Welcome.
All of our recordings use a real live recorded human voice,
Not AI,
So you can relax knowing that a real person is guiding you.
My name is Rick and I'll be your guiding voice through this recording.
This guided meditation will help you to create a lasting healing space within your mind that is always available to you.
Get ready to sleep as you normally do.
Settle into a comfortable position.
And when you're ready.
Gently allow your eyes to close.
This time is just for you.
To begin to relax.
You may wish at this point.
To think of something you can later associate with this safe healing space.
It can be something as simple as a pebble you picked up.
A photograph or image you can look at.
A crystal or piece of jewellery.
Or it could be something in your imagination.
You do not need to do this.
But if it aids you,
Then feel free to do so.
Bring your attention to your breathing.
Not changing it.
Not controlling it.
Just.
Noticing.
Breathing in.
.
.
End.
Breathing out.
Feeling the gentle rhythm of each inhale.
And each exhale.
And with every breath out.
Allow your body to soften just a little more.
Bring your awareness to the top of your head.
And imagine a wave of relaxation beginning there.
Slowly flowing down across your forehead.
Like a drift of gossamer.
Down over your eyes.
Your cheeks.
And your jaw.
If you notice any tension here.
Invited to loosen.
Let your tongue rest gently in your mouth.
Let your shoulders drop away from your ears.
Allow this wave of calm.
To move down through your arms.
Your elbows.
Your hands and fingertips.
Your chest rises and falls with each breath.
Your back is supported.
Your stomach softens.
And this feeling of ease continues down through your hips.
Lex.
Your knees.
Your calves.
The way to the soles of your feet.
Your body is now resting.
Supported.
Safe.
Take a deeper breath in.
.
.
And a long,
Slow breath out.
As you breathe.
Imagine you are gently drifting.
.
.
Like floating on calm water.
Effortless.
Peaceful.
Your mind's eye.
Begin to imagine your space of healing and safety.
A place that is comforting.
And that surround you with gentle healing.
It doesn't matter if this is a real or imagined place.
Simply allow your own vision of it.
To form naturally.
Or reveal itself.
It could be a room.
A house.
A place outside,
Such as a forest or beach.
Notice the colors around you.
The quality of the light.
Is it warm and cold,
Anne?
Cool and gentle.
Soft and soothing.
There may be a breeze blowing.
Or it might be perfectly still.
Become aware of any sounds.
Maybe birdsong.
Gentle waves.
Leaves moving in the wind.
Crackle of a fire.
Or the chime of an old clock.
Or perhaps silence.
Whatever is here.
Is perfectly right.
This place exists purely for you.
And here is healing both mental and physical.
As you stand or sit.
Within this healing space.
Notice how your body feels here.
How your breathing feels easier.
How your mind feels quieter.
Here you are completely safe.
Nothing can disturb you.
Nothing can harm you.
This space is protected.
Is only what supports your well-being.
Is allowed to exist here.
Anything stressful.
Anything heavy.
Anything overwhelming!
Stays outside.
You don't need to fix anything here.
You don't need to understand anything.
You can simply rest.
Imagine that within this space.
.
.
There is a place for you to settle.
Perhaps a comfortable seat.
A soft patch of grass.
A bench.
Her cushion.
Or somewhere to lie down.
Move towards it.
And gently settle in.
Feel how supported you are.
Take a moment.
To truly arrive.
Breathing in calm.
And breathing out tension.
With every breath.
Your sense of safety deepens.
Your nervous system begins to settle.
Your body remembers how to relax.
Now imagine that this safe space has a boundary.
Not a word.
But a gentle protective edge.
Boundary made of light.
Of warmth.
Energy.
This boundary keeps you safe.
Allows you to feel contained.
Held.
Nothing crosses this boundary.
Unless you invite it.
Notice how empowering it feels to have a place belongs entirely to you.
A place you can return to at any time.
Day or night.
Moments of stress.
Uncertainty.
Overwhelmed.
Whenever you feel.
That you need a moment.
To heal.
And be still.
If you like.
You can now add the object you have mentally chosen to this space.
It can be something real.
Or imagined.
A stone.
A light.
A tree.
Flame.
Or something deeply personal to you.
Allow it to appear.
Notice how it makes you feel.
Safe.
Grounded.
Comforted.
This object.
Holds the intention of projection and reassurance.
It reminds you.
You are capable of creating safety within yourself.
Bring your awareness back to your breath.
Breathing gently.
Naturally.
And as you breathe.
Repeat silently in your mind.
I am safe.
I am giving myself time to heal.
I am supported.
Again.
I am safe.
I allow the healing to surround me and I absorb it.
Let these words sink in.
Not forcing them.
Just allowing them to be felt.
Even if part of you doubts.
That's OK.
You don't need to convince yourself.
Simply allow the possibility of this healing place to exist.
Take some time now.
To simply be in this space.
You don't need to leave it behind.
Because it lives within your imagination.
Your memory.
Your breath.
You can return here.
At any time.
With just a few.
Slow.
Breaths.
