- Purpose
- To relax the body
- Eases anxiety
- Reduces tention
Sit in a comfortable position, or lay down.
Loosen tight clothing.
Focus on your breathing......breath deeply in and out. Breathing is one of the most powerful conscious influences you have on your nervous system.
Let your mind wander to a place that you love, either in you mind ( a made up place) or some place you remember fondly.
The only thing that matters is that it is a place in which you are completely comfortable and safe....You feel comfortable and safe. Appreciate this scene with all of your senses. Hear the sounds -- smell the aromas, feel the air as it caresses your skin -- experience the ground securely under you -- touch and feel the whole environment that you are in.
Notice what you are wearing
Notice what you have on your feet
What time of year it is, what time of day
How old you are
Whether you are alone or with another person or people
Notice the colors that surround you
What is the temperature? Is it warm? Is it cold?
Notice the qualities of the place that make it safe and comfortable.
When you are ready, slowly deepen your breathing and feel yourself returning to the chair. You could feel relaxed and at ease.
Love,
Sarah
