- 1:22exhale and lower your shoulders into a comfortable position. Continue to breathe smoothly and
- 1:34gently as you continue the candle visualization relaxation. As you rest peacefully, begin
- 1:49to form an image in your mind. Imagine that you are in a safe,
- 1:57comfortable room. Room is pleasantly dark. Imagine the glow of a candle
- 2:08beside you. Keep your attention facing forward as you notice the gentle flickers of
- 2:17warm light on the wall in front of you. See the dancing light from
- 2:27the candle. Feel yourself relaxing as you watch the beautiful patterns made by the
- 2:38light of the candle. You might want to turn to look at the candle.
- 2:47If you wish, turn in your imagination toward the candle. Picture the
- 2:57candle in front of you and see the soft light it creates. Notice the
- 3:06flame gently moving as the candle burns. Imagine what the candle looks like.
- 3:16What shape is it, what color, what size? Create a picture of
- 3:25the candle in your mind. Imagine that the candle gently melts away the stresses
- 3:39and tension you have been holding in your body as the candle burns. Feel
- 3:49the tension easing and relaxation flowing through your body. Notice the wax becoming softer.
- 4:02Feel your body also becoming softer. Notice again the soft flame at the
- 4:14top of the candle. See how it flickers slightly and responds to your breath
- 4:21as you exhale. Watch how the flame responds each time you breathe. Now
- 4:38turn your attention back to the wax of the candle. The softening wax is
- 4:46melting, turning to liquid, warm and flowing free from tension. See the
- 4:59wax of the candle melting, melting the way your tension is melting away as
- 5:10the melted wax builds. See it slowly overflow and pour down the side of
- 5:15the candle drop by drop. It feels like any stresses you were holding onto
- 5:29are dripping away with each drop of wax from the candle. The soft flame
- 5:36of relaxation warms you from the inside, melting away all the stress. Watch
- 5:48the wax melting, feeling the same effects on the tension in your body.

- 6:29breath and exhale through your mouth, blowing out the candle. Slowly bring your
