Hello,
Thank you for joining me today.
We're going to take this time for you.
Let's begin.
Let's ease your anxiety.
Get comfortable.
You can sit or lie down.
You can keep your eyes open or closed.
If you keep them open,
Pick a point in the distance to gently focus on.
Otherwise,
Close them.
Now take a deep cleansing breath through the nose.
Slowly hold the breath.
And now,
As you slowly release,
Imagine you're sinking into a nice,
Warm bath.
Let's take a few more deep cleansing breaths just like that.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Inhale.
Exhale.
A few more.
Remember,
This is your time.
This time belongs to you,
Not to your anxiety.
This is a safe space.
The world around you doesn't exist right now.
There is nothing you need to do right now but breathe.
Let me take the lead for you.
I want you to see yourself in a large bathtub filled with warm water.
Maybe there's bubbles.
Maybe oils.
What do you smell?
Is it lavender?
Breathe it in.
As you lie in the bath,
Know that you are safe and protected.
Know that you are allowed to take this time to relax.
You are allowed to put everything on hold.
You are allowed to feel peace.
The more peace you feel,
The less room there is for your anxiety.
As you continue to take deep breaths and exhale slowly,
Imagine you are breathing in your peace and exhaling your anxiety.
Soon there will be no more anxiety left,
Only peace.
It's very peaceful in the bath,
Isn't it?
Feel the peace.
Let it fill you.
Don't forget to keep your deep,
Gentle breaths.
Inhale peace.
Inhale peace.
Exhale anxiety.
Imagine the warm water gently lapping up your neck.
It touches the back of your ears.
You're floating in the water.
Float.
Your anxiety is so far away from you now,
Isn't it?
Wave goodbye to it in your mind.
Your peace is stronger than you think.
Let your peace wash over you like the warm bath water you're soaking in.
So now just rest in it for a few more breaths.
So when you're feeling ready,
Take another deep inhalation and as you exhale,
Very slowly open your eyes if they've been closed.
Now take a few more breaths,
Slowly awakening your body and mind to the world around you.
It's a more peaceful world than when you started because you are at peace.
You can take this feeling with you wherever and whenever you need to.
Just remember your warm bath.
Thank you for joining me today.
