Journey Into A Forest To Release Self-Imposing Constraints

This is a guided visualization that will take you into a shadowy forest which feels initially imposing and constraining, but as you continue through, you release those constraints on yourself and release having to meet other people's needs. You then step into an open space of infinite possibilities, where you have many options in front of you, rather than having to control the outcome.

Today we're going on a journey where you might see in yourself that you have to be in control like maybe the things in your life have to be done in a certain way so you need a certain level of control over how they're done or you might have to meet other people's needs and we're going to go in and let go of those things let go of the control and let go of meeting other people's needs so before we get started take a moment and think of either a situation where you have to have a certain level of control know how things are done or a situation where you have to meet other people's needs and just think of a situation and then we'll get into the journey so then get yourself comfortable take a seat or lay down and when you're ready you can close your eyes and take a nice deep breath and just notice where you are right now how does your body feel in this moment notice any tightness any areas that you can breathe into and let them relax a little and again take a nice deep and centering breath and in your mind's eye imagine you're standing at the edge of a dense shadowy forest the trees are tall and imposing their branches are shrouded in darkness you feel a sense of confinement and control pressing in on you like a heavy energetic chains are holding you back as you step cautiously into the forest the shadows seem to close in around you representing the need for control and possibly a constant pursuit of having to meet others needs it's as though the forest itself embodies the constraints and limitations you've placed on yourself take a moment here and notice that feeling of pressure on your body the feeling of being pushed in on then you continue walking with each step you take you become more aware of the weight of these needs the pressure of them on you and the relentless drive for control it's as if you're navigating through a labyrinth of your own making unable to see beyond the immediate pressures and demands of your life as you continue to move deeper into the forest something begins to shift the air becomes lighter and the shadows start to recede the dense woods give way to a clearing and suddenly you find yourself standing in a lush open space before you stretches a landscape of infinite possibility it's a place where possibilities bloom like wildflowers and dreams take flight with the freedom of a soaring bird this transformation from the shadowy woodlands to this open space represents a profound shift in your perception and mindset you feel lighter and noticing in your body you take a breath and breathe more in fully you feel at ease and almost like you're floating and you feel so light now while you were passing through the shadowy woods you were letting go of the need for control and those constraints of immediate needs take that in for a moment letting yourself feel how differently your body and you feel without the pressures without the needs for control and without having to meet other people's needs without those constraints that you've put on yourself and now they're in front of you stand a realm of boundless opportunity the space feels light and open and full of new possibilities that can come to you and fulfill you as you breathe in the fresh invigorating air of this open space you can feel again the pressures of control and need completely dissolve you realize that you no longer have to confine yourself to a limited view of what's possible your dreams and desires are as vast and expanse as the horizon before you take a moment to absorb the energy of this new limitless space feel the sense of freedom and empowerment welling up within you here you are free to explore create and manifest your wildest dreams enjoy the space for as long as you like taking in the energies and seeing what new ideas or ways of being come into your awareness while you're in this space can you be in this space and let go of things needing to happen in certain ways there's thousands of potentials that can happen and might even happen in a loving happier joyful way take a moment and enjoy the energies a little longer and see what awarenesses come to you you take another breath you know you can return to this lush open space of infinite potential whenever you need to remind yourself of the boundless opportunities that awaits you when you're ready you make your way back through the shadowy forest but you realize the shadows no longer affect you as you are emanating the light from you and the shadows are chased away you continue back to where you started feeling lighter and emanating light you come back to the here and now back into your body and you open your eyes carrying with you the awareness that you have the power to transcend limits and embrace a life filled with limitless possibilities and you come back to you thank you for joining me on this journey i am amy c with you finding you
