Close your eyes.
Just begin to turn your attention inwards.
Towards yourself,
Towards your own body.
Taking this time out for yourself.
For your own well-being and your own relaxation.
Connecting with the miracle of your own human body.
Whether you are sitting or lying.
Make yourself comfortable.
Feel all the parts of your body in connection with the ground,
Chair or seat.
Feel all those points of connection.
Allow them to ground you and support you.
Bringing your attention.
Passing your attention.
From the top of your body,
Top of your head,
Down to the tips of your toes.
Mentally scanning passing your attention,
Your awareness over every single part of your body.
As your awareness passes over each part of your body.
Becomes instantly relaxed.
All the way down,
Down,
Down to your feet and your toes and back up again with your legs.
Midsection,
Shoulders,
Neck,
Face,
Head.
Bringing your attention to your breath.
Breathing in and out through your nose.
Just following your breath to begin with.
Following the breath as it enters and leaves your nostrils.
Not trying to force anything,
Not trying to control anything.
As much as possible,
Just observing and witnessing.
Breath entering and leaving the body.
Down into the lungs,
Out into your body.
From your body back to your lungs,
Back out into the world.
Smooth wave like motion to your breath.
Each inhale breathing in life force,
Breathing in vitality,
Breathing in prana,
Breathing in chi,
Breathing in energy to your body.
Energizing and vitalizing your body with every inhale.
Every exhale cleansing your body,
Detoxing your body,
Breathing out tension,
Breathing out stress,
Relaxing your body,
Softening your body with every exhale.
Breathing in life force,
Breathing out toxins and tension.
And feel your body soften with each breath.
I'd like you to imagine that you are sitting or lying beside a beautiful lake,
A beautiful still calm lake.
There may be a few ripples on the surface of the lake,
But these soon dissipate and disappear,
Leaving a perfectly still,
Perfectly calm,
Mirror like surface on the lake.
This lake represents your mind and the ripples represent your thoughts and very soon the thoughts disappear leaving a perfectly still,
Perfectly calm mind.
And as you are in stillness beside this lake,
You notice that the sun is shining,
You feel warm and you feel happy.
And your body is still in connection with the ground beneath you.
You notice roots begin to grow out from your body,
From your spine,
From your back,
From your legs,
From your feet.
And these roots burrow down into the earth,
Down,
Down,
Down,
Down into the earth,
Through the many layers of the earth,
Through the soil and subsoil,
Through the rock,
Through the molten layers and the empty layers and the crystal layers,
All the way down,
Down,
Down,
Down,
Down to the center of the earth.
And as these roots reach the center of the earth,
There is a flash of light and a pulse of light travels all the way back up from the center of the earth,
Back up the roots through the many layers,
All the way back up to the surface,
Back up through your feet and your legs and your back and all the way up your spine,
Coming to rest at your heart.
It's then that you notice a particularly intense beam of light come down from the sun shining above you.
And this beam of light from the sun spirals down through the sky,
Down past the clouds,
Through all the layers of the atmosphere,
Down,
Down,
Down to the surface of the earth and to the top of your head.
And spirals down your spine,
Also coming to rest at your heart.
And where these two sources of light meet in the center of your heart,
They form a small glowing white sphere of light.
And as you breathe in and breathe out,
This sphere of light in your heart begins to grow and grow inside you.
And it grows and grows,
Expanding beyond your physical heart and continues to grow and continues to grow,
Passing over every cell of your body,
Simultaneously energizing and relaxing every single cell of your body.
And it continues to grow and continues to grow,
Until your entire body is encompassed,
Encased inside a sphere of glowing white light.
And inside this sphere you feel warm and you feel safe and you feel happy and you feel secure,
Ready to embark on your journey.
