As you allow yourself to find the position that's most comfortable for you,
I'd like you to imagine what it would feel like to be even more comfortable in this moment,
To feel so deeply and completely relaxed that your thoughts are only on the gentle passage of air through your nostrils,
As you breathe deeply and slowly,
Becoming aware of your rhythm,
Becoming aware of the length of each slow in-breath,
And deliberately extending the out-breath just a little,
And as you deepen each breath,
You send a clear signal to your mind and to your body that you are safe,
It is safe to completely relax and breathe deeply,
You are safe,
And as you breathe in this deep and healing breath,
You're giving your body the signal that it's now safe to release all stored tension,
And as you exhale and release that tension,
Take your attention to the muscles in your forehead,
The muscles in your cheeks,
And around your eyes,
And just allow those muscles to soften and relax,
And now imagine sending a warm wave of healing relaxation to flow down through all the muscles in your face and neck,
Flowing down through your shoulders,
And feel your relaxation double,
And now allow that warm wave of relaxation to extend down through all the muscles that support your neck and shoulders,
You may see it as a warm relaxing color,
You may feel its heat as it moves through the muscles,
Tendons and ligaments,
Releasing all stored tension,
And now allow this warm wave of relaxation to flow down through your arms,
Relaxing the elbows and forearms,
Flowing out through the fingers,
And begin to notice the weight of your hands as they relax even further,
And now as you take another deep breath,
Allow a warm wave of relaxation to flow into your chest,
Relaxing your heart and lungs,
Warming and healing these organs with a warm glow,
And you can send that wave of relaxation down through all the muscles and organs in your abdomen,
Feeling the warmth ripple down into your pelvis,
Relaxing and releasing all the muscles in your buttocks and hips,
Relaxing your perineum,
Sending a warm wave of relaxation through all your sexual organs,
And as you take one more deep breath,
Picture in your minds eye a beautiful beam of brilliant pure white light,
It's touching the top of your head,
And sending a wave of healing relaxation down through your spine,
Relaxing and releasing all the vertebrae,
Allowing your back to feel freer,
Lighter,
Calmer as that brilliant pure white light pulses down your spine with each deep out breath,
And now just begin to notice how your body is being supported,
Notice where you feel contact with the chair,
The floor,
The bed or the earth,
And just feel that support now,
And as you continue to breathe,
In whatever way is most comfortable for you,
You relax even further,
And just begin to allow your mind to become aware of all the people and things that are currently supporting you,
You may begin to see the faces of friends or family or people that you know that offer emotional support,
And as you see their faces,
Become aware of the support that each of them has offered,
Notice what that feels like,
Notice where you feel gratitude for that support,
And allow your heart to acknowledge and fill with gratitude for their thoughts,
Words or actions that have made a difference in your life,
And you may become aware of all those who support you financially,
Or the monetary systems that allow money to flow to you,
Becoming aware of how your work or finances support you to be the person you are,
Or the person you wish to become,
Feeling gratitude for all it enables,
And noticing where in your body you feel that gratitude,
You may become aware of all the people who offer you physical support,
And even though in times past,
You may have felt unsupported or alone,
You start to become aware of how much support you really do have,
Becoming aware of all that is available to you in your community,
Medical and health centres,
Community centres,
Fitness and lifestyle support,
Counselling support,
Support with education,
And so much more,
And as you become aware of the intricate web of support that exists around you,
And as you become aware of all the things in life that support you,
And enable you to stay safe,
Your home and your possessions,
You acknowledge gratitude for each of them,
Allow your heart to open even more with appreciation and gratitude,
Allow that sense of support that you feel all around your body to expand,
Feeling stronger,
Feeling safer,
Feeling even more secure,
And you can picture yourself as a small child,
Wrapped up in the warmth of your own special blanket,
Holding it tight,
Delighting in its familiar smells,
Familiar feel,
Enjoying a sense of peace,
And you can wrap this feeling around you now,
Feeling this warm,
Nurturing,
Light feeling,
Feeling safe and protected,
Feeling supported,
As you hold in your heart all that you are grateful for,
And as you feel strength in your body and love in your heart,
You become aware of the presence of that love,
Radiating out through your heart,
Reaching out to connect to all that you hold dear,
Reaching out to connect to all that you wish to be,
Reaching out to all that you wish to attract,
And as you close your eyes tonight,
With your head resting gently on the softest of pillows,
You dream of your future,
It's a powerful dream,
Of you sailing into your future,
Accompanied by a hand-picked crew,
Each with their own strengths and abilities,
You sail across uncharted seas,
Exploring with excitement and anticipation,
Each new world that you sense is just over the horizon,
You can feel your strength,
Feel your sense of purpose and vision,
And know that a deep healing and shifting consciousness has occurred,
You feel confident and resilient,
Resourceful and successful in so many unexpected ways,
And you remain constantly grateful and surprised in the many and varied ways that you are supported on your journey,
And as you relax even deeper,
You picture the future you,
Standing at the helm,
Bathed in a golden light,
Feeling connected to everyone and everything around you,
Feeling a deep sense of gratitude for all that is,
And as you bathe in a golden glow,
You allow your vision to soften gently,
As the future merges with the present,
And holding the warmth of support close to your heart,
And feeling the freedom of a heart that is ready to completely embrace all that life offers,
And now you may continue to dream,
Or if you choose,
You can return to the present now,
Feeling connected,
Feeling resourceful and safe,
Feeling supported,
And ready to explore your world with joy,
You can just return your focus to your breath,
Becoming aware of your body,
Beginning to stretch and feel your body's power,
