I'd like you to position yourself comfortably now and you might like to close your eyes and just bring your focus within,
Allowing your body to relax comfortably and just connecting in with your breathing.
So as each time you breathe in,
You're breathing in a sense of calmness and relaxation and breathing away any uncomfortable feelings or tensions that you might be experiencing.
So breathing in a sense of calmness and breathing away any tensions or worries and you find yourself just listening to the suggestions I make,
Allowing for different images and impressions just to drift by comfortably and easily and you find as you make your way on this inner journey that your body relaxes so very comfortably and easily and that your imagination just opens up to a very beautiful,
Wonderful lake,
Sparkling,
Blue,
Crystal clear water and so as you get a sense of that place,
Allowing for your body to rest and settle comfortably back there.
Being guided by my voice and the music,
Taking that journey within,
You might like to imagine that you're walking along a pathway and as you take each step you get that sense of being in a rhythm,
You're feeling strong in your body and your breathing settles to its own natural rhythm,
Body relaxing comfortably,
Automatically as you make your way along this beautiful pathway.
It feels warm and inviting,
Enjoying that rhythm in your step as you make your way along this beautiful pathway and you can notice the different colors and textures around you.
You might be able to feel a kind of a crunch on the soles of your feet as you walk,
Breathing easily and comfortably,
Heading towards a very beautiful lake.
So I'd like you to imagine yourself walking along this pathway and noticing a gentle breeze caressing your face.
Perhaps you can hear sounds of nature around you and finding all of that very soothing and comforting.
You're finding it easier to make your way towards your own special lake.
A calm feeling washes over you as your pathway takes you directly to this wonderful lake before you now and so as you make your way you can notice a fine mist,
The sun rising in the sky.
There's a warmth in the air and you can feel the sun soothing your muscles in your body,
Penetrating deeply,
Soothing,
Feeling deeply relaxed and so as you watch this view before you now,
You can just rest there taking all the time you need.
You can notice the lake as it sparkles in the sunlight.
It's very blue,
Crystal clear water and you find yourself drawn to that image.
You're curious about the water and how it might feel and so if you feel inclined you could dive into that beautiful crystal clear water and just feel it cleansing the pores of your skin,
Clearing away any worries or stresses,
Leaving them behind as you make your way through the water and again you can feel the strength in your body moving easily,
Comfortably.
Enjoying that feeling of freshness,
Feeling invigorated.
Just give yourself some time there to play,
Just enjoying your own time within this beautiful lake.
Plenty of time just allowing for your body to relax at a very deep level,
Enjoying that feeling of strength in your body and as you make your way back from the water,
Just noticing the color of the sand beneath your feet,
The beautiful reeds,
The grass reeds and as you turn to look back at the expanse of water,
You can see the play of sunlight on those reeds,
A lovely golden light and as you just sit down there now and notice the smallest details,
Finding something that you can just rest your attention on,
A little droplet of water,
An insect,
A ripple effect on the surface and so I'd like you just to focus on that finest detail that you can find there and really becoming absorbed in that as a meditation for you and that within that finest detail I wonder where that takes you in your thoughts and in your feelings and allow yourself to be guided by your own meditation now,
Enjoying the stillness as you focus on that finest detail and I'll let you know when it's time to come back.
And so it's time now for you to make your way back.
Very gently coming back from that beautiful lake,
Knowing that you have rested very well and that your body has enjoyed this time that you've given yourself,
Enjoying that stillness and peace of mind and as you make your way back from the lake you know that you can also enjoy that clarity in your thinking,
That your body is strong and supports you well and that your time in meditation becomes easier and easier for you and that you notice so many benefits in your life and so you can bring all those experiences,
That stillness,
The insights,
You can bring them back with you and use them in your everyday life and you can notice that as you make your way back now that you can hold on to that feeling of calmness in your body,
Aware of the gentle rise and fall of your breathing,
A clarity in your thoughts,
Everything is well in your world and so as you make your way back along that pathway you can feel reassured knowing that you can deal with anything that comes your way in your life,
That you have many inner resources and that you can tap into them whenever you need them and so stepping back on that pathway,
The pathway that leads back to your everyday world and so you can just allow the images to fade there knowing that you can return to your lake again coming back into the awareness of your body,
Noticing how relaxed your body is and just spending a few moments there now,
Enjoying that feeling of calmness,
A deep calmness that you can take into your life and so there's an ease as you come back into the room and when you hear the chimes you can open your eyes feeling refreshed and alert.
