  Speaker 1: Settle down and close your eyes. I'll take a deep
• 0:32
  breath and hold it for just a moment, and now
• 0:38
  let it all go big ex cigh of a breath.
• 0:46
  I'll take another deep breath, hold a breath, and slowly
• 0:53
  and gently breathe out, feeling very relaxed. One more time,
• 1:04
  deep breath in and hold the breath and slowly and
• 1:11
  gently breathe out, feeling very peaceful and very calm. I
• 1:21
  want you to take another deep breath in, but this
• 1:24
  time I want you to lift your arms slightly and
• 1:27
  just tense them up. So take another deep breath in,
• 1:31
  breathe in, deeply lifting your arms, tensing them up, and
• 1:38
  slowly and gently breathe out, letting go all of your
• 1:44
  muscles tension. One more time, breathe in, lift your arms slightly,
• 1:52
  tense them up, hold.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: The breath.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And breathe out, letting them drop back down naturally and
• 2:03
  relaxing your whole body, letting go of everything you no
• 2:09
  longer need. Now do the same again with your legs.
• 2:16
  Take a deep breath in and raise your legs slightly
• 2:20
  and tense them up as tight as you can, and
• 2:22
  hold a breath and breathe out, letting them slump back
• 2:29
  down again. One more time, deep breath in, raising your
• 2:37
  legs slightly, intending up and hold for just a second
• 2:43
  and breathe out, letting them slump back down again. Now,
• 2:51
  notice how relaxed your body feels, and notice how soft
• 2:56
  your muscles are. Now one more deep breath and hold
• 3:03
  the breath and breathe out, and let your mind be still. Now,
• 3:14
  imagine yourself sitting in a glass room in a beautiful,
• 3:20
  lush green forest, and the walls are made of glass
• 3:25
  and sows the slanting roof, and the raindrops are falling
• 3:31
  softly onto the clear roof, and you can see them
• 3:35
  as they slowly run down the glass. It's as if
• 3:41
  they have a sense of their own presence, a sense
• 3:45
  that they are alive too. And with each drop the falls,
• 3:52
  it is reminding you that you are in this present moment,
• 3:58
  the here and the now, the only moment we have,
• 4:04
  and it's reminding you to just appreciate the beauty of nature.
• 4:14
  You watch the rain gently falling down the glass roof
• 4:17
  for just a moment and see the patterns it makes
• 4:21
  as it joins up with the other raindrops, and its
• 4:26
  soothing sound is bringing you so much peace and serenity.
• 4:34
  You watch the raindrop slide gently down the windows, and
• 4:38
  again you watch as they form patterns and join together.
• 4:44
  They are so clear and so clean, and sometimes the
• 4:49
  raindrops even look a bit silvery too. So let go
• 4:55
  of any worries you may have. As you watch, you
• 4:58
  feel the rain drops washing away any stress or tension
• 5:03
  you may be feeling. You feel a gentle, calmness wash
• 5:10
  over you, just like the rain drops of washing away
• 5:14
  any days that may be on the windows or the roof.
• 5:22
  As you take in the beauty of the rain you
• 5:25
  begin to feel a sense of happiness building up inside you,
• 5:31
  and you realize that that happiness comes from within you,
• 5:37
  and that you can find happiness in the simplest things
• 5:41
  in life. And the rain drops are reminded to slow
• 5:46
  down and appreciate the present moment, to find joy in
• 5:52
  the most ordinary things, and to let go of any
• 5:57
  negative thoughts or emotions that you don't need anymore. You
• 6:04
  can also hear the raindrops as they bounce off the roof.
• 6:10
  Can you hear them? The gentle sound is so comforting
• 6:15
  and it feels so peaceful. The raindrops almost sound like
• 6:23
  they are tinkling. It's like they are singing to you.
• 6:28
  Can you hear them? Can you hear the sound of
• 6:33
  the tinkling raindrops? You look again at the beautiful raindrops
• 6:43
  slowly making their way down the glass, And as you
• 6:48
  look at them, you can see pictures they are making
• 6:52
  as they join together in different ways. Some of them
• 6:57
  look like little animals, some of them look like trees.
• 7:03
  What can you see in the rain ropes? So just
• 7:07
  for a few moments, watch and just listen to the
• 7:12
  sound of the tinkling rain.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Robs any movie anything.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: As the rain gently falls, you feel so grateful for
• 9:06
  this very moment, so grateful to be alive, so grateful
• 9:12
  for your family and your friends. So just take one
• 9:17
  more deep breath in, hold the breath, and slowly and
• 9:24
  gently breathe out, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. You feel so
• 9:31
  happy now, so peaceful and calm. So take another deep
• 9:38
  breath in, breathing in through your nose, and slowly and
• 9:43
  gently breathe out through your mouth. One last time, breathe
• 9:53
  in through your nose, hold the breath, and slowly and
• 9:59
  gently break out through your mouth. What have you are? Ready?
• 10:06
  Wriggle your fingers, wriggle your toes and slowly and gently
• 10:13
  open your eyes.
