For safety reasons,

Do not listen to this meditation while driving,

Operating machinery,

Or doing anything other than sitting in a safe environment.

Now that you're sitting down and comfortable,

Just close your eyes and allow yourself to be as lazy as you want to be.

You can allow yourself to relax now or later,

And maybe shuffle where you sit and allow yourself to become even more comfortable than you already were.

And I know you're listening for a purpose,

And that is to let go of the worries and stresses and anxieties you may have felt and to relax now.

And you are probably aware that relaxation starts with controlling your breathing.

So allow yourself to take a deep breath in through your nose.

Hold and exhale and hold.

And in through the nose and hold and exhale and hold.

And once more in all the way down to your belly and hold and exhale.

Down into relaxation as your breathing returns to its most comfortable rate.

Using your toes to relax,

Your ankles to relax,

Your legs and knees to relax,

Your pelvis and hips to relax,

Your stomach,

Chest and back to relax now.

Your arms and hands and fingers to just relax.

Relax your neck,

Your head and all the muscles in your face.

Just relax down into that peaceful,

Deep relaxation that you have craved.

And allow your mind to relax down deeper,

Deeper,

Down.

That's perfect.

And as you sink into that deeper relaxation,

Use your powerful imagination to imagine a staircase leading down in front of you with 10 wide,

Safe steps down.

Ten steps down to perfect relaxation.

Ten steps down to the peace and contentment that you deserve.

Ten steps down to a magical world.

And you can choose to stay here in the conscious world and hold on to your worries and stresses and anxieties.

Or you can choose in a moment to make your way down the steps to the relaxation you know you want.

And as you carefully make your way down the steps,

I'll count them down with you.

Ten.

Take that first step towards ultimate relaxation.

Nine.

At the bottom you can make out the doorway.

Eight.

Seven.

Feel that relaxation deepening as you make your way down.

Six.

Five.

Relaxation doubling with every step down.

Four.

Deeper and deeper.

Three.

All the way down to the last step.

One.

In front of you is a grand doorway to that magical world.

Your magical world.

A magical forest where you can learn about even deeper relaxation and inner peace and calm.

And when you are ready to allow this relaxation,

Peace and calm into your life,

Reach out and open the door and step into your magical forest now.

That's right.

And become aware of all that surrounds you.

Most beautiful and magical forest you've ever seen.

Filled with enchanted trees and majestic plants.

Even the ground feels magical beneath your feet.

As if you're absorbing its stillness just because your feet are connected to it.

You may be able to see the animals and creatures of this peaceful forest or not.

And you may be able to sense the life energy all around you.

And it is so calm and filled with love and joy in this peaceful realm.

And you can take a moment to enjoy and absorb the energies of this wonderfully magical place.

And as you stand in this magical forest,

A mystical breeze of calm sweeps past you and through you.

And on the currents of the flow is a whisper of a message for you and just for you.

A message that is carried by the winds from afar to your ear.

A message of wisdom.

A message of how you can let go of worry from your life now and into the future.

And allow yourself to accept this message whatever it may be.

Words spoken or written.

Imagery of some kind.

Maybe a symbolic message or a feeling.

Whatever it is,

Know that it is right for you.

And allow that message to come to you and integrate within you now.

And the calming breeze continues to move over you and through you.

Blowing away any last worries that you may have had.

And the breeze becomes more intense as it gets rid of every last worry you were once holding onto.

And allow yourself to let go now.

And the breeze is refreshing as every last remnant of worry you once had is let free and carried off by the wind and away.

As they disappear deep,

Deep into the forest.

Far,

Far away where they will be dispersed and cleansed of their energies by the magical qualities of this magical forest.

And you may feel lighter now without them.

And what a relief to have allowed yourself to let them go.

As the breeze calms to a gentle soothing flow of calming,

Soothing air moving over you and through you.

And you may choose to forget to remember them or remember to forget them completely now.

And how easy that is.

That's right.

And I was wondering if you knew and I'm sure that you do because you are here and not there.

Don't you think that in this magical forest of yours I know that you know how easy it is to relax.

And that there is a special tree,

A magical tree,

An ancient tree that has the secrets to calm all the anxieties you may have had.

It may be close or it may be far and you can reach out with your energy and find that magnificent calming tree and go to it now and know that you can walk there or simply wish yourself to be there instantly.

And just go there now and know that the tree that you arrive at is the right tree for you.

And take a moment to become familiar with this ancient majestic tree in front of you.

This magical tree,

Whatever kind of tree it is,

This tree with the secret you need to calm anxiety.

And notice if it's surrounded by other trees and plants or does it stand alone in its magnificence.

Notice how tall it is as it reaches for the sky and how wide and sturdy the trunk is to support it.

And notice if there are other animals or magical creatures living amongst its branches and leaves.

And notice how calm it is and how peaceful it is and how a sense of tranquility emanates outward from this majestic tree.

This pillar of calm and confidence as it stands in this magical forest where it has possibly stood for eons soaking up all of the wisdom it needs to achieve this magical state of peace and calm.

And simply by being present with this ancient being of calm you too can absorb all of that wisdom for being calm and at peace.

And know that this magical tree has a message for you.

A secret message,

A message of how you can let go of all the anxieties that were in your life.

Let go of them and replace them with a calm confidence.

And you may want to put your hand upon the tree to receive the message or simply absorb the message through its energy.

Or maybe this magical tree will talk directly to you.

However the message is delivered allow yourself to accept it and allow the message to integrate into you now.

That's right.

And know that just by being in the presence of this magical tree,

This calm and confident tree that any anxieties you once had easily float away as this tree fills you with confidence and an even deeper sense of calm.

And as those anxieties you once felt float off into the distant forest they disappear deep deep into the forest far far away where they will be dispersed and cleansed of their energies by the magical qualities of the magical forest.

And you may feel calmer now without them and what a relief to have allowed yourself to let them go.

And this magical majestic tree shares with you its calming confidence as it flows down over you and through you and you may choose to forget to remember them or remember to forget them completely now.

And how easy that is.

That's right.

And sometimes it's nice to sit under the majestic tree of great calm and sometimes it's nice to move on to the refreshing grasses and in the center of this magical forest is a magical oasis of the luscious freshest grass you could ever imagine and you could travel there if you wanted perhaps by walking or maybe just wishing yourself to be there now and find yourself in the middle of a beautiful clearing surrounded by the softest luscious fresh grass you could imagine and it's so soft that you could just laying down and looking up through the long vibrant blades towards the clear sky and watching the fluffy clouds pass over as you imagine the shapes they could be.

Maybe that cloud looks like a horse galloping free and that one could be an ancient mystical beast roaming the skies without a care and while you're making shapes out of the clouds you notice that all of the stress and tension you once had are leaving your body and you wonder if it is the magical effects of the magical grass in this magical forest or the tranquil effects of the fluffy clouds passing over or maybe you simply decide to let them go and allow yourself this time of perfect tranquility in this magical place and as they leave you notice the refreshing and rejuvenating elements of the grass filling the space left behind soothing and refreshing every part of all of you and as you lay here in this magical oasis of lush revitalizing grass the clouds tell you a story a story of tranquility and inner peace and how they become part of your everyday life and allow this story to wash over you and through you and integrate within you and become part of you and who you are and just enjoy this moment in this magical place absorbing all that it has to offer you as time loses all meaning where a minute or forever could be the same.

And while you've been there in this magical place you may not have noticed the magical lights that have surrounded you these are the forest spirits that glow as tiny lights that have come to impart their gifts upon you there are the tree spirits that resonate calm and wisdom the wind spirits that bring freedom and refreshment the mountain spirits that are charged with great strength and courage the river spirits that harness great power and determination and the earth spirits that flow with empathy and kindness and then there is the great spirit of life that is filled with an overwhelming love for all and as you notice all the magical spirits they swirl around you in a vortex of light lifting you up and sharing their gifts with you giving you a great sense of calm and wisdom freedom and refreshment strength and courage great power and determination empathy and kindness and from that spirit of life gives you an amazing sense of love and as they swirl around you they fill you completely with that sense of calm wisdom freedom refreshment strength courage power determination empathy kindness and great love all of these qualities filling you and becoming one within you and other spirits join from all directions with other gifts filling you with all the qualities that you may need or want and it is a magnificent experience as all of these spirits lift you up up into the air imparting their gifts upon you and eventually they bring you back down and slowly disperse in all directions their gifts now part of you and as you stand in this oasis of magical beauty you may wonder if perhaps you could ever return here and you know that you can because this magical world with all of the magical qualities and all of the magical gifts that have been bestowed upon you were always part of you all along and it is your powerful and magical mind that has created this world and given you all that you need and because it is a world of your creation you can return to it whenever you wish simply by closing your eyes breathing slowly and wishing yourself here and there may be different messages and there may be different gifts but they will always be what you need in the times that you need them and now that you have received all of these wonderful gifts from this magical forest you may find that you need some time to simply relax and allow them all to integrate fully within you so take a moment or maybe two and just allow yourself to relax in this magical place and you may want to relax in the lush grass or relax under the canopy of the ancient tree or maybe you relax best by walking around exploring this magical place even more or maybe by floating up into the sky and flying high amongst the stories of the clouds however you best relax allow yourself this time now and just relax that's right and as amazing as this magical place is it is now time to return to the waking world and know that you can bring all of what you've gained with you so wherever you are in this magical place return now to the doorway that leads to the stairs that lead back to the awakened world find your way back to the doorway now and when you are ready step through now and as you step through remember to close the door behind you as this magical place is for you and you alone in a moment it will be time to make your way back up the steps and return to waking consciousness I will count as you make your way back up the ten steps to being fully alert and awake from one to ten and when you reach the top step open your eyes and be wide awake fully alert and rejuvenated and feeling amazing in every way one take that first step two your awareness is starting to return three four become aware of your breathing and allow it to return to normal five six become aware of your body arms and legs as you sit seven eight take a deep breath in clearing your chest and lungs nine your eyes refreshing as if being cleansed by a cool mountain stream ten eyes open wide awake and fully alert feeling totally rejuvenated refreshed and amazing in every way and you do feel amazing don't you?

Beautiful visualization 💗

Such a great journey into calmness! Well done. Will listen again.

Amazing. Thank you. So what I needed and feeling magical now. Namaste.

Beautiful journey 🙏

I have never felt that relaxed before or at peace within myself. I have serious financial problems due to ill health and divorce and my anxiety and stress levels are mostly on high alert 🚨 for impending danger , homelessness , etc and my mind carries on . I left that all behind in the enchanted forest. It truly worked for me . I will use this often as I allow my mind to allow stress to take me over completely and it’s not healthy .
Thank you so very much .

An amazing and calming forest journey. Your voice is so soothing and I have never felt better. Thank you.
