Treehouse Relaxation Script

1.  Get your body comfortable and gently close your eyes.

2.  Slowly take three deep breaths, in through your nose and our through your mouth.

4.  Now relax your tummy, chest, and shoulders.  Imagine this wave of blue light sweeping through and relaxing this area for you.

5.  Pay attention to your arms and fingers, allow the blue light to move through.  Feel how relaxed you are.

11.  Inside the treehouse, imagine anything that makes you feel good to think about.  Place pillows, waterfalls, plants, trees, birds, pictures of mountains, anything that you would like that you feel good when you think about it.  Go ahead and design the inside of your treehouse now.
