I am standing alone in a forest at night.
I begin to hear the soft sound of raindrops on leaves.
I hear crickets off in the distance.
Cicadas begin to join in with the crickets.
My light keeps me safe and warm and dry.
The song of the insects soothes me.
I find a place to sit on a warm dry rock protected by a fallen log that forms a sort of shelter.
As I sit on the log, I close my eyes and allow the song of the insects to wash over me.
Their song is peaceful.
Their song is calming.
As I listen to the insects sing and the rain fall around me,
I begin to feel my muscles relaxing.
All the stress of the day begins to fade away.
Nothing can upset me here in this place.
This is my place.
As I sit, I hear distant thunder as a storm approaches.
I can see the sky lighting up with the lightning and I know that I am safe.
Here in this place, with my light around me and the insects singing, I cannot be harmed.
This thought eases the muscles in my head and in my face.
Like a warm blanket, the warmth of the light around me and the song of the insects wraps around me.
The muscles of my neck begin to relax and all the pain and discomfort fades away.
I can feel my shoulders starting to relax now as the thunderstorm closes in.
My back and chest begin to relax. All the stress is easing away.
All of the tightness and tension in my lower back and abdomen eases and fades.
My hips and legs become heavier and more relaxed.
The sounds wash over me like gentle waves and I feel my ankles slowly relax.
The backs of my feet and down into my arches and the tops of my feet and even my toes relax now.
My whole body is completely relaxed and all that I can feel or sense is the soft sounds of the insects and the rain and the thunderstorm in the distance.
