Instructions.
-
Let’s begin with finding a comfortable sitting position. Now close your eyes and let your body relax.
-
When you are ready, press “play”.
-
Recall a positive life situation that had happened. It can be a birthday party, graduation day or it can be even getting your very first pet.
-
Feel the excitement you had when you first experienced. Note the way you feel, act, and behave. How does it feel? Is it genuine happiness… neutral… or excited?
-
Slowly breathe in the fresh smell of nature, filling your lungs with air completely. Now exhale… and slowly breathe out.
-
Inhale the smell of nature… the plants… the trees surrounding you.
-
Focus on your breath. If unwanted thoughts creep in, ignore it, and concentrate on your breathing. When breathing out, bring along any form of distraction too.
-
Breathe in… 2, 3, 4… hold… exhale… 2,3,4,5. Continue to breathe like this, slowly and deeply. In… hold… out… In… hold… out…
-
When you feel that you are ready, you can open your eyes and return to full wakefulness, feeling alert, and refreshed.
