This is a time for relaxation. Together, We'll take an imaginary walk. On your favorite beach. Make yourself completely comfortable. Adjust your position so you can be fully supported. And let go. Scan your body for any tension. Bring your attention to those tight areas. Invite. The tension. To gradually dissolve. Imagine it melting away with each breath. Allow a deep sense of relaxation. To spread through your entire body. Let's take a few slow, Deep breaths here. Breathe in. Relaxation. Breathe out tension and fatigue. Feel your body sinking deeper and deeper. Into the surface beneath you. Now imagine a warm. Bright afternoon. You take a quiet walk on your favorite beach. The path to the ocean is surrounded. By golden bushes. Everything smells of sea and sun. Butterflies. Flying. Above flowered stems. And their pollen. Drifts lazily in the afternoon sunshine. A salty ocean breeze gently touches your face. And the afternoon sun warms your skin. And paints the landscape in a hue of deep gold. The endless blue sky holds just a few white clouds. Nearby you hear the gentle rustling of tall palm trees. In the distance. You see seagulls glide over the blue water. Their soft cries blend with the rolling waves. Creating a perfect. Tranquil Orchestra. You arrive at the beach. The sand is pure white. And incredibly soft. And it stretches endlessly in both directions. And you notice that you're completely alone. On your own private beach. You decide to slip off your shoes and walk barefoot. The grains of warm sand gently massage your feet. The sound of the waves washing against the shore. Fills your awareness. Peaceful. You walk slowly along the seashore. Once in a while you bend down to pick up a shining seashell. You decide to stop and rest. And you spot a bench. You sit down. Gaze out at the sea. Watch the rhythmic motion of the waves rolling onto the shore. Everything is perfect. This gorgeous coast. Sand. The waves. Palm trees. And the seagulls. Belong to you. In this moment. You feel entirely peaceful. At one with everything around you. Time slows. To a complete halt. Allow your mind to drift. Carried by this deep peaceful tranquility. Now let's ride the waves. Of each breath. Will match the rhythm of your breath to the rhythm of the waves. As each wave breaks gently against the shore. Rising slowly upward along the beach. Leaving a soft trail of white foam. And then the wave slowly retreats back out to sea. Only to be replaced by another wave. Washing up against the shore. Working its way up the beach. And then slowly drifting back. Out to sea. Allowing the motion of the wave. The motion of your breath. Gliding in. And gliding out. You find yourself feeling more and more relaxed. This rhythm creates. Absolute stillness within you. Now let's take this moment. For your own intention. Allow it to arise from this place of deep Relax. Stillness. Picture it in your mind. And imagine that you're planting. A seed of intention. In. This calm and restful place within. Begin to notice the sun is sinking lower now on the horizon. As the sky shifts into brilliant colors. Red. Orange. Golden yellow. Son. Begins to set. You feel completely soothed. All of the sights and sounds leave you feeling deeply calm and refreshed and relaxed. And you allow your intention. To retreat back out into the sea. Come to fruition in its own time. But notice how deeply relaxed your mind and body feel. Can come back to this beach whenever. You lie. To relax. Renew. And recharge. When you're ready. Gently bring your awareness back. To the room. Notice the environment around you. Invite your muscles to awaken. Slowly. Open your eyes. Shrug your shoulders. Thank you for meditating with me.
