Blanket Meditation

Sit comfortably on a chair with your back upright and your feet on the floor. Begin by taking several deep breaths, letting your body relax with every breath.

Envisage a big thick blanket being wrapped snugly around your entire body. Imagine a colour and texture for the blanket that is right for you at this time. Let yourself enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings as it envelops you.

Notice the warmth penetrating your physical body, letting it go deeper and deeper into the core of your being.

Allow all your stress and anxiety to be drawn out of your body and be absorbed by the blanket, leaving your body feeling cleansed and relaxed.

When you feel all the tension has been absorbed by the blanket and your body is relaxed, envisage the blanket falling away from your body. As the blanket hits the floor, let it dissolve. You are left feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Return to waking consciousness, being fully aware of your surroundings.
