Find a deep breathin, aware of any tension in the body. As you exhale, relax whatever tension youcan. Deep breath in, aware of any busyness of mind. As you exhale, invite calmto the mind. Deep breath in, aware of your emotional space. As you exhale,invite lightness to any heaviness of emotion. Close your eyes. Here, imagine walking along a rugged path in the woods. Imagine the sensation of smallsticks and fallen leaves crunching beneath the supportive shoes around yourfeet. Feel the subtle shift in texture as you continue walking over and across smallstones and the roots of trees. Imagine walking slowly, mindfully, feeling everyfootfall, observing a light breeze moving leaves on trees. Imagine feeling thecoolness of the breeze on your skin, warm rays of sunlight cutting across bluesky and branches.As you walk, suddenly you see a door in the middle of the path. What color is the door? What shape is the door knob? What does your door look like? Reaching out your handto open the door, you notice bright light beaming through the small crack inthe door. As you continue to gently push the door open the bright light beamsbrighter and you feel the sensation of warmth and the feeling of love washingover you. Stepping through the door, you become fully enveloped in this wash ofwarmth and love, the light too bright to fully open your eyes, you close youreyes, and rest. Standing still in the light, you feel a deep sense of calm andconnection to yourself and all life. Taking another step forward, you find yourself again amidst the nature of the woods,standing upon dirt and rock and leaf and grass, feeling connected to the livingtrees. Letting go of this image, bring your awareness back to the supportbeneath your body, to the air on your skin in the space you’re in. Aware ofyour breath, sensation in the body, your mental and emotional space, bringgentle movement to the body. Wiggle your fingers, wiggle your toes, waking upthe body. Then blinking open your eyes, moving with a greater sense of love andease into your day.
