- 3:49a picture in your mind. Imagine that you are floating on a soft,
- 3:55fluffy white cloud. Feel the surface beneath you becoming softer, more cloudlike.
- 4:10Feel the cloud rising out of the surface you are on, surrounding you in
- 4:16its protective support. Soon you are floating on just the cloud. Let it
- 4:30rise a little further, taking you with it. See the walls and ceiling
- 4:39around you disappearing as you float into the sunny sky, drifting on the cloud.
- 4:51Feel the cloud beneath you. It is soft but supportive. Feel the
- 5:00cloud supporting your whole body. Notice each place where your body is touching the
- 5:09cloud. Feel how soft and comfortable the cloud is. It is almost like
- 5:19floating in the air. Notice how the cloud feels. It might be a
- 5:29little bit cool and moist, like fog. Your body is warm, very
- 5:40warm and heavy and sinking into the cloud. It is a wonderful feeling.
- 5:53Start to create an image in your mind of where you are. You might
- 6:00be floating just barely above the ground. You can choose to float wherever you
- 6:06like. The sky above you is bright, blue, sunny and inviting.
- 6:18You are warm and comfortable, warmed by the sun's rays shining down peacefully.
- 6:28There are some other clouds in the sky floating gently. See them lazily passing
- 6:36by far above. Your cloud can float wherever you choose. If you enjoy
- 6:47being high up, you can let your cloud rise into the sky. It
- 6:53is very safe, very calming, very relaxed. You are so relaxed floating
- 7:06on a cloud. Support it gently but firmly by your cloud, surrounded by
- 7:17the cloud's protective embrace. See the sights around you as you are floating on
- 7:27a cloud. Imagine the green grass below gently blowing in the wind. The
- 7:38grass recedes further away as you rise into the sky. From here, the
- 7:46grass looks like a soft carpet, the wind creating gentle waves in the grass
- 7:54as if it were water. What else do you see? Perhaps some trees,
- 8:03their leaves whispering in the gentle breeze. You can gaze down on housetops,
- 8:13country roads, hills. From this amazing vantage point, you can see
- 8:20around you three hundred and sixty degrees. The horizon stretches out in a complete
- 8:28circle around you. Notice in the distance how the hills appear almost blue,
- 8:37slightly hazy. How does it feel to be floating on a cloud? Does
- 8:50it sway gently like a boat on almost smooth water? Does it drift in
- 8:58the breeze? Can you feel the movement as you gently float on the cloud.
- 9:11You feel so comfortable, so relaxed, floating on a cloud. Continue
- 9:28floating on a cloud, enjoying the sights around you. Up here the air
- 9:37is so clean. Look up at the beautiful sky. The clouds that were
- 9:48high above you are much closer now. Some are so close you can almost
- 9:56touch them, not quite. Continue floating on a cloud, drifting rising even
- 10:07higher if you wish. The ground below you looks like a patchwork quilt green
- 10:18grass, golden fields, yellow brown blue patches of water, rivers and lakes.
- 10:35See the clouds around you. You are even able to look down on
- 10:41some clouds. See the shadows they make on the ground below. Can you
- 10:52see the shadow from your cloud? See how the shadow drifts silently across the
- 11:01ground below. Relax and luxuriate in this beautiful scene floating on a cloud.
- 11:20You are so close now to another cloud above you that if you reach out,
- 11:24you can touch it. What would it feel like? You can even
- 11:33rise higher still and pass right through the clouds above. Feel the mist on
- 11:43your cheeks. As you rise through the clouds around you. It is a
- 11:50glorious white like fog. The sun shines through just enough that the white all
- 12:00around you glows vibrantly. You rise higher still, suddenly coming through the clouds
- 12:13and into the open, dazzling sunlight shining on your face. The sky above
- 12:22is brilliant blue. You can look down on the cloud you just passed and
- 12:31see the white, fluffy peaks and valleys of this cloud below. It looks
- 12:37like perfect snow. Looking around below you, It is as if you are
- 12:45above a land of snow. The sun shines brightly. Lay back on your
- 12:56cloud, floating relaxing, floating on a cloud. Feel the cloud beneath you,
- 13:13still supporting you smoothly and comfortably. Take your cloud wherever you wish,
- 13:24higher, lower, side to side, Drift wherever you want to go,
- 13:39Enjoy the sites around you as you are flying wherever you wish. Continue floating
- 13:56on a cloud, relaxing. Imagine wherever it is you would like to go.
- 14:05Your cloud can take you there. Maybe you want to float above the
- 14:16mountains, drifting above the rocky peaks. Perhaps you would like to drift along
- 14:26the coast of the ocean, watching the waves crashing to shore. Maybe you
- 14:35would like to float through the city, drifting in and out among buildings and
- 14:41watching the cars below. You can travel anywhere you wish. You can look
- 14:54down on forests, the countryside, even your own home. Float wherever you
- 15:01like, Enjoy the sights around you. Enjoy floating on a cloud. You
- 15:24are so relaxed, so peaceful. Now it is time to return to your
- 15:43day. Let your cloud take you there. Feel your cloud flying through the
- 15:52sky, back to where you need to go. Let your cloud lower you
- 15:58down, back toward the ground. Float back to where you were when you
- 16:07started this visualization. Let the cloud meld with a bed, chair, or
- 16:17whatever surface you are on. Feel the cloud slowly disappear as the real surface
- 16:26becomes more solid beneath you. Notice now your surroundings gradually come back to the
- 16:38present. Feel the surface beneath you, Hear the sounds around you. Become
- 16:49more and more aware and alert. Continue to rest for a few moments longer,
- 17:00but open your eyes and look around, see the surroundings. Wiggle your
- 17:17fingers and toes, feeling your body reawaken. Shrug your shoulders, move your
- 17:32arms and legs, turn your head. When you are ready, you can
- 17:42return to your day feeling refreshed and alert after your journey floating on a cloud. One
