.
.
Bring your attention to your breath.
.
.
.
.
Breathing deeply in.
.
.
.
.
And slowly out.
.
.
.
.
Allowing yourself some time.
.
.
.
.
This time away from the outside world.
.
.
.
.
To tune in.
.
.
.
.
To listen.
.
.
.
.
To listen to the sound of my voice.
.
.
.
.
Helping you to connect with your own intuitive wisdom.
.
.
.
.
The silent intelligence of your being.
.
.
.
.
Deep within.
.
.
.
.
Breathing slowly in.
.
.
.
.
And slowly out.
.
.
.
.
Focusing on the sensation of the breath in your chest.
.
.
.
.
Feeling your chest gently rise.
.
.
.
.
And gently fall.
.
.
.
.
Breathing in.
.
.
.
.
All the way down into your chest.
.
.
.
.
Into your stomach.
.
.
.
.
And slowly out.
.
.
.
.
Feeling your chest.
.
.
.
.
And your tummy.
.
.
.
.
As it rises.
.
.
.
.
And falls.
.
.
.
.
With each breath in.
.
.
.
.
And each breath out.
.
.
.
.
With each breath.
.
.
.
.
Feeling.
.
.
.
Experiencing your body.
.
.
.
.
Your mind.
.
.
.
.
Your thoughts.
.
.
.
.
Slowing down.
.
.
.
.
Drifting.
.
.
.
.
And floating.
.
.
.
.
How good it feels to just let go.
.
.
.
.
To allow the sounds you now hear to guide you to a place of peace.
.
.
.
.
Tranquility.
.
.
.
.
Contentment.
.
.
.
Flow of your mind.
.
.
.
.
Your body.
.
.
.
Feel soothed and relaxed.
.
.
.
Quieter and quieter.
.
.
.
And your mind.
.
.
.
Feeling so very relaxed now.
.
.
.
You see yourself in your mind's eye.
.
.
.
You are standing in a beautiful cherry orchard.
.
.
.
.
And all of the cherry trees are in blossom.
.
.
.
.
It's a warm sunny day.
.
.
.
.
The sky above is the clearest blue.
.
.
.
.
The sun is shining warmly on your skin.
.
.
.
.
The grass beneath your feet is a luxurious deep green.
.
.
.
.
And you may choose now to take your shoes off.
.
.
.
.
To feel the sensation of the grass beneath your feet.
.
.
.
.
Walking slowly.
.
.
.
.
Each footstep.
.
.
.
Aware of openness and wonder that you experience through this peaceful landscape.
.
.
.
.
You are filled with a deep sense of serenity.
.
.
.
.
Well-being.
.
.
.
.
Walking slowly and calmly.
.
.
.
.
A deep sense of joy.
.
.
.
.
Contentment.
.
.
.
.
With each footstep feeling more and more relaxed.
.
.
.
.
You see and feel a gentle breeze blow softly through the orchard.
.
.
.
Sending a flurry of petals through the air.
.
.
.
.
You continue walking slowly through the petals.
.
.
.
.
The scent of the blossom.
.
.
.
.
The soft sensation of the petals as they drift across your skin.
.
.
.
.
Allowing you to go deeper and deeper.
.
.
.
.
More relaxed.
.
.
.
.
Peaceful than you have ever been before.
.
.
.
.
And as you're walking through the petals.
.
.
.
.
You notice that everything around you slows down.
.
.
.
.
Life is being set in slow motion.
.
.
.
.
The petals moving now so slowly through the air.
.
.
.
.
Softly gently.
.
.
.
.
Just floating about you.
.
.
.
.
Hundreds.
.
.
.
.
Thousands of petals floating softly and lightly.
.
.
.
.
Like feathers.
.
.
.
.
Because time itself has slowed down in this magical,
Beautiful place.
.
.
.
.
Thinking about you.
.
.
.
.
You see that the trees.
.
.
.
.
The movement of the branches.
.
.
.
.
And the leaves are also in slow motion.
.
.
.
.
The whole scene.
.
.
.
.
So very peaceful.
.
.
.
.
Slower.
.
.
.
.
And slower.
.
.
.
.
As you continue to walk.
.
.
.
.
Each footstep.
.
.
.
.
Going deeper and deeper.
.
.
.
.
Letting go.
.
.
.
.
The petals floating so lightly.
.
.
.
.
Softly through the air now.
.
.
.
.
You can reach out.
.
.
.
.
And pluck one gentle petal from the air.
.
.
.
.
In front of you.
.
.
.
.
The other petals continuing to float softly and slowly.
.
.
.
.
All about you.
.
.
.
.
Holding the petal in your hand.
.
.
.
.
You notice its colour.
.
.
.
.
Its texture.
.
.
.
.
How exquisitely perfect nature is.
.
.
.
.
And just ahead of you.
.
.
.
.
You see a large reclining chair.
.
.
.
.
Covered in pillows and blankets.
.
.
.
.
So deciding to lie down on this comfortable recliner.
.
.
.
.
Making yourself cosy.
.
.
.
.
Maybe even pulling one of the soft blankets over you.
.
.
.
.
You're aware of a deep sensation of easiness.
.
.
.
.
Of comfort.
.
.
.
.
Warmth and contentment.
.
.
.
.
And in this special place.
.
.
.
It's becoming night time.
.
.
.
.
The sun is setting on the horizon.
.
.
.
.
And the sky is beautiful colours of pink and orange.
.
.
.
.
And gold.
.
.
.
.
Basking the scene about you in a warm pinky golden tone.
.
.
.
.
Feeling deeper and deeper relaxed.
.
.
.
.
The sky slowly turning from its golden hues.
.
.
.
.
Getting darker as the sun goes down.
.
.
.
.
The sky above you turning to colours of purple and blue black.
.
.
.
.
And in the distance far above you see the first twinkling star.
.
.
.
.
As the sky gradually becomes darker.
.
.
.
.
You can hear the gentle sound of crickets chirping.
.
.
.
.
Feeling so warm and cosy.
.
.
.
.
Lying there beneath the open sky.
.
.
.
.
You allow your body to feel even more relaxed and sleepy.
.
.
.
.
As gentle waves of easiness.
.
.
.
.
Tranquility sweep softly and slowly down your entire body.
.
.
.
.
From the top of your head.
.
.
.
.
To the tips of your toes.
.
.
.
.
A gentle sensation now being felt at the top of your head.
.
.
.
.
Lightly moving down to your forehead.
.
.
.
.
To your eyes.
.
.
.
.
Letting go of all those facial muscles.
.
.
.
.
As the wave of relaxation travels down.
.
.
.
.
Continuing down your face.
.
.
.
.
Parting your teeth just a little.
.
.
.
.
And letting the relaxation soothe you.
.
.
.
So restful.
.
.
.
.
Tranquil.
.
.
.
.
As the wave of peace.
.
.
.
.
Of easiness.
.
.
.
.
And comfort travels slowly down the back of your neck.
.
.
.
.
And spreads softly across your shoulders.
.
.
.
.
Your mind drifting as your body relaxes.
.
.
.
.
As the beautiful gentle wave of calmness now travels slowly down your arms.
.
.
.
.
To your hands.
.
.
.
.
All the way down to the tips of your fingers.
.
.
.
Light skin.
.
.
.
Peaceful.
.
.
.
Tranquil.
.
.
.
Feeling soothed and safe.
.
.
.
At ease.
.
.
.
Letting go deeper and deeper.
.
.
.
.
As the wave of relaxation travels across your upper back.
.
.
.
.
Continuing down.
.
.
.
.
Down.
.
.
.
.
Down.
.
.
.
.
Easily and lightly.
.
.
.
Down to your lower back.
.
.
.
At ease.
.
.
.
Gently caressing.
.
.
.
Releasing.
.
.
.
Letting go.
.
.
.
So very peaceful.
.
.
.
That soothing relaxation travels across your chest.
.
.
.
.
As you breathe slowly in.
.
.
.
.
And slowly out.
.
.
.
.
Down to your tummy.
.
.
.
Feeling so relaxed.
.
.
.
At ease.
.
.
.
Floating and drifting.
.
.
.
The relaxing wave travels down to your legs.
.
.
.
Soothing and peaceful.
.
.
.
To your thighs.
.
.
.
To your knees.
.
.
.
Your calves.
.
.
.
Lightly relaxing sensations.
.
.
.
All the way down to your ankles.
.
.
.
To your feet.
.
.
.
To your toes.
.
.
.
Your entire body feeling so light.
.
.
.
Relaxed.
.
.
.
Serene and calm.
.
.
.
And your mind drifting now.
.
.
.
So relaxed.
.
.
.
Feeling quieter.
.
.
.
And quieter still.
.
.
.
So very deeply relaxed.
.
.
.
More relaxed than you have ever felt before.
.
.
.
You are aware of how helpful.
.
.
.
How beneficial it is for you to slow everything down.
.
.
.
Your speech.
.
.
.
Your movements.
.
.
.
Your breath.
.
.
.
Your thoughts.
.
.
.
Giving you space and time.
.
.
.
As you bring your awareness.
.
.
.
Your attention to this moment.
.
.
.
To the present moment.
.
.
.
Which is always open.
.
.
.
Expansive and fulfilling.
.
.
.
How good it feels to step outside of time.
.
.
.
And as you notice your breath.
.
.
.
Your movements.
.
.
.
Your speech.
.
.
.
And your thoughts slow down.
.
.
.
You understand how easy it is to connect with the deeper wisdom of your body.
.
.
.
The silent intelligence at the heart of you.
.
.
.
Tuning in more and more to the stillness.
.
.
.
The quiet space.
.
.
.
And depth within.
.
.
.
Giving yourself time and space to do just one thing at a time.
.
.
.
Because in truth it is only ever possible to do one thing at a time.
.
.
.
And this frees your mind.
.
.
.
Freezes your emotions.
.
.
.
To experience the depth and the truth of who you really are.
.
.
.
Always right here.
.
.
.
Right now.
.
.
.
And as you notice your breath.
.
.
.
Your movements.
.
.
.
Your speech.
.
.
.
And your thoughts slow down.
.
.
.
You understand how easy it is to connect with the deeper wisdom of your body.
.
.
.
The silent intelligence at the heart of your being.
.
.
.
Tuning in to yourself time and space to do just one thing at a time.
.
.
.
And this frees your mind.
.
.
.
Freezes your emotions.
.
.
.
To perceive the depth and truth of who you really are.
.
.
.
Always accessible in the here.
.
.
.
.
In the now.
.
.
.
And I know that you would like to deepen your state of relaxation.
.
.
.
To drift down into calm and restful sleep.
.
.
.
Just continue to relax.
.
.
.
To drift with the sounds you now hear.
.
.
.
To notice the silence beneath the sounds.
.
.
.
The space between the words.
.
.
.
Taking with you into your everyday waking state.
.
.
.
All the benefits of this meditation.
.
.
.
Feeling calmer.
.
.
.
More connected with the present moment.
.
.
.
A quieter confidence within.
.
.
.
Just continue to relax.
.
.
.
.
Drifting deeply into sleep.
