Speaker 3: Just allow your eyes to close easily and gently. Ah,
Speaker 3: bring your awareness to your breathing, and just allow your
Speaker 3: breath to be normal and natural. Nothing fancy but your awareness,
Speaker 3: which has been out in the world, working, thinking, pushing, stressing.
Speaker 3: Just let it come home to your breath. Just let
Speaker 3: it come home to your body. Good. So tonight we're
Speaker 3: being lazy, lazy, lazy, lazy. So bring your awareness down
Speaker 3: into your feet. You've just kicked off your sandals, and
Speaker 3: your toes are digging into warm, warm sand. You're sitting
Speaker 3: on a sun chair on a Caribbean beach. There's a
Speaker 3: large beach umbrella stuck in the sand next to you,
Speaker 3: and its shade is being cast over whatever part of
Speaker 3: your body needs to stay out of the sun. The
Speaker 3: warmth in the air is penetrating your skin. Every cell
Speaker 3: of your being is relaxing. Every cell of your being
Speaker 3: is releasing and relaxing, going deeper and deeper. You're wearing
Speaker 3: something comfortable, maybe a bathing suit or a light beach covering.
Speaker 3: There's a sound of steel drums being played in the distance.
Speaker 3: A beautiful tropical breeze is caressing your body. The salty
Speaker 3: smell on the sea hangs in the air. You feel
Speaker 3: hypnotized by the gentle waves. Laughing up against the beach.
Speaker 3: You feel lazy, very, very lazy, there's nothing to do,
Speaker 3: nothing to think, nowhere to go. You decide to recline
Speaker 3: in the chair, so you push it back. Now you're
Speaker 3: lying down. Your head is sinking into the lounger, feeling
Speaker 3: nice and heavy. As you bring your awareness to your eyelids,
Speaker 3: you notice that they feel heavy, sleepy, comfortable. And now
Speaker 3: you accept the suggestion that your eyelids are so heavy
Speaker 3: that they will not open. And now I'd like you
Speaker 3: to test your eyelids to make sure they won't open
Speaker 3: by wiggling your eyebrows. While your eyelids remain shut, just
Speaker 3: pretend you can't open them, and tug your eyebrow. Good. Good.
Speaker 3: As you go deeper and deeper into relaxation, you feel
Speaker 3: the sun lounger against your back and your legs as
Speaker 3: you sink into it even further repel. This feels nice
Speaker 3: and heavy. Any physical tension you may have been carrying
Speaker 3: today is sinking into the sand as your body goes
Speaker 3: deeper and deeper, feeling calmer and calmer. Imagine one of
Speaker 3: your arms falling to the side of the lounger as
Speaker 3: you reach down and touch the sand. It's fine, dry sand,
Speaker 3: almost white, like a powder. And as you play with
Speaker 3: the sand, letting it fall between your finger, you go
Speaker 3: deeper and deeper, letting yourself fall into relaxation. It feels nice.
Speaker 3: Let your attention be in your fingertips, touching the sand.
Speaker 3: You smell the salty air as you relax, and with
Speaker 3: every grain of sand that fall, you go deeper. There's
Speaker 3: nothing to do, nothing to think, nowhere to go. And
Speaker 3: as your body is relaxing, your mind is relaxing. And
Speaker 3: as your mind is relaxing, your body is relaxing. And
Speaker 3: as your body is relaxing, your mind is relaxing. You
Speaker 3: may be aware of the sounds going on around you.
Speaker 3: There are sounds from within your imagination, like the steel
Speaker 3: drums in the distance, the lapping of the waves. And
Speaker 3: there are sounds from your immediate environment, noises from within
Speaker 3: your home, or sounds from the street. But from this
Speaker 3: moment on, no sound that you hear will bother or
Speaker 3: disturb you in any way. In fact, any sound that
Speaker 3: you hear will actually take you deeper and deeper into
Speaker 3: relaxation as you let go. Those sounds are simply vibrations
Speaker 3: taking you deeper. The only sound you may be paying
Speaker 3: any attention to is the sound of my voice. But
Speaker 3: even the sound of my voice is beginning to drift
Speaker 3: and flow. As you drift and flow, you decide to
Speaker 3: take a stroll along the beach. So you get up
Speaker 3: from your lounger, slowly, lazily. As you begin walking, you
Speaker 3: feel your hips move easily and comfortable. You feel good
Speaker 3: in your body. You sense the wet sand beneath your
Speaker 3: feet shifting as you walk. Cool waves of water hit
Speaker 3: your feet and send a delightful chill up your spine.
Speaker 3: It's so good to be alive, enjoying every moment. You
Speaker 3: stop and look out over the vast, sparkling ocean and
Speaker 3: feel your whole being expand. It feels so good to
Speaker 3: release and expand. You let go of everything, pressure, responsibilities,
Speaker 3: heavy feelings. They're all floating out out out over the water,
Speaker 3: over the horizon. As you relax, you notice that the
Speaker 3: sky is a wedgewood blue spotted with fluffy white clouds
Speaker 3: morphing lazily across the horizon. Watch the clouds transform. You've
Speaker 3: got nothing to do, nothing to think, nowhere to go.
Speaker 3: As you look at the ocean, you see it is
Speaker 3: made up of different shades of blue. There are dark
Speaker 3: patches of navy blue above the reefs, and then big
Speaker 3: swaths of turquoise, an irridescent turquoise in the shallow water
Speaker 3: above the white white sand. You relax and breathe in
Speaker 3: the amazing beauty of nature. This is paradise, and you've
Speaker 3: got nothing to do, nothing to think, nowhere to go
Speaker 3: as you simply receive this beauty. As you continue to
Speaker 3: stroll along the beach, you notice a tiki bar. It's
Speaker 3: made of bamboo with a thatched roof made from dried
Speaker 3: palm front. As you get closer, the bartender says hello
Speaker 3: and gives you a warm smile. You take a stool
Speaker 3: in the shade and listen to the clink of ice
Speaker 3: as the bartender fills a blender. The whirr of the
Speaker 3: blender takes you deeper and deeper into relaxation, and soon
Speaker 3: the bartender is pouring you a cool drink, the perfect
Speaker 3: drink for you, with a paper umbrella sticking out of it.
Speaker 3: It smells fruity and feels cool in your hand. As
Speaker 3: you sip your rik, you twist lazily on the stool
Speaker 3: back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. You
Speaker 3: feel lazy lazy, lazy, And as your body is relaxing,
Speaker 3: your mind is relaxing. And as your mind is relaxing,
Speaker 3: your body is relaxing. And as your body is relaxing,
Speaker 3: your mind is relaxing. As you look around, you notice
Speaker 3: all the other people on the beach doing lazy things sunbathing, napping,
Speaker 3: reading magazines. There's a warm, lazy breeze moving through the
Speaker 3: palm fronds, and the trunks of the palm trees are
Speaker 3: bending slightly in the breeze. Everyone everyone is going deeper
Speaker 3: and deeper into relaxation. Everyone is enjoying the laziness. Nothing
Speaker 3: to do, nothing to think, nowhere to go. You say
Speaker 3: thank you to the bartender and put your feet back
Speaker 3: in the warm, dry sand. Walking on the sand causes
Speaker 3: your body to relax, slow down, and connect with the earth.
Speaker 3: It's nice to feel your feet in the warm, warm sand.
Speaker 3: As you reach the waters out, you notice that you
Speaker 3: are in a cove where the water is shallow and warm.
Speaker 3: You realize you're wearing a bathing suit now, and if
Speaker 3: you want to, you begin taking little steps, slowly and
Speaker 3: lazily into the crystal clear Feel the water around your ankle,
Speaker 3: and now your calves and your thighs until the water
Speaker 3: reaches your waist. It feels so nice to be in
Speaker 3: the Caribbean ocean. Now you crouch down and let yourself
Speaker 3: bathe in the ocean, warm salty water moving up to
Speaker 3: your neck as you stretch out and float, float, float,
Speaker 3: the salt water holding you so lovingly as you stare
Speaker 3: up into the blue blue sky. Nothing to do, nothing
Speaker 3: to think, nowhere to go. And as your body is relaxing,
Speaker 3: your mind is relaxing. And as your mind is relaxing,
Speaker 3: your body is relaxing. And as your body it's relaxing,
Speaker 3: your mind israelaxing. You get back up on your feet
Speaker 3: and walk slowly out of the water and back to
Speaker 3: the beach. You notice a shower in a secluded spot
Speaker 3: behind a grove of palm trees. You go to the shower,
Speaker 3: turn it on. You feel the warm water cascade down
Speaker 3: your body, removing all the saltines, which leaves your skin
Speaker 3: silky smooth. The air is warm and begins drying you off. Immediately.
Speaker 3: You see a hammock hanging between two palm trees. You've
Speaker 3: had a wonderful day and you're so relaxed, and the
Speaker 3: hammock looks very enticing. The sun is sinking, and it's
Speaker 3: the perfect time for a nap. The steel drums how
Speaker 3: quieted down and sound like a lullaby in the distance.
Speaker 3: You feel lazy, lazy, lazy as you stretch yourself out
Speaker 3: on the hammock and swing back and back and forth,
Speaker 3: back and forth. You watch the palm front moving in
Speaker 3: the breeze. They look waxy and shiny. You've got nothing
Speaker 3: to do, nothing to think, nowhere to go. The sun
Speaker 3: has sat, the steel band has gone to bed. As
Speaker 3: you go back and forth, and four and for
Speaker 2: Dai
