Begin by taking some nice,
Deep,
Comfortable breaths in through your nose and hold each one for the mental count of three.
And then just breathe the air very slowly out of your mouth.
And as you breathe in,
Imagine breathing in calmness and relaxation.
And as you breathe out,
Breathe away any tensions or any stress that you may be experiencing.
And just feel the physical body beginning to relax,
Beginning to feel comfortable.
And I want you to mentally project yourself outside to a beautiful place in nature,
Your perfect place.
And it is a beautiful,
Warm,
Sunny day.
And you feel at peace and at one with the universe.
Imagine the warmth of the sun as it shines down over your body.
And you are here,
Relaxing,
Allowing your mind to lazily drift and wander where it will.
Imagine the sounds of nature that accompany any impressions that you have.
Maybe the sound of waves or maybe rustling grass or a gently flowing stream,
Depending on wherever you are.
You can enjoy these feelings of comfort and peace,
Of tranquility and serenity as you allow yourself to comfortably rest and just quiet your mind.
You are looking up at a beautiful blue sky.
It is that perfect shade of blue that you enjoy and bring into your imagination a soft,
Fluffy white cloud.
And it's coming your way,
Drifting slowly,
Languidly down from the sky like a giant,
Soft,
Warm duvet.
It's coming to you to take you on a wonderful journey,
A journey into the realms of your wonderful subconscious mind.
The cloud wraps itself around your body,
Enfolding you like an infant in its mother's arms,
Safe and secure,
Warm and comfortable.
And strangely enough,
It's such a soft,
Fluffy cloud,
And you snuggle yourself with it and relax even further as it carries you up,
Up into the sky.
Now feel yourself being lifted into the air on this beautiful day,
Feeling safe and secure,
Feeling happy.
It's such a wonderful feeling to allow yourself to be carried away on a warm summer breeze on a day like today.
Looking down on the earth below,
You can see very small villages scattered around,
Little valleys and hills and winding roads and miniature rivers or streams,
And you are lazily drifting away.
Allow yourself to be carried away,
Feeling so safe and so comfortable and so,
So relaxed.
This cloud can carry you wherever you wish to go,
So just think of a place where you'd like to be and feel yourself heading towards that place on this perfect day.
And when you're ready and you feel yourself there,
Feel yourself beginning to descend,
Going down,
Deeper and deeper and deeper relaxed,
Drifting gently and lazily down to a comfortable place deep within you.
Now it's time to come back to a more alert state,
So in just a moment,
I'll count from five back up to one,
With each count,
You'll continue feeling relaxed and confident,
But more and more alert.
Five,
Continuing to feel wonderful.
Four,
Feeling motivated to change.
Three,
Feeling confident in knowing that all things have changed.
Two,
Feeling more and more alert,
Knowing that you're feeling happier,
Healthier and more positive every day.
And one,
You're fully alert,
Eyes open and feeling better than ever before.
Four,
Feeling more and more alert.
Five,
Continuing to feel more and more positive every day.
Four,
Feeling more and more alert.
Five,
Continuing to feel more and more positive every day.
Six,
Continuing to feel more and more positive every day.
Seven,
Continuing to feel more and more positive every day.
Eight,
Continuing to feel more and more positive every day.
Nine,
Continuing to feel more and more positive every day.
Ten,
Continuing to feel more and more positive every day.
