I invite you to sit comfortably with your feet flat on the ground and your hands gently resting on your lap.
Close your eyes,
If that feels good to you in this moment.
Of course,
You can also just soften your gaze and begin by taking a deep breath in through your nose and out your mouth to balance your energies.
Let's take two more deep breaths,
Slowing down each time.
Let's begin.
Picture yourself standing at the edge of a serene stream.
The imagine you're holding a small bag filled with any worries,
Frustrations,
Or heaviness you've been carrying around.
These could be emotions,
Thoughts,
Or even unresolved situations.
As you stand there,
Feel the weight of this bag in your hands.
Notice what it represents for you.
Maybe a specific block or tension comes to mind.
If so,
Simply acknowledge it without judgment and let it pass by.
Take a moment to step closer to the stream.
Imagine the water as a cleansing force,
Ready to carry away anything you no longer need.
When you're ready,
Gently open the bag and pour its contents into the stream.
Watch as the water carries each item away,
Dissolving and disappearing into the flow,
Leaving you feeling lighter.
As the stream clears,
You gently kneel down,
Placing your hands in the water,
Allowing its gentle current to flow over them to help release any mass residue or tension within you.
You slowly start to stand back up,
Feeling a soft,
Warm breeze blowing across your skin,
Giving you a sense of renewal and clarity.
Feel this fresh energy flowing into every part of you,
Your mind,
Your heart,
Your body.
Let it settle there,
Anchoring you into calm and openness.
Now take one last look at the stream,
Giving it gratitude for the cleansing it just provided you.
And when you're ready,
Bring your awareness back to your body.
You can gently wiggle your fingers,
Wiggle your toes,
Shimmy your shoulders,
Whatever feels yummy for you in this moment.
Take a final deep breath in and exhale.
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes,
Carrying this sense of lightness into your next now moment.
