Take a moment to get comfortable and arrive with your whole self,
Your body and mind,
Emotions and energy.
Feel deeper into this moment right here,
Right now.
Gently bringing your awareness to your breath,
To the rise and fall of your chest as you inhale and exhale.
Your body relaxing a little deeper with each and every breath,
Slowing everything down,
Letting go of any tension,
Softening and relaxing any area of the body where you might be holding on,
Dropping your shoulders,
Relaxing your entire body from head to toe,
Letting everything go.
Deeply embodied and calm,
Centered and at peace,
Deeper and deeper,
More and more relaxed,
Letting go of all your thoughts and all your cares,
More and more relaxed.
And now imagine yourself gently floating in the most soothing,
Healing waters.
You might be somewhere out in nature,
In a calm ocean,
A serene lake or a gently embracing river.
It could even be a smaller indoor space such as a bathtub,
A float tank,
Anywhere you can float gently,
Perfectly buoyant and weightless.
Allow this healing water to be the perfect temperature for your ultimate relaxation and healing.
And as you float there in this beautiful water,
Once again,
Bring your awareness to the natural rhythm of your breath,
To the inhale and the exhale.
Begin to lengthen and deepen each and every breath,
Breathing in deeply,
Exhaling completely.
Then as you slow down and deepen your breath,
You become aware that this slowing down and deepening is sending messages of safety and calm to your nervous system,
Allowing you to relax even deeper.
With each and every breath,
You notice the feelings of relaxation deepen as these healing waters fully support you.
You are suspended in the most exquisite weightlessness,
Feeling lighter and lighter the longer you float.
All of your body's tension is melting away,
Letting go of any stress,
Worry or fear,
Letting go of anything you might be holding on to that no longer serves you,
Letting it all float away.
Feel your body's natural release sinking deeper and deeper into relaxation and rest.
Your whole self knows it is safe to relax and let go.
You are held and supported by these healing waters.
With your ears immersed in the water,
Notice there is a beautiful stillness,
A quiet space for you to feel at peace.
Perhaps you also hear the gentle lapping of the water,
Moving in a perfect rhythm to support your optimal relaxation.
And if you're outside in this healing water,
Perhaps you feel the warmth of the sun and its healing rays shining down upon you.
You are so relaxed now,
Your body floating,
Totally weightless and lighter than you've ever experienced before.
The boundaries begin to blur between your body and the water as you become one with everything around you.
You feel completely weightless and free with nothing left to hold on to.
You can let it all go,
Letting the water carry it all away to be transformed so that you can remain weightless and free.
Just floating and drifting,
Suspended in the water,
The vast beautiful bright blue sky above you,
An endless space around you.
You feel expanded and free as your body continues to soften and relax with each passing breath.
You are now floating as one with this healing water,
Feeling the peacefulness and weightlessness as you float.
Knowing you can return to this place of inner peace and calm,
Deep relaxation and weightlessness where you are totally unburdened.
You may bring on one hand your thumb and forefinger together,
Allowing this deep relaxation to be anchored into your body through bringing your thumb and forefinger together.
You anchor in this memory,
This feeling of being completely held,
Supported,
And healed.
Taking a deep breath in and remembering what it feels like so you know you can come back to this place of peace anytime you need.
Any moment throughout your day,
You can bring yourself right back here,
Coming back to your center,
Coming back home to you deeply relaxed and at peace.
You're now slowly bringing yourself back to this moment and into your body,
Wiggling your fingers and toes,
Rolling your shoulders,
Rolling your neck,
And whenever you are ready,
Slowly returning back to your day.
