Welcome,

Thank you for joining me on this mindful visualization.

Today we'll take a journey into nature to find stillness and peace within ourselves.

Begin by closing your eyes and finding a comfortable position,

Either sitting up or lying down.

Now take a deep breath in and slowly breathe out.

Let's take two more deep breaths together.

Breathe in and breathe out.

Once more,

Deep breath in and breathe out.

Now let your breathing return to its natural rhythm,

Soft and easy.

If your mind begins to drift,

Gently bring your focus back to your breath and feel the air as it moves through your body.

Notice how it feels when it fills your lungs and the release that it brings when you exhale.

Imagine yourself standing at the edge of a lush forest.

The air is cool and crisp and you can hear a gentle rustling of leaves as a soft breeze passes through.

Birds sing sweetly in the distance and with each breath feel yourself stepping deeper into this serene place.

As you walk through the forest,

Notice all the small details around you.

The texture of the ground beneath your feet,

The sunlight filtering through the canopy above,

The vibrant green of the leaves around you,

The flowers,

The birds and all the trees that tower over you.

Allow these sensations to ground you in this moment.

Now find a quiet place where you can sit down,

Perhaps by a stream or under the shade of an old tree.

Feel the support of the earth beneath you,

Steady and unwavering.

Breathe in the fresh,

Clean air and as you breathe out,

Let go of any tension or worries you might be experiencing.

Simply let yourself be in this peaceful space,

Connected to the beauty of the nature that surrounds you.

As this journey comes to a close,

Gently place your hands over your heart and just take a moment to express gratitude to yourself for who you are,

For your well-being,

For setting aside the time to show up and commit to yourself and to the natural world for its calm and inspiration.

Slowly bring your awareness back to your body,

Wiggling your fingers and your toes,

And when you're ready,

You can open your eyes.

Carry this sense of connection and serenity with you into your day.

Thank you for joining me on this mindful visualization.

I hope that you have an amazing day.

Meet your Teacher
