It is far better to be alone than to wish you were.
Anne Landers Make yourself comfortable wherever you are.
Get as comfortable as you can.
Whether sitting or lying down.
And when you're ready,
Close your eyes and take a few long and deep breaths.
Allow yourself to relax,
Your body and your mind to settle.
Now take a few more long and deep breaths while getting ready for a beautiful journey.
Now I want you to imagine you are in a peaceful mountaintop cabin.
Small and cozy,
Made of big old tree trunks,
Looks so inviting and warm.
Outside the air is crisp and the view is simply breathtaking.
You admire the view right in front of you while the cabin stands right behind you.
This cabin is your sanctuary.
It's a place where you can find peace and reconnect with yourself.
You move your eyes away from the beautiful view,
Turn around and walk inside the cabin.
As you walk in,
You notice a large,
Comfortable armchair by a roaring fireplace.
It looks so comfortable.
You sit down in the chair,
Feeling its warmth and support.
You feel like this is your safe space,
Where you can explore your thoughts and your feelings without judgment.
Take a deep breath in,
Filling your lungs with the fresh mountain air.
And exhale any stress,
Any tension or worries.
And allow yourself to sink deeper into relaxation with each breath.
You are enjoying sitting right in front of the fireplace.
And now you turn your gaze toward your left side and you notice a small coffee table,
A journal and pen resting on the table.
This is a brand new journal.
A journal is a place for your thoughts,
Reflections and intentions.
You pick the journal up and open it.
There is a blank page in front of you.
This page represents the present moment.
It is free from all past regrets and all future anxieties.
With your pen,
You start writing down your intentions for embracing solitude.
What do you wish to discover about yourself?
How do you want to grow in your relationship with yourself?
Now please repeat silently or out loud after me.
I embrace solitude with an open heart.
I find peace and joy in my own company.
I am the only one I need to be complete.
Feel the warmth and comfort of this peaceful solitude growing within you.
Let it expand,
Touching every part of your being.
As you sit in this cozy cabin,
Allow your mind to wander to a recent experience of solitude.
What did you learn about yourself?
How did it make you feel?
Imagine closing your journal and placing it with the pen back on the coffee table.
You stand up and walk towards a large window.
This window is looking out at the stunning mountain landscape.
The view is breathtaking,
Reminding you of the beauty and peace that comes from being alone.
As you take in this view,
Feel a sense of calm and clarity washing over you.
You know that you can return to this cabin anytime you need to find peace and anytime you want to reconnect with yourself.
When you are ready,
Slowly bring your awareness back to the present.
Back to the room you are in right now.
And open your eyes.
Carry this sense of peaceful solitude with you as you go about your day.
From my heart to yours,
With all my love and gratitude.
Namaste.
