Begin by finding a comfortable seated position.
Gently close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose,
Filling your lungs completely,
Holding for a moment and then exhaling slowly through your mouth,
Releasing any tension you may be holding.
Feel the tension releasing on the out-breath.
Take a few more deep breaths like this in through the nose,
Releasing out through the mouth,
Feeling more and more relaxed with each exhalation,
Drifting a little deeper.
Now with each breath,
Visualise the air you breathe in as a bright,
Energising light.
Imagine this light as the colour of the sunrise,
Warm and full of potential.
As you inhale,
This light fills your body,
Reaching every corner,
Every cell,
Bringing with it a sense of hope and renewal.
Now with every exhalation,
Imagine releasing any doubts,
Any worries or fears you may have.
With each slow breath out,
Let go of anything that doesn't serve you,
Making room for new possibilities and positive outcomes.
Now allow your breath to return to a normal,
Natural pattern,
Breathing in whatever way feels natural to you.
Imagine basking in the light of a new day,
Feeling grounded in the present moment,
Connected to the earth beneath you and open to the vast sky above.
Now begin to set your intention for the day.
Think about what you wish to achieve,
How you want to feel and the experiences you wish to have.
Take some time to visualise yourself moving through your day with ease and grace,
Handling challenges with calm and confidence,
And finding moments of joy and gratitude along the way.
Take a few moments now to affirm your ability to create a positive and fulfilling day.
You may choose to silently repeat to yourself,
Today I choose to focus on the good.
I am capable,
Strong and ready to embrace the day with an open heart and an open mind.
Today I choose to focus on the good.
I am capable,
Strong and ready to embrace the day with an open heart and an open mind.
Now gently and slowly,
Start to bring your awareness back to the room.
Bring some movement into your fingers and toes.
Gently move your head from side to side,
And when you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
Take one final deeper breath in,
Gathering strength and energy for the day ahead,
And as you exhale,
Smile softly,
Knowing you are prepared for a great day.
