Welcome to this meditation.
I'll invite you now to adjust your body,
Really settle into the space,
Observe everything around you,
Noticing where it has all landed.
And as you settle in,
Give yourself a moment to appreciate all that you've done so far today,
All that has brought you to this very moment.
And when you're ready,
You can gradually close your eyes or lower your gaze.
Take a deep breath in,
Filling your lungs with fresh air.
See if you can hold for a moment and then slowly exhale for as long as you can.
Allow your breath to return to its natural rhythm.
And notice how your body is feeling more supported and grounded in this moment.
Today,
I'll invite you to visualize a place where you feel completely safe,
Loved,
And at peace.
Whether real or imagined,
This place is your home,
A sanctuary created just for you.
See yourself standing in front of your home.
Notice the details of the exterior,
The colors,
The textures,
The overall design.
This home is a reflection of you and all that you cherish.
As you step inside,
You're greeted by warm,
Welcoming light.
The air is filled with a sense of calm and familiarity.
Look around and take in the surroundings,
The furniture,
The decorations,
The objects,
All things that bring you joy and comfort.
Each item may have a special meaning.
They may represent a connection to the people and experiences you hold dear.
Now see if you can imagine people.
They are here with you in your home,
Filling it with warmth and laughter.
See their smiling faces and feel the genuine affection they have for you.
They are here to support you,
To maintain your home,
Contributing their energy and love to create this safe space.
Their presence fills you with a sense of belonging and peace.
As you move through your home,
You notice that the materials used to build it are a culmination of all your connections.
The walls are made from the strength of your relationships,
Providing support and stability.
The floors are crafted from the love and kindness you have shared with others,
Offering a solid foundation.
The roof is built from the trust and understanding you have developed over time,
Protecting you from many storms.
Feel the harmony of these elements coming together,
Creating a home that is uniquely yours.
Take a moment to stand still and soak in the atmosphere.
Feel the love,
Joy and security that surrounds you.
This is your safe haven,
A place where you are always welcome and cherished.
Now slowly bring your awareness back to the present moment.
Feel the surface beneath you and the air around you.
Take a deep breath in and as you exhale,
Open your eyes.
Remember that the sense of home is always within you,
Ready to be revisited whenever you need it.
Thank you for your practice.
