Take deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth as you listen to the sound of my voice. (Three second pause.) I want you to picture yourself lying on a towel on a soft sandy beach. (Three second pause.) You can see a palm trees swaying in the wind beneath a bright blue sky with a few white puffy clouds. (Three second pause.) You can feel the sand between your toes, the warm sunlight on your skin and a cool breeze. (Three second pause) You can smell coconut lotion in the breeze. (Three second pause.) You can hear the sound of waves gently crashing on the beach and seagulls crying in the distance. **End of vignette**
