Find a comfortable position in a quiet space where you can unwind without interruptions.
Close your eyes and take a few deep nourishing breaths.
Feel a gentle energy bathing your body from the crown of your head,
Touching the center of your forehead,
Soothing your throat like the sip of a warm drink,
Traveling down your shoulders,
Moving gracefully across your chest,
Washing over your stomach,
Gently warming any knots or discomfort,
Continuing into your hip,
Through your thighs,
Feet,
Allowing the gentle energy to fill every toe.
Let's travel to a place of hope together now.
The air is crisp with the earthy fragrance of wild heather mingled with the coolness of damp soil.
You stand at the threshold of a breathtaking expanse of rolling hills and majestic highlands that seem to stretch endlessly,
A tapestry of greens and browns woven together.
The ground beneath your feet alternates between the plush embrace of soft moss and the solid,
Rugged texture of ancient rocks,
Each step a different sensation.
The early morning sun rises over the highlands,
Your eyes led toward the distant peaks cradled in a delicate shroud of mist.
The sky spreads wide and open,
A brilliant wash of color in hues of pink.
The very atmosphere you breathe is filled with hope.
The wind dances around you,
Lifting your hair and drawing your senses to this vast,
Timeless landscape.
A walk along the rugged,
Uneven path,
A soft melody beckoning you closer.
With each step,
The sound of the stream becomes more pronounced,
Finally revealing itself as a wide ribbon of water that rushes over a bed of smooth stones.
Sunlight dances on the water,
Creating a shimmering spectacle as it tumbles and splashes over the contours of the rocks.
In the distance,
You see a solitary tree,
Its gnarled silhouette outlined against the sky.
It stands tall,
Its branches swaying gracefully in the breeze.
As the wind continues to whisper through the tree,
You turn your gaze to the horizon.
The soft embrace of dawn spills across the sky in hues of gold and coral.
Slowly release the visualization.
Let's finish today with a beautiful quote from Barbara Kingsolver.
The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for,
And the most you can do is live inside that hope.
