Hello,
Friend,
And happy holidays.
I'm here to help you find some peace and tranquility during this bustling holiday season.
As we start our journey together,
Allow yourself to embrace the warmth and joy of the holidays.
Letting go of any stress or tension.
As we're getting ready to sleep,
Make yourself comfortable while you're lying down.
Close your eyes gently,
And take a deep breath in through your nose.
Feel your abdomen expand,
And hold that breath for just a moment,
And then slowly exhale through your mouth,
Releasing tension.
Let's take a few more deep breaths together.
Inhale deeply,
Hold,
And exhale.
With each breath,
Imagine inhaling peace and calm,
And exhaling any worries or distractions as you're breathing gently.
I want you to imagine yourself in a serene winter landscape.
Ground is blanketed with soft,
Sparkling snow.
The air is crisp and fresh,
And reddens your cheeks as you walk.
Take another deep breath in,
Hold,
And exhale through your mouth,
Slowly enjoying the steam and cloud that you create in the cold,
Crisp air.
As you continue walking through this peaceful scene,
Feel the gentle crunch of snow beneath your feet.
Up ahead,
You see a cozy cabin glowing with warm light coming through the windows.
As you approach,
You can smell the sweet scent of gingerbread and pine.
You know that this cabin is a safe haven,
A place where you can relax and let go of any worries from the world outside.
As you push open the door and step inside the cabin,
You notice how warm and inviting it feels.
Your skin prickling with the warmth after being outside in the cold.
You take off your mittens,
Your hat,
Your coat,
And walk over to the crackling fireplace,
Warming your hands.
As you listen to the sounds in the room from the fireplace,
And watch the flames dance with joy in front of you,
You settle into a comfy,
Easy chair near the fireplace,
Prepping your feet up on an ottoman to warm your toes.
As you get comfortable,
Take a moment to reflect on the significance of the holidays.
The season is about love,
Hope,
And connection.
This is a time to celebrate the light in your life,
To see all the lights,
Even when the nights can feel very dark at times.
This holiday season,
Is it peace,
Joy,
Connections with loved ones?
Whatever your wishes are,
Allow these intentions to fill your heart to bursting.
We're very comfortable in our cozy chair,
So let's focus on our breath once more.
Inhale deeply,
Filling your lungs with the spirit of the season,
Love,
Joy,
And warmth.
Hold that breath,
And exhale slowly.
Release any lingering thoughts or worries.
As you breathe,
Imagine that you are inhaling the essence of the holidays,
And exhaling anything that no longer serves you.
All the worries of your day are melting away like snow under the warm sun.
As you breathe,
Allow your mind to drift,
Drifting into a dream-like state.
As you imagine lights twinkling in the room around you,
Each light and each holiday decoration representing a very special memory of a person in your life.
Picture the joy of unwrapping gifts,
Gifts that you have given to others,
And gifts that you receive.
These gifts are full of love,
Kindness,
And gratitude.
Each gift symbolizes a blessing in your life.
Allow yourself to feel the warmth of these memories wrapping around you like a cozy blanket.
As you find yourself drifting to sleep,
Take a moment to feel gratitude for the peace and comfort you have created within yourself.
This cozy safe haven is here for you whenever you need it.
This sense of peace and joy is with you as you sleep,
And you'll bring that with you into your day when you awake,
Feeling rested and your heart filled with the spirit of the season.
