Exercise 6

•
Cocoon of Relaxation
Take a moment to stretch and then find a comfortable position—you may
lie down if you feel drawn to. Focus on your breath. Breathe deeply, slowly,
and rhythmically. Don’t struggle. Find a pace that is comfortable for you.
With each inhalation, visualize yourself drawing in a calming energy of
peace. With each exhalation imagine yourself blowing any stress or tension
out of your body. The stress begins to fly away like dandelion seeds in the
wind, floating away and bringing you more and more clarity.
Visualize an orb of light at your feet. The sphere is a very calm white and
light mint color. It has a quality to it which is airy, icy, hot, and tingly. It is
deeply soothing and healing. Anywhere it touches completely relaxes with
your will.
Begin moving the orb upward to your shoulders, relaxing every muscle
that it touches—front and back. When it gets to your shoulders, move the
globe down each arm and hand—relaxing every muscle that it reaches.
Draw the orb up your neck to your face—resting your eyes, your jaw, your
facial muscles.
Listen to your body—where is there any discomfort, tension, or pain?
Bring the orb to this area and as you draw in your breath, visualize your
breath filling this area. Affirm that your body relaxes with your intentions.
Bring the orb back to your feet where it becomes a blanket of energy.
Begin pulling this blanket up and around your body in your Witch Eye—
like a cocoon of relaxation. When you are completely covered in your
relaxation cocoon, visualize it beginning to melt and soak into your skin,
deep throughout your muscles, into your nerves, and into your bones—
giving you an even broader sense of relaxation.
