Imagine you are outside in a large garden on a warm sunny day. The sun is shining down on you and the sky is a deep blue, Scattered with white fluffy clouds gently floating along. You feel the warm air on your skin and you can smell the lovely flowers which are all around you. There are tall trees in the garden, Their green leafy branches reaching upwards. As you look up, You can see birds flying high in the sky, Tiny dark specks against the blue. They swoop and soar, Flying gracefully up and down, Moving freely around with no troubles or worries. Imagine that you too are a bird and you can fly safely up in the sky with the other birds. You feel free and light as you swoop around, Feeling the air against your wings. Enjoy this feeling of lightness as you fly. And remember you can close your eyes and imagine you are flying like a bird in the sky anytime you want.
