Beach 1 Induction

Alright now. Close your eyes. Focus on relaxing your body and putting your mind at ease. Take a deep breath. Filling your lungs with air… very slowly. Very good. Now open your mouth just a little bit and slowly let the air out of your lungs. You feel yourself relax. Now again, inhale deeply, expanding your chest very slowly. Hold it here. And slowly breathe out, relaxing even more with every second you push the air out.

Now you are going to go to a place that helps you relax even more. You will be more relaxed than you ever have before. You are on a beach. As you stand on the beach, your senses come alive and you notice every detail around you. You look at the white sandy beach to your left and right, it seems to go on forever in both directions. You look out at the water. There are little waves coming toward you. Look at the color of the water; it is brilliant blue.

The induction runs three pages; its deepening follows on page 47.
