Find yourself a quiet place to sit.

Turn off your phone and dim the lights.

This is your time.

A time for total relaxation and inner stillness.

Take a moment to make sure that you're warm enough and that you're sitting comfortably.

Rest your hands on your lap and close your eyes.

Take a long,

Slow,

Deep breath in.

Hold it for a moment and slowly exhale.

Allowing any tension to melt away as you gradually relax more and more deeply with each breath.

Take another long,

Slow,

Deep breath in.

Hold it and exhale.

Empty your lungs completely with every out breath.

Take another deep breath in,

Taking your time.

Hold it for a moment and let go.

You're already drifting down into a state of deep relaxation.

Continue to breathe slowly and gently as you bring your awareness to the top of your head.

Sensing or imagining a feeling of relaxation beginning to spread down from the top of your scalp.

Feeling the muscles in your forehead and temples relax.

Allowing your eye muscles to release and relax.

Letting your cheeks and jaw soften,

Letting go of all tension.

Now let this peaceful feeling flow down into your neck.

Feel it loosening every muscle,

Every fibre.

With each breath that you take,

This relaxing feeling becomes deeper and warmer.

Working its way down deep into the muscles of your shoulders.

Relaxing them,

Releasing them.

This relaxing,

Peaceful feeling flows down from your shoulders and into your arms.

It loosens the muscles in your upper arms,

Your forearms,

Your hands.

Relaxing and soothing all the way to the tips of your fingers.

As your body relaxes,

Your mind relaxes and your thoughts seem to become lighter.

You're slipping deeper and deeper down into a dreamlike state of stillness and relaxation.

Now bring your awareness to your chest and stomach.

Noticing how this area of your body rises and falls as you breathe.

The peaceful sensation flows throughout this area of your body,

Soothing every muscle,

Relaxing every organ.

Moving your attention to your upper back and feeling this relaxation flow all the way down your spine.

As it gradually works its way down your body,

Feel every muscle in your back relax,

Release and unwind.

Feel that your entire upper body has become loose,

Limp and relaxed.

Moving your awareness now to your hips,

Allowing them to release and relax as this peaceful feeling starts to work its way through your lower body,

Releasing the backs of your thighs,

The front of your thighs.

Feeling these large,

Strong muscle groups becoming looser and more relaxed with each passing moment.

Soothing feelings of relaxation flow down through the knees and into your calves.

Your calves relax.

Your ankles relax.

Your feet relax.

Allowing your entire lower body to relax completely and allowing any remaining tension from anywhere in your body to flow out through the tips of your toes.

You're feeling comfortable,

Peaceful,

Relaxed.

And it's time now to leave the external world behind and go on an inner journey.

A journey to a place of deep inner stillness and freedom.

In a moment you'll hear me count down slowly and rhythmically from 10 to 1.

With each descending number between 10 and 1,

You're drifting down,

10% more relaxed.

But I also want you to imagine that you're walking down some stairs.

There are 10 steps to take.

And with each descending number that I count,

Imagine that you're taking one slow step down.

Just one slow step down.

Relaxing,

Deepening,

Feeling safe and secure.

Let's begin walking down.

Let's take that first slow step down.

Ten.

Nine.

Enjoying walking down.

Eight.

Seven.

Becoming ever more relaxed.

Six.

Five.

Just a few more steps now.

Four.

And relaxing.

Three.

Two.

One.

And you've reached the bottom of the staircase.

You're feeling calm and deeply relaxed.

The external world seems so far away now.

Before you is a tall,

Wooden door.

A door with no handle or lever with which to open it.

You study the door more closely and you notice that the word release has been carved into the surface.

Just think about that word.

Feel the meaning of that word.

Slowly you begin to feel a sensation of opening,

Of letting go,

Of releasing.

And the door unlocks.

Its old hinges creak as it slowly opens to reveal a small,

Round room.

This room is a library.

It's filled with bookshelves and it has a tall dome ceiling.

You step inside the room and slowly the door closes behind you.

You feel safe and secure.

This room is a private place.

It's secluded and inviting.

It has no windows and it is very,

Very quiet.

You feel content and happy in this place.

In the centre of the room sits a small wooden desk.

And on the desk lies a large,

Old dust-covered book.

You pick up the book and feel the weight of it in your hands.

You feel a sense of wonder as you behold this grand,

Old book.

It's been here a long time,

Waiting for you since long before you were born.

You open the cover and you notice that all the pages are blank.

This is a book of freedom.

It has the power to free you from anything in life that may be bothering you or weighing you down.

It's time for you to write in the book.

Take a moment to think about anything that is troubling you in your life.

Bring to mind any situation that seems to be blocking you.

Any upcoming event that frightens you.

Any person that you are in conflict with.

Any negative feelings that you are holding onto.

Write about anything at all that you feel is holding you back or that burdens you.

There is no right way or wrong way to do this.

Simply feel or imagine your thoughts and feelings being imprinted into this book.

Take your time.

Allow images to form in your mind and allow your feelings to flow.

Let them flow out onto the pages of the book.

Sense that the pages are filling up with all your worldly concerns.

The book absorbs them all.

As the pages fill with words and pictures,

You are beginning to feel lighter and more positive.

You have been heard.

You have been understood.

You feel reassured and relieved.

And when you are ready,

Close the book.

Look up and notice that the domed roof above you is beginning to open.

Slowly and surely,

The roof is opening completely,

Revealing the clear blue sky above.

You stand with your arms by your side,

Observing the sky above.

You raise your forearms and hands,

Your palms facing away from you.

And as you do,

Your body begins to float and your feet lift off the floor.

A wave of excitement flows through you as you realize that you have the freedom to fly anywhere you choose.

As you raise your hands,

You float higher.

When you lower them,

You gently descend.

With effortless ease,

You begin to float towards the open roof above you.

You glide up and out of the room and slowly up into the sky.

You feel a wondrous sense of freedom as you fly higher and higher in the sky.

You can see the ground below you,

Any buildings gradually becoming smaller and smaller.

You're leaving the world behind and floating high up into the heavens.

Higher and higher you fly,

Passing beyond the clouds,

Feeling even more joyful,

Even more free.

And you decide to fly right out into the universe,

Leaving all your concerns far behind you.

With your arms raised,

You ascend higher and higher,

Traveling beyond the skies and out into space.

You turn to look back on the Earth.

It's a small blue sphere,

Floating in a vast emptiness.

Take a moment to drift simply through space.

Admire the beauty of the stars and the planet far below.

You are weightless,

Serene,

At peace.

You are free.

This floating sensation is profoundly relaxing and you slip even deeper into a state of complete stillness.

You feel as though you are a million miles away from anything or anyone,

And yet you feel connected to the entire universe.

You feel vast,

Weightless,

Timeless.

From deep within the silent space inside you,

A voice can be heard.

Its loving words echo in your mind.

I am without beginning or ending.

I am eternal.

I am free to experience life in any way I choose.

My consciousness is not bound by time or space.

Like the universe itself,

I am limitless.

I am part of a vast,

Unified wholeness.

I am free from all concerns about the past.

I am free from all concerns about the future.

My life is in perfect order,

And it unfolds according to a perfect plan.

I do not strive to attain the things that I desire.

I simply allow them to flow to me.

I release my grip on life.

I am calm in the knowledge that all my needs are taken care of.

I am open to all of life's experiences.

As the moments of my life come and go,

I am at peace.

I do not judge these moments.

I welcome them.

I observe them.

I accept them all.

If problems arise,

I do not resist them.

I observe them with a calm,

Open mind,

For I know that they will resolve in time.

And I have all the time in the world.

In the quiet spaces between my thoughts,

Inspiration comes to me.

All becomes clear.

My life transforms in magical and unexpected ways.

Obstacles that once seemed impassable now seem insignificant.

I rise effortlessly above all challenges to a place of serenity and knowing.

My path forward is becoming clearer and clearer.

Every day,

In every way,

My life becomes more and more harmonious.

I trust in the natural flow of life.

I resist nothing.

I yearn for nothing.

I gratefully receive all that comes my way.

My consciousness is not bound by time or space.

Like the universe itself,

I am limitless.

I am part of a vast,

Unified wholeness.

And now it's time to return home,

To return to your wonderful life on Earth.

Take one last look around you at the infinite,

Glorious expanse of space.

Know that you can return here at any time you choose,

Any time you seek clarity,

Any time you wish to free yourself from your worldly life.

Simply raise your open palms to the world and imagine floating upwards.

You will be instantly transported to this infinite space of peace and clarity.

And now you gently lower your hands.

You slowly begin to drift back down to Earth.

Gradually the planet becomes larger and larger.

You pass into the upper atmosphere.

And then through wisps of cloud as you gracefully guide yourself back towards the ground.

The open roof of the library comes into view and you steer yourself towards it.

You glide down into the library and as your feet come to rest on the floor,

The roof above you begins to slowly close all by itself.

You look up and watch as the opening narrows and then closes completely.

You feel relaxed and refreshed.

You feel lighter and so much stronger than when you first arrived.

That large old book is still resting on the desk where you left it.

You pick it up and open it and you notice that all the pages are empty again.

During your journey into space it has been cleansed.

Only pure white paper remains.

Your sense of freedom intensifies.

You close the book and make your way back towards the door.

The door swings open for you and you step out of the library.

Before you are the ten steps that lead back up.

As you make your way back up the steps you feel yourself becoming more and more alert,

More and more refreshed.

One,

Two,

Three,

Walking back up.

Four,

Five,

Six,

Becoming more alert.

Seven,

Eight,

Nine,

Ten.

And you're back to where you started at the top of the staircase.

You feel calm and clear and at peace with the world.

You feel wonderful.

You're ready to return to your full waking state.

And to take this sense of newfound freedom with you into your daily life.

Become aware of your physical body and the room in which you sit.

Wriggle your toes,

Wriggle your fingers and when you're ready,

In your own time,

Take a deep cleansing breath in and out.

And open your eyes.

Thank you.

My word! What a divine journey I found myself travelling on early this morning✨. The gentle and stellar voice has beamed me up to a Heavenly space where all my tensions and sensations flowed peacefully and effortlessly! I am trying to remain in this beautiful stillness space as I feel strongly grounded in my serene and open self-awareness state. It feels that I am somewhere where freedom is in abundance and feels so pure. Precious and treasured consciousness moments are keeping me protected and grounded in this blissful space. I did not want to come back to Mother Earth, as my journey took me to a much better place where peace, harmony, love and contentedness live! I shall treasure this extraordinary experience and make a note to come back and re-live my exceptional conscious state again and again✨. Andrew thank you so much for the amazing gift you have surprised me with today. Your adorable voice just made my heavenly journey one of the most enjoyable, relaxing, calming and unique adventures I discovered to date. πŸ™πŸ»β€οΈπŸ’«
