This guided visualization can be done seated or lying down,
But I recommend letting your body stretch out along the floor or your bed.
Let your body soften and your mind relax.
Give up your worries of the future and the memories of the past just for a while.
Allow yourself to just be right here in this moment.
Pay attention to your breath.
Take a few deep inhales in through your nose and exhale it out through an open mouth.
And again,
Breathing deeply in through the nose,
Filling the lungs up completely.
Separating the lips,
Sighing it all out,
Letting it go.
Once more,
Nice deep breath in through your nose and release it all out of the mouth.
Let your breath return to its natural rhythm.
And now our journey will begin.
Imagine yourself walking through a beautiful forest.
It's nighttime,
But you know this forest well.
It feels familiar and welcoming,
Like home.
You know every tree and every stone in the ground.
As you walk,
You caress each branch extending from these wise old trees,
Like you are greeting a loved one that has been gone too long.
There is a gentle breeze flowing through the canopy of leaves above you.
It sounds like a chorus of hushed voices are softly singing you a lullaby.
The air feels warm against your skin.
The scent is thick with moss and foliage.
You feel tranquil and secure here in your forest.
But you know a new destination awaits your arrival.
So you continue to slowly make your way to the forest edge.
You step through the tree line and out from beneath the canopy of leaves and into a wide open field.
The breeze feels slightly cooler and very refreshing.
You breathe it deeply into your lungs.
You walk out into the middle of this meadow.
The grass is thick and soft beneath your feet.
You turn your eyes up to the night sky and you are flooded with a sense of wonder.
Above you is a velvet canopy of shimmering celestial objects as far as the eye can see.
Tens of thousands of twinkling stars shine in varying degrees of brightness and color.
Some are blue.
Others are red.
Many are white.
Constellations are formed amongst the faint glimmer of nebulae and far away galaxies.
The planet Venus stands out amongst the backdrop.
Gleaming and radiating its feminine energy of love,
Balance,
And harmony.
You can feel the energy of the universe coursing through your veins.
You decide to lay down and you stretch your body across the earth.
Your weight feels gently supported by the lush grass beneath you.
You are releasing all tightness.
Your muscles are softening.
You feel all tension melting out of your body into the earth.
You are beginning to feel lighter,
As expansive as the vast heavens above you.
You feel a deep sense of connection to the universe and to all things.
You know that you belong.
That you are looked after.
You are loved.
The universe is a brilliant nurturer and you know that everything you need in life will be provided.
You can feel the earth's vibration deep in your core.
It is drawing all the negativity,
Self-doubt,
Worry,
And stress you've been holding onto and pulling it down beneath its layers.
You are feeling simultaneously light yet grounded.
Completely at ease.
You feel the love from the universe in your bones.
As above,
So below.
What an incredible gift to be here in this skin on this planet.
A precious piece of the infinite cosmos.
You are happy and content to be here,
Resting in this sweet awareness.
You are happy and content to be here,
Resting in this sweet awareness.

You are happy and content to be here,
Resting in this sweet awareness.
You are happy and content to be here,
Resting in this sweet awareness.
You are happy and content to be here,
Resting in this sweet awareness.
You are happy and content to be here,
Resting in this sweet awareness.
You are welcome to continue to drift through space.
Or gently guide your awareness back to the surface that supports your body.
Treat yourself kindly and know that you are infinitely loved.
Namaste.
