Visualizing a happy place. So we're going to go into the depths of our imagination for this practice and see yourself and feel yourself being in a place that makes you really happy. So getting yourself into any comfortable position. Just making sure you feel quite cozy. Whether that's with pillows or blankets. Gently allowing your eyes to close. And just feel the sensation of relaxation. Just washing over your body. Any tension just melting into the surface beneath you. Allowing your jaw to open. And just your breath to slow down. Just bringing an awareness now to your tummy. I'm just allowing that to just soften as well. Just paying attention to any sounds. That are around you. Now, We're gonna go to our happy place. So something might have entered your mind already that you consider to be a happy place. If not, It could be. . . Tropical beach. A spot in the mountains somewhere. And forest. It doesn't have to be a real place, It can be completely imagined. Just transporting yourself there now. Just bringing up the details of your own visualisation. Taking a good look. Around you. What would you like to see? And if you can't see a clear picture, Just imagining. My brain is very good at this. And in this happy place. What would you imagine the sounds might be? As if you were turning up a dial, Just turning up those sounds. If you've conjured up some sounds that are not so pleasant, Just leaving those ones. Perhaps it's the sound of water. Wildlife. Good chatting, Laughing. Or perhaps there's no people in your happy place and you're just alone. The sound of your own breath. Are there any smells associated with your happy place? Putting all these things together, How do you feel in this space? That give you a sense of calm. Peace. Contentment. Or something else. Can you feel your body relaxing?
