One can practice guided imagery in a quiet and comfortable place.

1.       You can sit or lie down in a comfortable place where there is not much sound.

2.       Close your eyes.

3.       Inhale and exhale – take deep breaths to relax the body.

4.       Visualize a peaceful, calm setting and your happy place – it could be your garden, forest, mountain, lake, hiking place, riverbank, stream, or sea.

5.       Once you visualize, start picturing the place the way you wanted. Imagine the things that you want in those places – flowers, fruits, butterflies, scent of flowers, sun, moon, stars, painting, favorite books etc.

6.       While trying to get into the calmness and sense of relaxation linger into your favorite scene for some time or as long as you want. You should feel that you are energizing, rejuvenating.

7.       When you feel energized and calm, open your eyes slowly, blink a few times and come back to the present. You can always return to your favorite scene whenever you want.
