Air/Wind Guided Visualization Activity
Sit in a comfortable spot outdoors. Close your eyes and take some deep relaxing breaths. Feel
the air as it fills your lungs and as it leaves your body. Feel the air that has left your body gently
surrounding you and lifting you up.
You can't see it, but you know the air is supporting you, because you feel it's gentle strength
around you. Let this force carry you wherever you want to go. You have always wanted to
journey to this place. Feel the air become suddenly cool- then just as quickly, warm air replaces
the cool air. You are tossed around by the change in temperature, but you remain calm. You
feel at ease and comforted by the freeness of floating. You feel yourself descending. As your
journey ends, take a deep breath and you will land effortlessly and safely.
Reflect and Write What were your feelings? Where did you go?
