Go ahead and close your eyes,
Put yourself in a comfortable position,
There you have your feet on the floor,
Or you're sitting cross-legged or reclining,
Be somewhere really comfortable so you're not thinking about how you're sitting,
What it feels like.
We're going to take a deep breath in,
And then we're going to exhale,
We're just going to move our shoulders and move our head a little bit and just let loose tension and take another deep breath in,
And this time exhale and let your shoulders drop,
Let the tension go,
Inhale,
Again,
And again exhale,
And let it go,
Let go of your burdens,
Let go of everything you need to do,
Just let go,
Just breathe in and out,
And as we settle in,
You think about taking a little trip,
A trip to a quiet,
Safe,
Happy place that you can retreat to,
Where there's nothing to worry about,
And you can sit in peace and love and be,
So we're going to find that place,
We're going to start down a path,
Just what you would imagine,
That you're walking in a beautiful meadow,
It's a beautiful day,
Temperature is just right,
You can feel a soft breeze,
The sun is shining on you,
The sky is blue,
There are beautiful clouds in the sky,
And you were just walking through this field,
There's barely a path,
And just head into this field and the grass is waving and there's flowers blooming,
Yellow and purple,
Just walk through this field,
And you're walking towards the woods,
And when you get towards the woods,
You're wandering through and you can smell the dampness and the coolness,
And just wander through these woods,
At the other end of the woods,
You're going to climb a mountain,
And it's easy,
It's just an incline,
And you don't even feel it,
You're just heading up this mountain,
And you're feeling the air get cooler,
And you can still feel the breeze,
And you're safe,
And you're calm,
And nothing needs you right now,
You're just on your way to the top of this mountain,
To find your place,
And you find yourself at the top of this mountain,
You got there effortlessly,
It was so easy,
And here you are,
And it's a grassy slope,
And it's even,
And you can just see everything from here,
You can see mountains,
You can see the ocean,
You can see everything that you want to see out there in the world,
But this is your space right here,
It's almost like a tabletop,
There's all this room for you,
And you can make it any way that you want,
So you're going to settle down on this mountaintop,
And just think about how you want it to be,
Is it grassy,
Is it soft,
Do you have a big oriental rug that you can lie down on,
Do you have a gorgeous throne,
Or a sumptuous puffy chair,
Velvety that you can sit in,
Just a space that's just yours to relax in,
Now just think about this,
You can put anything you want up here,
You're on the top of the world,
And it's your space,
So just imagine what it feels like up here,
The temperature again is just right,
And the breeze is fine,
And the sun is shining,
And everything is right with the world,
And I want you to just settle in to your spot that you've created here,
And just look out onto all of God's creation,
You can see it all,
And you're at the center of it,
So I want you to take another deep breath in,
And exhale,
And just claim this space,
And then you can stop worrying about what it looks like,
And what it feels like,
Just be here,
Just settle in,
Settle in,
If you're lying down,
If you're sitting up,
If you just want to wander around this space,
And look around,
This is your space,
It's your time,
Take a deep breath in,
And exhale,
This is your space,
This is a place you can go to at any time,
At any moment,
When you need to retreat,
When you need to touch base,
When you need to pull back your energy,
This is your special spot,
Sit here,
And enjoy it,
You don't have to think about anything,
You don't have to be anywhere,
But right here,
Good,
You're doing great,
You get distracted,
Just let it go,
Let it roll off the mountain,
No place for any of that here,
It's just you,
It's just you,
And just what you need,
And so let that smile come on your face,
Put your hand over your heart,
Enjoy this moment,
Well done,
Well done,
It's time to come back,
But don't worry,
Because this space is always here for you,
And you can get here just by thinking about it,
Take a look around,
And we're gonna head back down the mountain,
And you can practically float down,
It's so easy to get back,
And we go back through the woods,
And they're cool and beautiful,
And the sunshine is peeking through the leaves,
And it opens up into that gorgeous meadow,
And you find that path back,
Back to where you're sitting right now,
And you just come back into your body,
And you are so thankful for the time on your mountain,
And to be back in your beautiful,
Magnificent body,
In this magnificent world,
And you bring all that you experience there with you,
Ready to open your eyes and experience life here,
Today,
In this moment.
