Allow that little space between your eyebrows to relax.

Let your forehead relax and let the top of your head relax.

Just let go.

And now that you're completely relaxed I invite you to join me on a journey.

Imagine that you're standing on a path at the edge of a small forest.

The bright sun warms your back as you face the opening in the trees.

The cool breeze from the forest is inviting you to enter.

The path is clear and broad.

It is easy to follow and so you step into the forest.

All around you you can hear birds calling to one another.

Their sounds are gentle and sweet.

It is as if they are encouraging you to take a few more steps into their home.

And so you do.

The peace in the forest is total.

You're aware of small animals around you.

You see rabbits and squirrels playing and hiding.

You can hear the sounds of more birds hidden in the dense canopy forest.

The peace in the forest is total.

You're aware of the small animals around you.

You see rabbits and squirrels playing and hiding.

You can hear the sounds of more birds hidden in the dense canopy of the forest above.

As you walk on you begin to hear the sound of running water.

You can tell that the water is gentle and you walk in the direction of that sound.

As you walk you can feel the leaves under your feet and the small branches and roots on the ground.

Feels good to have your feet touching the earth and you let the gentle voice of the water call you on.

Shortly in front of you opens a little clearing in the forest and the middle of the clearing is a small pool.

Pool is being fed from a stream cascading down a small rocky slope.

As the pool is filled with overflowing water,

The water leaves the pool on the other side and continues on its journey through the forest.

Here in the clearing there are some rocks where you can sit.

The rocks are warm from the sun as its rays make their way down through the opening treetops.

Walk to the largest of the rocks and take a seat on it.

It's almost as if the rock were made just for you to sit on.

It cradles your body and holds you steady.

And just as you sit here for a few moments in silence listening to the sounds of the forest and the water passing before you.

Your eyes are closed and your heart is full of joy.

In a few moments you begin to sense the gentle presence of another being in front of you.

You open your eyes.

Standing about three meters from you is a beautiful doe.

Beautiful brown eyes are resting upon you.

She is completely at ease and so are you.

For some minutes you sit enthralled by this gentle creature just looking at you as if she loves you.

She is calm and assured in your presence.

Even her ears are still.

You are so in awe of her presence that your gaze does not leave hers.

Seems that she has brought a message for you and across the space between the two of you she is sending you that message.

Somehow you are aware of the message and you are ready to receive it from her.

As you open your heart now receive her message.

Your heart is filled to ever flowing with the love you are feeling in this message.

She stands there a few moments longer.

Then she gently closes her eyes and opens them again to take one last look at you.

As she turns around and slowly returns back into the forest.

You sit for a moment longer simply integrating into your being the message she had brought you.

And then you rise from your spot on the rock,

Move gently back onto the path and walk slowly and calmly back to the edge of the forest where you first stepped upon the path.

With each step that you take you find yourself coming back into your conscious awareness of the room around you.

You become aware of your surroundings and you can feel the floor under your earth and you can feel the floor and the earth under your feet.

You slowly begin to wriggle bring movement into your hands and your toes.

Gently inviting in a light stretch.

Just taking a moment to acknowledge yourself for showing up today.

As you open your eyes returning to complete consciousness with this message from the forest integrated into your being.

As you return to your day energized and revitalized.
