Make yourself comfortable and close your eyes.

Take a deep breath in through your nose

and slowly and gently

breathe out through your mouth.

Again, take a deep breath in

and slowly and gently breathe out through your mouth, letting out all of the air.

One more time, deep breath in, breathing slowly and gently out through your mouth.

Just relax and let your breathing come back to its normal rhythm. Now imagine that you are on your own

private island and this is your island your private wonderful place and on this

island you are safe you are loved and you are protected.

Now you realise that you are standing in a forest on this beautiful island.

Look around you.

What can you see?

Take a good look around you.

You can hear rustling in the trees

And you wonder what it is

Maybe it's the owls

As they set off to find their dinner

What else can you hear?

What are the sounds?

Can you recognise them?

The sun is setting in the sky and there is a gentle breeze blowing around your face.
