Hello there.
Let's begin by finding a quiet place to settle in for the next few moments.
Allow yourself to adjust your body in any way you need.
And if it feels right,
Gently close your eyes or lower your gaze.
And take a few deep breaths.
Allow the next breath to be the deepest one.
Inhaling through your nose.
Holding for a moment.
And then exhaling slowly through your nose as well.
Notice anything that shifts in your body.
Anything that helps you settle in that much more.
And throughout this practice,
You can stay with your breath.
Maybe place a hand on your chest,
The other on your abdomen.
As I invite you to imagine yourself standing on the shore of the most magnificent beach you have ever seen.
The sand is soft and warm beneath your feet.
And the water is a stunning shade of turquoise.
It is gently lapping at the shore.
The sun is shining brightly in a clear blue sky.
And the air is filled with the soothing sounds of waves and distant calls of seagulls.
This is a place of perfect peace and happiness.
Somewhere you can enjoy being with your most favorite person in your life.
As you take in the beauty of the beach,
You feel a hand gently clasp yours.
You turn to see your partner standing beside you,
Their eyes filled with love and warmth.
Together,
You walk along the shore,
Feeling the soft sand beneath your feet and the gentle caress of the ocean breeze.
Every step you take is filled with a sense of connection and harmony.
Take a deep breath and affirm to yourself,
I am grateful for the love and connection I share with my partner.
I cherish the moments of quality time we spend together.
Find a cozy spot on the beach where you and your partner can sit and relax.
As you settle down,
Feel the warmth of the sand and the soothing rhythm of the waves.
Your partner sits close to you,
Their presence a comforting and loving support.
You both take in the beauty of the ocean,
Enjoying the peacefulness of the moment.
Imagine the two of you sharing a conversation filled with laughter and joy.
Your partner's words are filled with kindness and understanding,
And you feel truly heard and appreciated.
In turn,
You listen with an open heart,
Offering your own words of love and support.
This exchange is filled with unconditional love and mutual respect.
As the sun begins to set,
Painting the sky with hues of orange,
Pink,
And purple,
You and your partner stand up and walk towards the water.
The cool waves gently wash over your feet,
Creating a sense of renewal and togetherness.
You hold each other close,
Watching the sun dip below the horizon.
This moment symbolizes the timeless and enduring nature of your connection.
On the next breath,
Affirm to yourself,
I am deeply grateful for the moments of connection and joy we experience together.
I feel truly loved and appreciated for who I am.
I embrace this timeless feeling of love that I can share with my partner.
Finally,
Imagine the two of you sitting down on a large beach blanket,
Sharing a peaceful silence as you watch the stars begin to twinkle in the night sky.
The world around you fades into a gentle stillness,
Leaving only the two of you in this perfect moment of togetherness.
Feel the love and warmth radiating between you,
A testament to the strength and beauty of your relationship.
As you sit together under the stars,
Allow yourself to fully absorb the peace and love of this moment.
Know that you can return to this beach in your mind whenever you need to feel the comfort and joy of your partner's presence.
Slowly begin to bring your awareness back to your physical surroundings.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
Stretch gently.
And then gradually open your eyes once again.
Take a moment to appreciate the sense of love and connection you now carry with you.
And perhaps you'll even reach out to your partner and express that after this practice to them.
Thank you for your practice.
