Your perfect wave.
In this visualization we will imagine your perfect wave and then focus on the positive feeling you have while surfing it.
As a third step we will connect this positive feeling to a so-called anchor.
Something like a button on your body you can press to reactivate some positive feelings or a positive memory.
For this I would like you to choose now a part of your body that you can easily touch like one of your fingers or the wrist of your hand.
I will ask you later to touch this anchor while focusing on your positive feeling.
This way we will connect this feeling with your anchor so that you can always return to it anytime you like.
Now let's get ready to surf your perfect wave.
Find a comfortable position.
You can either lie down or find a comfortable seat.
Whatever feels right for you.
Whatever your body needs right now.
And then slowly close your eyes and focus on your breath.
Maybe you can feel a light touch of air on your nose.
Maybe you can feel how your belly or your chest rises and falls.
And in a moment I will invite you to take three deep and relaxing breaths with me.
I will ask you to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.
And with every out breath I will invite you to relax your body and mind a little bit more and to let go of the tension in your body.
So let's take the first deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Relax your arms.
Relax your legs.
And the second breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Relax your jaw.
Relax your face.
Relax your eyes.
And a third breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Relax your shoulders.
Relax your neck.
And now continue to breathe slowly in your own rhythm.
Are there any parts of your body that need a little more relaxation?
Any parts where you still feel tension?
Let these parts relax more and more with every breath.
Give yourself the present of relaxation.
And in a moment I will invite you to picture yourself on a beautiful beach.
Maybe it's a beach you've already been to.
A beach you love.
Maybe it's a beach you've always wanted to visit.
I will invite you to imagine yourself paddling on your board.
On your way to catch a beautiful wave.
It's a wonderful day with great conditions and you're looking forward to riding your perfect wave.
Imagine now how you paddle easily and relaxed.
How you feel comfortable and safe and strong on your surfboard.
What does your surfboard look like?
Which colors does it have?
How does it feel underneath your body?
Is it soft or stable?
And if you like to you can imagine that your board is either surrounded by warm sunshine or some other beautiful colorful light.
You can imagine how that warm sunshine makes you feel comfortable and safe.
Or how that beautiful colorful light increases your energy,
Strength and focus.
Enjoy this feeling for a moment.
How your body feels more and more relaxed.
Your breath is calm and steady.
How you glide effortlessly through the water on your surfboard.
Maybe surrounded by warm sunshine or this beautiful colorful light that energizes you.
Your surfboard and the ocean are dancing in a wonderful perfect rhythm.
With every pedal stroke your body gains even more strength and your mind gets clearer and more focused.
Strong,
Clear,
Focused.
Strong,
Clear,
Focused.
Strong,
Clear,
Focused.
And in a moment you will see your perfect wave arrive.
Perfect for you and your board.
Maybe you can already see a glimpse of it on the horizon.
Maybe you can even feel it.
Maybe you like to pedal towards it.
Maybe you're already in the perfect position.
What color does your wave have?
Is it blue or is it green?
Does it have some other unique color?
What size does it have?
Your body and mind are now getting ready to take your perfect wave.
Your body knows all the movements you need to ride this beautiful mesmerizing wave.
Your mind is clear and focused and perfectly prepared to react to all the important details.
And now the moment to catch this wave has arrived.
You start pedaling stronger and with every pedal stroke you feel more confident that you will have your perfect take off.
You feel the wave reaching your board.
Strong,
Clear,
Focused.
And you take some more pedal strokes.
Strong,
Clear,
Focused.
And you powerfully perform your take off.
You're in perfect synchronicity with your wave.
Maybe you can feel yourself gliding on water smooth and weightless.
Maybe you're gaining speed and power.
Maybe you're performing tricks.
What do you see?
How does your body feel?
Can you feel how strong your muscles are?
How they support each and every movement?
What do you feel on your skin?
The spray of the ocean?
Maybe a light wind caressing your body?
What can you hear?
Maybe the sound of the ocean?
The crashing of your wave?
The splashing of water?
I'll give you some time now to picture each and every detail.
To enjoy each and every detail of your perfect wave.
If you like you can zoom in on details.
Maybe you can even see things in slow motion.
Maybe you can see yourself from a distance.
Like if a camera caught all the smooth and strong movements you perform so easily.
Take your time to enjoy every detail.
You and now the end of your wave is slowly approaching.
Let's get ready for it.
Maybe you can see how you softly drop into the ocean at the end of your wave.
Maybe you're smiling.
Maybe you're full of joy and self-confidence.
What do you feel?
Let's focus on this feeling for a moment.
This feeling you got when riding your wave.
How your mind and body supported you in every way.
How would you describe this feeling?
Where do you feel it the most in your body?
Does it have a color for you?
Can you maybe intensify it more when you focus on it?
And in a moment I will invite you to connect this feeling to your anchor.
So that you can store it in your memory and you can always return to it.
I invite you now to touch your anchor.
Maybe you put your fingers around your wrist.
Maybe you hold your thumb or any other finger.
Touch your anchor now and press it softly.
This will activate your memory.
This will anchor this feeling in your body.
Press your anchor softly and focus once again on this wonderful feeling you have just had.
Maybe joy,
Power,
Confidence,
Strength.
Maybe some other word comes to mind.
Focus on how easily and effortlessly you were catching and riding your perfect wave.
How you knew all the right movements at the perfect time.
How your body just knew exactly what to do.
How your mind was clear and focused.
Softly press your anchor and breathe calmly and slowly.
With every breath your anchor and the memory of this perfect wave,
The feeling of this perfect wave become more and more connected.
With every breath you memorize all the things you need to know to take and ride your way for real.
With your anchor you can always return to this feeling of joy,
Strength,
Confidence,
Power and safety.
With every breath this memory is getting more and more anchored in your mind.
With every breath this feeling is getting more and more anchored in your body.
I'll give you a couple of moments to intensify this feeling and connect your anchor more and more to your memory.
And now in a moment I will invite you to slowly and softly wake up your body to return to your meditation space.
Maybe you'd like to wiggle your toes and fingers.
Maybe you feel like stretching your body or yawning.
Whatever feels right to you.
And then take a couple of deep calm breaths.
And in your own rhythm open your eyes.
Thank you for sharing your perfect wave with me.
The more you practice this visualization the easier it gets to activate this positive feeling,
This positive memory and all the right body movements with your anchor.
You can even do that when surfing.
When you're in the water and not feeling strong or safe you can press your anchor and return to this positive image to this positive feeling.
The more often you practice it the easier it gets.
Have some wonderful waves and keep on surfing.
