Take a moment to ground down into the earth.
Feel your sit bones contacting the chair beneath you or your feet firm on the floor.
Feel the in and out of your breath.
Just be here in this moment.
Bring your hands to heart center.
Feel the energy running from your fingertips.
I want you to imagine that there is this white beam of light shooting through your eyes.
I want you to imagine that there is this white beam of light shooting up through your head and down into the earth,
Connecting you to both the stars and the sky and the earth beneath your feet.
Bring your hands up above your head.
And on your next inhale,
Lower them down for six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
And back up for six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Lower down for six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Back up for six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Back up for six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Lower down for six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Back up for six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
And lower down for six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
And back up for six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
And place your hands on your heart center.
Feel the energy beneath your palms,
The beating of your heart.
And bring your hands to rest by your sides or in your lap.
Now imagine that your eyes are rolling into the back of your head.
Now imagine that your eyes are rolling into the back of your head,
Into the darkness behind your eyes.
As your eyes roll back,
You slowly start to descend down into the depths of that darkness,
Floating down,
Down,
Down like Alice in Wonderland floating gently,
Just like a feather floating deeper and deeper down,
Slowly coming to rest at the bottom,
On this floor.
You realize that you are in a cave.
It's dimly lit,
Feels warm and comforting and inviting.
As you get up and walk slowly towards the candlelight,
You see a hole in the ground,
The ladder descending down.
You begin to climb down the ladder deeper and deeper,
Feeling more relaxed and comfortable with each rung,
Deeper and deeper down.
Once you've reached the bottom,
You turn and see this beautiful,
Ornate door,
The most beautiful door you've ever seen,
Big and welcoming.
You open up the door and see your favorite place in nature as you walk through.
Just take a moment to take in what you're seeing,
Beautiful surroundings.
Out in front of you,
A path begins to open up.
You begin to walk down the path,
Enjoying the scenery as you walk by,
Feeling the temperature of the air perfectly comfortable.
The path begins to wind to this meadow,
Opens up.
There's tall grass on either side and butterflies flying around,
Beautiful flowers.
Along the path,
You see a child,
Little ways down the path,
Begin to walk towards them.
As you get closer,
You realize it's you,
You as your younger self,
And they're so excited to see you.
They run up to you and open their arms,
Ready for a huge hug.
They wrap their arms around you and you lift them up and spin them around.
And as you set them down,
You realize that they're holding a beautiful box.
It's this ornate,
Beautifully decorated box,
And they're holding it gently in their hands,
So excited for you to see it.
They hold it up to you and you realize that there's a lock on it.
They're wanting you to open the box,
And so you pick up the box,
And as you touch the lock,
It begins to melt away,
Turning into beautiful,
Cold dust in your hands.
When you open the box,
This bright,
Shimmering light just surrounds you.
It's absorbing into your skin.
It is just permeating everything in its path and surrounding you in this warm glow.
As that light surrounds you,
You begin to see or feel or sense your gifts,
Your natural talents,
The things that you came into this world knowing,
Already honed,
Ready to share with the rest of us.
And just take a moment to feel these,
To embody these,
To sense the gifts that are uniquely yours.
Once you've felt these sensations,
You can close the box.
The light is still a part of you.
There will be no more locks on what is uniquely yours to share with the rest of the world.
Your younger self looks up at you and grins,
Knowing that you finally see what they knew all along as a part of you.
Your younger self reaches back up to you with open arms,
And as you hug them in close,
They merge with you,
A part of you,
A piece of you.
They are you.
As you stand back up and turn back on your path,
Holding the box,
Start to walk forward knowing that these gifts are always here for you to access.
They are a part of you.
There is no reason to keep them locked in a box.
They are meant for you to be,
To share them,
To fully express them.
As you begin to walk back on your path,
You slowly fade from this beautiful place,
Knowing that it is always here for you to come back to.
And as you fade,
Coming back into your body,
Wiggling your fingers and your toes,
Taking a deep breath in,
And letting it go.
And beginning to open your eyes and come back into this space.
