Begin
by taking a couple of deep, full, breaths and let the out breath be a real "letting
go" kind of breath.
As
you begin breathing slowly, comfortably and easily, invite your body to relax
and to let go of any unnecessary tension.
Take
the time to bring your attention to each part of your body, and invite it to release
and relax, letting go, easily, comfortably.
You
can feel the muscles in your face relaxing.
Your
shoulders are relaxing.
The
muscles of your back are relaxing.
Your
legs are relaxing.
Your
hands and feet are relaxing.
You’re
letting all the tensions go.
And
your whole body is becoming more and more relaxed.
Just
let it happen, releasing, letting go, relaxing even more, now feeling a warm wave
of pure relaxation rolling down your body, from the top of your head, to the tips
of your toes.
Our
Healers are available at the back of the room –

To
deepen this relaxation, imagine yourself now on a path leading alongside an alpine
meadow. Towering behind you are the snowcapped peaks of the surrounding mountains.
The air is clean and fresh. It is late afternoon on a sunny summer’s day. The
sky is a beautiful light blue with a few tall fluffy white clouds moving majestically
from the horizon.
The
pine trees stand tall and stately to your right, and you pick up on the strong
scent of the evergreens.
To
your left you can hear the rustle of an aspen grove.
Your
eye catches the shimmering of the leaves in the soft breeze.
The
path slopes downward. It has recently been cleared, the pine needles are brushed
to the side. You feel sure-footed and secure as you walk the path leading in the
direction of a meadow ahead.
As
you reach the edge of the line of trees, you see a comfortable looking bench beside
the path between two big pine trees. You sit down and lean back. The bench is
made of rough wood, but you find it very comfortable and relaxing to sit on.
As
you look around, you can see the meadow below you with its carpet of wild flowers
spread out..., blue, red, white, yellow, coral, splashes of green, sunlit, bees
humming, a dragonfly flits by.
You
look up through the canopy of trees and see the blue sky with the tall white clouds
going by.
It
is serene, beautiful, peaceful.
You
are conscious for just a moment of inhaling the energy, the life force, that's
in the fresh mountain air, and you’re exhaling all your tensions, all your worries
and concerns are flowing away.
There
is just the air, the rustling leaves, the drifting clouds, the scent of pine,
the rough texture of the bench all bringing a special calm, a sense of peace,
a sense of inner nourishment.
An
owl flies up and lights on a branch above you. It doesn’t frighten you. Rather
you feel a sense of curiosity. You continue to study the owl, as it looks back
at you. It ruffles its feathers before settling comfortably on the branch.
Something
passes between you, some unspoken communication. You have a feeling of oneness
with everything around you.. Your feeling of relaxation is even deeper. Allow
yourself the time now to relax for a few moments, drawing on the beauty of the
scene as you envision it, taking in the energy to re-energize and revitalize yourself.
Let
this be a time of renewal for your inner spirit as you listen to the music.

And

of serenity and peace, you prepare to return to the here and now with a renewed
sense of commitment to your path of spiritual enlightenment, and a feeling of
being refreshed physically, mentally and emotionally, ready to face the coming
days of the week, with renewed vigour and determination.
Opening your eyes now, feeling fine and in perfect health, much better than before.
