I calm myself

Take another breath in gently though your nose, then gently breathe out. Observe your body. ill now change how you see it in your mind. Imagine it as one compact mass of different colours. Examine the colours in various parts of your body. What are they? Where are they? First examine your head. Which colour is ‘in’ or around your head? (pause 3 sec) If you ‘see’ any dark colours or smoke, take note of where that is. Are they in your head or on top of your head or around your head? Note this. (pause 5 sec) Imagine there is a hatch at the top of your head, and open it. (pause 2 sec) Now if there is any greyness or darkness and let it go out through the open hatch.

you expelled. Do this three times. (pause 4 sec) See your body now clean and free of any dark
colours. Feel the calmness. Make sure the hatch at the top of your head is ‘closed.’ (pause 2 sec)
Gently focus on your feet again. Now slowly bring your awareness to this room. Feel your
feet on the ground. Feel your roots deep in the ground. As you keep focus on your feet, bring
your awareness to this room now fully. Become aware of the chair underneath your body.
Listen for the sounds around you. Bring your mind back to your feet. Where are they? Can you
feel them? Gently wiggle your toes. Feel the full sensation of the floor beneath your feet. Slightly
press them on the floor. Wiggle your fingers and rub your palms. Move your shoulders. Take a
