Find a comfortable position,
Extend your legs and arms and let your palms face up,
Allow your feet to gently fall outward,
Creating a feeling of openness in your hips.
Close your eyes,
Take a deep breath in and exhale fully as you let go of any tension in your body.
As you begin this journey of relaxation,
Imagine a flickering light before you.
Picture the soft gentle glow dancing and shimmering,
Creating a calming atmosphere.
As the light flickers,
Feel the release of tension from your body,
Letting go with each exhale.
Now envision a large flowering cherry tree.
Picture its branches adorned with delicate blossoms,
Swaying in a gentle breeze.
Feel the serenity and peace that surrounds this beautiful tree,
Allowing it to meld away any stress or worry.
Now shift your focus to a large fir tree,
Standing tall and strong.
Visualize the green needles covering its branches,
Symbolizing resilience and stability.
As you breathe deeply,
Let these qualities infuse your being,
Releasing any lingering tension.
Now look up to the sky and notice colored clouds.
Picture yellow clouds,
Gray clouds and pink clouds.
Each hue representing different emotions and experiences.
As you observe these clouds,
Let go of any emotions that no longer serve you,
Allowing them to dissipate like clouds in the sky.
Now bring your awareness to a foggy morning.
Feel the mist enveloping you,
Creating a sense of mystery and tranquility.
As the fog clears,
So does any residual tension,
Leaving you with a sense of clarity.
Now picture yourself basking in the warm sunshine of a clear,
Fresh air day.
Feel the warmth on your skin and breathe in the rejuvenating air,
Releasing any lingering stress.
Allow the sunshine to nourish your spirit.
Now imagine a starry night and a moonlit night.
Picture the full moon illuminating the darkness.
Feel the calm and peaceful energy surrounding you as you release any tension to the night sky.
Envision a moment of laughter with friends.
Hear the joyous sounds.
Feel the lightness in your heart.
Laughter has the power to dissolve stress.
So let it wash over you,
Leaving you with a sense of joy and ease.
Imagine receiving a warm hug.
Feel the embrace,
The comfort,
And the support as you soak in the warmth.
Let go of any tightness in your body.
Envision daybreak,
The moment when the night transitions to day.
Feel the promise of a new beginning,
Releasing any remnants of the past and welcoming the fresh possibilities of the present.
Take a few moments to stay and linger in this state of calm,
Allowing the visualizations to settle within you.
And when you're ready,
Gently bring awareness back to your body.
Gradually awaken with a renewed sense of peace and release.
Thank yourself for taking this time for self-care and carry the calm with you into the rest of your day.
