- 2:24and you can smell the beautiful aroma of the many
- 2:26wildflowers all around you. The sun is high up in
- 2:31the sky and you can feel the warmth of its rays.
- 2:35As it shines down upon you. You see a patch

- 2:43to lie down on it, just waiting for you to
- 2:47have a little rest in the beautiful, warm sunshine.
- 2:53Speaker 2: And as you lie.
- 2:54Speaker 1: There, you feel the grass beneath your body, and it
- 2:59feels so soft and so spongy. It's like you're lying
- 3:04in your very own bed. It's so comfy. You look
- 3:10up towards the sun and see it sparkling light, and
- 3:18you can feel its loving warmth. And as you look
- 3:22at it, you notice a tiny ball of golden light
- 3:27just separate itself from the sun, and it gently floats
- 3:32down towards you. As it reaches you, it stops and
- 3:40it hovers just above your belly, and it shines so
- 3:44brightly with its golden warmth and loving light. You reach
- 3:50out and you hold it gently in your hands, and
- 3:54it feels so wonderful, and you know that you are
- 3:59holding a tiny part of the very sun itself. It
- 4:06feels warm to the touch, but not hot. It's hard, really,
- 4:11because you thought that it would be too hot to touch,
- 4:15but it's not, and it tingles and it moves like
- 4:19it's alive. Well, that's because it is alive. The beautiful
- 4:25sun has given you a piece of itself to help
- 4:30you to feel loved and protected, to help you feel
- 4:34calm and peaceful. And as you watch, the little piece
- 4:41of the sun melts into your hands and they begin
- 4:45to glow just like the sun, and you can still
- 4:48feel its warmth, you can still feel its loving light.
- 4:56Place one hand on your belly and where your belly
- 5:00button is and just let it rest there, Just gently
- 5:05let it rest there. Now, begin taking slow, deep breaths
- 5:12as the sunlight from your hands enters your body. Just
- 5:19breathe into your lower belly where your hand is, feeling
- 5:23the warmth of the sun, feeling your belly expand outwards,
- 5:31and as you gently breathe out, you feel your belly
- 5:36slowly come back down again, and you can feel your
- 5:40hand rising and falling to So focus on breathing this
- 5:48way just a few more times, feeling your belly expand
- 5:54with the warmth of the sun and feeling your belly
- 5:59slowly come back down again. If you want, you can
- 6:04even imagine the small glowing ball of light and love
- 6:08that you're held in your hands. Slowly moving throughout your body,
- 6:14making it tingle everywhere it goes. See the color of
- 6:20the light as you take your next slow, deep breath in,
- 6:27watch it as it travels slowly up into your body,
- 6:33up towards your head, up into your chest. You can
- 6:38feel it warmth spreading throughout your entire body. As it
- 6:43goes up into your neck. You feel so peaceful and
- 6:47so calm right now. You feel it as it travels
- 6:53into your face, into your mouth, and your cheeks, your nose,
- 7:00even into your eyes, making you feel so relaxed, so peaceful,
- 7:08so very calm. Then it travels off into your head,
- 7:14and it feels so nice and warm and so comforting.
- 7:19It's like your body is made of nothing else but
- 7:23peace and calm. It now begins to travel back down
- 7:31your body, back through your face, back through your neck,
- 7:38back through your chest, and finally into your belly. As
- 7:44you watch this ball of light traveling with your breath,
- 7:48notice how it feels as it passes through your entire body.
- 7:55The beautiful ball of golden light and love begins to
- 7:59travel all the way down through your legs. It travels
- 8:04through your knees, it travels through your ankles, It travels
- 8:11into your feet and your toes, and you feel so
- 8:15very peaceful and so full of light and love given
- 8:20to you by the wonderful sun. Your whole body feels
- 8:27so warm and so peaceful, and your whole body is
- 8:33filled full of love and beautiful light, and you give
- 8:39a big sigh of happiness. Now, think of something or
- 8:45someone that you're grateful for, someone or something that makes
- 8:51you feel special and loved, someone or something that makes
- 8:58you smile with happiness. And just for a short while,
- 9:03as you listen to the music playing softly in the background,
- 9:08picture what you're grateful for clearly in your mind. See
- 9:14it with as much detail as you can, really feel
- 9:19the gratitude and love, really feel the happiness it brings
- 9:26to you, just for a few moments, just remember and
- 9:33let it fill your entire body. You feel so peaceful now,
- 11:11so calm, so relaxed. You feel very tired now too,
- 11:19so sleepy, so happy, and a beautiful wave of sleepiness
- 11:27begins to travel all the way up your body and
- 11:31down into your arms and into your hands, making your
- 11:36body feel very very heavy, very very tired, very very sleepy.
- 11:47And this gentle, warm wave of sleepiness travels up your
- 11:51face and over the top of your head and down
- 11:55the back of your neck, and you feel so tired now,
- 12:00so sleepy. You feel nice and warm and snuggly under
- 12:07your soft blanket and very squishy pillow. So just have
- 12:12a little sleep now, and as you do, remember that
