 Hello and welcome to this mindfulness meditation where we're going to be visualizing your peaceful and most beautiful place. Visualization is a powerful method that allows you to use your imagination to connect into your true self to help you to relax and I don't want you to do this if you're doing anything that requires your full attention like driving or working but I'd like you to return to it later when you can find a quiet time to relax having the ability to simply find a comfortable spot to listen to my voice and follow my direction and if that time is now we'll take a moment to sit back and relax gently close your eyes and breathe deeply into your abdomen just feel yourself in your body right now in this moment and just as you breathe allow your body to completely and fully relax your stress is flowing out with each one of your breaths your body is becoming more comfortable very limp and just let some of the tension go in your forehead in your brow just soften and allow your your lips just to let go of any tension let your eyes release any tension just relax in the comfortable darkness that surround you just follow your breath moment to moment breath to breath and once you start to feel yourself become relaxed and centered start to bring yourself to one of your favorite peaceful beautiful places this could be a place you've been before like a silent redwood grove with a cool shade or some towering ancient trees that protect you in their mammoth embrace or a white sanded beach where the ocean waves gently lap against the shore you can smell the sea makes you feel at home it could be a place purely built entirely in your imagination maybe a lovely slowly swaying bridge that you stand on watching a babbling brook away beneath you or an ancient oak in the autumn something out of an old Arthurian legend or golden leaves they fall around you as you sit in the shade and watch the golden orange Sun pass over the horizon into the toilet whatever this special peaceful places for you take some time just to imagine it as completely as you can all around you and once you have this special place in mind bring yourself into the picture imagine that you're in this beautiful place put yourself there take a walk and look at the lovely peaceful relax in surroundings and before you were looking at this peaceful scene like a painting from a distance now you are in the scene you are living it be there right now and what you see around you there's no need to actually verbally answer this question just look around you and see what you see and what in this scene is most relaxing to you maybe you take a walk in this special place and see all that you can see what you smell in the air can you smell the trees the soil the forest beneath you do you smell the salty air or the ocean side whatever your visualization is bring your scent to that space smell the air where you are and wherever you are in your wonderful peaceful beautiful space just reach out and touch something reach out and touch anything that's attractive and peaceful to you and just ask yourself how does it feel how does it feel how soft is the touch and in every essence of your body you are truly living in this scene you feel the ground beneath you the air on the skin how does that feel just take a moment to listen what sounds you hear what do you hear in this beautiful new surrounding maybe you can hear the birds chirping in the woods do you hear the ocean waves crashing with a perpetual rhythm perhaps there's music from an ancient flute in the background or maybe you hear the voice of an old friend that soothes and calms you whatever you hear take a moment now to enjoy listening to it and you can stay in this scene as long as you want to enjoying this moment of relaxation that you've taken for yourself feel free to walk around in this space as long as you want it's yours and you can change the scene as you wish remember that this is your special place it's always here for you you can come back to it whenever you wish you need not be afraid to lose it it's always with you the relaxation that you feel right now at this moment is your body is your call you can call upon it anytime you wish when you're ready slowly let the scene before you just appear when anytime you want but in this moment we take a deep breath in and we let it go and you slowly let the scene before you dissolve back into your mind allow yourself to slowly come back to the comfortable darkness that was there before you imagined your special place and when you're ready in your own time you can slowly open your eyes and come back to this moment this time this reality feeling completely calm and relaxed and rejuvenated and before you get up before you stop this take a moment to note how relaxed you feel right now and then slowly and attentively and mindfully and importantly lovingly move on with your daily life thank you for listening God bless you be loving give love have a wonderful beautiful mindful day thank you for listening
