Lying down or sitting straight get into a comfortable position.
We are now going to take two deep breaths in and out.
Ready?
Deep breath in,
Hold it for a moment and breathe slowly out.
One more deep breath in,
Hold and slowly breathe out.
Fabulous!
On our next deep breath in we are going to tense every muscle in our body including our eyes.
And when we breathe out we are going to relax all of our muscles.
Ready?
Here goes!
Breathe in and tense all your muscles.
Keep going and slowly breathe out.
Let's do that one more time.
Breathe in and tense all the muscles.
Breathe out and relax.
Now softly close your eyes as we are going on a journey.
Imagine you are laid on a beach and you can feel the soft powdery dry golden sand beneath you.
You hear the sound of the waves lapping in the distance.
The sun is shining and warming all of your body.
It is just the correct temperature.
The sky is so blue with the odd cloud floating past.
You feel so calm,
Enjoying laying here,
Feeling the sand,
Listening to the waves and watching clouds floating past.
Take a deep breath in and feel the fresh air,
So clean.
Nothing to worry about or fear,
You are just enjoying the peace.
The blue sky and watching the clouds passing by.
What shapes do the clouds have?
Do any look like animals or birds?
There is one big bright white cloud gradually moving towards you.
It looks like huge candy floss.
As you look closely you begin to recognise that the cloud has white fluffy steps and they are inviting you to climb up and enjoy a wonderful ride.
You begin to climb the steps,
One,
Two,
Three and four.
This is wonderful,
Climbing up onto a shining white cloud.
You are now on top of this huge cloud and it feels so soft,
So comfy.
You feel safe as the delicate cloud lovingly wraps itself around you,
Like a comfy blanket.
It feels like you are laid on soft cotton wool.
It feels lovely and warm.
You feel so safe,
Secure and so loved.
Relaxing here on this spongy feather-like cloud entirely floating in the sky.
You can look down and watch the waves gently lapping on the beach.
You can even see fish swimming in the water.
The sand looks as if it has rays of sunshine radiating from it.
You feel happy and loved on your special cloud,
Enveloped in love and peace.
Just relaxing here a moment.
It is now time to climb back down the fluffy steps.
One,
Two,
Three and four.
Back onto the beach with a feeling of love and peace.
Not only inside of you but also beaming around you.
One more deep breath in and slowly breathing out.
And when you are ready,
Softly open your eyes.
