Good morning,
Good evening,
Good afternoon,
Good night,
Whatever time of day it is,
Wherever you are,
Welcome to another time out journey.
So,
Let's start,
Settle yourself down and as usual take that deep breath in and a long slow breath out.
And remember it helps if you count four in and seven out.
So let's try it again,
A deep breath in and a long slow breath out.
And once more letting all those muscles relax,
Letting your eyes close,
A deep breath in and a long slow breath out.
Imagine,
Picture yourself standing in your place at your front door.
Look at the door,
I'm sure you've seen it a lot of times but have you really looked at it?
When the door opens you'll find something completely different.
So let's open your front door and step out and this time you step onto a street that is unfamiliar,
A street that is lined with a row of cottages on one side.
On your side there is parkland and a beautiful path.
Join me now on the path and as you walk along the street take note of the cottages on the other side.
Each one has a garden with different coloured flowers,
Each one has a door that matches the colour of the flowers.
Taking our time now,
Walking,
Enjoying the feeling of being outside,
Free.
Each step making you feel more and more relaxed.
Gentle sun,
A light breeze,
Blue sky,
Some clouds.
The parkland filled with grass and trees and bushes and birds and across the road the cottages.
Let's stand now and choose a cottage.
Look along the row and one of them will grab your attention.
It will be like a magnet and draw you towards it.
Careful now crossing the road,
Make your way to the front gate.
Take in the flowers,
The colour,
The colour that has attracted you,
The perfumes,
The shapes,
The mass of colour.
As we open the gate we can walk up the small short pathway to the front door,
The same colour as the flowers.
Study the door for a moment,
Notice what it's made from,
Whether it's solid or light,
Whether it has glass,
The door handle.
Now just gently touch the door and it will open into a hallway.
The colour of the hallway is subtle and gentle.
There are doors leading off on both sides.
The moment you enter the cottage you feel a sense of peace flowing into you,
Relaxing you,
Filling you with ease.
Let's take the first door,
Open it and you enter a most beautiful bathroom.
There is a sunken bath and it is filled with light bubbly water.
You can't wait,
Just take off your clothes and drape them over the chair or on a hook and step into the bath.
Sink down,
Let those bubbles flow over you,
From your toes all the way up to your shoulders and around your neck.
Light bubbles,
Almost as if they are caressing you.
Gentle.
Let your body relax,
Your muscles,
Your tendons,
Even your skin.
Your body beautifully relaxed and if you look carefully at the bubbles you may find they have a similar colour to the flowers on the door of your cottage and the perfume may be subtly there as well.
Now time to leave the bathroom,
You'll find a beautiful luxurious towel,
Just wrap yourself in it and you are dry.
Put your clothes back on and let's make our way out of the bathroom and down the hallway to the next door.
You open this into a kitchen,
Just simple,
Just a simple kitchen,
Beautiful bench and on the bench a glass,
A glass of clear liquid.
It's safe,
Just pick it up and slowly sip it,
Feel the water travelling from your mouth,
Down your throat and into your body like a beautiful flowing stream.
Light tiny bubbles flowing through all your cells,
Clearing,
Cleansing,
Freeing you of all negative emotion.
Relaxing.
Replace your glass and let's leave the kitchen into the hallway to the third door.
This is a lounge room,
The most inviting lounge room with a couch or sofa that looks so comfortable in subtle tones of the colour of your flowers and all.
Sink into the couch,
Into the cushions,
Relax.
Relax deeper and deeper,
Nowhere else to be here safe.
On one side of the sofa or the couch,
Whatever you like to call it,
Is a crystal orb,
A beautiful round crystal orb.
Pick it up and hold it in your hands.
Look into the orb,
There is a ribbon of gold and your colour,
A silver light flows along it.
Follow it,
Follow it with your mind and your eyes and your body into space.
Free,
Safe in the most beautiful relaxing space.
Just hold yourself there for a while and if you have a question or you need help with something,
Now is the time to ask it.
The answer may come immediately or sometime later.
Now it's time to leave the lounge room and back into the hallway and you find yourself back,
Back inside your place,
Standing in front of your door.
All the way back to where you are now,
This time and this place.
Feeling refreshed,
Relaxed,
Invigorated,
Ready to continue your day or night and I hope to see you again on another journey in time out.
