Guided Imagery: Relaxing Savasana
Guided Imagery - Allowing your body to sink down. Imagining a gentle picture full of relaxation being poured over the top of your head. Feel the cool sensation traveling down your forehead, washing away any tension, allowing the thoughts to become clearer, that they can easily wash away with that relaxation. Feeling that sense of relax pouring down through your jaw. Relax the tongue.

The Filter
Every morning, before your feet hit the floor, you make a choice.
You may not realize you are making it. It happens quietly, in the space between sleep and waking, before the first notification, before the first obligation, before the day has had a chance to tell you who it needs you to be. But the choice is there. And it shapes everything that follows.
You choose your filter.

Guided Imagery: Tree
Guided Imagery - Finding presence.
Settling into now at this moment. Not needing to change anything, make it different. Just be the observer right now. Gently allow yourself to soften.

Guided Imagery: Strong
As you settle into meditation, allowing your body to take on a seat of strength and power. Feeling your spine become more elongated and erect. Feeling your chest rise in pride and accomplishment.
As you breathe in, feeling strength coming into your lungs. And as you softly close your eyes, at the same time allowing a sense of ease to cover your face, to drop through your shoulders.
Noticing that both power and ease can happen at the same time.
