Taking a nice deep breath and exhaling out loud on a sigh.
Allowing yourself to settle.
Imagine that this is a deep,
Relaxing weight to your body as you sink into this moment,
Fully present,
Right here,
Right now.
Taking a deep breath all the way into your belly and then exhaling,
Opening that jaw wide,
Releasing any tension or stress.
One last deep,
Deep breath.
Allowing it to bring some weight to the body and exhaling anything that may have been stuck,
Any stress or tension.
And coming into your natural breathing rhythm,
Feeling grounded and settled.
Nice,
Easy breath.
Easy breathing,
Allowing the mind to quiet.
And now become aware of the darkness behind your eyes,
This still,
Quiet place.
And see if you can look a little deeper inward.
Confidently relaxed and at peace.
Allow yourself to move a little more completely into that place of solitude in the darkness behind your eyes.
This is a sacred space of healing and renewal,
A place where you remember that at the very core of your soul,
You are whole and safe.
Breathing more and more deeply into this sacred space within.
Allow your mind to wander here in the dark,
Quiet.
Feeling calm and centered.
Breathing easily.
Safe in the knowledge that by the very nature of being a soul committed to kindness and peace,
You are safe in the light of love.
You are held in sanctuary,
No matter where you are,
No matter what swirls around you or is out of your control.
You are safe.
You are grounded and whole.
You are connected to a deeper energy and a deeper grace.
And now imagine that you can see yourself sitting comfortably in this dark inner sanctuary.
It is as if you are surrounded by a midnight sky with no moon and no stars.
Just the purest night sky.
Notice that this midnight sky begins to lighten.
Slowly,
This sacred space is being filled with light.
You can feel that light swirling around you,
Tangible,
Surrounding you in warmth and peace.
And notice that this light isn't from a candle or a lamp or even the sun.
Notice that this light comes from within you and is radiating out from you.
Breathe.
See if you can feel this light pulsing gently somewhere in your body.
Where in your body is this light pulsing?
And with your next breath,
Bring your attention to this place in your body where you can feel the light of love pulsing within you.
See this powerful light of love radiating out from you,
Lighting the darkness that surrounds you.
Recognize that this light is not outside of you.
It is you.
And wherever you are,
This protective light of love is.
In every moment you are guided and protected by love.
And you are safe.
In every moment you are guided and protected by the light of love.
And you are safe.
In every moment you are guided and protected by the light of love.
In every moment you are guided and protected by the light of love.
In every moment you are guided and protected by the light of love.
