Welcome to this pause for calm.
Find a comfortable place to sit or rest and gently close your eyes.
Allow your body to settle.
Begin with a slow easy breath in and a soft breath out and again an easy breath in and a soft breath out.
Now bring to mind a tropical island,
A tropical island with lush green vegetation and tall palm trees swaying softly in the warm breeze.
You are standing on a beautiful beach and you notice the soft sand beneath your feet and toes.
You notice the gentle sea breeze across your skin.
Everything here is peaceful and welcoming.
The sun above is shining,
Its golden rays cascading down upon the island like droplets of golden light.
Radiating warmth and light round you hear the soothing rhythm of the waves as they rise and fall.
And you breathe in slowly,
Then breathe out,
Relaxing,
Releasing and letting go of anything else.
Now you walk towards the water and begin to explore the surroundings,
Taking in the distant songs of tropical birds,
The sights of the sparkling crystal clear water,
The texture of the sand warm and soft beneath your feet,
The sweet fragrance of blooming flowers and the soft touch of the sea breeze.
You breathe in slowly and appreciate the beauty and tranquility of the surroundings,
Then breathe out,
Relaxing,
Releasing and letting go of anything else.
Take one more slow easy breath in and a soft breath out.
If you'd like to rest here,
You are welcome to stay,
Allowing the island's peace to carry you gently in to rest.
If you'd like to return,
Begin to slowly move and stretch your body,
Take all the time that you need and when you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
Thank you for being here until we meet again.
