Leaves on a stream

Imagine a calm river flowing in front of you as you begin to meditate. Picture colourful leaves floating gently on the surface of the water. Each leaf represents a worry or thought in your mind. As you watch them drift away, let go of those worries and thoughts. Feel yourself becoming lighter and more peaceful with each leaf that passes by. Focus on the present moment, letting the river carry away your worries just like it carries away the leaves. Breathe deeply and relax, allowing the peaceful scene to guide you into a calm and refreshing meditation.

Uphill, downhill

Picture yourself cycling up and down hills, breathing in and out with each pedal.Inhale deeply as you prepare to climb, feeling energised. Exhale slowly, releasing tension as you ascend. At the peak, savour the moment. Then, as you descend, breathe freely, enjoying the ride. Sync your breath with your movement, finding peace in the rhythm of cycling. Allow cycling to become a meditation, where each breath propels you forward with strength and clarity.

Beneath branches

Imagine yourself beneath the comforting embrace of an orange tree, its roots deeply entrenched in the soil, grounding you to the earth. As you absorb the tranquil energy it radiates, finding solace in the gentle sway of its branches and the sweet scent of its fruit-laden branches, a reminder to stay rooted in the present and resilient in the face of life's challenges. The tree's steadfast presence nurtures a sense of inner peace and strength, like the unwavering support of a trusted friend standing by your side through every season ofgrowth and change.
