How it works
-
Get comfortable, sit or lie down, and close your eyes. Imagine you are at a beautiful beach. The sun is shining, and the sky is blue. Take a deep breath and feel the warm, salty sea air in your nose. Breathe out slowly.
-
The sand is soft and warm under your feet. You hear the sound of the waves gently rolling onto the shore. Breathe in and out deeply, and feel how calm you become.
-
You see colorful shells and sparkling stones in the sand. You collect a few that you like. Breathe in and out deeply as you continue walking.
-
At the shore, you discover a hammock between two palm trees. You lie down in it and feel the gentle breeze on your skin. Breathe in and out deeply, and enjoy the swaying of the hammock.
-
You look up at the sky and watch the clouds slowly drift by. Breathe in and out deeply, and feel how relaxed and happy you are.
-
After a while, you stand up and walk back to the beach. Breathe in and out deeply, and feel the sand give way under your feet. You are now ready to open your eyes and focus again on the world around you.
-
Once you have opened your eyes, stretch and feel how good it feels. Take a moment to talk together about your journey at the sea. This way, you can carry the good feeling from the story into your everyday life.
