Place Guided Imagery' Script |
|
| (Read
this free guided meditation into a recorder first,
for personal use only, copyrighted material.) |
|
| To
begin this guided meditation, sit or lie down in
a comfortable position and close your eyes. Notice
your body and be aware of any tension. Began releasing
any tension you notice with your breath as you exhale.
Allow your breathing gradually slow down. As you
do this, allow yourself to picture in your mind’s
eye, a safe place. Notice what the first comes to
mind. What type of place does your mind choose as
a safe Place...? |

If it's
a beach, what to the waves look like? What do they
sound like? Can you feel the mist on your face?
Taste the salt on your tongue? Allow yourself to
notice if there any birds overhead. Hear the sound
of the birds chirping, singing a song. Notice if
there are any breezes in this place, feel the wind
on your cheeks...
Notice the ground beneath your feet. Is a dirt or
sand? What does it feel like on your feet? Is a
warm or cool on your toes? Allow yourself to lie
down in the safe Place and feel the ground beneath
your body. Notice the gentle sand below warming
your body, allowing you to relax even more and feel
safe during this meditation. Feel the weight of
your body resting on the ground allowing gravity
to help you release any tension into the ground
and let go of it. Imagine that with each rush of
the waves touching the shore that any tension gets
washed away with the tide... |

| Look
above you into this sky and notice the color of
the sky. Is the sun shining? Is the sky clear? Notice
if there any trees around. What kind of leaves do
they have? What color are the leaves? Pick one of
the leaves and notice what it feels like, what's
the texture’s like? Then notice a tree stump in
this place and go and sit on this stump, feeling
the sun above your head warming you and further
relaxing you. Breathe in the warmth and vibrancy
of the sun allowing it to fill you with a sense
of calm and peace from the top of your head to the
tips of your toes. Notice as you become part of
your safe Place that you feel more rested, more
relaxed, more at peace... |

When
you're ready, allow yourself to come back into this
room and leave your safe place for now, knowing
that at any time you can return to your safe place,
anytime you need...After you have thoroughly visualized
this place, open your eyes but stay in the same
relaxed position. Continue to breathe smoothly and
rhythmically, and take a few moments to experience
and enjoy your relaxing guided meditation. Your
safe place is available to you whenever you need
to go there.
