 Welcome! Before listening to this meditation, please pause any tasks and activities and create breathing space. For a while, please find a quiet and uninterrupted space where you can get comfortable and be still and find a nice and relaxed position. Either sitting or running down, this meditation is designed to renew a sense of gratitude and being grateful to begin with. Taking a nice deep breath and release it out, slowly taking another deep breath and release it out, slowly again and allow yourself to close your eyes and get comfortable and relaxed. Focus on your own breathing, breathing in the warm and calming energy and breathing out, releasing any tension and any stress in your body, a deep breath in and as you release it allow yourself to relax and let go, begin to think deeper and deeper down, so calm, so peaceful and so relaxed allow yourself to stay focused on your own breathing, the sound of my voice and the music and just relax and let go. I'm now going to suggest some images to you. However, you experience these images are just perfect. No other, you are totally in control of experience. Imagine, we're a pretender, you are someplace where you have felt the most delighted in your life, perhaps it could be a real life place or one in your imagination whichever place you choose.
