And once you're in a comfortable position,
I'd like you to close your eyes and take a deep breath in and breathe out.
Take another deep breath in and breathe out.
Breathing in and breathing out.
And as you breathe in,
I'd like you to slowly count.
Breathe in for four,
Two,
Three,
Four.
And breathe out,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Breathing in,
Two,
Three,
Four.
And breathing out,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Breathing in,
Two,
Three,
Four.
And breathing out,
Two,
Three,
Four.
And continue with that cycle of breath,
Inhaling and exhaling slowly and allow the breath to relax you,
Allow the breath to soothe you.
And just let go of the busyness,
Let go of the negative,
Let go of all responsibilities,
All the ups and downs of life,
What you hear in the news,
What's going on around you.
Just let it go on the exhale.
Breathing in,
Two,
Three,
Four.
And breathing out,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Breathing in,
Two,
Three,
Four.
And breathing out,
Two,
Three,
Four.
And now allow yourself to come back to your usual pace of breathing.
And just observe the breath as you relax deeper and deeper,
Relaxing your mind,
Relaxing your shoulders,
Relaxing your abdominals,
Your arms,
Down through to your fingertips,
Relaxing your thighs,
Your legs,
Your ankles,
Down to the soles of your feet.
Just feel your entire body let go of any tension that you may be holding on into the body.
Breathe it out that tension,
Release it from your entire being,
Letting go,
Release,
Letting go,
Release.
Letting go,
Release.
Give yourself permission to let go,
Give yourself permission to relax.
This time is sacred time,
Time for you to connect to your inner self,
But also to let go,
To let go of everything right now.
This moment is for you,
Embrace it and let go and relax,
Let go and relax,
Let go and relax.
Just feel your body unwind.
If there are any thoughts that come to mind,
Just breathe them out on the exhale and let them pass by.
Don't hold on to any thoughts,
Just let them go.
Release them.
This is your inner journey.
Release the thoughts.
Let go of the negative energies,
Let go of responsibilities.
In this moment it's always an opportunity to have a fresh start,
To let go of the past and to find new peace,
New joy and happiness.
Just release and let go.
Release and let go.
Quiet your mind and go within.
Quiet the mind and go within.
So just be still and silent just for a little while,
Giving yourself this gift of stillness and silence.
Life often takes us away from this,
So embrace this moment.
Stillness and silence.
Letting go and connecting within.
Now right now where you are,
I want you to see yourself in a happy place.
See yourself smiling.
Wherever that happy place is for you,
In your mind I want you to take yourself there.
Whether it's by yourself,
With others,
Just take yourself there.
And allow yourself to see everything about that place.
Allow yourself to feel to feel the happiness within.
What is it about that place or that time that made you feel happy?
What is it about that place that lifts your heart and your spirit?
As you think about it now you may connect to that happy feeling.
What is it about this place that makes you happy?
Why is that special to you right now?
You don't have to logically think of the answer,
Just allow your feelings and your emotions from what you see in your mind take you there.
Become fully embraced in the image in your mind.
What is it about this place that lifts your soul,
That energizes you,
That makes you smile?
Allow yourself to connect to that happiness.
Maybe it was a memory or maybe it's a place you want to go again,
Or you have been recently.
What is that place for you?
Let your mind take you there right now.
Allow the image to take over.
What is it that you see around you?
Are you sharing that happiness with others or is it just you on your own?
If there are others,
What's their expression on their face?
What are they saying to you?
Feel the atmosphere of this vision.
Take yourself back there or to there.
Whether it's a place you plan to go in the future or you have been in the past,
Be fully present in this vision.
Now I want you to connect to the feeling of love within this happy place,
Where there is happiness,
There is love,
Love for the self and for others.
Feel the energy of happiness and of sharing that joy with those you connect with.
Let that joy fill your heart.
Allow the feelings of this vision to seep inward into your heart.
Allow it to fill your heart up with joy and as your heart fills with the image of this happy place,
Allow it to move through you,
To expand and to shine out through your heart in love.
Imagine this happiness now shining out through your heart,
The feelings that your vision gave you.
I want you to connect to it within your heart.
Imagine a yellow light shining where your heart chakra is and feeling that connection to the happiness you can bring yourself and visualise in your happy place.
What makes you happy?
What lifts your spirits?
What energises you,
Motivates you,
Excites you?
Feel it in your heart.
Open your heart to it.
Don't hold back.
Maybe it's something you've not experienced.
Allow it to connect within.
The feeling of joy,
The feeling of happiness,
The feeling of love,
The feeling of energy,
Vitality,
Excitement.
Really allow your heart to connect.
Allow that yellow light to shine bright through your heart and really connect to it.
And now see this light expand from your heart,
Expand upwards to your scalp and downwards to the soles of your feet,
Down through your arms,
Abdominals,
Your whole entire being filled with this light of energy,
Vitality,
Joy,
Happiness and love.
See this yellow light expand within you.
Connect to that feeling of happiness.
Feel the energy of it and allow it into your entire being.
That no matter what difficulties or hurdles you face in day-to-day life,
The happiness comes from a vision that you create,
That you connect with and that you feel over your entire being.
No matter what happiness comes from within.
Today you have found that,
So allow yourself to really connect to it.
Allow yourself to embrace it,
To feel the energy of it and to give thanks that you can draw upon this vision and expand the feeling of happiness within.
Be grateful for the things that make you smile.
Be grateful for the small blessings as well as the large blessings.
Be grateful for the memories that make you smile,
For the people that make you smile,
For the places that make you smile.
Just allow yourself to be with that energy.
Now taking your focus back to your heart and back to that vision of happiness.
Placing it in your heart,
You create the happy space and you can create so many more happy places that lift your soul and lift your whole being.
And as you connect to that feeling,
I want you to become aware of your breath.
Now observing your breath,
Still having that gratitude,
Love and happiness within your hearts.
You become more and more aware of your breath,
Observing your breath as you breathe in and out.
Becoming aware of your physical body and your surroundings.
Breathing in and out,
Not losing the energy that you've created within your heart,
But keeping it safe and with you for day-to-day life,
Through all responsibilities,
Through all conversations,
Journeys,
That energy of happiness,
Love and gratitude.
Taking a deep breath in and out.
Slowly wiggling your toes,
Breathing in and out,
Slowly wiggling your fingers and take one more deep breath in and out.
And when you're ready,
You can slowly open your eyes.
