Welcome to this peaceful moment in the garden. As you sit comfortably, feel the gentle warmth of the water cradling your feet and the soft blankets surrounding you. Let this space be your sanctuary, a place of calm and renewal.

​

Take a deep breath in through your nose, letting your lungs fill completely, and slowly exhale through your mouth. Feel your shoulders drop as you exhale, releasing any tension. Let’s repeat this three more times together—inhaling deeply, holding briefly at the top, and then releasing fully. With each breath, allow yourself to settle more deeply into this moment.

​

As you breathe, bring your attention to the world around you. Hear the melodies of birds singing, the soft rustling of leaves in the breeze, and the faint whispers of nature. Notice the soothing aroma of the herbs in your foot bath—the grounding black sage, the calming lavender, the protective yerba santa, and the cleansing white sage. These scents wrap around you like a loving embrace, helping you ease into a state of relaxation.

​

Now, bring your focus inward. Notice the rhythm of your breath, moving in and out naturally. Feel your heart beating steadily, your body supported and at ease. This time is just for you, a gift to reconnect with your inner peace.

​

Let’s turn our attention fully to your breath. Begin to notice its natural flow—in through your nose, out through your mouth. With every inhale, imagine drawing in a sense of calm, as if the garden’s serenity is flowing directly into you. With every exhale, release any tension or worry, letting it dissolve into the air around you.

​

As you breathe, picture a soft, golden light surrounding you. This light is warm and gentle, filled with the peace and beauty of the garden. Imagine this golden light growing brighter with each breath, wrapping you in a cocoon of tranquility.

​

Now, let’s deepen this connection. Take a slow, deep breath in, and as you do, visualize this golden light flowing into your body. See it filling your lungs and spreading through your chest. As you exhale, feel it expanding outward, radiating calm and peace to every part of you.

​

With each breath, this light moves further. It flows into your arms and hands, your legs and feet. It reaches your mind, gently quieting any thoughts, bringing a sense of stillness. Allow yourself to rest here, in this calm, radiant light.

​

Now, imagine the garden itself breathing with you. Picture the flowers gently swaying, the trees standing tall, their leaves rustling softly. Each element of this space is alive, offering its peace to you. As you breathe in, feel the life force of the garden entering your body, harmonizing with your own energy. As you breathe out, send gratitude to this space for its beauty and support.

​

Feel the warm water on your feet once more, infused with the love and healing properties of the herbs. Each herb has a purpose: to calm, to ground, to protect, to cleanse. Imagine their essence flowing into you, filling you with balance and serenity.

​

Take a moment now to bring your awareness back to your body. Feel the chair supporting you, the water holding your feet, the gentle weight of the blanket around you. Wiggle your toes slightly in the water, feeling its warmth and the care infused into this moment.

Begin to deepen your breath, taking in the scents of the herbs one last time. With every inhale, feel your body renewed, your mind clear, your spirit light. With every exhale, release anything lingering that you no longer need.

​

When you feel ready, slowly open your eyes. Look around this beautiful garden, a space that reflects the peace within you. Carry this serenity with you as you move through the rest of your day, knowing that you can return to this feeling whenever you need.

​

Close with an affirmation:

"Repeat silently to yourself: I am calm. I am at peace. I am in harmony with myself and the world around me.
