What's the one thing about your health that you wish someone had told you years ago? For me, it was that our gut is the foundation of our overall health and vitality. It's not just about digestion. The gut affects everything from your energy levels and your mood to weight management and even longevity. And this is why I love dieting.

imagining it softening and opening from your head to your face, down your neck, your shoulder and your chest. Soften and open all the way down your back, your belly, your hips, your legs and feet. Breathing and relaxing now.

See if you can imagine yourself standing at the entrance of a peaceful serene forest. The sun is shining and the air is fresh and cool. You walk in and your ears tune into the sounds around you, calming and soothing you. You hear the gentle

rustling of the leaves, the soft chirping of the bird and the occasional sound of a stream flowing nearby. As you continue to walk deeper into the forest, you feel yourself becoming more and more relaxed. Your mind is free from the thoughts and worries

and your body is relaxed and calm, softening and opening. You come across a beautiful clearing with a lush green meadow surrounded by tall trees. You take a moment to sit down and breathe in the beauty and peace around you. In this clearing,

You glimpse an inviting hammock. You slowly crawl into the hammock as it begins to gently sway back and forth, back and forth, opening and softening you, lulling you into a deeper state of relaxation. You feel the softness of the hammock beneath you.

and the warmth of the sun on your skin and feel the gentle rocking of the hammock. Ease your body and clear your mind. Relax further into your hammock and imagine that you can feel every muscle in your body softening into your dreams.

and releasing every last grain of tension within you. Your neck and shoulders relax. Your arms and legs become heavy and your mind is peaceful and still. Now imagine that with each breath you inhale peace and calm

and with each exhale you release any remaining tension or stress. Your body is becoming lighter and lighter, sinking deeper into relaxation and peace. Sink deeper into the hammock and surrender to its rocking, carrying you away

to deep deep sleep. Namaste beautiful
