Hello and welcome.
My name is Nat and my whole purpose for being here today is to help you feel calm and content.
One of the most wonderful aspects of a mindful practice is its ability to leave you feeling calm and content.
It is a powerful practice that can help you find peace and serenity amidst the chaos of life.
This guided visualization aims to assist in helping you achieve that desired state of tranquility and inner peace.
A visualization like this is particularly beneficial during moments when you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or drained,
As it serves as a gentle reminder to take a step back and reconnect with your inner self.
Let's start by giving yourself permission to slow down and feel calm and content today.
If you haven't already,
Find a gentle spot where you can relax without any interruptions.
Lie down in a comfortable position and begin to soften your gaze,
Or if it's comfortable to do so,
Close your eyes.
Take a few calming breaths,
Inhaling through the nose,
Exhaling through the mouth,
Allowing your body to relax with each breath.
Feel your whole self gradually sinking deeper into this moment.
Now imagine yourself standing in a serene,
Natural setting,
Surrounded by enchanting beauty.
Look around and see the colors vividly,
As if encountering them for the very first time.
Inhale all of the scents available to you,
Perhaps a blooming flower or earthy freshness.
Let it permeate your being,
Awakening your senses.
Feel a gentle breeze caressing your skin,
Offering a soothing touch that relaxes your muscles and puts your body at ease.
As you continue to breathe slowly,
Imagine that each inhale offers you a sense of deeper calm,
And then each exhale it releases any tension,
Stress,
Negativity from your body and mind,
Leaving you feel content.
Inhale calm,
Exhale content.
Inhale,
Feel calm.
Exhale,
Feel content.
While standing in this calm and inviting space,
Focus on the sounds around you.
Listen for the chirping birds,
A gentle rustling of leaves in the wind,
The babble of a brook nearby,
Or waves gently rolling up on a sandy shore.
Let these sounds deepen your contentment even further.
Find a spot to sit in this safe space and imagine yourself sitting there now.
You feel fully supported and completely at ease.
As you sit in this space,
Allow yourself to fully embrace this moment,
Experiencing a profound sense of calm and contentment.
Use this moment to simply be present in this serene space,
Embracing the calmness available within you.
Notice your ability to slow down.
Give yourself permission to linger here longer than you intended,
Staying with your breath,
Staying with yourself.
Inhale calm,
Exhale content.
Inhale,
Feel calm.
Exhale,
Feel content.
Stay here now,
Calm and content.
When you feel ready,
Slowly,
Slow like a sloth,
Bring your awareness back to this moment,
Wiggling fingers and toes and maybe even your nose,
Stretching your body,
Opening your eyes.
And take a moment to feel into the sensation,
The calmness and the contentment available to you still.
Available for you to create any time you need.
I am calm.
I am content.
I am calm.
I am content.
And I can create this sensation anytime,
Anywhere I desire.
Thank you for your time today.
Have a very calm and content week ahead.
