- 4:01Speaker 1: surface beneath you becoming softer, more cloudlike. Feel the cloud
- 4:11Speaker 1: rising out of the surface you are on, surrounding you
- 4:17Speaker 1: in its protective support. Soon you are floating on just
- 4:25Speaker 1: the cloud. Let it rise a little further, taking you
- 4:33Speaker 1: with it. See the walls and ceiling around you disappearing
- 4:41Speaker 1: as you float into the sunny sky, drifting on the cloud.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Feel the cloud beneath you. It is soft but supportive.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Feel the cloud supporting your whole body. Notice each place
- 5:08Speaker 1: where your body is touching the cloud. Feel how soft
- 5:15Speaker 1: and comfortable the cloud is. It is almost like floating
- 5:21Speaker 1: in the air. Notice how the cloud feels. It might
- 5:29Speaker 1: be a little bit cool and moist, like fog. Your
- 5:37Speaker 1: body is warm, very warm and heavy and sinking into
- 5:44Speaker 1: the cloud. It is a wonderful feeling. Start to create
- 5:54Speaker 1: an image in your mind of where you are. You
- 6:00Speaker 1: might be floating just barely above the ground. You can
- 6:05Speaker 1: choose to float wherever you like. The sky above you
- 6:14Speaker 1: is bright, blue, sunny and inviting. You are warm and comfortable,
- 6:22Speaker 1: warmed by the sun's rays shining down peacefully. There are
- 6:29Speaker 1: some other clouds in the sky floating gently. See them
- 6:36Speaker 1: lazily passing by far above. Your cloud can float wherever
- 6:45Speaker 1: you choose. If you enjoy being high up, you can
- 6:50Speaker 1: let your cloud rise into the sky. It is very safe,
- 6:56Speaker 1: very calming, very relaxed. You are so relaxed floating on
- 7:08Speaker 1: a cloud. Support it gently but firmly by your cloud,
- 7:17Speaker 1: surrounded by the cloud's protective embrace. See the sights around
- 7:24Speaker 1: you as you are floating on a cloud. Imagine the
- 7:30Speaker 1: green grass below gently blowing in the wind. The grass
- 7:38Speaker 1: recedes further away as you rise into the sky. From here,
- 7:47Speaker 1: the grass looks like a soft carpet, the wind creating
- 7:52Speaker 1: gentle waves in the grass as if it were water.
- 8:00Speaker 1: What else do you see? Perhaps some trees, their leaves
- 8:05Speaker 1: whispering in the gentle breeze. You can gaze down on housetops,
- 8:13Speaker 1: country roads, hills. From this amazing vantage point, you can
- 8:20Speaker 1: see around you three hundred and sixty degrees. The horizon
- 8:26Speaker 1: stretches out in a complete circle around you. Notice in
- 8:32Speaker 1: the distance how the hills appear almost blue, slightly hazy.
- 8:43Speaker 1: How does it feel to be floating on a cloud?
- 8:49Speaker 1: Does it sway gently like a boat on almost smooth water?
- 8:57Speaker 1: Does it drift in the breeze? Can you feel the
- 9:04Speaker 1: movement as you gently float on the cloud. You feel
- 9:12Speaker 1: so comfortable, so relaxed, floating on a cloud. Continue floating
- 9:30Speaker 1: on a cloud, enjoying the sights around you. Up here
- 9:36Speaker 1: the air is so clean. Look up at the beautiful sky.
- 9:48Speaker 1: The clouds that were high above you are much closer now.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Some are so close you can almost touch them, not quite.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Continue floating on a cloud, drifting rising even higher if
- 10:08Speaker 1: you wish. The ground below you looks like a patchwork
- 10:16Speaker 1: quilt green grass, golden fields, yellow brown blue patches of water,
- 10:29Speaker 1: rivers and lakes. See the clouds around you. You are
- 10:39Speaker 1: even able to look down on some clouds. See the
- 10:45Speaker 1: shadows they make on the ground below. Can you see
- 10:52Speaker 1: the shadow from your cloud? See how the shadow drifts
- 10:59Speaker 1: silently across the ground below. Relax and luxuriate in this
- 11:10Speaker 1: beautiful scene floating on a cloud. You are so close
- 11:21Speaker 1: now to another cloud above you that if you reach out,
- 11:25Speaker 1: you can touch it. What would it feel like? You
- 11:33Speaker 1: can even rise higher still and pass right through the
- 11:37Speaker 1: clouds above. Feel the mist on your cheeks. As you
- 11:44Speaker 1: rise through the clouds around you. It is a glorious
- 11:51Speaker 1: white like fog. The sun shines through just enough that
- 11:59Speaker 1: the white all around you glows vibrantly. You rise higher still,
- 12:10Speaker 1: suddenly coming through the clouds and into the open, dazzling
- 12:15Speaker 1: sunlight shining on your face. The sky above is brilliant blue.
- 12:28Speaker 1: You can look down on the cloud you just passed
- 12:32Speaker 1: and see the white, fluffy peaks and valleys of this
- 12:35Speaker 1: cloud below. It looks like perfect snow. Looking around below you,
- 12:44Speaker 1: It is as if you are above a land of snow.
- 12:51Speaker 1: The sun shines brightly. Lay back on your cloud, floating relaxing,
- 13:05Speaker 1: floating on a cloud. Feel the cloud beneath you, still
- 13:13Speaker 1: supporting you smoothly and comfortably. Take your cloud wherever you wish, higher, lower,
- 13:30Speaker 1: side to side, Drift wherever you want to go, Enjoy
- 13:39Speaker 1: the sites around you as you are flying wherever you wish.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Continue floating on a cloud, relaxing. Imagine wherever it is
- 14:04Speaker 1: you would like to go. Your cloud can take you there.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Maybe you want to float above the mountains, drifting above
- 14:18Speaker 1: the rocky peaks. Perhaps you would like to drift along
- 14:26Speaker 1: the coast of the ocean, watching the waves crashing to shore.
- 14:34Speaker 1: Maybe you would like to float through the city, drifting
- 14:39Speaker 1: in and out among buildings and watching the cars below.
- 14:49Speaker 1: You can travel anywhere you wish. You can look down
- 14:54Speaker 1: on forests, the countryside, even your own home. Float wherever
- 15:02Speaker 1: you like, Enjoy the sights around you. Enjoy floating on
- 15:21Speaker 1: a cloud. You are so relaxed, so peaceful. Now it
- 15:42Speaker 1: is time to return to your day. Let your cloud
- 15:47Speaker 1: take you there. Feel your cloud flying through the sky,
- 15:53Speaker 1: back to where you need to go. Let your cloud
- 15:58Speaker 1: lower you down, back toward the ground. Float back to
- 16:06Speaker 1: where you were when you started this visualization. Let the
- 16:14Speaker 1: cloud meld with a bed, chair, or whatever surface you
- 16:19Speaker 1: are on. Feel the cloud slowly disappear as the real
- 16:26Speaker 1: surface becomes more solid beneath you. Notice now your surroundings
- 16:37Speaker 1: gradually come back to the present. Feel the surface beneath you,
- 16:46Speaker 1: Hear the sounds around you. Become more and more aware
- 16:52Speaker 1: and alert. Continue to rest for a few moments longer,
- 17:00Speaker 1: but open your eyes and look around, see the surroundings.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Wiggle your fingers and toes, feeling your body reawaken. Shrug
- 17:26Speaker 1: your shoulders, move your arms and legs, turn your head.
- 17:41Speaker 1: When you are ready, you can return to your day
- 17:45Speaker 1: feeling refreshed and alert after your journey floating on a cloud.
