Greetings!
Most of my clients have a very stressful work
environment. One of the first tools I implement
in their program is for stress management. My client
agrees to allow me to walk them through a guided
imagery journey designed for stress management. I
would like to offer that process to you.

Keeping Your Cool with Stress Management
Leadership Training 101
You will need a creative partner who reads and tells a
story with great passion and emotion. Also find a
quiet room that you can darken. Now, sit in a
comfortable position. Close your eyes and have your
partner begin reading and allow the process to flow
through you.
You always have control and can open your eyes at
any time. The reader must relax and read slowly.
<b>Note to the reader: Notice where I
have placed pauses. Watch the person's body
language. Do not be quick to move on, but at the
same time pausing too long will create a distraction
and could change the effectiveness of the
exercise.
I want you to close your eyes and focus on being
present and in the moment. When you are 100%
present let me know by saying "I'm here". It is best
to keep your eyes closed throughout this whole
process for the maximum experience. I will tell
you when to open your eyes at the end of the
journey. Now, I want you to take a deep
long breath and blow it out slowly. Take another
breath and this time as you blow out the air, imagine
all worries and concerns are being blown out as well.
Take one last deep breath and this time as you blow
out allow all your muscles to relax in your body.
Imagine yourself walking down a path in the
mountains. (Reader pause.) Look at how the
sun shines through the trees (Reader pause).
Feel the warmth of the sun on your face (Reader
pause). The temperature around you is just how
you like it. Look around and take in the beauty of the
flowers. Look at the butterflies as they pass in front
of you and guide you along this mountain path. Their
colors are so rich. Watch them flitter from one flower
to another as if involved in some sacred dance.
(Reader pause).
In the distance you can see a clearing. As you get
closer to the clearing you see it is a beautiful
meadow with small yellow flowers, clovers and rich
green grass. In the middle of this meadow is a large
strong oak tree with branches so low you can climb
right on it. Go to this tree.
Climb up the tree and lean back on one of the strong
supportive branches. Look around you and let the
surroundings resonate throughout your whole being.
Feel the warmth of the sun on your face. Take a
deep breath and let yourself feel at peace. Now, I
would like you to touch a place on your body and
every time you touch this place when you are
stressed you will be right here in this tree and feeling
this unexplainable peace. Do that now
(Reader pause) .
Now, come down out of the tree. I want you to look
around and take in all of the meadow's beauty. Now,
start back down the mountain path and once again
observe the sun shining through the trees. See the
sacred dance of the butterflies with their rich colors
flittering in front of you. Feel the warmth of the sun
on your face. (Reader pause) . You are
where we started, at the beginning of the path. I am
going to count to three and on three you can open
your eyes when you are ready. One, look around you
and remember the beauty and serenity of this place.
Two, start to feel yourself in your body. Three,
when you are 100% present, open your eyes. Now
ask the person how they feel, what was it like, and
will they do it for you?
This excercise works best when you use this tool at
least once a day for 14 days. So, make a conscious
effort when stressed to touch that spot on your body
that you chose and return to the peacefulness of the
meadow in the moment. This will go along way in
reducing your stress level and giving you better
control over yourself in tough situations. Just think
about it; in a stressful situation, you'll just need to
touch this spot and have the troubles melt away.
I recorded this journey on CD for those who would
prefer to listen to it on their own in the quiet of their
own home. If you would like to purchase this journey
