Take a moment to get settled either sitting or lying down or standing if you feel called to.
Place pillows under your knees or under your head.
Maybe pause this recording for a moment to find any pillows or props you may need to make yourself more comfortable.
And once you feel comfortable and supported,
Take a breath in through your nose,
Hold it for a moment before gently exhaling with a sigh.
And breathe in again with a gentle pause,
A moment of stillness and release.
And one more time in through your nose.
Hold it a moment longer.
And exhale with a sigh.
Settle in a little bit deeper.
Close your eyes or have a soft gaze.
And allow the muscles of your feet and ankles to relax.
Release any tightness in your calves and shins.
Relax your knees.
Loosen your thighs and hamstrings.
Relax any tension in your root.
Feel yourself arriving and settling into your grounding.
Relax and soften your belly with a sigh.
Place a hand on your belly.
And another on your heart as you relax and soften your heart space.
Relax your shoulders.
All the little muscles in your neck.
And face.
Around your eyes.
Your scalp.
Open your third eye and your crown to receive.
With each exhale,
Allow more tension to release.
And you find yourself on a path.
Anywhere of your choosing.
Maybe a forest.
A mountaintop.
Of you.
Someplace by the ocean.
This path feels safe.
Perhaps you feel the sunshine dabbling through the leaves.
Are coming across the field as gold and light.
Or through the reeds by the ocean.
A light wind kisses your cheeks,
Lifts your hair in a gentle caress.
Feeling safe and supported on this path.
You see a shelter ahead.
Perhaps it is under a hill.
With rocks around the front to protect the opening.
Make your way toward the shelter.
As you get closer.
Step inside.
And all of your loving guides.
Angels,
Healed ancestors,
Protectors.
Are here.
Waiting to receive you.
Step inside and find a place to sit down and settle down.
Maybe by a pool of water.
Or there is a fire.
You feel comfortable,
Safe and protected in this space.
Step away and see yourself sitting in this space.
As you observe yourself.
Notice a heart-shaped door.
Right over your heart.
You've never seen this door before.
But now it is very clear.
Color.
Shape.
Texture.
Go closer to the store.
Place your hands on it.
Notice how that feels.
The textures.
The shape of the handle.
And open.
Open the heart-shaped door.
To your heart.
And step inside.
If you haven't already made your way back down the path.
Step away to the edge of the shelter.
Offer gratitude to everyone who has guided and supported you.
And kept you safe in your journey to your heart space.
Turn away from the shelter and know that you can come back at any time of your choosing.
And make your way back down the path.
Back home.
To your body.
And take some deeper breaths.
Squeeze your fingers and toes,
Wiggle them.
Begin to move your body a little bit.
Pat your body down until you feel fully present in your physical body.
Breathe yourself into your body.
And take some deeper breaths.
And open your eyes at your own pace.
