Hi and welcome to Guided by Sarah.
Let's take a moment to settle in and arrive.
Let your body soften into the surface beneath you and allow your breath to find its own gentle rhythm.
Slower,
Deeper,
Softer.
Like a quiet exhale at the end of the day.
And maybe you'd like to take one or two deeper breaths.
A warm,
Soft inhale.
A releasing exhale.
With every breath out,
A little tension melts away.
Right now,
There's nothing else to do or else to be.
Just this moment.
Your breath and yourself.
Now imagine yourself standing in a peaceful winter landscape.
The air is crisp and clear.
The kind of air that wakes you up without rushing you.
Soft snowflakes drift through the sky,
Floating down oh so gently.
As if time itself has softened.
Before you,
A narrow path leads you through the quiet forest.
While you walk,
Snow crunches lightly under your feet.
And with every step you take,
Something inside you unwinds.
The busyness of the day fades into the background as you keep walking further into the forest.
At the end of the path,
The trees slowly open up and you see it.
Your cabin.
It's warm,
It's inviting.
A soft glow shines through the window like a candle placed just for you.
Firelight flickers against the snow,
Giving the whole scene a feeling of safety,
Softness,
Belonging.
Walk toward the cabin at your own pace.
Maybe the door is already slightly open.
Maybe it opens the moment your hand touches the wooden door.
Either way,
You know that this space welcomes you.
Exactly as you are today.
As you step inside,
A wave of warmth embraces you.
The scent of woods and pine needles.
A hint of cinnamon or orange.
Soft candlelight.
The quiet crackling of the fireplace.
And here,
Everything slows your breath.
Your heart.
Your thoughts.
Take your time to have a look around.
Maybe there's a cozy blanket draped over the comfy couch.
Warm wooden floor beneath your feet.
A window where snowflakes stand softly outside.
See the space that feels lived in.
So comfortable.
So completely yours.
You notice a wall in the center of the cabin.
And on that wall,
You see a collection of images from your life.
You move closer and have a look at those images.
Some of them make you smile.
Moments filled with warmth.
Joy.
Connection.
Others show times of growth.
Moments that shaped you.
They're not heavy or sad.
They simply belong in your story.
Turn slowly now and look at the wall on the right.
There hangs a large,
Empty canvas.
Untouched and ready.
This canvas holds space for what you desire in the season.
For the feelings you want to nourish.
Maybe it's calm.
Maybe it's softness.
Maybe it's confidence.
Maybe it's trust.
And maybe it's simply the permission to slow down and enjoy the season.
Watch whatever appears on the canvas.
Colors,
Shapes.
Maybe scenes from the life you're gently moving towards.
Maybe it's an image of yourself.
Clear.
Confident.
Grounded.
Peaceful.
Let it unfold.
Let your inner winter magic unfold now.
And now find a place in your cabin to rest for a little bit longer.
Maybe near the window,
Watching the snow fall softly in the night.
Maybe by the fireplace,
Feeling the gentle warmth on your skin.
Maybe on the comfy couch right in the middle of the room.
And allow yourself to feel how your whole system softens here.
How your breath deepens.
And how your inner world becomes still.
And know that this cabin is your space.
Your refuge.
A reminder that you can always return to yourself.
So stay here as long as you need.
Let the warmth hold you.
And let the stillness settle.
And when you feel ready,
Slowly rise.
Look around one last time and take everything in.
The images.
The canvas.
The cozy atmosphere.
And take everything with you.
It feels nourishing tonight.
Turn to the door and open it.
Outside snow continues to fall.
And the world is calm and steady.
But now you carry this warmth and calmness within you.
Take one last deep,
Steady breath in.
And a long breath out.
And slowly begin to feel your body again.
Your hands,
Your shoulders,
Your feet.
Feel the stillness.
Space around you.
Gently move your fingers and toes.
Stretch out if you feel like you want to stretch.
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes gently.
Welcome back.
And see you next time.
Sarah.
