Allow your body to settle into your position.
Feel where your body rests against the ground or against the chair.
Relax and allow the ground or chair to carry your weight.
Gently supporting you.
Allow your eyes to be closed.
Be aware of the rhythm of your breath.
Follow your breath as you breathe in and breathe out.
Focus on that gentle rhythm as your breath gently flows in and out.
Allow any tensions to drop away from you.
Melting into your position on the ground or the chair.
You need to do nothing except be in this safe space.
Relax.
You find yourself in an open boat,
Gently drifting on a calm sea.
There is a light breeze.
Birds fly overhead,
Their calls echoing over the sparkling water.
The rhythm of the boat on the waves rocks you gently.
You are completely relaxed and at ease.
Relax.
In the distance you see a small island,
A patch of green surrounded by blue water.
Relax.
Relax.
The boat gently drifts towards the island.
Relax.
The boat runs aground on the sand and you leave the vessel,
Stepping lightly ashore,
Knowing that the boat will wait for you.
Relax.
Walk up the beach and towards trees and flowers.
Entering a clearing you see in front of you,
In the center,
A magical tree hung with silver bells.
The branches spread out like a canopy and every branch is hung with a silver filigree of bells of every shape and size.
The tree is quite small and you can easily reach the bells where they cascade down from the branches.
Consider the bells.
Which one is yours?
Reach forward and touch your special bell.
There is a clear,
Pure,
Silvery sound which echoes around the clearing.
You recognize that this is a special healing sound created just for you.
The sound swells and blends into a harmony.
Relax.
Relax.
A magical chord which is cleansing and balancing your throat chakra.
The sound washes over you and you sing it back to the tree.
And as you make the sound you know that you are clearing and opening your throat chakra.
That this is your very own special healing sound.
Allow this sound to wash over you until you feel that your throat chakra is completely cleansed and balanced.
Relax.
When you are ready,
Leave the clearing.
Know that you may return here to this magical place whenever you wish.
Retrace your steps back down the beach to the seashore where your boat is waiting for you.
Step inside and allow the boat to gently drift out to sea carried by the slow moving current.
Gently,
Slowly,
The boat returns you to the place where this healing journey began.
Relax.
Relax.
Now you are ready to leave this inner space.
Become aware of the rhythm of your breath.
As with each breath you become more focused and more centered on the sensations in your body.
Take a stretch,
Wiggle your fingers and your toes.
A big breath in,
Let the air out and when you feel like it,
Open your eyes gently.
Focus your attention on where you are in contact with the ground,
Whether it's your feet or your body.
Make a conscious connection with the ground and breathe into this space.
Be aware of the connection between yourself and the earth.
And now you are ready to step forwards into the rest of your day.
