During hypnosis or in counseling, relaxation techniques are often used. These techniques include envisioning a place of peace or of rest.
What do you think of when someone suggests you imagine your most peaceful place? Is it a sun-dappled forest, a green meadow with a sparkling brook singing nearby, or a snow-covered mountainside? My love of the sun demands that I include a hot sun beating down, a sandy beach, and to make the picture complete – a good book that holds my interest.
Since I live in the Midwest, it isn’t often I am able to experience my dream environment in a real sense. Instead I have resorted to creating a cozy reading nook in the sunniest corner of my home. You may want to designate a place in your home that has all the comforts of a beach cabana, too. Consider grouping these items in a sunny spot:
A comfy chair with an ottoman, or a couch to curl up on
Task lighting for when the sun is behind the clouds (much of the time where I live.)
A small table or end table to set a drink on.
A bookshelf or decorative bin to hold reading material.
Cozy throw or small blanket.
The only problem with getting all cozy is that you may become so relaxed that you end up reading the inside of your eyelids! That may be just what the doctor ordered.
