Hello and welcome to this guided visualization.
Let's start first with finding a comfortable seated position,
One in which you're upright but relaxed and at ease as much as is possible for you right now.
So just getting comfortable in your seat.
And when you're ready,
Let your attention find the breath.
Not trying to make the breath do anything in particular.
Letting the body breathe itself and just letting the attention notice the rising and the falling.
And the inhale and the exhale.
Breathing in and breathing out.
Letting the breath call you home when the mind has wandered.
Knowing that it's perfectly normal and natural for the mind to wander into thought.
It's not a problem.
It's just what the thinking mind does.
When you notice,
Just note some thinking is happening.
When you're ready,
Gently without judging,
Bringing yourself back to the rise and the fall of the breath.
And now I'm going to invite you to bring your attention to the very top of your head.
The crown of the head.
And I'd like to imagine that there's an opening at the top of your head.
And imagine now that into this opening is poured warm golden honey.
You might bring up an image of honey in your mind.
See the way it looks when the light is shining through it.
And imagining that that warm honey is pouring in through the top of your head and as it enters your head,
It coats the head inside and out with warm golden honey.
And imagining that warm golden honey is dripping down inside on the forehead,
The eyes,
The cheeks,
The brain and inside the cranium.
It's dripping with warm golden honey.
And every cell,
Every part of the body that the warm honey touches is invited to relax,
To receive the warmth as the honey drips down through the lips and the mouth,
Inside the head,
The jaws,
Down into the neck.
So now imagining and feeling as if that warm golden honey is dripping down inside your neck,
The throat,
Coating with warmth and golden brightness.
Every cell of every tissue,
Bone,
Connective tissue,
Muscle.
And as you breathe in and as you breathe out,
Imagining that warm golden honey is dripping down into your shoulders.
Feeling the warm honey to invite letting go in the shoulders.
Feeling the warmth.
And the honey dripping down into the upper arms,
Down the arms,
The elbows.
Bringing down the forearms through the wrists.
Inviting release and relaxation to every cell that is touched by this warm golden honey as it moves into your hands,
Your thumbs,
Your fingers.
And bringing your attention back up towards the shoulders and noticing how the honey is dripping down through your upper back,
The shoulder blades,
And down the chest.
Inviting all the tissues that it touches to release and relax in the warmth of this golden honey as it drips down into the torso,
The mid-back.
Touching all the organs as it moves down into the abdomen and the low back.
Feeling the warmth of that golden honey as it drips down.
Inviting release and relaxation.
And imagining and sensing the warmth of that honey as it moves into your pelvis.
Touching all the organs of the pelvic region.
To the bottom.
The hips.
Now the warm golden honey is dripping down through the hips,
Down into the legs,
Into the thighs.
Inviting all of the muscles,
The connective tissue,
The skin,
All the nerves,
Even the bone to soften and relax in the touch of this warm golden honey.
And allowing the honey to move down through the thighs to the knees.
Feeling the warmth of the honey in the knees,
In the joints of the knees,
The kneecap.
Bringing soothing warmth,
The invitation to let go,
To release,
To relax as it drips down through the knees and into the lower leg,
Down the shins,
Down the calves.
Dripping down,
Warming cell after cell,
Inviting that release,
That relaxation.
And imagining and sensing that warm honey moving down into the ankles.
Coating every tissue of the ankles,
The bones,
Connective tissue,
Muscle,
All the nerves that are in our ankles.
And into the feet,
Tops of the feet,
The sides,
The bottoms,
All the way down into the toes.
Inviting relaxation and release all along the way.
And now imagining and sensing that your whole body,
From the very tips of your toes to the top of your head,
Is filled with warm golden honey.
That every cell of every tissue is touched,
Warmed,
Nourished by the golden warmth of this honey.
And just noticing the breath,
Easy and natural,
Allowing your attention to be easy and natural.
As you take a few moments to rest in this state,
Infused with golden warm honey.
Breathing in and breathing out.
Bathed in the warmth of the golden honey.
Rest and at ease.
Doing in this state just as long as you'd like to.
