In order to let ourselves relax, it is useful to start from a
|
|
place of peace, a center, a point of stability, so the first step,
|
|
will be to take ourselves to that place.
|
|
|
|
Relax and sit back.. Close your eyes, and let your mind start to
|
|
drift.. Breathe slowly, and deeply, breath from your diaphragm,
|
|
from your center.. And as you breathe, sit straight, but remain
|
|
comfortable.. As you straigten, so does your spine, and like a
|
|
pole, it connects you between the ground below and the airy sky
|
|
above.. Feel the energy tingle at both ends of the pole that is
|
|
your spine, and let the energy flow from the earth, up your spine,
|
|
and out the top of your head, dispersing back into the glorious
|
|
starfilled universe above.. As this energy flows, let it carry
|
|
with it all the negative emotions, pain, frustrations, bothers,
|
|
and tensions that you have built up.. Let it carry those tensions
|
|
up through you, and out of you, and let new energy, and a peaceful
|
|
state of relaxation fade in slowly..
|
|
|
|
Now, let yourself relax, and if you want, let yourself sink
|
|
backwards until you are lying flat on the ground.. Let your mind
|
|
drift, and let any thoughts that surface just surface and float
|
|
away, like bubbles on a calm day. You can and will remember them
|
|
later if you want, but for now, just let them go, and let yourself
|
|
float..Breathe deeper, and slow your breathing down with every
|
|
breath.. And with every breath, relax your body and your mind even
|
|
further, and the more relaxed you get, let your breath slow even
|
|
more.. (repeat this a few times, then pause)
|
|
|
|
Now as you relax, feel yourself enveloped in a cool, comforting
|
|
red mist.. It's neither hot nor cold, and you can just barely
|
|
feel it against your skin.. Let it swirl around you, and
|
|
relax..Feel yourself lying on a cloud, solid enough to support
|
|
you, but very very cushioned, very very comfortable..Every part of
|
|
your body is supported by this cloud, your feet.. your legs.. your
|
|
arms.. your back.. your neck.. your head.. all cushioned, all
|
|
supported, all very very comfortable.. Now the cloud slowly starts
|
|
to sink through the red mist, carrying you along with it.. very
|
|
very slowly, and very very comfortably you are carried deeper and
|
|
deeper into relaxation.. The mist around you slowly begins to
|
|
change from the deep lustrous red, to the beautiful orange of a
|
|
fall sunset.. slowly, slowly.. The orange lightens, and the mist
|
|
changes color to a soothing lemon yellow.. and as the color
|
|
lightens, so does your body, you float on the cloud that carries
|
|
you barely touching it.. and slowly, the yellow darkens to the
|
|
verdant hue of a summer lawn, a green so beautiful, you can almost
|
|
hear the wind blowing through grass stalks.. and slowly, the green
|
|
deepens to the blue of a summer sky, beautiful and brilliant, an
|
|
azure heaven surrounding you, and you still float downward on the
|
|
cloud.. resting lightly, relaxed and comfortable.. Now the blue
|
|
darkens and deepens to the midnight purple blue of the moonless
|
|
night, dark and peaceful, quiet.. and you feel the cloud you have
|
|
been riding touch down gently..
|
|
|
|
And the mist fades away, and you are lying on your back, on a
|
|
patch of grass. The wind blows lightly over you, a very full moon
|
|
pours down light onto the field, and you can hear ever so faintly,
|
|
the crickets and other night insects chirping in the distance..
|
|
|
|
Wherever you are now, there will be something that draws you
|
|
towards it..it might be a path, it might be a place, it might be
|
|
another person in the field with you.. There can be anything here
|
|
that you desire, because this is your sacred space, your heart of
|
|
dreams.. In this place, anything can change, but it can only
|
|
change as you let it.. Since you have built this place, you have
|
|
furnished it, you have populated it.. It is a place for you to go
|
|
to explore yourself, and your connections to the world around
|
|
you.. Go now, and explore this area for a time, taking note of
|
|
what interests you, speaking to whomever you encounter and wish
|
|
to.. (LONG pause)
|
|
|
|
Very slowly, you come to realize that it is time for you to bid
|
|
farewell for now to this place. Say farewell to whatever
|
|
creatures you have conversed with.. bid farewell for now to any
|
|
things that you wanted to look at, but have not yet had time to
|
|
examine.. They shall be here if you ever choose to return.. Know
|
|
that you can return here if you wish to, just by willing it, and
|
|
bid this place farewell.. Let yourself lie down again in any
|
|
small clearing in the place..
|
|
|
|
Feel the mist, comfortable and relaxing, close in over you
|
|
again, dark as the midnight moonless sky, and feel the comfortable
|
|
cloud form again under your feet.. your legs.. your arms.. your
|
|
back.. your neck.. your head.. feel it support you, and begin to
|
|
rise, very very slowly, very very comfortably.. breathe deeply,
|
|
and relax, and rise upwards, and let the dark sky of midnight fade
|
|
to the azure blue of noon.. slowly, slowly, rising.. the blue
|
|
deepens to the verdant green of a summer lawn, and the cloud keeps
|
|
rising slowly.. slowly the green lightens and is replaced by the
|
|
soothing lemon yellow.. and slowly, slowly, you keep rising..and
|
|
the yellow deepens to the beautiful orange of the summer sunset,
|
|
and you rise again slowly, slowly, until the orange fades, and is
|
|
replaced by the deep soothing red..
|
|
|
|
Let your mind still float, and your body remain relaxed, but
|
|
very very slowly start to ease back into the feeling of the floor
|
|
under your back, the sense of people around you in the room..(long
|
|
pause to let everyone recenter)
|
|
|
|
okay. (said, makes sure everyone breaks the trance if they are
|
|
still in one).
