your eyes feel heavy

your whole being feels safe and heavy

heavier now

and heavier still

you feel the needless weight of stress

lifting gently off your shoulders

releasing effortlessly from your jaw

all tensions and concerns are gently leaving the space behind your eyes

you are relaxed

free, calm, tranquil, smiling

breathing

floating, exhaling all that is no longer needed,

floating above the tranquil deep blue lake

floating up into the warm, soft caress of clouds like cotton

comfortable in your skin, and in your life, and with your choices

you are at peace

peace lives within you

you are free once more to be a believer in trust,

in yourself -- your beautiful deserving self

*

you are

happier than you have been

in far too long

*

you are at one with yourself, your many selves

*

you are ready now

to open your eyes anew --

but keep eyes closed just a moment longer --

for this one perfect moment, be still

be in it

be free

feel free

know your self with the permission you need from none but you

you are

at peace

floating effortlessly

breathing

grateful

happy

*

when I count back down from 3, to 2, to 1, your eyes may open

and you will

remember

yourself

and all the love

surrounding you

rising up to welcome you

home
