Settling now,
Slowing down,
Let the intention be self love,
Self love,
Lying on the floor with your arms by your sides,
Or seated comfortably in a chair,
With your feet firmly on the ground,
Begin to relax,
Gently,
Slowly,
Bring your attention to your breath,
Notice the point at which the end of the out-breath becomes the start of the in-breath,
Gently widen the gap between the end of the out-breath and the beginning of the in-breath,
Allow your breathing to go a little slower and a little deeper,
Notice the feeling of the ground beneath your body supporting you,
Or if seated,
The chair and the ground beneath your feet,
Feel fully supported,
Notice any thoughts that arise and let them drift past like clouds in a gentle breeze,
Notice any feelings or sensations and let them be,
And now very gently raise your hands up so that they rest on the crown of your head,
With the palms down,
No weight,
No pressure,
Just resting.
Selflessness.
Consider the quality that is selflessness.
To be in service of others.
And noticing the gentle touch of your hands on your head,
Gently direct this noble quality inwards,
As though violet light was gently moving from your hands,
Through your head,
Into your body.
Self-love.
Self-love.
Gently.
Allow your hands to move from the crown of your head,
Palms down,
To your forehead,
Gently resting across the third eye.
And in your mind's eye,
Picture a star on the furthest point of the universe,
Transmitting deep,
Rich,
Purple light,
Travelling across the universe.
Imagine this light reaching your hands,
And travelling through them,
Into your third eye.
And as this beautiful light reaches your hands,
Surrender to the wisdom that floods into your body.
Gently bring your attention to the area of your neck and throat.
Slide your hands slowly down the sides of your face,
Until they reach your neck.
Let your fingertips rest on your jawline,
So that your hands are gently cupping your neck and throat.
Imagine a gentle blue mist surrounds your hands,
Cooling,
Refreshing,
Bringing clarity,
Gently washing through your hands and into your body.
Imagine the quality of truth,
And a sense of unity,
Between your outer and your inner world.
Openness,
Listening and hearing.
Integrity of communication.
Unity.
As the music fades,
Bring your attention to the area of the heart,
And gently allow your hands to rest wherever is most comfortable for you,
Around or near the heart chakra.
Notice the feelings that arise,
When we attend to the heart chakra.
Perhaps a sense of loss or yearning.
Perhaps a sense of fullness.
Allow this moment to be a reflection on self-love.
And consider the quality that is contentment.
Stillness in contentment.
Forgiving.
Accepting.
Visualise rolling green hills.
Many shades of green,
Emerald and moss.
Notice the stillness.
Notice nature's contentedness.
And let this quality of contentedness be the foundation.
The foundation of your self-love.
The foundation of your self-love.
The foundation of your self-love.
The foundation of your self-love.
The foundation of your self-love.
The foundation of your self-love.
Bringing your attention once again to your hands,
Allow them to gently and slowly move,
Until they rest between the bottom of the ribcage and above the navel.
Imagine below your hands,
At the centre of your body,
Lies a radiant gem.
A precious stone,
Emitting beautiful golden yellow rays.
Yellow light.
Imagine this light is reaching out from your body to all points in the universe.
Radiance.
Your radiance,
Reaching everyone and everything.
Your radiance,
Reaching everyone and everything.
Move your fingertips just a little,
And bring the attention back to your hands.
And gently move your hands just a few inches lower,
Until they cover the navel.
Deep,
Deep within,
Lies the source of all your power.
Your power comes from within.
Visualise a spinning wheel of orange beneath your hands.
The source of all your power.
Pure energy.
A force,
A power of purity.
A force contained.
Pure energy.
See the spinning wheel of pure orange energy,
That is your navel chakra.
And see small flares of pure energy,
Spinning outwards.
A glow of orange light.
Pure energy.
Allow your attention to feel the earth beneath your whole body,
Or if you're sitting,
The earth beneath your feet.
Allow this primal connection,
This grounding,
To hold you and to support you.
Slowly allow your hands to move downwards,
Until your arms are fully extended,
And your hands rest on the top of your thighs.
Welcome into your mind's eye,
The colour red.
And welcome into your whole being,
The quality of patience.
Grounded,
Stillness,
Patience.
Know that your needs are met.
In this moment,
Here and now,
Let the loving power of the earth support you.
From a deep place of self-love,
And allow sensation to return.
Through feeling the earth beneath your feet,
Beneath your body,
And through connection to breath.
Self-love.
