Close your eyes and imagine yourself soaking in a lovely warm bath full of bubbles.
Feel the warmth of the water caressing your body,
Easing away any tensions,
Relaxing you,
Soothing you gently all over.
You begin to feel very heavy and comfortable,
Enjoying the luxury of having absolutely nothing to do but relax and let go.
Feel the warmth and heaviness spreading up over your body,
Starting with your toes and your feet,
And gradually working its way up into your legs.
Feel warmth flowing into your tummy as your abdomen rises and falls,
And your breathing is calm and regular as you relax your chest,
And your shoulders feel loose and limp and so relaxed.
And let the arms relax as the warmth and comfort flow down from your shoulders and let go.
Just enjoy this wonderful feeling,
Your neck and throat relax as do all those little facial muscles and the eyes become heavy,
Almost closed,
But not quite.
Because from hooded lids,
I want you to notice a bubble in your bath,
Just one particular bubble that reflects beautiful colors from the glint of sunlight that streams in through the nearby window.
The bubble contains all the colors of the rainbow,
So much deeper in hue,
So clear and pristine.
The wonderful mauves change into a beautiful sapphire blue,
And in an instance,
To a brilliant shade of red,
Then yellow and gold and emerald green.
As you keep your mind focused on this ever-changing array of colors,
I want you to imagine your bubble expanding,
Growing bigger and even more delicate than before.
And as you do,
Notice how the heaviness has gone,
And you can imagine yourself leaving your body through the crown of your head,
Floating up and over the bath,
And see how your bubble has grown.
You are weightless now,
Just pure energy,
And I wonder how would you like to enter the bubble?
Feel yourself floating down and towards the bubble,
Head first,
And as your head reaches the bubble,
The bubble turns inside out,
Engulfing your body until you are surrounded by the flimsy,
Gossamer-like film of radiant colors,
Floating back up and out of the room and into the clear blue sky,
Lifting effortlessly,
Higher and higher,
Not doing or thinking or feeling,
Just being.
And the higher you go,
The more deeply and comfortably relaxed you become.
You feel completely safe and protected within your bubble,
And it's a wonderful feeling to be so relaxed,
And it's quite perfect to be here right now.
I'm going to be quiet for a moment now to allow you to absorb the peace and beauty of this feeling of heightened awareness.
