the land of personal transformation
Get
into a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down. Become aware
of your physical body and relax the tensions in it. Gradually bring your
breathing into your conscious mind. Feel the cooling balm of your in breath,
feel the wonderful release of your out breath.
And as you feel more and more relaxed, I'd like you to imagine that your
body and your mind are new - they have been wiped clean of all their previous
limitations - you are like a new born baby who doesn't know anything about
fear or worry or guilt or anxiety.
Amazingly your new mind and your new body are capable of undergoing instant
changes.
First let yourself imagine that you are a giant blob of jelly. What colour
are you? Are you on a plate or in a bowl? Can you feel yourself enjoying
your wobbly nature? Shake your head gently and feel completely jelly like!
Suddenly you are transported to an underground cavern where the rocks
and crystals are all the colours of the rainbow. You are a stalactite
hanging from the roof of the cave. You are rigid as a board and quite
inflexible. You feel permanent and immovable.
Just as you are beginning to feel trapped in your stiff stalactite
body, you are transformed into a bouncy rubber ball. Imagine yourself
curled up and ready to bounce. Off you go with a momentum of your
own. You bounce away across a green field until you gradually
bounce less and less. You come to a halt and rest for a few moments.
Deep in the earth underneath you is a tunnel. You can only explore this
tunnel if you are prepared to become a mole. You are a beautiful mole
with velvet soft skin and brilliant little digging paws which help to
propel you forwards. You are perfectly adapted to live underground.
High up above, a bird circles in the air. You can escape from
the dark ground, come out of your hole and transform yourself
into a fellow bird. Stretch your wings and fly. Experience the
freedom of bird flight. And as you fly on the thermal currents,
you feel wonderfully liberated and free - free to explore new
territories, free to be anything you want to be.
So now you can become a new human being! You have your own body and your
own mind but you also have the ability to see yourself in a new light.
You are now sitting in your chair or lying in your bed and a ray of golden
light is shining down on you. You can feel the glowing power that this
ray of energy projects onto you. You absorb it, and feel invigorated and
ready for the next stage of your life.
When you’re ready, gradually come back into the room, stretch and
smile.
