Gentle water sounds, keyboard and flute provide a backdrop for the narration of refreshing images, affirmations, progressive relaxation, and conscious breathing to produce the relaxation response. 1. The Compass Within: On this inner journey we awaken an inner compass to guide us, eventually returning to the outside world refreshed and calm. The sound of waves helps one to establish a regular breathing rhythm and follow the imagery that encourages the development of a body memory for peacefulness that one can retrieve. 2.Breathing Freely & Kalamalka Colors: A mountain stream flowing into a lake provide the gentle backdrop for an initial short relaxation with the focus on the breath, leading into a longer relaxation. There is a certain light heartedness to the relaxation, inviting us to place our burdens in a safe container, allowing the imagination of a child with the sensations of floating. A rainbow of colors leads one into the image of a beach with tall cotton woods, willows and the beauty of nature.
