Welcome. It's time to settle yourself. Either seated with ease or lying down where your body feels fully supported. Gently let the eyes close. Nothing to chase, Nowhere to wander. Resting. In the heart of the present. No destination. No doing. Only being. Only ease. Nothing to see. Nowhere to arrive. Already home. Already whole. No path to follow. Their task. To fulfill. Just. The quiet unfolding of now. Take a slow breath in through the nose. And release softly. With ease through the mouth. Take another slow, Nourishing breath. In through the nose. And let it sigh out easily through the mouth. Follow your breath to return to its own natural flow. Simply notice the quiet rhythm. The gentle rise. And the soft fall. Inhale. Exhale. Steady. And Harry. Notice how your body connects to the surface beneath you. Supported, Held. And safe. Sense the steadiness of the earth below. Breathe in deeply. And exhale slowly. Feel a cool, Clear presence deep within. Like a pond in winter. Too. And serene. Gently scan your body and mind. Where do you sense any tightness, Holding? Or perhaps a feeling of being frozen. Nothing to alter. Only to witness. Imagine these places as ice. Beautiful. Solid. Protective. Acknowledge and thank these parts for helping you. Breathe in fully. And breathe out. With gratitude. Now with each inhale. Visualise a mellow light gathering in your heart. With every inhale, Imagine this light beginning to swell. With every exhale. Imagine this light spreading warmth toward the icy places within. Follow your breath's guidance. In her warmth. Exhale, Softening. Feel the icicles within you slowly beginning to soften. My breath. Each one melting just a little more. A little softer. Little freer. Allow yourself to surrender into this gentle easing. Notice how the harshness dissolves. Our stillness gives way to flow. Sense the coldness transforming. Becoming quiet streams of warmth within. Inhale, Ease. Exhale. And let it all melt away. Repeat this softly. With the rhythm of your breath. As warmth spreads. Let your attention follow the moving stream within. Sense its freedom and strength. How it glides. Adapts. Nourishes. Visualize the flowing water washing away any tension. Stress. Happiness. Out of your body with every exhale. Breathe in fresh energy. Exhale, Release. And pause. Imagine a soft, Shimmering stream flowing through you. Body. Mind and heart. It glides over every tight place. Every shadow. Every thought. It washes over tension. Softening. Releasing. Bringing space and light. Dissolving all that is no longer needed. Invite ease to settle in. Clarity to ripple through your thoughts. And gentle stillness for growth to unfold. Rests now in this sense of freedom. And fluidity. Feel the vitality within you. That shift. From ice to water. Is not just a change of state. But a soft surrender. A letting go. In this melting the barriers fall away. Inviting movement. Emotion. And the simple flow of life itself. We are reminded that our pauses our frozen spaces. Our invitation is not to resist. But to let the warmth in. In yielding we return to ourselves. Fluid and open. Embracing the spiritual freedom that comes with transformation. Trusting that the thaw is not an ending. But a sacred and necessary part of our becoming. Let radiance warm what once was shadow. With peace. This is Anne-Marie.
