The warmth of the sun

Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and relax.Think of the sun imagine the orange glow,feel the intensity of warmth against your skin.

Keep this colour and warmth in your mind’s eye. Fill it surround you,as you begin to feel bathed in its brightness, you restore your energy, and warmth.

Just simply take yourself away with every breath and awake feeling refreshed and relaxed )

Soothing sounds of the rain

Rain has natural ability to slow down your day.Just relax its only water.Try to go with the flow its out of your control.Listen to the calm pitter patter of the soothing sounds of the rain

Watching and listening to relaxing sounds and images does more than just make you feel good and calm you down.People who meditate understand how it helps to restore their energy, and some claim they need less sleep as a result.I meditate often and know that is a great stress buster.I encourage you to practice and let go.You will notice an improvement in the way you think and feel.

 

Meditation

What is meditation?
Meditation is a deep relaxation technique.Many people find that there lives are so full of demands from work,family,friends and organized leisure activitys that they have no time to Just down and still the mind.Some people are so caught up in planning and working towards there future that they take little pleasure from the here and now.Meditation is a good way of taking time out, time for you to appreciate the calm moment.Meditation can give the same effect to the body as taking a walk in the countryside can or sitting by the sea and listening to the sounds of the waves while focusing on your breathing.
