Close your eyes and think of  a beautiful place you’d wish to be.  Imagine yourself there. Smile as you connect with the inner self. Keep the picture of serenity and peace alive in your mind. Make this picture part of you.

While still in this state of total peace,  become conscious of your breathing. Let yourself almost smile as you picture this place in your mind.
While still picturing your beautiful place, be aware of your breathing.

Breathe in slowly then let it out

Repeat this process with the picture still in your mind. 

Take a walk in the place you’ve imagined yourself in. It may be an attractive park or along a gentle stream. Keep walking as you think only about happiness and glory.
