I'd like you to find a comfortable position and gently close your eyes.
I'd like you to take a deep breath in and out.
Take another deep breath in and out.
And one more deep breath in and out.
Keeping your eyes closed,
I'd like you to focus on a word.
And the word is sunshine.
I'd like you to think about that word quietly.
You can imagine it being written in the inside of your head.
You can imagine saying it to yourself,
But just focus on that word.
Sunshine,
Sunshine.
As you keep breathing gently in and out.
Now I'd like you to imagine that this sunshine is starting to surround you.
You can feel the warmth of the sun.
It's almost as though it's tickling you.
You can feel connected to it.
As it starts to wrap your whole body from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.
With this beautiful warm yellow glow.
Now I'd like you to imagine that the sun is almost massaging your scalp.
You can feel this warm,
Warm feeling on your scalp.
And the light of the sun starts to fill your head.
Your forehead,
Your eyes,
Your nose,
Your ears.
Almost start to glow with the yellow,
Orange color of the sun.
You can imagine that this beautiful glow of the sun starts to float down through your jaw,
Your neck,
Your shoulders.
It's like someone is there with their hands on your shoulders,
Massaging them,
Relaxing them.
The sunshine seems to flow down your arms all the way to the tips of your fingers.
And it wraps around your chest and your back.
Down your spine to your lower back.
To your tummy.
All the way down to the tailbone.
And slowly,
The sun,
The beautiful warm feeling of the sun,
Starts to go down each one of your legs.
Massages your knees,
Your shins,
Your calves,
Your ankles,
And your feet all the way to the tips of your toes.
The warm,
Beautiful sunlight is wrapping in you and outside of you.
And you remind yourself that you are just like the sun.
You are made of the same atoms as the sun.
You are a star.
You are made of starstaff.
The world needs you.
The world needs your bright light shining because you have so many gifts that are unique to you.
Because you are you.
You are amazing,
Brilliant.
You are sunshine.
Take a deep breath in again.
And out.
In your next deep breath,
Imagine yourself breathing in the word sunshine.
You breathe out your feelings that you might be holding in like anger or sadness or disappointment.
Anything that might make you feel upset.
So let's just give that a try.
You breathe in the beauty of the sun.
And you breathe out anything that's holding you back or bothering you.
Sometimes I even imagine when I breathe out that those heavy thoughts and feelings come out as though they are a different color.
So sometimes I imagine them breathing out as a color block.
And when I breathe in the sun,
It gives me new life,
A new chance,
A new beginning.
So keep breathing in this beautiful warm sunlight.
And keep breathing out anything that's hurting your heart.
And just do this slowly and surely.
And imagine yourself just continuing to breathe in and breathe out.
And refreshing yourself.
Let go of anything that you're holding on to.
Just do that for a few minutes.
As you take another deep breath in.
And out of sunshine.
You remind yourself that you are a star.
Anytime you need your deep breathing in and out can connect you with the warmth of the sun.
The warmth of you.
And the warmth of all the people in your life that love you.
Because you are you.
And you are a star.
You are made of star stuff.
So breathe it in.
Sunshine.
Take a deep breath out.
Another deep breath in.
Think of the word sunshine.
And breathe out.
Always remember how you got to this place.
This feeling of sunshine,
Of light,
Of safety.
Whenever you need it you can go back to this place by closing your eyes and connecting with the word sunshine.
