The Induction

In this poem
	I'd like to alter your
consciousness 	and help
you to begin
to find
	a greater sense of
re -     lax -   a   -   tion
and you will be able to return
          to this place or state
of mind
	and this poem
whenever you need
to do so.

And each time
you repeat this
you'll go deeper
and deeper
in relaxation.

Now begin
with a a few deep breathes
and as you do,
with your eyes closed,
imagine or pretend
	you are walking
along a wooded path...

approaching a safe
and comfortable place -
	your place.

You've reached
a clearing
overlooking a town
below...
you notice
		the sounds
here
and the sensation
              of the air
against
your face...

You notice
	whatever it is
that is most pleasant
about this experience
and whatever it is
that is most
helpful
in creating
a feeling
of relaxation.

And you begin
to wonder
and imagine
what other
pleasant things
may await
your
discovery.
