Please take a long,
Slow,
Deep breath in through your nose,
Slowing everything down as you do.
And exhale with a long,
Audible sigh,
Letting the outside world fade away.
There's no rush here.
There's absolutely no pressure here.
Time does not matter.
Take another deep breath in,
Gathering any tension,
Fear or heaviness that lingers within you.
Hold it for a moment and then let it all go with a sigh,
Exhaling fully and completely.
Feel your body softening,
Opening and relaxing as you settle into this moment.
One more long,
Slow,
Deep breath now.
Inhale deeply,
Letting the air fill every corner of your being.
And as you exhale,
Release all concept of time and space,
Allowing yourself to drop deeper into the sanctuary within you.
Now,
In the heart of your imagination,
Find yourself in a magical forest.
This forest is the most beautiful you have ever seen.
The trees tower high above,
Their canopies shimmering with the golden light of the sun that dances through the leaves.
The air is fresh,
Filled with the scent of pine,
Earth and wildflowers.
You are completely alone here,
Safe,
Protected and cradled by the embrace of Mother Nature.
Ahead of you lies a river,
The river of redemption,
Flowing gently but powerfully through the forest.
The water sparkles as if covered by stars.
Silent pools rest in places where the water slows,
Reflecting the beautiful sky above,
While other sections rush with a cleansing urgency,
Cascading over rocks and smooth stones.
The river of redemption is always here,
Deep within your imagination,
Waiting for you to remember and connect to its presence.
It holds the power to wash away everything you've been carrying that is not yours.
The energy of others,
The chaos of the world and the fears that have clung to you for far too long.
Please stand by the riverbank now.
Feel the sunlight streaming down upon you,
Kissing your skin with warmth and readiness.
Allow the sun to scan you from head to toe,
Illuminating every part of you that feels heavy or burdened.
Let it show you the energies,
The beliefs and the emotions you've been carrying that you need to release so you may live your greatest and most beautiful life.
And when you feel ready,
Please start to undress.
Layer by layer until there's nothing between you and your truest,
Most authentic self.
Yes,
That may feel vulnerable,
Even uncomfortable,
But that's okay.
Growth and healing often live just beyond the edge of your comfort zone.
This is a very powerful and sacred act of shedding what is no longer yours to carry.
Please step into the river now and feel the water wrap around you.
The temperature is perfect,
Soothing and welcoming.
As you sink deeper into the water,
Notice how it immediately begins to work its magic.
The struggles of the world,
The fears of the future and the pain of the past begin to dissolve and get carried away into the current.
Feel the river washing away the beliefs you were told as a child that were never true about you.
Let it carry away the judgments,
The pressures and all the struggle that's been blocking your light.
The river knows exactly what you need to release.
You don't have to figure it out,
Just trust its wisdom,
Surrender to the water and let it go.
And as the water flows over you,
Something extraordinary begins to happen.
Deep within you,
You can feel a powerful light start to grow.
This light has always been there,
The power and light of your soul that's been hidden beneath the layers of everything you've carried for so long.
With every moment your light grows brighter and more radiant until it fills your whole entire being.
You are pure soul,
Pure love and pure light.
You are resilience,
Determination and grace.
Nothing from the outside world can diminish your light.
It is your essence,
Eternal,
And untouchable.
When you feel ready,
Step out of the river now.
Hanging from a nearby tree are garments unlike any you've seen before.
These clothes were chosen just for you by the universe,
Tailored perfectly to your soul's essence.
As you put them on,
Feel the transformation within you solidify.
You have been cleansed new.
You are radiant now and nothing can dull your light.
Feel yourself now.
You are made of light,
Every fiber of your being glowing with the purest love and truth.
This illumination not only transforms you but reflects outward,
Touching everything and everyone in your outer world.
This is how we heal the world by staying connected to our own light and truth.
Before you leave this space,
Please place your hands on your heart and repeat these affirmations to yourself.
I am pure light,
Untouchable by fear or doubt.
I have washed away what is not mine to carry.
My soul radiates love and resilience.
The outside world cannot define me.
I am whole,
Bright and powerful.
My light transforms everything it touches.
I release the beliefs that no longer serve me.
My inner soul truth is my strength.
I trust my heart,
My soul and my inner wisdom.
I am the love of my own life.
And now,
When you feel ready,
Return slowly from the river and the forest back to your physical being in this very moment.
Knowing the river of redemption will always be here for you.
You can listen to this audio healing journey whenever you have anything you need to wash away.
The river of redemption is your sacred place,
Your eternal sanctuary.
Trust its power,
Trust your light,
And know that you are everything you've ever needed to be.
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes and go and live the greatest and most beautiful life that was ever created.
Because it was always meant for you.
