Take a moment to settle into your seated position.
Soften your shoulders and ground down.
Begin to soften every part of your body that meets the floor.
Part your teeth and relax your jaw.
Take a deep inhale and a long exhale.
Now begin to match breath to movement.
As you inhale,
Raise your arms above your head.
As you exhale,
Allow them to float back down by your side.
Bring a lightness to this.
Inhale,
Float arms up.
Exhale,
Float arms down like two feathers being blown in the wind.
Light almost weightless and flowing effortlessly up and down with your breath.
On your next exhale,
Bring your hands back down by your side.
Keep your long light flowing breath.
Bring a smile to your face now.
Bring to mind a time that you laughed really hard.
If no particular time comes up,
Just think of the sensation of laughing.
Welcome in a light playful energy.
With the same energy and lightness of spirits,
Ask yourself now,
What do I need to do to show myself kindness and fun today?
What do I need to do to show myself kindness and fun today?
Let the question simmer.
If a very sensible part of you starts to block any ideas,
Just let it take a backseat for now.
If something comes to mind,
Immediately ask yourself,
What else?
Let a few more options simmer in your mind for a few moments.
Let this be light and fun,
Just a game with your mind.
What do I need to do to show myself kindness and fun today?
As you think through your ideas,
Internally say to yourself,
I am creative,
Resourceful and whole.
I always find answers to each question.
I am light and playful and I use my creativity to unlock more kindness,
Fun and gentleness in my life.
I allow myself to be creative and to apply this to my life right now.
There is always time for me to be me.
There's always time for creativity,
Kindness and compassion.
There is always time to connect to my best self,
To feel the warmth of laughter,
To connect to my most relaxed and expressive self.
It is in this space that I create,
In the space of freedom,
Flow and joy.
This is my space to create,
To solve the problems of the world or just the day.
This is my space to be free and be me.
Deep breath in,
Slow exhale release.
I am creative,
Resourceful and whole.
I am creative,
Resourceful and whole.
I am creative,
Resourceful and whole.
Repeat this phrase as you slow your breathing right down.
Whatever you encountered today,
Bring back this phrase.
Tune into the playful and joyful creativity that always exists underneath the surface,
Ready and waiting to be accessed by you.
I am creative,
I am resourceful,
I am whole.
With a gentle smile to your face,
Bring your awareness back into the room.
When you are ready,
Slowly begin to open your eyes and feel free to jot down anything that came up for you in this meditation.
You take a final deep inhale and a sigh to close the meditation.
