Find a comfortable place to lie down and close your eyes. Take three slow breaths in with me. And out. On. And out. And. . . And out. Wonderful. Notice where your body touches the ground. Your heels. You back. All pressing you gently down. The ground holds you. You don't have to do anything at all. Let your feet relax. Your legs relax. You back relax. Your hands open wide and then let go. Face relaxes. Everything is relaxed and still. Imagine. You are a tall, Beautiful tree. Standing in a quiet forest. Your feet have grown long roots that go deep, Deep down into the warm air. The roots keep you steady and strong. Your arms are wide branches reaching up towards the sun. Gentle and still. A soft breeze moves through your leaves and they rustle. That slant on your branches. Butterflies rest on your leaves. You feel the warm sunshine on your face. You are solid. You look calm. Nothing can shake you. You are a beautiful, Peaceful tree. Slowly feel your fingers and toes again. Give him a little wiggle. Take a big breath in. Let it go with a sigh. And when you are ready. Gently open your eyes. You can carry this stillness with you today.
