Evening Springtime Take a deep breath and prepare to relax as you settle your shoulders and soften your gaze. You are listening to Find a Safe Space after Receiving a Diagnosis, A meditation in the Nocturne series, Which is a song of deep breaths to support healing through ongoing health challenges. I invite you to unwind as if you were being held in a safe and loving embrace. You have received a diagnosis and in this moment you may feel the gravity of uncertainty or a pull towards fear. It's all right. All feelings and sensations are allowed. Let them come and go like a cooling zephyr. Perhaps you can feel that gentle breeze even now in this moment as it moves across the tops of your shoulders, Settling them down as you softly and slowly flutter your eyes, Blinking once, Blinking twice, Blinking three times. You feel the ginger touch of ease spread around the circumference of each eye, First the right eye. The tender skin surrounding your right eye begins to soften, Releasing its tension into the slow and soft wind, A healing wind that has color. Perhaps you can see or sense that color now as that healing zephyr brushes past your right eye, Carrying away the tension and smoothing the surface. Now, You bring attention to the left eye. The wind feels like gossamer wings as it moves around your left eye, Filling the space of the eye with color and as the heaviness there dissipates, Let yourself step into your body now as if it were a room. Where is this room? Take a moment and feel, Begin to open within, Observing where you want to enter this somatic space, Your body. Is there a door in the space just behind your heart? Or will you find this room within the fluid territory of the hips? Does a room open deep in your stomach? Or will a small space grow between the clavicles? Take a moment to move your awareness into this safe and comfortable room. Outside this room, The cool and relaxing zephyr begins to softly whistle, Relax. Follow its wisps of color as it glides into the room within, Filling that space with assurance like wind rustling through leaves. Relax. Nothing needs to be solved in this moment. Relax. Nothing is required of you in this moment. Take a deep breath in through your nose, Letting breath like a zephyr spread through the body. Breathe. Exhale slowly. Breathe in the calming color and fragrance of the wind as it expands through each part of the body, Letting your breath like a breeze. Relax. Here in this breezy room, You allow your worries, Your heavy feelings to be buoyed, Just like a leaf drifting on the smooth surface of a lake. You watch as each concern elevates, Moving slowly upward and outward. Release toward the windows of the room. Let your breath gather with the wind, Fluttering each nameless worry toward the windows. Inhale now. Breathe. Your worries away. Stay in this safe and relaxing room as long as you would like. There's no rush. There's always a room just like this one, Waiting for you when you need it. Come back to it anytime. As this meditation winds down, Take one more deep inhalation. Breathe. And exhale. Please repeat the following words with me, Either silently or out loud. There is safe space in my body. There is safe space in my body. There is safe space
