Just allow yourself to get into a comfortable position
a place where you can simply
relax
and let go
and as you get comfortable
i would like you to focus...
focus on your breathing
become aware of your breathing
if you breathe in through your nose, or mouth.
notice how your chest and stomach
slowly rise as you inhale
and then slowly fall as you exhale
so easy
so natural
but also become aware
of how with each breathe that you take
you can feel your body
relaxing
and loosening.
you can notice the muscles in your chest
loosening and relaxing
the muscles in your jaw
letting go
you may even feel your jaw open
just a bit
that's ok just relax
become aware as well
of your shoulders
loosening
and lowering
and of the muscles in your head
and neck
simply relaxing
more and more easily
more and more deeply
with every breathe you take.
and the more you relax
the easier it is to focus
focus on my words
and let the world around you
simply fade away
simply fog over
and drift away
you'll know on some level
that you are safe
and calm
but in your mind
you can simply see the world
fade away
and nother world slowly replacing it
you find yoruself now
walking outside
it's dark
and cool
cool enough for you to wear something
thick and comfy
warm and cozy
but not so cold that you are uncomfortable
it's the perfect temperature
for you to bundle up
and be nice and relaxed


and just feel yourself walking
slowly adn easily
in the cool night air
you can feel it in your lungs
as you breathe
invigorating
and calming
but there is a soft
gentle scent in the air
the scent of pine needles
and the gentle sound of snow
crushign under your feet
nothing thick
and nothing too cold
just a nice little crunch
your warm and bundled up
and just walking
slowly and easily
and as you walk
you become aware of pine trees
all around you
a path in front of you
lined with pine trees
pine trees covered in lights
blinking or chasing
dancing or flashing
or the good old fashioned solid glow
you can see the light illuminating the path before you
and despite it being a cool night
the lights seem to make you feel
warm inside
cozy and relaxed
it's almost impossible to see a christmas light blinking away
and not feel at least a little smile
deep inside.
and as you walk
focus on the lights
every tree has a different pattern
a different style
they are as unique as the people who decorated them
everyone has a specific kind of light that they like
a different pattern, or even color,
or combination of colors
that just feels like... christmas... to them.
and as you walk through the trees
you can see different kinds of light setups
until you come across the tree
that is decorated
just for you.
just hwo you like it.
the exact color and kind of lights
blinking in the way that you like the best,
and just focus on that tree
see it in your mind
it's size
it's shape.
maybe even it's breed, if you are aware of such things
and just soak in the lights
slowly blinking in front of you


each tree is unique,
unique to you
unique to what it is that you like the most
and as you watch them blinking
you find yoruself slipping back
back to a time when you found this time of year
to be simply...
magical
a time when blinking lights was enough to make you smile widely
and be filled with excitement.
it doesn't matter if that was hours ago, or years ago
you can find that feeling flowing through your body
excitement and wonder
a calm, happieness
that just seems to fill you
as you watch the lights.
a warmth growing in your hearts
in your body
as you simply watch the lights
and breathe slowly
and easily.
you find yourself feeling
peaceful
and calm
which is what this season is all about
the abilty to let go
let go of all the things that keep us from relaxing
our lives are all stressful
but something about this season
helps us to just let go.
it can be a busy time, filled with many tasks
but if you remember
now...
to simply stop
and watch the lights
and let them blink
slowly and easily
and allow yourself to connect
connect with that special feeling
that is unique to you
that special feeling of christmas
you'll find that the more you look
the more you watch them blink
the more you simply find yoruself
focusing on that warmth
the calm, peaceful happiness
deep in your body
you may even feel it
in your chest
or your stomach
a warmth
a peace
and the more you watch
the more you allow that feeling to be there
the more it will grow
and move through your body
through your mind
through your soul
allowing you to let go of all the things
that you held in all year long
and to just...
relax
and feel that peace
that calm
move through you now.


and as you watch the tree's blinking
in their own special way
the way that is special to you
I want you to imagine yourself...
in the near future...
going about your life
in this holiday season
and i wnat you to realize
that every time you see a blinking light
be it on a tree
or a wreath
or a bush.
aor a house
that you'll be reminded
of that warm feeling deep inside of you
that peace that comes from this time of year
a peace that can be easily forgotten
but this year...
and every year
the lights will remind you of that peace
and you'll be able to feel that special warmth
deep inside you
and let it flow
let it move through your body
through your mind
through your soul
let it help you to relax
and remind you to slow down
and to focus, on the things that really matter
the things that matter to you...
your loved ones
and those very special relationships
with friends
and family
the people in your life
that make it special
it wont' matter what you are doing when you see the lights
maybe you'll be shopping.
or with family.
or simply relaxing at home in front of your tree
the lights will remind you
to take a moment
to simply breathe
and relax
to enjoy this special season
and all it has to offer.
and to focus on what you...
need the most in your life
and to remind yourself that it's ok
to do things for yourself
it's ok to take time...
for you, and what you need in your life.
the more we let yourselves relax, and recharge
the more we can be there for the people that need us
and for the people that we want to spend time with
and now, is your time
to just relax..
for yourself
and whether you spent a second
or an hour
simply relaxing in the lights
and remembering their wonderful
warming glow
you'll find that you feel
so much more calm
adn relaxed
that you can't help but smile
and spread the warmth and cheer
even if it's simply sending a friend a text to say
Hello


you'll find that more time you take.
for yourself...
and to just simply breathe
and relax
and watch the lights
that the more the warmth will grow
in your body
in your mind
and in your soul
and the more you'll be able to spread that warmth
and to carry ti with you
through the season
and into the new year.
and beyond.
a warmth that you can share
with a simple smile
and a wave.
a warmth that only grows with time
and helps you to feel
peace
...
and now
I'd like you to just watch the lights
on yoru special tree
for just a little while
maybe you decide to look around at other trees
and just enjoy the different patterns
and styles
that people can use to make trees glow
but just let the warmth build
and fill you
every part of you
and when you decide you are ready to wake up
simply let yourself take a deep
slow breathe
and awaken
feeling that warmth inside of you
that peace and calm
that you will carry through the season
and share with your friends
and family
and the people around you.
but until your ready to wake up
simply enjoy the simple glow
and pleasure
of the lights
blinking slowly and easily
for as long as you would like
now.
