Instructions: Find a comfortable place to sit where you won't be disturbed for a few minutes.

Read through this journey first, and then, if you like, close your eyes and allow the scenes to unfold in your imagination. You don't have to remember every detail. Simply follow what stays with you.

Take a few gentle, slow breaths.

As you breathe out, allow any tension in your body to soften, release, and dissolve.

Imagine that you're walking along a beautiful, peaceful beach.

The waves are gently rolling onto the shore and retreating into the ocean.

Feel the air around you.

You watch them come in and go out.

In and out.

With every wave, your body relaxes a little more.

Now imagine walking toward the water.

ou step into the ocean, and instead of sinking, you begin to float effortlessly.

You can breathe easily here. You are completely safe.

Slowly, gently, you float deeper and deeper beneath the surface.

The sunlight filters through the water above you.

And eventually, you arrive at the ocean floor.

There, much to your surprise, is a beautiful fire burning.

Yes, a fire beneath the ocean!

And gathered around it are three beings.

You may not recognize their faces, but there's something strangely familiar about them.

You know they are wise and benevolent. You feel completely at ease in their presence.

One of them smiles and invites you to sit beside the fire.

You join them.

For a little while, everyone sits quietly, enjoying the warmth of the flames.

Then one of the beings turns toward you.

Is there something on your mind? Something you'd like to ask us?

Take a moment.

Perhaps there's a worry you've been carrying, a decision you've been struggling with, or a question you haven't been able to answer.

Ask your question.

Now the three beings sends a beautiful, radiant light toward your heart.

The light gently surrounds you, filling you with warmth and peace.

You don't need to do anything.

Just receive.

Perhaps an answer comes as a thought, an image, a feeling, or a quiet sense of knowing.

Perhaps you simply experience a moment of peace.

Allow yourself to stay with whatever arises for a few long moments.

… (Pause) …

Now, thank the three beings with palms folded or simply emitting a sense of gratitude towards them.

Now, you begin floating gently upward, through the beautiful ocean waters, until you reach the surface.

You return to the shore.

The waves are still coming in and going out.

In and out.

Feel the sand beneath your feet.

Now you are back in your room.

Take a slow, deep breath.

Become aware of your body and the space around you.

Stretch your arms and legs.

And when you're ready, open your eyes.

Welcome back.

Before stepping away from your seat, give yourself a little moment to reflect on what you experienced.

Did any images, feelings, thoughts, or insights arise?

Did something surprise you?

You might like to write down whatever comes to mind - keywords or whole sentences. Do not judging it or censor yourself. This is for your eyes only and you can throw it away if you like afterwards.

You can also draw, doodle, write key words and phrases or record an audio. You can choose how you process this experience.

And you can also simply close your eyes and review the main ideas or feelings that emerged for you.

And if nothing particular happened, that's perfectly okay, too.

Sometimes simply giving ourselves a few moments of peace is enough.

Warmly,
Sophia
