Go on a journey in this guided meditation that will take you to a special place of tranquility and peace.

today

i want to try something different

with you

i want us

to go on a journey

together

this will be your journey

and I will be your guide

i want you to start by focusing on your breathing

focus on breathing in

and out

feel how the breath comes in to your body

feel how the breath leaves your body

breathing

if you choose

you can now close your eyes

i want you to picture a place

where you feel comfortable

and safe

this place could be someplace you’ve been

or someplace you want to go

or you can imagine someplace new

i want you to picture yourself there

i want you to feel yourself there.

how does this place sound?

listen to the sounds.

how does this place smell?

take a deep breath through your nose.

let the smells of this place fill your nose.

how does it feel on your skin?

reach out.

feel this place on your face,

your arms

your hands

your whole body

feel your feet

wiggle your toes

i want you to look around in

the space

of this special place.

look out far and wide

and now I want you to start moving through this space

up ahead you see something

you can’t quite tell what it is

but you know it is something special

go to this thing

when you get there

you see that you are right

this is a very special thing

in fact

it is one of the most special things to you

gently examine your discovery

if you wish,

you can pick it up

you can touch it

you can smell it

taste it

you can hold it close to your heart

and feel how special it is

spend some time with that feeling

once you have spent some time

with your special discovery

i want you to put it back

i want you to leave it there for others

so they can have a special discovery too.

just like you

up ahead there is a door

do you see it?

i want you to walk to the door

when you get there

before you go through the door

i want you to think back to a moment ago

and your discovery

and your feelings

remember how you felt

remember that you have let others find that feeling too

that is a special thing

now turn

to the door

and go through that door

when you walk through

the door

you will come back to where you started

before we went to that special place.

you will come back to the sounds of where you are

you will come back to the smells of where you are

you will come back to your body

and the feelings of where you are

you are back

and you are special

and you know that everyone else is just as special as you

and that is something to cherish.
