As most first responders know.
Our location influences our experience.
So finding a comfortable place.
Away from distractions.
Is a great way to start this meditation.
Sitting or lying down now.
You can begin to pay attention to your breathing.
And you can begin to bring that breath in a little longer,
All the way in,
And then all the way out.
Letting the air fully out.
Long,
Slow breaths in… and out.
Slowing Down Your Thoughts slowing down your breath.
Slowing down even this very moment.
Just letting everything slow down a little more.
And breathe in through your nose if it's comfortable.
And begin to feel the increasing weight of your eyelids.
Understand there's nothing you have to do here.
And as you listen to my words.
You might notice how your body responds.
Almost.
Effortlessly to these suggestions.
Letting your eyes close.
Breathing slowly and easily.
As this relaxation.
Deepens and spreads.
Deeper and deeper down.
Spreading all throughout your body.
And just let yourself continue to drift down into this easy comfort.
As a wave of relaxation flows from the top of your head.
All the way down to your toes.
All these suggestions will be very effective.
And you can rest assured that this will be a pleasant experience.
Bringing benefits to you.
In unexpected ways.
Just breathing easily and comfortably now.
Eyes closed.
That's right.
And as you keep drifting down.
You might imagine.
That in front of you is a long hallway.
Stretching out far away.
And you can begin to go down this long hallway.
Further down.
Deeper down.
And at the very end.
There is an elevator.
An elevator.
To take you down into your wonderful imagination.
Because you can imagine.
Or just pretend you can imagine.
As you move closer to the elevator.
That all this is happening.
Inside your imagination.
And in a moment.
You'll be going deeper down.
Getting closer and closer to the elevator.
And you can notice now.
The doors opening.
Inviting you in.
Feel yourself step in.
And notice the doors closing behind you.
The elevator begins to go down,
Further and further down.
Into the velvety blackness of your imagination.
Down to a place where Imagining is easy.
And natural.
Down to a place where you are comfortable and safe.
And all the way down to a place so inviting and welcoming.
A place where you can find pleasant.
Easy contentment.
Whether you see it.
Or just feel it,
It doesn't matter.
Traveling down even further now.
You might arrive somewhere that's old and familiar.
To a place you know well.
Somewhere safe and comforting with positive memories.
Or perhaps.
.
.
It's somewhere unexplored.
Somewhere that you've only dreamed of.
Either way,
The elevator is slowing.
In this place in your imagination.
Is waiting for you now.
And as the elevator stops.
And the doors open.
You can step out into this welcoming place.
With everything designed.
Just for you.
Here you are.
You can explore easily.
Because there is nothing to bother you.
Nothing to disturb you.
Nothing to get in your way.
You can let my voice fade into the background as you go deeper into this wonderful sense of belonging.
And my words can drift with you.
To become part of your experience now.
You might notice how the light illuminates.
How the temperature is just right for you.
And as you take your time to enjoy these moments.
You can begin to let go of any unnecessary worries.
Any unnecessary hurt or pain.
Or anything that isn't serving your best interest.
Your unconscious mind knows just what has been a burden for you.
And will guide you to help release anything.
That's no longer needed.
It's here in this place.
That you can let go of any thoughts or feelings that you don't need anymore.
All the while you can just relax and enjoy the easiness here.
The deepening contentment.
The melting away of cares and concerns.
Because as they all dissolve.
You can allow this comfortable space.
To open up a little more in you.
Like sunlight.
Filtering through the leaves.
Letting more light in.
And you might notice how easy it is to breathe in this openness.
How much lighter you feel.
Like bathing in sunlight.
Streaming in and filling all the small spaces.
Ever expanding.
Becoming even brighter.
And lighter.
Unburdened.
So free,
So easy and natural.
Opening to new opportunities.
And you can enjoy this.
Meant just for you.
Shining through with clear,
Positive energy.
And you can use this energy in any way that's best for you.
Your unconscious knows what you need.
And you can take your time.
And in a moment,
But not yet.
You'll step away from this place,
And just like puzzle pieces finally shifting into place,
You can adjust all you've learned here so it all fits perfectly.
Your beautiful imagination,
Helping you to align your needs.
In ways that's just right for you.
And as you say goodbye to this place for now.
You'll remember it's always welcoming.
Always inviting.
Just waiting for you whenever you want.
And as you bring these new understandings away with you,
You will return to a waking state on the count of five.
One,
Arriving easily to a new understanding.
2.
Everything settling in like the last piece of a puzzle.
Three.
Coming together smoothly as you reorient to a wakeful state.
Four.
Rising up to the surface,
Breathing fresh,
Clean air,
And five,
Eyes wide open,
Awake,
Feeling better than before.
