1. Preparation:

Ask participants to sit or lie down comfortably, keeping their eyes closed.

Begin with gentle cues: “Close your eyes… Start noticing your breath…”

2. Breathwork Progression:

Inhale 3 counts, exhale 3 counts (x2)

Inhale 4 counts, hold briefly, exhale 4 counts

Add contraction of the pelvic floor while inhaling to lift the energy upward

Visualize a light moving from the base of the spine to the head

3. Gratitude and Emotional Activation:

“Now bring to mind someone or something that brings you joy. Feel the love, the connection, and say thank you.”

“Observe your life as it is now. Whatever it contains, say: Thank you for what I’m learning.”

4. Visioning the Ideal Life:

“Visualize the life you long for—with no limits. What are you doing? Who are you with?”

“Now imagine you already have it. There’s nothing to change or chase. Just feel it and say: Thank you.”

Affirm: “I am the creator of my life. I am already living what I choose.”

5. Closing:

“When you’re ready, slowly bring your awareness back. You may open your eyes… no rush.”

Use simplified breathing for children or people with respiratory limitations

Pair with drawing or journaling for multi-modal reflection

Allow seated participation only in large group or short sessions

After the meditation, invite participants to gently open their eyes and take a moment of silence before sharing. Begin by asking them to reflect inwardly on what images, sensations, or emotions stood out most during the visualization. Encourage sharing in pairs or as a group about moments of joy, gratitude, or future visions they experienced. Highlight how these feelings might connect to their current life or group journey. Close by asking participants to consider one insight or intention they wish to carry forward from the meditation into their daily lives.

• Enhanced trust and security within the group, leading to a more cohesive unit.

• Increased relaxation and openness to emotional and sensory experiences.

• Improved understanding of non-verbal communication and the significance of physical space in interpersonal interactions.

Speak slowly and gently, allowing pauses for integration. Encourage silence rather than forcing sharing afterward. If strong emotions arise, acknowledge them with warmth and openness.
