Find yourself somewhere nice, cozy and warm warm and close your eyes.

Take a deep breath in through your nose

and slowly and gently breathe out through your mouth.

Again, deep breath in

and slowly and gently breathe out through your mouth.

One more time, deep breath in,

breathing slowly and gently out through your mouth.

Now just relax and bring your breathing back to its normal rhythm.

Just relax. That's right.

Now I want you to see yourself on your own private island.

A special place. This is your island, your private, wonderful place. A peaceful retreat

just for you.

And here you are safe, you are loved, and you are protected always.

Now take a look around you.

What can you see?

The sun is shining high in the sky and there is a gentle breeze blowing on your face.

You lift your head towards the sun and you realise you can look at it and it doesn't hurt your eyes.

And you can feel the warmth of the sun on your skin. You turn around now and you walk towards your magical, sacred forest.

And you can see tall trees and many different flowers, all in radiant beautiful colours.

And you catch a glimpse of a small animal scurrying in the undergrowth and peeking out between the trees.

What animal is it? Can you see it? You step on to the old worn path

and follow it until you come to a small clearing in this beautiful forest
