Close your eyes,

Let your body settle.

Feel the weight of your limbs sinking into the surface beneath you.

The air around you is warm,

Gentle,

And holding you.

Take a slow,

Soft breath in,

And let it flow out effortless and easy.

Now imagine you are standing at the edge of a clear turquoise ocean.

The sun kisses your skin.

The air smells of salt and warmth.

Gentle waves lap at the shore.

Soft,

Rhythmic,

Inviting.

You feel at ease here,

Calm,

Open,

Ready to step forward.

And now you step into the water,

Cool and soft and welcoming.

It embraces your body,

Wrapping you in a gentle,

Soothing hug.

Each movement feels light and effortless,

And with each breath,

Tension melts away.

Your muscles soften,

Your mind eases.

The water carries you buoyant,

Weightless,

Floating.

You notice how free it feels,

How natural,

How gentle.

And then you sense movement,

Playful,

Curious.

A dolphin appears,

Gliding effortlessly,

Circling,

Diving,

Leaping with joy.

Their smooth bodies shimmer in the sunlight,

Moving with grace.

You move with them effortlessly,

Flowing with their rhythm.

The dolphins' clicks and gentle splashes resonate through the water,

A soft vibration that washes through your body.

Cleansing,

Harmonizing every cell.

You feel their joy,

Their freedom.

And you begin to mirror it,

Light,

Open,

And playful.

You float deeper into the rhythm.

The dolphins' movements guide you,

Effortless,

Safe.

They circle and spiral,

Creating a flow you are a part of.

Notice your heart,

Its light,

Free and open.

The dolphins radiate joy and acceptance,

And you feel it mirrored back to you in the form of a warm,

Gentle knowing.

A soft smile rises from within you,

Effortless and unguarded.

The water carries you,

The dolphins see you.

You are fully supported,

Fully held,

Completely free.

Now the dolphins slow,

Forming a circle around you.

A gentle guardianship,

Soft,

Protective,

Reassuring.

Your body floats,

Supported and weightless,

Completely at peace.

The water cradles you,

The dolphins nearby.

A quiet moment of joy and love.

As you keep breathing slowly and deeply,

As you feel the gentle motion of the sea lull you,

And as your mind drifts,

Your body relaxes softly and completely,

The dolphins stay close as you drift into peaceful rest,

Carried by the sea.
