Hello,
My name is Donna and here I am guiding you back to a wonderful sense of calm.
This is your time to settle,
Soften and arrive.
So take a moment to get yourself into the most comfortable position you can.
Allow your body to be supported by whatever you are resting on and then when you are ready gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.
Bring your attention to your breath.
There is no need to change anything,
Simply notice breathing in and breathing out.
With each exhale allow your body to soften a little bit more.
Your shoulders release,
Your jaw loosens,
Your whole body begins to feel calmer,
Heavier and more at ease.
Inviting you to bring your awareness to the base of the spine.
The root chakra.
And if it feels comfortable for you imagining a beautiful flower here.
You might notice the colour as a deep red,
An earthy brown,
A dark green or perhaps another colour entirely.
You may see a clear colour,
A soft glow or simply sense steadiness without any image at all.
From the centre of this chakra roots begin to grow downward.
Strong,
Supportive roots.
Moving through the floor beneath you.
Through the layers of the earth.
And reaching deep into the ground below.
Each petal of this chakra holds a word.
You don't need to hold all of them.
Just notice what resonates.
Safe.
Stable.
Supported.
Courage.
Allow whatever feels right to move down through the roots and then back up into your body.
Now gently shift your awareness.
The sacral chakra.
A flower opens here.
It might appear orange.
Coral.
Soft pink.
Turquoise.
Any colour that feels fluid and alive to you.
It may move.
Shimmer.
Or simply feel warm and present.
From this chakra roots grow downward.
Joining the roots below.
Flexible.
Flowing.
And each petal carries a word.
Creativity.
Pleasure.
Emotional ease.
Permission.
Let these qualities move through you in their own way.
There is nothing to force.
Nothing to achieve.
Inviting you to bring your attention to the upper abdomen.
The solar plexus.
Here a flower blooms.
You might notice it as yellow.
Or a softer shade that feels steady rather than bright.
Trust whatever shows up.
Even if it's really subtle.
From this chakra roots grow downward.
From this chakra the roots extend downward.
Grounding confidence into the earth.
Each petal offers a word.
Strength.
Confidence.
Confidence.
Self trust.
Personal power.
Feel these qualities settling into your centre.
Capable.
Inviting you to gently guide your awareness to the centre of your chest.
The heart chakra.
A flower opens here.
Gently.
It may be green.
Pink.
Rose gold.
Soft white.
Or any colour that feels like balance and care.
It may feel open.
Protected.
Or quietly steady.
Roots grow downward from the heart.
Linking love with grounding.
Love.
Compassion.
With each breath.
Allow what feels right.
Allow the heart to expand.
And allow anything else to soften and release.
Inviting you to bring your awareness to the throat.
The throat chakra.
You might notice blue.
Turquoise.
Or a muted gentle tone that feels safe and clear.
You may also simply sense space or openness.
Roots descend from this chakra.
Supporting expression from deep within.
Each petal contains a word.
Truth.
Expression.
Listening.
Authenticity.
Clarity.
Your voice is supported.
Spoken or unspoken.
It is safe to express in your own way.
Inviting you to bring your awareness to the space between your eyebrows.
The third eye chakra.
A flower forms here.
It may appear indigo.
Deep blue.
Violet.
Or a soft shadowed colour.
That feels calm and wise.
There is no need to see clearly.
Sensing is enough.
Roots grow downward.
Grounding insight into the body.
Each petal offers up a word.
Intuition.
Inspiration.
Insight.
Awareness.
Trust.
There is nothing to figure out.
Just gentle awareness.
Inviting you to bring your attention to the top of the head.
The crown chakra.
A flower opens upward here.
And you might notice violet.
White or gold petals.
Or a clear spacious light.
Or simply a sense of openness.
A connection to the divine.
Even here roots continue downward.
Connecting spacious awareness to the solid ground below.
Each petal offers up a word.
Connection.
Peace.
Peace.
Unity.
Presence.
Stillness.
You are both rooted and open.
Supported and spacious.
Now imagine all these chakras together.
Each with its own colour.
Texture.
Or sensation.
Or simply a feeling of balance.
All the roots intertwined beneath.
Strong.
Steady.
Supportive.
Take a few slow easy breaths.
Breathing in calm.
And breathing out whatever is ready to release.
And once more.
Breathing in calm.
Breathing out.
Release.
And when you are ready.
Bringing an awareness back into the room.
Notice the movement of your chest.
The surface beneath you.
The weight of your blanket or clothes on your skin.
And the breath at the tips of the nostrils.
Cool air flowing in.
And warm air flowing out.
Notice the movement of your arms.
Gently moving your fingers and toes.
And whenever it feels right.
Opening your eyes.
Carry this sense of grounding and choice with you.
You can return to it whenever you need.
Relax.
Thank you for sharing this relaxation with me.
And until next time.
Be gentle with yourself.
