Lie down comfortably and close your eyes.
Let your arms rest slightly away from the body,
Palms up.
Release anything that may be tugging at your attention and allow yourself to be fully present.
Right here,
Right now.
Take your awareness to your breath.
Notice it moving in and out of your body.
Feel the chest rise and fall with each breath.
Relax your shoulders.
Relax your jaw.
Relax your face.
Allow your entire body to relax.
Keep your breathing smooth and steady.
Listen to the rhythmic sound of your breath as it moves in and out of your body,
Like ocean waves.
Imagine it's a warm summer's day,
The sun is shining overhead,
And a gentle breeze caresses your skin.
You're walking through the cool green grass,
Your feet are bare,
And you feel every point where your feet touch down on the grass.
As you walk,
The sun warms your back,
And a delicious scent of fragrant blossoms surrounds you.
You place a soft blanket on the ground below a shady tree.
You lie down on the blanket to rest.
Sunlight dances across your eyelids each time the leaves overhead rustle in the wind.
The golden glow of the sun on your eyelids is nourishing,
Relaxing.
You feel more relaxed than you have in a long time.
You feel this luscious radiant warmth filling your entire being,
Like liquid gold permeating every cell.
You remember that the same radiant light shines in the core of your being.
This pure energy within you is the energy of love,
Joy,
Enthusiasm,
Creativity,
Play,
Wisdom,
Abundance,
And deepest peace.
The golden glow within you expands and embraces the radiant warmth surrounding you.
Feel how you are held by the ground below you.
See yourself as safe and healed and whole with all of your needs provided for.
Feel your body relax even more.
With each inhale,
Draw in a deeper sense of well-being.
With each exhale,
Release worries,
Fears,
And anything else that isn't serving your highest good.
With each breath,
Your entire being grows more radiant.
Your heart feels lighter.
You feel as if you are floating or flying.
As you continue to rest in this beautiful place of well-being,
Imagine you are surrounded by a circle of healing energy.
You might see this as a color or just light.
Notice how every part of you begins to sparkle.
You have returned to your natural state.
This state of joy,
Peace,
And well-being is your birthright.
Know that you can return to this place and access these feelings at any time.
Place your hand over your heart and say,
I allow these feelings of well-being.
I accept these feelings of well-being.
I deserve these feelings of well-being.
I now claim this for myself.
Rest here for just a few more moments.
Allow it to become even deeper,
Even brighter.
The tree above you sways gently in the breeze,
Bringing your awareness back into this moment.
You can begin to wiggle your fingers and toes,
Or take any stretch that feels good to you.
Take a deep breath in.
Place both hands over the heart to seal in this practice and all of its benefits.
And when you are ready,
You can gently open your eyes.
May you carry the sense of relaxation and well-being into the rest of your day.
