Lie on your back. Close eyes. You're on a balmy tropical Beach at sunset. Coconut palms sway gently in the warm breeze. Sand is warm, soft and golden under feet. Sea is a calm beautiful blue. All you can hear is the quiet lapping of waves as they break on the seashore. Bring awareness to the blue of the sea. Notice light dancing across waves. Become aware of the sun-drenched horizon. You are aware of movement. You hear sounds and as you look out into the distance you see shapes moving, dolphins dancing amongst the waves, twisting and turning, diving under and over the waves, playing with each other, chasing and twirling up into the air. See how nimble they are. How full of life. How playful. How they invite you to come and join them. Hear their call. The high whine and the low humming sound. They are calling you to come and play with them. Suddenly you are in the warm, blue water and you sense dolphins gliding around you. You feel them welcoming you to a world filled and flowing with joy and peace. They invite you to be childlike. You feel as if you are dissolving in the blueness and you are surrounded by love and light. Suddenly you feel playful and lighter. You feel a wonder-filled sense of joy and freedom. You start playing with your new dolphin friends and dance in and out of the waves. The dolphins are smiling at you. You smile back. They call your name and remind you that you have to be on your way. It is time to go. You feel sad to be leaving, but they tell you that you can come and swim with them any time. When you feel ready become aware of the floor.

Calming.

Knees up. Blanket under knees and head.
