I invite you to get into a relaxed position and close your eyes.
And begin to breathe deeply.
Allow your breath to flow through your body like a blessing.
And begin by inviting expansiveness into your heart.
With every breath you take,
Imagine a beautiful green color expanding in your heart space.
If there's any discomfort,
Just notice it and continue to breathe bright green color into your heart.
Imagine a big open sky and your heart connecting to it.
The expansiveness of the sky is reflected in the expansiveness of your heart.
Bring a soft,
Effortless smile to your face,
Your beautiful face.
Bring kindness and love to your face,
Softening and lighting up.
Bring that smile into your eyes and extend kindness and care to your entire being.
And now imagine.
Imagine all the kindness and care you have extended to the people around you over all the years you're around.
To your kids,
Your family members,
Your pets,
Your garden and houseplants,
Your colleagues and patients.
And imagine that kindness and compassion spreading from the people you've taken care of to their family and loved ones.
And from there,
Your kindness moves even farther and farther.
Your kindness and care and compassion has multiplied like the ripples of water on a lake that merge into each other,
Growing outward,
Multiplying,
Growing into the infinite.
And now imagine all these people,
Animals,
Plants,
All the beings you're taking care of,
That they're extending gratitude towards you,
That they bow their head to you,
Hand on their heart,
Expressing appreciation and love.
Even the people you would never imagine hearing from,
That they too are deeply appreciative of you.
Take in this energy of gratitude and praise.
And imagine their gratitude culminating in a celebration of your being,
Of your heart and your spirit.
And now imagine all these people,
Animals,
Plants,
All the beings you're taking care you you you Now bring your attention back to your breathing slowly bring your attention back into the here and now you you when you're ready open your eyes you
