapt,
Its ability to adapt and transform in and around obstacles.
How water finds any path as it effortlessly navigates obstacles,
And it shapes the world around it.
Can you draw inspiration from its resilience and flexibility?
Take a moment to express gratitude for the water's presence,
Support,
Healing,
Renewal.
And when you are ready,
Slowly,
Bring your awareness back to the present moment.
Where are you sitting?
Where are you lying down?
Take a few deep breaths,
Feeling the sensation of air as it fills your lungs,
How your breath can be the current of your life.
Carry the calmness and support of water with you as you continue your journey today,
Knowing that you have this serene energy within you to call upon whenever you need it.
Until next time,
May you know peace.
May you know happiness.
May you feel supported.
