I want you to just get comfortable with your hands and feet not touching.
Take a deep breath in and a deep breath out.
Take another deep breath in and this time as you exhale,
Let go of any tension or worries you may have.
Also take another deep breath in and this time as you breathe out,
Relax the muscles in your face and in your neck.
As you breathe in slowly and deeply,
You can relax your shoulders,
Your arms,
Your fingers.
You can relax your stomach,
Your legs,
Your calves,
Your feet and your toes.
And now take in one more breath and slowly and deeply exhale and use the power of your imagination and feel a sense of peacefulness and calm.
And now just visualize a peaceful scene or a place in your mind's eye.
Allow a place to come to mind in its own time.
Allow your attention to wander in this place wherever it needs to go.
Now think about your own special peaceful place.
It could be a beautiful room or a garden or a beach or an oasis.
You can create this haven of peace and tranquility in your imagination,
Somewhere you'd love to be.
And now imagine the entrance to this place.
You walk in and find somewhere comfortable to sit and it feels very peaceful.
There's no work to be done,
No demands on you.
This place can be whatever you need it to be.
In your mind's eye,
Notice all of the sights of this place,
All of the colors,
The textures and the features of this place.
What sounds do you hear in this place?
Perhaps you hear the sounds of a gentle breeze,
The sounds of the ocean waves.
Just let the beauty of the sounds wash over you.
Just allow the beauty and the peace of your own oasis of calmness to soothe your mind and to soothe your emotions.
You feel peaceful,
Calm and contented.
How do these feelings feel in your body?
Where do you feel these calm,
Peaceful feelings?
Notice what you feel in your body so you can enjoy being in this peaceful place and silently say to yourself,
I feel peaceful and contented.
I feel peaceful and contented.
And as you do this,
You begin to feel tranquil,
Serene and content.
You've banished restless thoughts by focusing on a peaceful place.
All tension has drifted away and disappeared to be replaced by tranquility and contentment.
Pleasant,
Harmonious feelings wash over your body and your mind.
And so for a few moments,
You can enjoy the contented feeling of inner peace,
Calmness and security.
You can visit your peaceful place whenever you need to unwind by simply relaxing your body,
Calming your mind with peaceful thoughts and silently saying to yourself,
I feel peaceful and contented.
I feel peaceful and contented.
I feel peaceful and contented.
And now you're going to come back to your full awareness.
Slowly take a deep breath in and a deep breath out.
Take a big stretch slowly,
Calmly and easily.
Open your eyes and come back to your surroundings,
Feeling peaceful,
Feeling happy,
Feeling relaxed and feeling ready to face the world with renewed energy.
