So come to lay down or sit in your comfortable seat,
Adjust your clothing as you need as you come into your comfortable position.
And just take a moment to notice how your body feels.
Pay attention to your body right now.
So we're not trying to change anything,
We're simply noticing how the body and the mind feel in this moment.
Feel your body begin to relax slightly.
As your shoulders drop a little lower,
Your jaw loosens.
So your teeth are separated and your tongue is hanging freely in your mouth.
And your eyelids start to feel heavy.
Take a deep breath in and a slow breath out.
And now just notice your breathing.
Notice the breath as it flows effortlessly in and out of your body.
Feeling the pause after you inhale and again before you exhale.
Allowing your body to relax and focusing on this calming colour relaxation.
Create a picture in your mind of the colour red.
Imagine red of all shades.
You might picture red objects,
A red landscape or just a solid red colour.
Imagine all the different tones and shades of red.
Roses,
Bricks,
Apples,
Sunset.
Enjoy red and allow yourself to breathe the colour red all through you.
Becoming aware of red all around you.
And now allow the colour you are imagining to become orange.
Enjoy the colour orange as you picture infinite shades of orange.
Flowers,
Pumpkins,
Carrots.
Feel the entire visual field of your mind's eye with the colour orange.
Now begin to visualise the colour yellow.
See in your imagination all the varying shades of yellow.
Allow yellow to feel your vision.
Lemons,
Flowers,
Autumn leaves.
Imagine the endless tones of the colour yellow.
Imagine yourself surrounded with the calming colour yellow.
Immerse yourself in a sea of yellow.
Let the colour you are imagining become green.
Filling your imagination with the colour green.
Endless shades and tones of green.
Plants,
Leaves,
Grass.
Imagine being surrounded by beautiful green.
All shades from the lightest to the darkest.
Bright green,
Subdued green and all the shades in between.
Enjoy the colour green.
Now see in your mind the colour blue.
Surround yourself with beautiful blue.
Unending shades of blue.
The water,
The sky.
Imagine blue filling your vision.
Enjoy the colour blue.
Now allow your attention to return to your breathing.
Notice how calm and regular your breathing is now.
Imagine all of the colours once again.
Red,
Orange,
Yellow,
Green,
Blue.
And white.
Now,
Picture whichever calming colour you wish.
Perhaps you have a favourite or one that suits your mood right now.
Allow your mind to be filled with that colour.
Imagine whichever colours you like.
Allow your mind to be relaxed,
Focused and calm.
And enjoy this feeling of relaxation that you're experiencing.
And enjoy this feeling of relaxation that you're experiencing.
And now slowly becoming more and more alert with every breath you take.
As you wiggle your fingers and toes,
Make small movements with your wrists and your ankles.
Perhaps give yourself a full body stretch.
And if you are lying down,
Come onto your right hand side and just stay there for a couple of breaths.
Slowly come up into a comfortable seated position and gently open your eyes.
And that's a great SCP
