Sit or lie back and relax.
And allow yourself to get comfortable.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
And.
Exhale.
Now I'd like you to focus your attention on your breathing.
Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.
And as you do this.
I want you to breathe in on the count of four.
And exhale on the count of four.
Breathe in relaxing, soothing energy.
And breathe out all the tension and stress that you have inside of you.
Become more aware of the rhythm of your breath.
Take a deep breath and hold.
Now exhale.
And release. Relax your body.
Let go and just relax.
Now I want you to bring in a sense of golden light above your head.
Either sense it, feel it, or imagine it above your head.
Feel the calming energy of this light source. Soothing, so comfortable.
So very relaxing.
Allow yourself to let this energy relax you.
Just let every muscle in your body relax.
Feel this energy around the top of your head. Soothing.
Balancing.
Warming.
And relaxing the muscles in your skull.
It feels so very good.
Now let this energy flow across your forehead.
And down into your eyes.
Cheeks, nose and mouth.
Relaxing, soothing, warming, balancing all those muscles.
Allow this energy to flow down.
Into the jaw.
Relaxing all those muscles in the jaw area.
Fill your jaw. Gently drop down.
As the muscles relax.
Flowing with the rhythm of your breathing.
Feel your body drift and float into relaxation.
Allow this golden light energy to flow into the neck.
Relaxing all your muscles.
As it continues its journey across your shoulders.
And down into your hands and even into your fingertips.
Allowing all stress and tension to flow out of your fingertips.
Allowing this relaxing, warm energy.
To move further down through your body.
The chest and abdomen, into the hips.
Balancing, warming, soothing and calming.
All the muscles.
In your body.
Allowing you to feel so very good.
As the energy proceeds down into your legs.
Through the thighs, into the knees.
Through the shins and calf muscles.
Allow this energy to flow down into the ankles, into your feet.
All the way down to your toes.
Allowing the stress and tension.
To flow out of your toes.
Let go.
You no longer need it.
Now that your whole body is relaxed.
Allow your mind to open up and become more and more receptive to the sound of my voice.
But knowing at all times that you you are in complete control. That's right, you are in complete control.
And I wonder.
If you can imag.
Floating up to a large, soft, fluffy cloud.
Or floating from high down onto a soft.
Fluffy cloud.
And you are feeling safe.
And warm.
And supported.
And within that big fluffy cloud.
You can allow yourself to sink down more into.
Into a soft, velvety comfort.
And all around you are other Clouds.
Some of them tiny puffs of cloud.
Being tinged by sunrise or the sunset.
Beautiful, soft, pink oranges, purples.
And as you immerse yourself more and more in this cloud.
You get to realize that.
There is like a luminous light, a beautiful light.
Inside that cloud.
A pervasive light, a wonderful light.
And as you.
Just relax there, gently.
That light begins to.
Touch your face.
Your ey, your nose.
Your mouth.
Your body.
And I wonder, will you realize.
The many different ways you can experience that light.
As that light starts to move through the pores of your skin into your body.
Just like the sun.
Crosses the sky in the course of the day.
Warming, healing.
Comforting.
Allowing you to feel so good.
As that gentle healing light.
Continues its journey into you. Gently.
Gradually.
Deeply.
Moving.
Touching.
Infusing.
And as you continue to breathe.
With a nice, even rhythm.
That rhythm brings it deeper into your body.
Through your mind.
Filling every part of you.
This wondrous healing line.
Cleansing.
Clearing.
Renewing.
Replenishing.
Rejuvenating.
And maybe you can sense something.
Releasing.
Opening.
Letting go.
Unlocking.
As that light permeates.
The deepest parts of your being.
It releases more and more of fear, feeling.
A positive feeling.
Of growth.
And development.
And positivity.
The stirring.
Of power.
This power is allowing you.
To be.
Rejuvenated.
Perhaps even reborn somewhere.
To begin again.
To start afresh.
To renew.
To allow you to change.
And this wondrous light and power.
Is being transferred to you.
From that wonderful cloud all around you.
And maybe you can feel that, or sense that, or know that.
Just through the wonderful, gentle, soft, infusing light.
Filling you up.
Cleansing and calming.
As that cloud merges into you.
And can be part of you.
And you are safe and warm.
Cradled and snuggled.
As you drift gently.
Down and down, more relaxed.
Deeper and deeper.
As you get lighter.
And lighter.
And in that.
Protected cloud, safe and warm and relaxed.
You are able to focus on your life.
Your situation.
Your help.
And I wonder if you will notice how possible it is to.
Imagine things are further away.
And you are just suspended and floating above them.
Allowing you either now or in a moment.
To start seeing things from a different perspective.
Things can look different.
Smaller.
Less important.
And from this distance, way up here.
Things can begin to lose their power.
Down there.
Lose their color.
Their shape.
Their texture.
Get dimmer.
And fade away, can't they?
And looking down at these things.
Safely within this wondrous cloud.
Everything is different.
And you might become aware.
That those old things.
Can bring up new ideas.
When you see them or sense them or know them.
At this distance.
Different in many, many way.
Perhaps even surprised to find that some things are no longer there.
The world below constantly changes, doesn't.
And that change can be like a.
Evolution.
Perhaps slow.
Or quick.
And perhaps things that you thought couldn't change.
Can actually alter.
And everything around has altered too.
And maybe you haven't noticed yet.
But when people begin to question things, old ideas.
Things they thought of as fact.
Even if they question them a little.
They begin to open up to the possibility of change.
Slowly perhaps, but everything does change.
And change has already begun to happen.
Is happening now.
And it can be subtle.
Or amazing.
That realization.
And your conscious mind, mind might not even know that, or be aware of that.
Or sense that in any.
While. The unconscious mind.
Already knows and believes.
And once change happens.
It gets stronger and better. It goes on.
And it changes things around it.
Flowing, changing direction, changing course.
Changing course to new ways of being and feeling and experiencing.
And wonderful new breakthroughs.
Can be beginning to happen.
Even if you're not aware of them yet.
And I wonder if you might.
Be open to accepting.
That change can happen quickly or slowly.
Or perhaps some part of you knows that this positive change has already happened.
And you can choose to experience.
Things differently.
More positively from now on.
To see things in a brighter light.
To stand back.
Or to look down.
And take a completely different perspective.
Because everything changes, doesn't it?
And as those things change.
As you begin to realize things have changed, they change more and more, don't.
And you can reflect a little bit now while in this wonderful cloud.
To think.
To realize.
To be curious enough.
To become aware.
The many ways that you could know by.
Or sense by.
Of how things are different.
And there are many ways that things, those things.
Can change themselves radically and completely and positively over time.
So use your thoughts now and your thinking and your feeling.
For a little while.
Do you think, think about these things.
And perhaps other things.
And that developing awareness inside your mind.
And that developing positive feeling.
And enjoy that feeling of lightness and comfort and safety.
That this wonderful cloud is.
And as part of you while you do that.
And when you are.
Completely ready.
When you have done everything you need to do on those levels.
Made all the changes you want to see and feel and know and experience.
To feel the difference of being different.
Positively different.
And knowing that something fundamental really has changed.
That deep down inside of you.
There is something.
Really releasing, opening, listening.
Letting go.
Then you can begin to.
Bring yourself back.
To present day awareness.
But at the same time taking whatever time you need.
And then count yourself back.
Or up.
From five to one.
And when you get to one.
Being back fully in the present moment.
Fully learned.
And ready to get on with the rest of your day.
Sleep the rest of the night soundly.
And healthily.
So take as long as you need now.
And come back to the present moment. Outside awareness.
When you know that the process of change, positive change.
Is starting.
And you know it will continue.
