Transcript

The intent of this session is to relax the mind by way of a visualization while at the same time strengthening your sense of trust and confidence.

You may wish to close your eyes or you may prefer to keep them open while maintaining a soft gaze.

Settle into a comfortable position.

You can be sitting,

Standing,

Or lying down.

As you're relaxing,

Notice the breath and let go of any thoughts you may have.

If you find your attention drifting,

Simply let go of the thought and bring your awareness back to the breath.

Let's take two deep breaths,

Breathing all the way down into the abdomen.

Inhale.

.

.

And exhale.

And once more,

Breathe in deeply.

.

.

And release.

For just a moment,

Slowly scan your body with your awareness from head to toe and notice any tension.

Begin with the area around the eyes.

If you feel tension,

Just relax the area and let it go.

Next,

Notice if there's any tension in the jaw,

Neck,

Or shoulders.

If you notice any tension in those areas,

Simply release and relax.

Take a minute to continue scanning your body,

Releasing any tension or tightness.

And you can also keep a small part of your attention on the breath while you do this.

Continue breathing and scanning and releasing any tension,

Letting go of any thoughts,

And feeling your body becoming more and more relaxed.

Very good.

You are feeling relaxed and comfortable.

Continue breathing at your natural rhythm in this relaxed state and focus on my voice as we begin the visualization.

Imagine you're taking a personal retreat far away from your regular day-to-day life.

You're spending several personal days recharging yourself in a remote,

Quaint little beach cottage.

The cozy resort for one is perched on a hillside,

Overlooking sand dunes and an endless shoreline without another house or soul in sight.

The white sandy beach,

Which seems to extend into an eternity in both directions,

Features just one single item,

A red wooden beach chair placed within a short walking distance from the pleasant cottage.

The little cottage has a wooden porch facing the beach with a glorious view of the open and spacious sea and sky.

Stepping down from the porch,

A straight,

Walkable,

Sandy path leads to the lone red full-length chair,

Carefully sculpted for the resting observer.

The chair offers a single front row seat to the Grand Theater of Nature.

This special place provides a protected surrounding that leaves you feeling collected and confident about your personal retreat.

You are allowing yourself this time to let go of any worries or obligations.

Nothing matters right now.

You are breathing easy.

You are simply enjoying this peaceful getaway.

It's early morning and after a full night of restful sleep,

You step out onto the wooden porch.

The seascape is dimly lit,

Barely illuminated by the distant orange glimmer of the impending sunrise.

Directly overhead,

You notice a few stars that have not yet retreated from the morning sun,

A charming moment of perfect transition between night and day.

There's a serene quality about the scenery all around you.

The emerging glow of the sun along with the reflection from the moon make the sugary white path clearly visible.

You begin walking barefoot down the sandy path leading to the red beach chair.

There's a faint but noticeable breeze that the sea seems to be steadily bestowing onto the land.

You smile as you delight in the feeling of this gentle wind on your face.

The sand beneath your feet feels soft as it gives way just a little bit with each step.

As you settle into the comfy red chair,

You notice the sound of the waves.

Although the water is calm,

The beach seems to be alive making its own harmony of sounds.

The water swells and recedes along the shoreline creating a unique chorus of gushing and rolling ripples producing a relaxing symphony that plays on and on,

Over and over,

Near and far.

The orange glow on the horizon gradually brightens changing the entire complexion of the sky.

Every single moment the entire color of the sky changes and transforms.

The subtle but consistent variations in color and hue of the sky along with the perpetual movement of the shoreline makes you realize something rather profound.

This scene has played out in a similar way eons before you ever existed.

It is reliable.

It is trustworthy.

The light emerged from the darkness in the sky yesterday,

The day before,

The day before that,

And dependably each day for millions and millions of years.

And when you look around,

You also notice change.

Nothing stays still.

The shoreline changes.

The sky changes.

The shape of the beach itself changes.

Although change is happening all the time,

There is an underlying design to the world that is completely reliable and trustworthy.

Recognizing this truth,

You feel a deep sense of confidence and certainty about your own life.

The fiery sun is now peeking over the horizon as it continues to transform the sky.

The spectacular sunrise scene is teaching you something.

You're feeling at peace with embracing the changes of your life,

And you're feeling trusting in the very same natural forces that keep the sun rising each and every day.

New light always emerges from the darkness.

Take a moment to feel this peaceful and trusting feeling.

Allow all of this positive,

Natural energy to relax and rejuvenate your mind and body.

You're feeling a renewed sense of confidence.

At any time,

You can return to this safe and comfortable place.

We have reached the end of this session.

However,

Enjoy this relaxed state for as long as you like.

Reviews

Extremely relaxing

I struggle to apply the technique of visualization. This narrative was very good as I could explant myself to familiar sights and sounds of a sea beach. With increasing practice, I hope to better visualize the color of the red chair and the golden glow of the rising sun with my eyes closed.

Thank you!
