In this brief YouTube excerpt, therapist Shari B. Kaplan, LCSW, guides a client through a calming practice that combines deep breathing with a vivid visualization. The speaker invites the listener to regulate the nervous system, then imagine a source of universal energy—referred to as God, source energy, or nature—entering the body as light. Shari shares her personal metaphor of opening a sunroof and extending her hand to receive the light, symbolizing the infusion of strength, courage, and wisdom. The dialogue emphasizes flexibility in language and the therapeutic intent of fostering inner resources through sensory imagination.
