Hello and welcome to this guided session.
In this guided session I will guide you through a fantasy journey that will help you to relax and calm down.
Please make sure that you are comfortable and have a nice position for the next minute.
That will help you to let the relaxation sink in.
Close your eyes,
Connect to your body and then imagine you are driving your car into a distant forest.
An eventful day lies behind you,
But now you can leave everything behind.
Leave it all behind you.
It is already beginning to dawn as you follow the road further and further.
After some time you stop at a place that seems right to you.
You get out and arrive.
Earthy forest air surrounds you.
Close your eyes if you like and take a few deep breaths through your nose.
In and out.
Your lungs fill with pure forest air.
And with each exhalation you feel the stress of the day fade away.
You just stand there and allow yourself to enjoy the peace and quiet of the forest.
A well paved path winds gently between the trees.
You can now walk along it.
After your feet you feel the soft forest floor.
Follow the path further and further in your pace.
It takes you deeper into the forest.
After some time the path becomes deeper and leads you up a hill.
The scent of the bark and fresh moss wafts into your nose.
The smell accompanies you as you climb the hill further and further.
Surrounded by the trees a feeling of deep security unfolds.
With every step you take you can leave everyday life more and more behind you.
It feels as if you are diving into a completely different world,
To such a peaceful and beautiful place where only you are important.
Where you leave everything behind that no longer serves you.
The forest thins out a bit.
The path leads you to an old castle ruin.
You are now on a small hill from where you can overlook the whole valley.
On the horizon the setting sun sends its very last rays.
It bothers the sky in a bright orange.
You watch as it slowly disappears.
Darkness now begins to envelop the valley below you.
Already you can only make out the outlines.
Even the castle walls of the ruins are only faintly visible in the rising night.
If you like,
Lay your hands on the rough stones.
Under your palms you can still feel the warmth of the sun.
It gives you security.
Safety may spread in your whole body.
Perhaps a feeling of recognition is stirring in you.
As if you have known this place for a long time.
A feeling of being at home.
For a while you just revel in this feeling of safety.
Connectedness and familiarity surround you.
In the warm night you walk calmly along the walls.
A beautiful place invites you to stay a while longer.
You decide to light a small campfire here.
Soon the pleasant smoky sand of firewood hits your nose.
The flames flicker in the darkness and cast dancing shadows on the old walls.
A pleasant warmth emanates from them.
The wood crackles softly.
You gaze into the flames and indulge your thoughts.
They just come and go.
You don't have to judge them.
Just let them be.
With time the thoughts may become less.
Your heartbeat becomes calmer and you let yourself fall more and more.
If you like lean back against a wall and look up into the sky.
Countless stars are already shining there.
Some seem to be far away.
Others seem very close.
They sparkle like diamonds in the soft veil of night.
You can even make out some constellations.
You sit down there and gaze at the starry sky.
You hear the nocturnal sounds of the forest in the background.
Next to you the campfire is pattering away steadily.
A little deeper in the valley you can hear the gentle babbling of a small stream.
You listen to the various sounds as you relax even more deeply.
You just sit there and can feel completely in the here and now.
And with the connectedness of you and mother nature may come a deep trust.
Everything has a meaning.
Everything is good the way it is.
In the meantime night has enveloped everything.
Like a protective veil it lies over the landscape.
You decide to continue on your way and extinguish the fire.
Before you go you can take a few deep breaths.
Let your gaze wander once more and say goodbye to this wonderful place.
Now follow the forest path that brought you here.
You are not in a hurry and you can pause again and again taking in the sounds and smells.
Earthy smell of wood and forest floor rises to your nose.
The rustling of leaves in the wind accompanies your way.
Everything is in harmony and shines in a soft light.
Stars shine through the three tops like little signposts in the night.
A point of light in front of you attracts your attention.
It shines delicately through the tall grasses.
Curious you stop and cautiously approach it.
You discover a firefly that has settled peacefully on a blade of grass.
When you turn around you notice more points of light in the distance.
You follow them.
The rows of trees open up and a beautiful clearing stretches out before you.
It is littered with glittering points of light.
An infinite number of fireflies have gathered here.
Their glow bothers the place in a mystical light.
Just take in the fascinating spectacle.
Carefully you sit down on the bed of grasses and lean against a tree.
The moon shines on the landscape.
Together with the fireflies it creates a mysterious atmosphere.
You let yourself drift completely in this mood.
Enjoy the peace that the little light creature radiate.
They glide leisurely over the grasses,
Sometimes higher,
Sometimes lower.
Maybe old stories come to your mind.
Stories of small mythical creatures that only dare to come out of their hiding places in the safety of darkness.
Right now you are like a silent observer.
Take in the feelings and enjoy.
It is a fascinating spectacle.
One of the little light beings even settles on your arm.
Enjoy watching the activity of these little beings.
Maybe you feel gratitude for this beautiful moment.
Congratulations for experiencing this natural spectacle.
Leaning against a tree you can forget everything around you.
You can just be here and now.
In your back you feel the solid trunk of the tree.
Recognize this power.
Take a few deep breaths in and out.
Deep breaths in and out.
With each breath you feel the strength and energy of the tree pass over you.
The earth carries you and you feel more and more connected to it.
Just as the tree is deeply connected to the earth with its roots,
Feel this grounding in yourself as well.
Be aware of your feelings.
Wind comes up.
It moves you from the hill down into the valley and makes the leaves of the trees rustle softly.
It gently strokes through your hair and over the grasses in the clearing.
Looking up at the sky you discover dark clouds slowly obscuring the stars behind them.
It is hard to leave this beautiful place.
With a grateful look you can now say goodbye to this magical clearing.
If you like,
Put your hand on the strong tree trunk once more.
You turn away from the clearing and return to the forest path.
The wind is getting stronger.
In the distance you can hear the faint rumble of thunder.
You hear the first raindrops hitting the tree tops.
The scent of damp forest floor spreads.
The air feels cooler and leaves a fresh feeling on your skin.
Soon you reach your car again.
You are in no hurry and can stay a little longer in this place.
Once you arrive you make yourself comfortable in the car.
It is warm and dry here.
Snuggle up in a warm blanket and make yourself comfortable.
The raindrops gently patter on the roof of the car.
They create wet trails across the windows.
The view outside becomes more and more obscured like curtains enclose you safely in your car.
Breathe in the fresh rain air and if you like,
Go back in your mind to the events of the last hours.
Perhaps you feel a deep gratitude for these wonderful moments.
Everything that has burdened you can now move into the far distance.
You are safe and secure.
Everything is good the way it is.
The comforting warmth makes you tired.
The steady sound of the pattering rain accompanies you.
Deep and calm.
Calm and relaxed.
Enjoy falling asleep.
