For this relaxation,
You can either sit or lie down.
Just make sure that you're warm enough and that you're comfortable and let your hands rest loosely in your lap or by your side.
And now close your eyes.
Become aware of your breathing and notice how your abdomen rises and falls with each breath.
Now take a long,
Slow,
Deep breath in through your nose,
All the way down into your stomach.
Count to four and inhale in.
Taking the breath for four and then exhaling out through your mouth for four.
Allowing your breath this way to carry all the stress and tension as the air floods out of your lungs.
So let's do that again together.
Taking another slow breath in through your nose,
Filling your lungs completely and then holding it for two,
Three,
Four.
And releasing the breath through your mouth.
Filling your lungs completely with your out breath.
Now do it again.
Breathing in through your nose,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Hold it,
Two,
Three,
Four.
And then let it go,
Two,
Three,
Four.
And you can feel that your body has already undergone a change and that the tension in your body has begun to loosen and subside.
Letting your breath return to normal,
Just relaxing,
Listening to the sounds occurring in your surroundings.
Inhaling in the relaxation and exhaling out any tension.
And from this position of relaxation,
We can begin the guided imagery.
Imagine that you're stepping into your shower,
But know that this time the shower is magical.
The water comes out at the perfect temperature and you just stand there and feel the warm water running over you.
Making your breathing relaxed so it's nice and deep and slow.
The warm water has now washed away all the stress and all the tension.
Look down to your feet and see all of the tension and stress simply being washed away.
Imagine what color the water might be that is washing down the drain.
And now notice the clear water from the shower head.
Noticing that the water starts to change color and first the water turns into a beautiful,
Vibrant red.
The red water pours down and energizes you right to your core.
So just stand there a moment and feel yourself infused with the beautiful,
Vibrant red.
And feel this color washing away all of your fears and without any resistance,
Your fears are simply washed down the drain and taken away.
It's that easy.
Release your fears to the warm red water.
And you are now free from fear.
And after a moment the water starts to change color again.
And this time it becomes a brilliant shade of orange.
Orange that opens you to experience joy and allows you to release shame and guilt.
And feel the orange wash over you.
Feel the orange color wash through you,
Washing away all that no longer serves and making more space in your life for joy.
And then the water becomes a bright shade of yellow.
And feel the yellow water cleanse any emotional pain.
Realize that some things are out of your control and you can best handle them when you are calm and collected.
And feel your body strengthen and become more secure.
Yellow clears the mind and invigorates the digestive system.
So take a nice deep breath and feel the clarity within.
And now notice that the water begins to turn a brilliant shade of green,
Balancing and restoring the physical body.
Green purifies the whole system,
Renewing your expression of love and forgiveness.
And just as you love,
You are loved.
Feel the green water open your heart to all the love you deserve and know that you are connected to all.
And then the water changes to a beautiful,
Cooling,
Magical blue.
And this blue enhances self-expression,
Allowing you to speak your truth,
The universal truth.
Feel the blue all around you,
Allowing you to express yourself according to your true self,
Tilting your head back so that the blue water falls right on your throat.
And let the warm water relax all the muscles of your neck,
Breathing in and out freely.
And the water changes color again.
It now changes to a color containing indigo and purple.
Feel it land on your crown and wash all over you.
Indigo and purple stimulates your own healing power and wisdom.
Indigo stimulates your third eye and your intuition.
And purple increases your cosmic connection.
So feel the calming influence of the velvet dark colors of indigo and purple.
And finally,
The water turns to a brilliant glowing white light.
Feel it embrace you warm and pure.
This heavenly white takes away any pain and heals any hurt.
It shows you the peace and joy within your own spirit.
Take this moment to enjoy the white light that surrounds you,
That fills you,
That holds you secure.
Enjoy how you feel.
Enjoy being yourself.
And know that you are perfect.
And as you bathe in the white light,
Know that you are now cleansed inside and out in body,
Mind,
And spirit.
You are standing in peace and harmony with yourself and the world,
Both physical and spiritual.
So appreciate this last bit of the magical color shower and take a few refreshing breaths before you turn off the taps and you step out of the shower.
And as you towel yourself dry in your imagination,
Feel your body.
Feel that your muscles are relaxed.
Feel that your energy has been revitalized.
And feel that your spirit is fresh,
Your mind is clear,
And that you are looking forward to what is to come.
Become conscious of your breath.
And maybe now you can begin to wiggle your toes and your fingers.
Rest your position and slowly open your eyes.
And you are free to sit in this space for a while.
You are free to just be.
Namaste.
Namaste.
