This guided visualization can be used at the end of a yoga practice,
The end of a day before bed,
Or anytime you're in need of five minutes to reset.
Begin by lying down,
Becoming really comfortable,
Finding anything you need to support you.
Maybe a pillow under the head and under the knees,
A blanket.
Just becoming really comfortable.
And as you become more present,
Your mind becomes more still,
I'll begin to guide you into this visualization.
Imagine that beneath you in this moment is the soft,
Warm soil,
The forest floor.
The soil lifts and forms to your body,
Holding you here,
Completely supported.
You can hear the songs of different birds in the trees above you.
You feel the gentle breeze and hear it in the leaves rustling in the wind.
And as you breathe in,
You are filled with the scent of pine and wildflowers.
Tuning in to the earth beneath you,
You can feel her steady heartbeat.
And without any effort at all,
You notice that your own beating heart syncs with the rhythm of the earth.
Allow the earth to feel your love and your gratitude.
Fully tuning in to those gifts of support,
Of grounding,
Of life.
Lying here so still,
So at peace.
Allow yourself now to let go,
Fully release.
Letting go of any limiting beliefs,
Any self-doubt,
Anything that has been blocking your peace,
Your ability to experience this ultimate peace and joy that is your birthright.
Allowing the earth to transfuse,
Transform this energy into something else,
No longer yours to carry.
Whenever you're ready,
You can gently invite movement into your fingers and toes,
Letting yourself gently return back to awareness.
