About this session
- Deepens self-love
- Softens self-judgment
- Relaxes the body
- Builds inner belonging
This guided visualization begins by relaxing the body from legs to forehead, then places you beside running water. You watch a small leaf drift on a pool, then become it, carried by a current into an inner land that feels like home. Summer McStravick guides you through it in the first person.
It helps anyone who is hard on themselves or has forgotten their own worth. Use it in the early morning to start the day feeling accepted, or late at night to let go of self-criticism before sleep.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
Why do I become a leaf floating on water?
The leaf is the image of letting go. You are moved by a gentle current toward an unknown destination, yet with no fear or worry, because wherever you are going is described as good, right and made for you. It lets you practise trusting and being carried rather than steering.
What is the enchanted land I arrive in?
It is the land of your own heart and your truest, deepest self, where nothing is hidden and nothing is unknown. You rise from the water, stand tall with an open heart, and are told this is home. You are known and loved there, and every layer and experience is accepted with no judgment anywhere.
Whose love am I invited to feel?
There are three layers. First, the love of all the beings you have touched with your presence. Then the love of non-physical beings who cheer for you and want to see you thrive. Finally, the love of source, God, the universal consciousness or simply all that is, described as a warm blanket you can curl within.
What does it mean to be loved for what I am, not what I have done?
The session asks you to feel love that doesn't depend on achievements or what you have learned. You marvel at yourself as a magnificent being, on a bold journey of self-awareness, shown through your courage and curiosity. The message is that simply being is enough.
What are the closing words about?
Near the end the voice shifts to you and says you are more than your body, mind or the experiences of your life. You are wanted, needed, necessary and inseparable from source. Then you hold that feeling tucked deep inside and open your eyes when you're ready.
Does the language about source and God have to match my beliefs?
The session offers several names together: source, God, the universal consciousness, or simply all that is. You can use whichever fits you, or take it as a sense of being held by something larger than yourself.
