When to Use This
Use this immediately after the induction when your client has chosen the garden. It deepens them through the ten steps and establishes their safe place, which every other process in this library builds on.
The Script
1. "Now imagine yourself at the edge of a forest with very tall trees, and the greens of the tops are reaching up to the blue sky with a few puffy clouds. The path in front of you is inviting and safe."
2. "See yourself walking on the path through these beautiful woods. It’s a perfect day, and you may see little bunnies or squirrels, or even a deer watching you. See the pretty little flowers growing in the woods."
3. "And as you are walking, you come to a clearing in the woods, and you see the path turn into ten steps down to a beautiful garden — your garden."
4. "As I count backwards from ten to one, walk down each step. When you reach one, you will be in a deep state of trance, and you will continue to drift and go deeper. Go so deep that your mind is no longer limited by the usual barriers of space and time."
5. "Stepping down now. Ten… down into the deepest recesses of your mind. Nine… to a place where there is no time and space. Eight… to a place of connection and oneness. Seven… a place of wisdom."
6. "Six… you will remember everything. Five… the level of your relaxed state will deepen and deepen until, by the time I reach one, you will be in a very deep state. Four… your mind is freed up beyond the normal limits of space and time."
7. "Three… down… down… deeper and deeper. Two… down… down… each step down increasing the depth of your level even more. One… you are in a deeply relaxed state. A Divine State of mind."
8. "And as you reach the bottom of the stairs, in front of you is a beautiful garden of peace and safety, serenity and love. A magnificent garden filled with beautiful flowers, plants, trees, grass, fountains, benches, and a beautiful place to rest."
9. "Safe and serene, you walk into this garden, and here your body can completely rest, still filled with the beautiful light. This is your garden. You are completely safe here. Only those with the highest good and love for you can enter your garden."
10. "You can experience it with all of your senses — your sight, your hearing, your smell, and your feelings. You can speak to me and still stay in a deep, deep level and continue to experience."
11. Ask: "What are you experiencing? Are you in your garden?" Then let them describe it to you, one question at a time: "Describe how the garden looks."
12. Ask: "What color are the flowers?"
13. Ask: "Do you see little animals, like squirrels, roaming around?"
14. Ask: "What do you hear?"
15. Ask: "Are there butterflies flittering about?"
16. Ask: "Do you see a hammock?" (You will need the hammock later for the clear-body scan and the clean-out.)
Practitioner Notes
Do not rush the ten steps — one slow breath between each number. Let the client describe the garden in their own words before you move on; every detail they give you deepens them further and confirms they are in the Divine State. If they choose the beach instead, use the same structure: the overlook, the stairs down, then their own description.
