Begin by finding a comfortable and seated position.
Close your eyes,
If it's comfortable for you,
And take a deep breath in through your nose,
And exhale through your mouth.
Repeat this for a few moments,
Allowing your breath to slow and your mind to quiet.
Imagine yourself in a beautiful,
Peaceful meadow.
You are sitting cross-legged on a blanket,
And your special dog Luna is lying beside you.
The sun is shining down on you,
And a gentle breeze is blowing through the tall grass.
As you sit there,
You become aware of a sense of unease.
You remember some drama that's been going on with your friends.
They haven't been kind to you,
And you're feeling hurt and frustrated.
Take a moment to acknowledge these feelings.
It's okay to feel upset when people aren't treating you well.
Remind yourself that you have the power to control your own reactions and to hold true to yourself.
Focus now on Luna lying next to you.
She is always there for you,
Always loyal and loving.
Take comfort in her presence,
And the knowledge that she will never judge or abandon you.
As you continue to breathe deeply,
In through your nose,
Out through your mouth.
Imagine a soft light spreading out from your heart.
This light is your inner strength and your sense of self.
With each breath,
The light grows brighter and stronger.
Now,
Think about the situation with your friends.
Visualize yourself standing tall and strong,
Surrounded by your inner light.
Imagine the negative energy from the drama bouncing harmlessly off of you,
Unable to penetrate your protective shield.
Remind yourself that you don't need the approval of others to be happy.
The most important thing is to stay true to yourself and your values.
Take a moment now to reflect on what those values are,
And how you can stay true to them in this situation.
In this situation,
When you're ready,
Take a deep breath and slowly open your eyes.
Know that you have the strength and the courage to handle any drama that comes your way,
And that Luna will always be by your side.
