Welcome.
At times in life,
I find myself wanting to grasp and control,
As our minds like no ones and therefore letting go can be difficult as it leaves open the unknown.
However,
In the unknown is where we can find peace,
Guidance,
And a path that our souls desire.
And there is no such thing as perfection in these steps as we get started.
First,
I invite you to grab anything you may need to feel safe and comfortable.
Maybe a blanket or a treasure jewelry or spray some essential oils or a favorite scent.
And as you decide to sit in a chair or on the floor,
Start just shaking out all those little wiggles to get yourself comfortable and settled.
And as you start to take in some deep breaths,
Closing your eyes or resting them with a soft gaze if you prefer.
Bringing to your imagination yourself on a beach where there's water beyond the horizon,
Warm sand under your feet.
Feel the sun on your face.
And as you stand on the beach,
Just where the water and the sand meet,
I invite you to take some gentle cleansing breaths.
Inhaling as the water touches your feet and imagine the water cleansing up through your body and all the way back down.
And exhale,
Imagining that water leaving with any gunk as it dissolves out into the large body of water.
Let's do this two more times.
Inhaling as the water touches your feet.
Imagine the water cleansing up through your body.
Exhaling,
Imagining that water leaving with all the gunk out into that large body of water.
One more time.
Exhaling it all out into the body of water.
Beautiful.
Breathing at a pace that's comfortable for you.
Let any thoughts that arise,
Let them move on like clouds just passing through.
As you look out at the water,
You see a boat coming towards you.
And it's coming to pick you up.
As you climb into this boat,
Notice it's you.
And the water is a symbol of the universe or God.
And as you sit in the boat,
Observe how the water supports you.
It's always there.
And as you steer through the water,
You notice this water gets rougher and this boat's harder to steer.
And as you grab hold of the wheel,
What are you noticing?
How much energy does it take to move this wheel through the rough waters?
Are you against the waves or with the waves?
Just observe with awareness.
Take a deep breath and breathe.
I now invite you to let go of the wheel.
Sitting or lying in the boat,
Closing your eyes.
Feeling the sun.
Feeling the movement of the rocking of the boat as it's carried by waves like a hammock rocking back and forth.
These waves gently hug the boat.
As it's carried by the waves,
Notice how much energy you need to move the boat,
If any.
Breathe and soften.
Notice how the water guides you and no matter how much the boat shakes,
It stays afloat.
Notice when you let go of the wheel and let the boat and the waves move together in synchronicity.
There's more peace.
Stay here as the waves sink together in harmony like a gentle hug.
Feel the waves holding,
Supporting the boat with love as it guides through the water.
As you look out,
You can see you're approaching shore.
There's a stillness and a peacefulness and a quietness.
And you see this place of beauty that you wouldn't have seen before.
As the waves bring you right to where you need to be.
As you notice when you let go,
You're always guided and carried to stillness and peace on your path.
Helping your mind be okay with the unknown and that it's safe.
In the unknown is where the universe or God,
The source,
Can carry you to treasures.
The boat and waves will move together when the waves are allowed to carry the boat.
When you hit rough waters,
It may be the universe trying to steer you on a path to your destination.
So let go of the wheel and let it carry you.
And take a deep breath.
Start to wiggle your fingers and toes as you start to come back.
Amazing job.
You just let go,
Letting the universe carry you with love on your path and peace.
Take care.
