Allow your body to feel comfortable and relaxed.
Sit in a chair with your back supported and your feet flat on the ground.
Or lie on your back.
Adjust your position until you feel calm and at peace.
And when you are ready gently close your eyes.
Let's take a long slow deep breath in through your nose.
Depose at the top of your inhale and release through your mouth.
Another long slow deep breath in.
Pause at the top for a count of 2,
1 and let go.
One more long slow deep breath in.
Pause at the top for a count of 2,
1 and slowly release.
Allow your breathing to return with no more rhythm and become peaceful and calm.
Begin scanning your body from the top of your head all the way to your face,
Your neck,
Your shoulders,
Your arms,
Your chest,
Your upper back,
Your middle back,
Your abdomen,
Your lower back,
Your tummy,
Your hips,
Your upper legs,
Your knees,
Your lower legs,
Your ankles,
Your feet.
What do you feel in your body right now?
Staying on the breath,
Breathing in and out gently and slowly.
Your mind will try and feed you thoughts.
That's okay,
That's what the mind does.
You have permission to let go of your thoughts.
You don't have to interact with them.
Simply watch them as they come and move away like beautiful fluffy clouds in the sky.
I invite you to imagine that you are in your most favourite place and you are very happy and relaxed.
Everything is silent and calm.
You feel secure and safe.
Whilst you are enjoying this beautiful peaceful moment,
Allow yourself to go deeper and deeper.
Yes that's right,
You remember now.
How good is your appetite?
You enjoy your food so much.
Allow the food you eat to nourish your body,
Your mind and your soul.
You have always had a good relationship with your food.
Allow your love for food to deeply enter your conscious mind,
Your subconscious mind and your unconscious mind.
In your mind's eye,
I invite you to visualize that you are having your most favourite meal,
Surrounded by the people you love and the most beautiful place on earth.
There is so much beauty and love around you.
From the food you eat to the people you are with,
To the nature that's lush and peaceful.
You are very happy and relaxed.
And the food you eat right now is tingling your taste buds and make you want more and more.
It's absolutely delicious.
What does it taste like?
What is the taste you are experiencing in your mouth right now?
You are having another bite and it tastes even more delicious now.
And now you remember how much you love your food.
Notice how your body feels right now.
And see openness and spaciousness in your physical body.
It's inviting you to eat and enjoy your food.
How are you feeling right now?
Perhaps relaxed and happy?
Or perhaps hungry and eager to eat more food that's nourishing your body and your heart?
Staying on the breath,
Breathing in and out.
Feeling relaxed and open.
Take this opportunity to let go of your needs and perceptions.
Just allow your body to enjoy fresh,
Warm and comforting food.
