Please lie down in a place where you can comfortably go to sleep. and get into that perfect position that is just right for you. Take a few stretches here and there. Move around a bit and you'll soon discover the place that is just right for you. Always try and concentrate these deep breaths into your stomach, into your belly. And if you're stressed and are doing any upper shoulder or upper chest breathing, just try that up into your stomach and into your belly. So you feel your entire lungs with oxygen in and out.

Making sure that oxygen is going into the deepest parts of your lungs, nourishing and also making sure your red blood cells attaching themselves to all those osstromolec outside. It's so healthy and so important to do slow, deep breathing. It can relax you immensely and also help you in your day to day. I hope your eyes are closed and if they are not, gently close your eyelids. and become prepared and ready to sleep as you rest here comfortably I would like you to use your creative imagination and visualize yourself in a lovely cottage bedroom

there are oak beams on the bedroom ceiling and an amber lamp on the bedside table that baths the room in a calming and golden glow. It's been a tiring and long day. Perhaps you've been on holiday or vacation and have been walking for miles and miles and your legs are heavy and tired and you just want to sink into a comfortable bed

that has been freshly cleaned and laundered and prepared just right for you The temperature just feels right The air just feels right Ready for bed You're weary and you climb under the duvet And rest your head on the pillow Would be your favourite position for sleeping

Perhaps you can imagine Your body in this position As you close your eyes and reflect on the events of the day you may have noticed how your mind tends to wonder when you are ready for sleep and when your mind wonders

just let it go where it will you may notice shadowy images floating between your eyes and your lids and if so that's fine because nobody wants anything right now. There is absolutely nothing for you to do

but relax and let go. This time is just for you. You don't even need to listen to me. Just go where it takes you. Just go where your mind wonders knowing too that your subconscious mind is always on the alert. and will hear and everything that you need to hear and can awaken if you need to.

Your legs are heavy and tired. Your body is heavy and tired. You are becoming relaxed. You are feeling sleepy, so tired and sleepy. Your head rests on the pillow and your arms are in the most comfortable position. so comfortable, so heavy and so relaxed, just relax every muscle and nerve and cell of your body. And as you do, so your mind can relax and wander freely. Be vaguely aware of dreams drifting in and out of your conscious awareness as you become sleepier,

and sleepier. So tired, so heavy and so relaxed. I will be quiet for a few moments and in the silence. Just follow the silver threads of your conscious awareness. Deeply, deeply, deeply relaxed, but you can hear every word that is spoken. Your bedroom curtains are still open And you become aware of a beautiful sky scene The sky is a glow with colour There are shades of red Orange and yellow gold

The most outstanding feature is a huge orange cloud Which appears to be coming closer and closer to you. You see streaks of deep purple or dark brown running through the cloud creating amazing images that change from time to time. Perhaps you notice the face

of someone you used to know and you can recognise this face by its smile the face may change into a figure of a bird with its wings spread out as it is ready for flight and as the bird takes flight the image again changes to that of a reclining figure someone basking in comfort and luxury

I will be quiet again for a moment or two so that you can see other images from your imagination performing in this orange cloud. All these images that you're seeing and that are changing and that are becoming clear to you they all seem very welcoming to you inviting you to join them

on their journey through the sky and the cloud draws closer and closer to you You imagine in your mind's eye that you arise from your bed and move carefully towards the window of the cottage. It's a warm summer evening and the window is ajar. You open it fully and the cloud comes closer and closer to you and the whole sky seems orange from the setting sun and in your dream the cloud reaches out for you.

And all at once you experience yourself being drawn onto and into the orange cloud. And it feels so nice and it feels so good. In your dream the cloud reaches out for you. And all at once you experience yourself being drawn onto and into the orange cloud. The reclining figure has changed into a luxury chair. Perhaps it's an old-fashioned chaise loge, richly upholstered with soft feathery cushions. Or it could be your favourite armchair, the ball sofa. Once you're snuggling down into your chair on the orange cloud,

which takes you up and up into the red golden sky that is being formed by the beautiful sunset on this. summer's day. You go higher and higher, away and away, just drifting dreamily away, to a long lost land of dreams, where your imagination rules. And the higher you go, the more comfortably relaxed you become. Up, up and away, away to a place that belongs only to you. Indeed, a place that comes from deep within you, a very special and safe place where your subconscious mind knows that whatever solutions in life you seek,

you will find them. Now that you're relaxing so well, we are going to deepen your trance state using your wonderful imagination to visit a dream destination which is safe, secure, and comfortable, a lovely place to be. You can experience this destination in your dream in every detail.

As you're right there with it in your dreams. You can experience your dream destination and live and enjoy the experiences as it happens right here and and right now. And it doesn't matter if you've never visited this place before. Just allow yourself to see, sense and experience what I'm saying and you will visualize it. So when you are ready and if you are ready now, let us begin your wonderful journey. Now imagine yourself coming to. down from the cloud to this destination.

You've had an amazing journey in the cloud and you're feeling a little sleepy as you arrive. But you have been looking forward to this moment for so long. So you make your way to the beach. You see yourself now. Relaxing on your own private beach with soft golden suns and crystal clear

blue green waters and the waves are lapping gently onto the shore listen to those waves as they lazily splash what a peaceful and tranquil sound you have the whole of this wonderful bay to yourself and to enjoy and it stretches for miles and miles around

it is a most glorious place place to be. And as you relax in the sun on your wonderful beach, you shade your eyes from its glare and notice the lush green palm trees all around your tropical island. And some of these have many large coconuts up high in the tops. The sky is beautiful and it has that orange cloud and that orange look that you just saw from the cottage.

The palm trees are swaying ever so gently in the warm summer breeze and looking out across the clear blue green waters of the ocean you see quite clearly dolphins swimming around

jumping playfully in and out of the beautiful clear calm waters In the distance, you see many Tiley Islands scattered around with other marine creatures playing peacefully together. This somehow makes you feel very happy to be here and right now you realise this that this is your Paradise Anand

where you can come to escape from the ordinary everyday world. world whenever you wish. It's starting to get a little bit warm now. So you decide to cool down by walking around your tropical island. You can feel the soft, silky sand beneath your bare feet. And when you venture nearer the sea, you feel the lovely fresh waters. cooling you down as you go. You realise that it's now getting late, so you return to your spot on the beach. And the sun is just starting to set.

A myriad of different shades of red, orange and yellow streak across the once clear blue sky and the turquoise water of the ocean is deepening in colour. Now, as you look across your magic dream tropical bay, you see the most amazing sight that you have ever seen, a golden yellow sunset that is slowly setting over the ocean, making its shimmer and sparkle and glow.

and you continue to watch until the sun finally sets. As it disappears, it leaves a lovely warm feeling that spreads across the whole of the island and this lovely warm feeling spreads over you and your entire body, mind and spirit, and you feel at one with your dream destination. and you find yourself going deeper and deeper into this tranquil dreamlike experience and for a few moments you will not hear my voice but in the silence I want you to continue experiencing this peaceful tranquility in your own special way

and when you hear my voice next you'll be twice as relaxed, twice as comfortable and ready to accept any suggestions that are for the benefit of your health and well-being. And now that you are deeply relaxed, you can start to realise there are things that you can control in life and things that you cannot control. For example, you can't control the global impact of something like a pandemic. You can control how you can react and how you personally manage it. You can take steps to lower stress and do things like establishing routine every day. Just because you are home, doesn't mean you shouldn't get up at the same time and shower and get ready for your day.

Doing so can help you feel better about yourself. Another thing you can do, if you have to work at home, is to mix up your space a bit. If you have a laptop, you could work in your office one day, and move to another room the next day if you have one room to work in you could perhaps move the furniture around a little every week just to keep things fresh

it's also important to connect with others even if you are connecting online or on social media you might video chat or just pick up the phone and connect with others in a meaningful way. Another good thing is to find some time to be separate too, especially if you live in a home with a lot of other people, too much closeness and get on your nerves

so everyone in the house should strive to find a quiet space. they can retreat they can retreat to when things get overwhelming if you are able to and allow to you should dedicate an hour or so each day to taking a walk outside

getting some fresh air and shifting your focus being cooped up all day it's a great time to catch up on your reading, listen to a favourite podcast, or start a new project. During this time, it's also important to challenge yourself to live in the moment

and not constantly worry about what tomorrow will bring. Embrace this time and enjoy it because you don't know how long it will last as you move through this process it's important to acknowledge your feelings stress is something we all must deal with we cannot often change what is happening around us but we can change how we react

and how we respond we can change the things we can control and learn to manage and accept those things that are outside of our personal control staying calm during something like a pandemic can be very challenging it's very stressful having to remain inside and self-quarantine your normal routine is no longer something you can rely on It can be frustrating having to stay indoors. You probably miss being outside and miss the social connections.

Cabin fever is a real thing, but there are things you can do to feel better. You may have days where you easily manage the stress of being cooped up inside. and other days where you feel very stressed which is perfectly understandable you can learn to minimise the effects by taking things one day

at a time getting in touch with the present moment is empowering because it helps you become aware of the stresses and then let them go doing so can minimise stress and lower the stress response helping you learn how to respond versus constantly reacting.

Another way to manage cabin fever is to practice visualisation and guided imagery. The things you visualise while in a hypnotic trance are perceived as real by the mind which makes it a great technique for something like cabin fever. So let's try this now.

Now in this very relaxed state of mind, focus on your breathing. Notice the rise and fall of your chest and your diaphragm as you breathe, connect with the sensation of the breath. You're breathing deeply, listening to the sound of my voice. breath after breath

breathing in peace and tranquility and breathing out stress imagine your muscles melting away with each deep breath and try and empty your mind

of all thoughts and imagine your thoughts are like clouds floating in the sky if any stray thoughts appear, practice pushing them away. Notice if your mind is focused and clear, or if it wanders off. It wanders off just keep coming back to the breath. Listen to the sounds around you. All the beating of your heart and in this relaxed state of mind you begin thinking about those things that make you feel so,

Good. What kind of things do you enjoy doing on a lazy day? Imagine a warm summer's day. You have absolutely nothing planned. Picture yourself sitting outside on this beautiful day. The air is warm. The sky is clear. There is a mountain off in the distance. softly surrounded by clouds.

Picture whatever is around you and sit in this quiet place. And you might even be somewhere you consider a sanctuary of sorts. This might be a rustic home in the woods, a lovely spa or even a bungalow. In this place you have everything you need. to rest and relax. You can relax inside or go outside. You have access to your own private outdoor space here away from all the crowds and people know that you're perfectly safe and perhaps in this private bungalow you have a lovely

porch with a swing and you can sit on the swing and swing back and forth as often as you like. And you imagine yourself doing that now. You're swinging back and fall. Back and forth is such a relaxing feeling. You might also have a cool drink next to you and maybe a cool glass of lemonade or tea and you. you take a sip of the cool liquid and enjoy the sensations as you drink it and you feel relaxed and refreshed as you swing back and forth ever so slowly and as you swing you notice the clouds above the clouds are moving slowly as well and you feel peaceful and calm and you notice how quiet

everything is. As you swing, you feel the rush of air blowing over you and you're watching those clouds. Gently float by, think to yourself. These troubles are over. You'll have so much to do. You'll be able to see friends again, see family, go out, enjoy yourself. Because these hard times won't last forever. They'll be gone soon. They'll be gone in some part of next year. And things get better. And they will get better

because of the scientific progress we're all making. And knowing that you have so much to look forward to and just such a little time to wait, it makes you feel so good to your thoughts of where you are and you watch these clouds gently float by. You notice around you a valley full of beautiful flowers.

The flowers gently open up. In the afternoon sun the breeze blows over so slowly and you might also decide to take a walk in this beautiful meadow to stretch your legs. As you begin walking, you immediately notice the aromas of the plants and flowers and how they smell sweet and you soon discover a hidden path and decide to explore the plants

take all your skin as you walk and you make yourself smile. Far from the distance you see a beautiful forest and it beckons you in As you breathe in deeply, you can smell the evergreens and the pine and you continue walking, taking in all of the sights and sounds all around you. And you notice small animals scattering about and hear the soft crunch of sticks and twigs, crackling as you walk, feeling adventurous, you're just a soft crunch of sticks and twigs, crackling as you walk. you decide to continue following this hidden path as you drift deeper and deeper

down into peaceful relaxation and the forest is soothing and calming and you feel drawn to his magic inextricably drawn as you walk brush becomes thicker and thicker and as you go deeper and deeper you feel yourself becoming more and more relaxed as you walk in this forest. You notice the sun gently reflecting upon the forest floor below.

Off in the distance, you hear a gurgling stream and you begin walking towards that peaceful sound. You begin to realise that this is just what you needed. A day outdoors in the fresh air. It feels so good to connect with the earth after being cooped up inside. And as you walk, the earth replaces your energy. There is a wonderful technique known as grounding that can help you replenish your energy as well.

Grounding is a process that helps your physical body to connect to the life-sustaining energy that comes from the earth. You decide to take off your shoes for a moment so your feet can connect with the raw earth below. As you connect with Mother Earth, you feel rejuvenated. Your energy is immediately replenished and you take a moment to stand here and notice how it makes you feel.

With each beat of your heart, you feel connected more and more with the earth, and after a while you put your shoes back on and continue walking. As you walk further, you watch a leaf gently fall from a branch high above the earth and are mesmerized by the sight of it. You come upon an old tree and raise your hand up to feet. feel the rough bark. The bark feels rough on your skin, but it is a nice, earthy feeling. The air smells musty, and you notice ferns and mushrooms gently pushing their way out of the ground. You feel a deep sense of peacefulness here. You feel safe here. The canopy of leaves over your head

is protecting you and you feel as if the world is totally supporting you today there is absolutely nothing you need to do or nowhere you need to go

any remaining tension begins to drain from your body you are on a sacred journey within this is a place where you can just let go you look up and notice the trees seem to go on for miles. The sun makes it beautiful, intricate, lace-like pattern on the ground below.

And you wonder what it would be like to sit up at the top of the tree and look down at the forest below. All of your problems seem to fade away with the gentle breeze as you breathe deeply and you breathe in that peace. and quality. And you notice that any time you feel cooped up, you can close your eyes and take this journey in your mind and the mind is a vast place, ever expanding and growing. With each deep breath you take, you feel more and more refreshed. You notice the soft call of birds and water trickling nearby and small animals gently moving all around you. The air is cool and the breeze is soft and you enjoy the sounds of the forest. It makes the breeze blowing through the trees feel so peaceful.

The birds are singing and an owl is hooting off in the distance. You might even stretch your arms up above your head. and ease out any last bits of tension. This is exactly what you needed today. Your perception begins to shift. You suddenly see this extra time as a lovely gift. And you feel a smile coming over your face. You have everything you need today.

To feel good, the breeze continues to relax you. more and more and the forest floor is soft and thick. The air is fresh and you can smell the aroma of pine all around you. You can take in everything around you as you walk. The smell of the flowers. The aroma of the pine trees. And even the smell of the air, you see the blue sky peeking. through the green branches and you watch the clouds gently flow by.

You don't have a care in the world today. Not today. This is the perfect time to rejuvenate your energy. And now you can stretch your body a little more and decide to walk back on the path that brought you here. You pass all by these beautiful trees and the streets. and you listen to the sounds of the birds as you walk by. You step back over the small sticks and twigs and logs and once again

stop to feel the rough tree bark. You feel completely re-energized from this walk in the forest and it feels so nice. This is a place where you can truly rest. And before you know it, You are back at your little bungalow and you feel so happy. You are ready to hunger down and enjoy your evening. And this is a wonderful place. And in this wonderful place you have everything you need to be comfortable and to feel good.

The kitchen has been stocked with all your favourite foods. You have an assortment of beverages to help you feel good as well. You have plenty of cool, clean water. Water is very hydrating, so you always make sure to drink plenty of water. There's a huge bathtub for soaking all your cares away, and you love relaxing in the bath and the shower. You have a lovely assortment of books and things to read. This is a great time.

to catch up on your reading or to watch a little TV. You have a cushy window seat with a view of the valley. Perfect for those lazy days. And as you explore this bungalow, you notice the bedroom. The bedroom is absolutely perfect. You have a large feather bed and a comfortable sofa there. There are many, many spots throughout the bungalow where you can go to relax or read. And you spend as much time here as you like.

This bungalow is always waiting for you and you're welcome at any time. You while the hours away and find plenty of things to fill your time. You might listen to music, watch a good movie. or simply take a nap. Perhaps you have a project you'd like to start. Think of all those activities. You can get caught up on now. Think about all the things you never had time to do until now.

And you begin to realise that everything is a matter of perspective. You can either choose to feel anxious about being cooped up or use it as a rare opportunity for going within and rediscovering who you are. This is a wonderful revelation. Today you are choosing to feel good. You sleep so well here. You wake up and you feel good about the day ahead. And the best part of this is the fact that you can make your own schedule

You may even sleep in a little because you have more time without your daily commute. You get up in the morning, you get up in the morning at a leisurely pace and you enjoy a lovely cup of tea or coffee and you really enjoy slowly having your breakfast and your morning drink. And the best part of this is that you can venture out onto that hidden path at any time you feel cooped up. You can take a walk and smell the flowers You can take your shoes off And connect with the gentle energy of the earth And you can sit by an old tree And read a good book

You can sit and swing on your porch And watch the clouds up in the sky It's wonderful having this kind of freedom And whenever you are feeling a little stressed You close your eyes take off your shoes and walk barefoot in that grass. It's a lovely feeling. You feel easy and free. And now you're going to handle anything that comes your way so well. You've got this. You're fully prepared. And you take life one day at a time. You enjoy each moment and you savour this time.

And you take one more moment now. to enjoy this peaceful, relaxing feeling on this lazy summer day.
