Mind

Begin by gently bringing your attention to your breath. Breathing in… and breathing out. No need to change anything. Just noticing.

In… and out…

With each breath, let your body settle just a little more. Let your shoulders drop. Let your eyelids feel heavier. Let your tongue soften in your mouth. Let gravity hold you.

Your mind may wander — and that’s okay. Every time it does, gently bring it back to your breath.

Feel the rhythm… in… and out…

Now say gently to yourself in your mind: “I allow myself to go deep. I am safe. I trust this process.”

Now, imagine you are standing at the edge of a beautiful forest at twilight. The air is soft, the breeze gentle, the sky streaked with the final light of day.

This forest is yours. It’s not any ordinary forest. This is the forest of your inner world, and somewhere deep inside it lies a hidden sanctuary, where your truest self rests — waiting to be met.

As you take a step forward onto the path, you feel the soft crunch of leaves beneath your feet. The scent of pine, earth, and something familiar — like memory — fills your lungs. Each step takes you deeper inward. The trees gently sway in greeting. This forest knows you.

As you walk, you begin to notice small symbols appearing on the trees — carvings, maybe — signs of the parts of you that you’ve hidden, forgotten, or never dared to name.

Some are joyful. Some painful. Some erotic. Some confusing. They’re all here. Watching you. Waiting.

You continue deeper. The light dims, but you are never afraid. This forest is safe. You belong here.

And soon, you reach a clearing. In its center stands an old stone structure, like a sanctuary, or temple — it pulses gently, alive, like it’s breathing with you.

You step toward it.

Now, let’s go deeper…

With every breath you take, imagine a gentle wave of soft light washing over you — from the top of your head down to your toes. This wave quiets the surface of your mind and allows your deeper truths to float upward.

As I count from 10 down to 1, let yourself drift down deeper into this sacred space within yourself:

10… Letting go of the outer world 9… Deeper still 8… The body relaxing more 7… The mind softening 6… All effort melting away 5… Floating down 4… Resting into yourself 3… Your unconscious mind opening 2… Deeper still… 1… You are now fully within the sanctuary of your inner self.

You step inside the stone structure. It is warm. Dimly lit with a glow that seems to come from the walls themselves. And in the center is a mirror — not just any mirror — but one that shows your truth.

You stand in front of it. You are ready.

As you gaze into this mirror, your reflection begins to shift. It shows you not your body — but your inner self.

And in that image, you begin to see the threads of your sexuality — delicate, beautiful, complex.

You may see yourself with women… You may see yourself with men… You may see fantasies, flashes of desire, moments you forgot or never dared to name…

You do not have to judge them. They are just parts of you. Some fleeting. Some permanent. All worthy of seeing.

You may hear a voice — your own voice — saying:

“I allow myself to feel desire.” “I allow myself to not know.” “I allow myself to want.” “I allow myself to explore.” “I allow myself to be curious.” “I allow myself to be whole.”

Even the feelings you’ve hidden — confusion, shame, fear — they are not your enemies. They are parts of your story. Parts that long to be held, not fixed.

Now, the mirror shows you a younger version of yourself — perhaps a teenager or even a child — someone who first began to notice attraction, difference, yearning. Look into their eyes. Say to them:

“You are safe now. You are allowed to be whoever you are.”

Watch as they soften. As their shoulders relax. As they begin to smile.

You are reuniting with all your parts now. The parts that felt different. The parts that wanted something outside the norm. The parts that longed for connection, touch, intimacy, exploration. They are not bad. They are human.

And in this sacred space, you are allowed — allowed to feel, to want, to wonder, to question — and never rush to an answer.

Now imagine… a future version of yourself. Perhaps a year from now. Or five. Someone who has explored more deeply. Someone who has let go of shame and embraced the beauty of their truth.

How do they walk? How do they smile? How do they speak about themselves?

They may say:

“I don’t need to fit into a box to be valid.” “I choose connection over fear.” “I explore at my pace.” “I listen to my body, my fantasies, and my truth — with compassion.”

You are not racing toward identity. You are evolving. And your sexuality — like your soul — is a fluid, alive, unfolding story.

And now, it’s time to gently return…

You thank the mirror. You step out of the sanctuary and back into the clearing. You walk slowly through the forest, feeling lighter. You are not the same. You have touched something true.

I will count from 1 to 5, and with each number, you will return more to waking awareness — bringing with you all the insight, safety, and peace of this experience:

1… Bringing back awareness 2… Feeling your body again 3… Moving fingers or toes 4… Taking a deeper breath 5… Eyes gently open, alert, calm, grounded

You are back.

Every time you reflect on your sexuality, you feel more open and grounded. • You grow more comfortable in your own body, in your own truth, no matter what that is. • You give yourself full permission to evolve, question, and change. • You treat each desire, thought, or fantasy with curiosity, not judgment. • You remember: you are not broken. You are becoming. Thank you for allowing yourself this moment of inner truth. You may not have found all the answers — but you found a place where answers can safely emerge.

Be gentle with yourself. Let integration happen slowly. Drink some water. Maybe journal.

And always remember — your truth is yours to unfold.

Until next time. With care. 🌿
