Welcome.
This practice allows you to get out of the fight or flight response and into a place of deep physiological regulation.
Allowing your eyes to close now or simply softening your gaze.
I want you to become aware of the physical space you occupy in this moment begin to picture a colour that represents feelings of pleasant relaxation.
Let this color become your personal symbol of calm and stability.
Imagine this colour spreading.
Inside.
Filling your body with more and more of this sense of calmness from the soles of your feet.
All the way up to the crown of your head.
Make those feelings deeper and stronger.
As deep as you can possibly imagine right now,
Until the color overflows into the world around you,
Filling the whole space.
Within this field of peaceful energy imagine you're in the middle of a relaxing scene.
A place of total safety and sanctuary.
