Find a comfortable position,
Whether sitting or lying down.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath,
And exhale slowly.
Do this a few times,
And notice how your body softens and your mind calms.
Feel that you are here,
In this moment.
Nothing is urgent,
Nothing needs to change,
You are exactly where you are meant to be.
Gently place your hand over your heart,
And notice the feeling of contact.
Feel your heart beat,
It beats only for you,
A reminder that you are alive,
That you are here.
Imagine or simply think that you are sinking into your heart,
As if walking along a path leading inward.
With each breath,
You go deeper and deeper,
Down to a place where your soul rests.
In this space,
There is silence,
But also traces of everything you have carried with you.
Memories,
Emotions,
Wounds,
Joys,
You allow them to be there,
Just as they are,
Without judgement.
Before you,
You see a flame,
An inner fire that has burned within you all your life.
This is the light of your essence,
Your pure self.
But perhaps this flame has been hidden behind layers of old wounds,
Disappointments or forgotten joy.
Imagine gently letting go of what no longer serves you,
Uncertainty,
Fear and doubt.
You place them in the flame,
And watch as they slowly transform into light and warmth.
What happens within you when you let go?
Feel it and know that you are safe,
That you are loved,
That you are whole.
As the old layers disappear,
You may begin to feel something new growing,
A lightness,
A peace,
A sense of remembering.
Remembering the pure,
Uncomplicated joy that has always been within you,
The laughter of childhood,
Moments when you felt free,
Loved,
Alive.
Joy is not something you need to find,
It has always been there,
Like a river beneath the ice.
Now the ice melts,
And the water can flow freely again.
Let this joy fill your body.
Imagine it's breathing like the wave of golden light from your heart to every cell.
It cleanses,
Heals and awakens you once more.
Feel what it is like to be filled with this joy.
Not a superficial happiness,
But a deep,
Quiet joy,
And knowing that you are enough,
That you have always been enough.
Think of something you are grateful for right now.
It can be something small,
Or something big.
Let this gratitude sink deeply into you.
It's time to bring this feeling back into your everyday life,
So take a few deep breaths and feel your body again.
When you are ready,
You may open your eyes.
Carry this joy with you into your life.
The joy you seek is already within you,
And every time you need to remember it,
You can return here.
