Find somewhere quiet and comfortable.
Now, close your eyes, and allow your
breathing to slow and deepen for a
couple of minutes.
Then make a picture in your mind of a hamster
running around inside a metal wheel in its
cage.
Just like your racing thoughts, the hamster
can't stop running on the spot.
Watch him for awhile and note how all this
frantic running gets him nowhere.
Notice that you can't even see the rungs of
his wheel because he is running so quickly.
Then visualize the wheel slowing to a walking
pace.
Slower and slower the hamster walks until
the wheel stops turning round...
You can see each rung of the wheel in detail
now.
The hamster is still inside his wheel, but he
has turned over onto his back, closed his
eyes, and is using the wheel as a hammock,
rocking gently backwards and forwards,
backwards and forwards.
Each time an outside thought intrudes into
your head, bring your attention back to the
gentle rocking of the wheel, backwards and
forwards.
After a while, the rocking stops and the
hamster is asleep...
And you are relaxed and stress-free!
