I invite you to close your eyes.
Help yourself to a comfortable position,
Sitting or laying down.
We're going to take a deep breath in.
And then we'll exhale.
And we're just going to move our shoulders and move our head a little bit and let our tension begin to loosen.
Take another deep breath in.
And this time when you exhale,
Let your shoulders drop.
Inhale.
And really exhale out any thoughts you're holding on to.
Let the tension go.
Let your to-do list go.
Let where you need to be next go.
Let go of everything you need to do right now.
Deep inhale.
And exhale deeply.
Just let it go.
We are going on a little journey.
A trip to a quiet,
Safe,
Happy place that you can retreat to when you need some space,
When you need to rest,
When you need to reset.
And here there's nothing to worry about.
You can sit in peace and love and just be.
You are going to create that place,
So it is always here for you.
So let us get going.
Imagine that you were taking your first steps down a path.
Walking in a beautiful meadow.
It's a beautiful day.
The temperature is just right.
You can feel a soft breeze.
The birds are singing.
The bees are buzzing.
The sun is shining on you.
The skies are blue with puffy white clouds.
And you are walking through this field along a clear path.
Let your fingertips brush the grass,
Waving at the edge of the path as you walk by.
Inhale the sweet smell of the wildflowers,
Blooming yellow and purple.
Ahead of you is a small forest,
And you follow this path into the woods.
The trees soar above you and the sunlight twinkles in through the leaves.
You can smell the dampness and feel the coolness.
You can feel the crunch of twigs under your feet.
And at the other end of the woods,
There is a mountain.
And you are going to climb this mountain to the very top.
And it's so easy for you.
You just walk,
Jump,
Bound and fly to the top.
And here you are.
On top of the world.
You've gotten here effortlessly.
It was so easy,
And here you are.
And it's flat and wide and grassy,
And you can see everything from here.
Mountains,
Rivers,
Villages,
Even the ocean and the stars.
You can see everything that you want to see out there in the world.
But this is your space right here,
Right now.
You are safe.
You are calm.
You are completely present.
This is your spot.
And you are going to get comfortable.
Settle down,
Relax,
And hang out here for a little while.
You can make this spot any way you want it to be.
Do you have a big oriental rug and a velvet couch?
A couple of grand old trees and a hammock?
Or do you have a gorgeous throne?
Or a sumptuous puffy chair.
You can make this space anything you want it to be.
You are on top of the world.
This is your space.
The temperature is just right,
And the breeze is fine,
And the sun is shining,
And everything is right with the world.
Now I want you to just settle into this lovely spot that you've created here just for you.
Take a deep breath in and exhale.
And claim this space as your sacred retreat.
Just be.
Let go.
Breathe in and breathe out.
This is a place where you can go at any time.
At any moment.
Your personal mountaintop retreat.
I'm going to leave you alone to enjoy your spot for a bit.
This is your space.
This is your time.
Well done.
Well done.
It's time to think about coming back.
Put your hand over your heart.
Savor this moment.
This place that you have created for yourself.
It's just for you,
And it's just what you need.
Know that this place is always here for you.
And you can get here just by thinking about it.
Take a final look around.
I'm going to lead you back down the mountain.
At this point,
You can practically float down.
It's so easy to get back.
We descend to the woods and you are grounded by the smells of the earth.
The forest is cool and beautiful and the sunshine is peeking through the leaves.
And it opens up into that gorgeous meadow.
And the sun warms your skin.
And you follow the path back to where you are now.
You can slowly open your eyes and bring some movement back into your body.
We are thankful for this time on the mountain.
And glad to be back in our beautiful bodies in this magnificent world.
Know that you have created this place for yourself and you can go back anytime.
Welcome back.
