Hello beautiful and welcome to this soothing practice that's designed for you to release,

Relax and wind up your day with a peaceful heart,

Body and mind.

In a gentle visualization I'm inviting you to become present and embrace tranquility as you release any attention seeking energies from your day.

So if you are ready to breathe,

Release and surrender,

Let's take any comfortable position your body wishes to relax into right now and then let us start,

Beautiful,

There you are.

Just take note of yourself,

The way you are here right now,

Perceive your breath,

Perceive how you're feeling right now,

What's moving within your thoughts,

Your feelings,

And your body's messages being sent to you,

What's your body telling you about your current state of being and let this be non-judgmental,

Let this just be the moment where you can arrive,

Observe and recognize.

And with your next exhale just let go,

Let go of everything that's trying to tell you,

You should be feeling this right now,

You should be doing that right now,

You should be thinking less,

You should be breathing more calmly,

Any energy of pressuring should,

Just exhale and with your next inhale invite the truth,

That reminder within that you are doing great,

Invite that reminder that you are proud of yourself,

You're proud of what you created today,

You are proud of giving it your best today,

Knowing that your best is always enough and your best has so many colors,

So many faces,

Just know that you really gave your today's best enough.

And exhale out,

Beautiful,

There you are and know that with your next breath you are going to choose that from this moment,

From this breath,

There will be nothing that you will have to do today anymore,

There will be nothing that needs to be done,

That should be done,

You have done everything for today.

And from your next exhale it will be just receiving,

Surrendering,

Calming,

Re-centering what wants to be re-centered without forcing,

Without pushing anything.

So inhale and as you exhale send that fresh air into your body,

Let it be the messenger of your choice,

Sending that information that you just chose into every cell of your being,

Into your belly,

Into your legs,

Into your feet and with your next exhale really send that energy through your feet and just watch your feet opening up,

They need to really not hold on to anything anymore,

They don't need to find safety in places that maybe didn't feel safe for you today,

They don't need to struggle to ground in places that is full of duty and responsibility.

With your next exhale open up your feet and really release whatever energy you have been holding there,

Allow them to naturally open as they are gates towards the earth,

Gates that can open and close and whenever you open them you release,

You allow them to let go and trust,

Surrendering into the arms of Mother Earth and your grounding forces welcoming you with energies of unconditional love,

Trust and comfort.

Beautiful,

Now for some of you it might be quite helpful to physically support your feet,

So you might want to massage the soles of your feet a little bit,

Maybe your ankles,

Maybe stretching them,

Stretching your toes into both directions,

Really feeling the energy that's released from your feet,

Your body doesn't have to hold on to anything anymore and whenever we give that permission to our feet,

The whole body can follow.

Take all the time here with physical support or just a visualization of that cleansing flow of energy coming from the earth and you choose intuitively is it more like a fiery energy,

Is it water,

Is it earth,

Is it more like an airy,

Colorful flow,

See the energy that's ready.

To come to you if you receive it,

To cleanse your feet and to do that work of opening for you,

Feel that energy flowing through the soles of your feet,

Really taking everything with it naturally,

That's not off you,

That's not supportive,

That doesn't serve you with safety,

Trust and a calm way of grounding,

Providing you with freshness,

Peaceful energy,

It's cleansing and calming at the same time,

Reminding you that you are carried,

Provided for and nourished without having to do anything.

Visualize how with every exhale you are sinking deeper and deeper into that cleansing connection into the ground,

Maybe into the earth,

Allow yourself to melt as deeply into these loving arms of mother earth,

As deeply as you wish,

Maybe you find your legs sinking into the ground in your visualization and you can really feel how energy is pulled out of your whole lower body that you've been holding on to today and then let that energy,

That opening energy,

That releasing energy reach your pelvis,

Your hips,

Let it just serve you with its specific quality,

It might be warmth,

It might be coolness,

It might be just that very particular vibration that you can intuitively feel coming,

Nourishing you,

Cleansing you and calming you,

Taking all the energies out of your hips that you've been holding on to,

That have been restricted within your hips,

Within your pelvis,

Emotions,

Fears,

Unsaid words,

Unsaid actions,

The energies of moments where you chose squeezing yourself into an expectation or version of you,

A limiting picture or a limiting belief,

You don't have to go into that mentally,

You can just set that intention and watch,

Watch that energy taking everything from your pelvis,

You just watch,

You feel how your feet open,

Your legs open and your pelvis opens and everything that made you somehow make yourself smaller today than you actually are,

That would actually have been natural to you and comfortable,

Taking everything with it,

That didn't honour your greatness,

Your light and your unique wholeness,

You don't have to hide anymore,

Let go and I'm inviting you to just invite that cleansing energy into any part of your upper body where you feel you really need some support,

You could use some cleansing,

You feel your body is tensed,

Squeezed,

As you sink deeper and deeper into the ground,

Into the arms of Mother Earth,

All you have to do is receive and surrender into the opening that automatically allows all the energies to leave you that have never been of you,

Feel that energy pulsing through you,

Vibrating in the rhythm that Mother Earth is breathing in,

That calm,

Grounded,

Unconditionally trusting force,

Inviting you to calm,

To let go and to trust that you are exactly where you need to be and there's nothing you need to hold in your system that's in any way trying to question that and whenever you feel ready,

You might want to place one hand on your chest,

Feeling your heartbeat as you continue breathing,

As you continue letting go,

As you continue allowing that frequency,

That energy that's coming straight from the heart of the Earth to cleanse you feel yourself and tell yourself something that you would have wished to hear today,

But you didn't give yourself that moment of I see you,

I feel you and I stand with you no matter what give yourself the assurance you desperately waited for today and you never heard it from your friend,

From your lover,

From your colleague just find those loving words that you really wish to hear before ending this day and listen how Mother Earth is repeating them listen how Mother Earth is taking over,

Telling you exactly what you need to hear,

Sending you the exact love that you need right now,

Just listen let her words,

Her frequencies,

Her rhythms,

Her pulses fill your heart and body as your mind lets go,

As your mind changes from a state of expectation to a state of receiving trusting,

Just having what's there,

You are loved and you are exactly where you need to be,

Not more,

Not less is expected from you you are right on time,

You are carried and you are loved with all your enoughness continue breathing here,

Continue receiving the gift of Mother Earth,

The opening,

The melting,

The cleansing and the surrendering you might want to bring the palms of your hand also down towards the ground and let the palms of your hands be cleansed as well,

Be opened as well so that anything that might still be heavy on your chest or your shoulders,

Your neck,

Can just be invited to flow out,

To leave you through your hands into the ground allowing your shoulders to sink deeper,

To drop away from your ears,

Allowing your back to release,

Your shoulders,

Your wings let them rest for today,

There you are,

Giving yourself into this moment,

Giving your body into the loving connection with Mother Earth who carries you who nourishes you and who holds you safely now,

For this night and for every coming moment you can stay here for as long as you wish,

You slowly breathe yourself back from this trance,

Not giving up the opening of your body having it and embracing it with every little movement you might want to start,

With every breath knowing that you've given enough and all that remains to do is rest I wish for you a most peaceful,

Loving and grounded night,

That you are loved within your heart,

Within your mind and within your body may you know that you are enough,

That you are carried no matter what,

Have a lovely,

Peaceful night ahead,

Thank you
