Guided Imagery: A Small Vacation

Find a quiet place to sit…
Take some time to feel settled…
take a deep breath…..

Close your eyes…
let your body relax…..
Take another deep breath…….

Allow yourself to let go of stress,
any stress… relax….

Take another deep breath…….
And keep moving deeper inside yourself….
Don’t force anything….
Just be still…..
Remember to breathe…
and to relax….

Keep your focus within
yourself….
Moving deeper inside….
And let any thoughts just
drift away like clouds in the sky
When you catch yourself engaged in a thought,
Just take a deep breath…..
And allow yourself to come back to your center….

Now, see a path in front of you and follow the path….
Take your time and notice what’s around you….
Take a deep breath and smell the air…..
Look at the flowers and listen to the birds….
Look up at the sky and notice the clouds…

In a little while, you’ll see a beautiful waterfall…..
Watch the rainbows bouncing off the water….
Bend down at the edge of the water….
Trail your hand through it …
Feel the Earth under you…..

This is your special place….
No one else can come here without your permission…..
Make this place your very own place….
Make this place the most peaceful, safe place you want to be in …
Whenever you need to be quiet and alone

You can come back to this place any time you want….
Any time you need to be quiet and alone….

When you’re ready and there’s no rush,
Say goodbye for now to your sacred place….

Begin coming back up the path…..
Take your time and notice what’s around you….
Take a deep breath and smell the air…..
Say farewell to the flowers and birds….
Look up at the sky and notice the clouds…

Take your time coming back to the room you’re in….
Enter very slowly and very gently….
Feeling completely refreshed….
And totally relaxed….
