Lie down in a comfortable position, relax your legs, let your feet loose, arms beside your body with palms open facing the sky. Close your eyes and star relaxing through breathing… Take a deep breath…
Let the air spread in all your body…in every cell…cleansing all your being.
Inhale through your nose and exhale through your nose…
Guide the air to your mind and soul…to every path…slowly-slowly…without hurry…exhale deeply…
With each breath, you can take in the air your body needs. You can exhale any tension you may be experiencing.
Inhale in 3 counts,
Inhale in 3 counts deeply and slowly…breathe in relaxation and breathe out tension in 3 counts, feeling lighter…Feel your body calm..at peace…observe this feeling of relaxation spreading everywhere…in you…around you…
Focus your attention on your breathing cycle…relax…
And you feel ready start for today’s “journey”…
Imagine a long corridor…that leads to the garden through an open door…It is a sunny day…a day full of light…
Your steps are leading you…seems to know the way…
You already feel the warmth from the sun…more and more as you reach the way out to the garden…
Let your whole body extend and feel relieved and “open” while stepping out…still keeping your eyes closed…raise your head and take a deep breath…exhale deeply feeling satisfied having inside you a sweet sense of relaxation and peace…
Imagine a ballon…waiting for you…to take you to a new experience …ready for a flight…how beautiful it is!!!!
A flight in a ballon…an awesome colorful ballon!!!
Green, red, orange…all the colors of the rainbow…
A flight in a ballon…start by throwing out the large sandbags…they are heavy…yes…you know they are heavy…but you can make it…because you always wished for this “journey”…and it is your chance now…and you are ready for this.
Repeat after me:
I am strong and I am free…
I am capable to lift these sandbags and throw them out…
I have the power I need…
I am going to this flight…I wished for it…I wanted it…I am going…
Yes…I am strong…
The power is in me…
Throw the first sandbag…
…the ballon gained height…you are so happy…
Throw more and more until you are high enough!
Finally no more sandbags…you have reached the blue sky…a sky without borders…a flight to the endless sky…
Take a deep breath and look ahead…
Wherever you gaze, wherever your mind and soul travels…you breathe in “beauty”!
Repeat after me…
I am free and powerful…
Yes I will always be free and powerful …
I can do everything…
I am capable…
I am the power and the freedom…!!!
You can come down to your garden again…
Touch your ballon…thank it…it is yours…this magical…unique ballon…it will always awaits you…there…at the same place…whenever you wish…ready to fly with you and take you higher to the endless sky!!!
You can return now…Breathe in deeply and slowly…breathe out deeply and slowly…
I will count to 3 to return to our day…Θα μετρήσω έως το 3 για να επιστρέψουμε στο τώρα…
- Take a deep breath in, exhale fully
- One more deep breath and exhale slowly and calmly…Start wiggling your fingers and toes…move your whole body…knees…thighs…pelvis..trunk…arms…head… Stay calm…enjoy and keep the feeling of relaxation now…
- Open your eyes and wake up…let your attention turn now back to normal conscious awareness…
Accept and enjoy the new challenge you experienced!!!!
