Welcome to your guided meditation,
And please take all the time that you need to set up your surroundings and to find a safe and comfortable position,
Gently closing down your eyes and bringing your awareness inwards,
Grounding yourself into this space by gently deepening your breath,
Inhale through your nose and feel your belly rise,
Exhale slowly,
Deeply and complete,
Take another slow breath in and a longer breath out,
Just notice the gentle rise and fall of your belly,
Notice the sensation of your breath going in and out through your nostrils,
Allow the rate of your breathing to gradually soften by extending the breath out,
Using no effort at all as your body starts to relax,
Inhale peace and calm,
Exhale any tension,
As you continue to breathe deeply,
Slowly bring awareness to the presence of a warm golden glow at the centre of your heart,
A warm golden glow bright like the sun and sweet like honey,
This nourishing warm golden glow has the magical ability to loosen your muscles when they feel tight,
To ease your bones when they feel tired,
To relax and release the tension from your deepest connective tissues,
To lighten your load when it feels too heavy,
To brighten your mood when you need it,
Your mind when it feels cloudy and to actively encourage you to take action towards what will bring you joy and happiness,
With every breath in watch the warm golden glow as it shines brighter and brighter,
With every breath out watch the warm golden glow as it spreads out in all directions throughout your body,
Soothing and relaxing each and every part of your body that it reaches,
Imagine that the warm golden glow reaches the crown of your head and like the finest golden nectar it slowly gradually melts downwards,
Feel it dissolve any tightness in your forehead and the space between your brows,
Releasing any tension in your eyes,
Your temples and your jaw,
Allow this gentle golden glow to pour around your neck and to reach deeply into your shoulders making them feel light and free,
To flow all the way along your arms to your fingertips,
Relaxing and letting go,
The golden glow spreads around your chest and back bringing relaxation with every heartbeat,
Your stomach softens and your spine melts into the mat,
Releasing and dissolving any worries,
Feeling completely at ease,
This comforting golden glow now wraps around your hips,
Your thighs and your knees,
Feeling gratitude for carrying you,
Holding you and supporting you,
This soothing and nurturing golden glow seeps down into your calves,
Your ankles and your feet,
Feeling grounded,
Safe and anchored to the earth below,
Your whole body is now surrounded and illuminated by this warm,
Soothing,
Calming golden glow,
Every single part of you feeling soft,
Nurtured,
Peaceful and relaxed,
You have nothing else to do and nowhere else to be,
You have no worries,
No cares and no concerns,
Allow yourself to feel calm,
Peaceful and relaxed,
Give yourself permission to honour your mind,
To honour your body and to simply enjoy the rest,
I'm going to hold a very safe space for you now,
To rest,
To relax and to enjoy absorbing the wonderful and magical benefits of this glorious golden glow,
Take your time to introduce some small movements through your fingers and through your toes and only when it feels right for you,
Slowly open your eyes,
