2. Inner vacation

Benefits: Helps find the place inside you that is calm and contented.
Setup: Sit comfortably with your spine long and your body relaxed and mindful. Close your eyes.

Step 1: Choose a place in nature that you love. It could be near the ocean, or on a mountaintop, or in a flower garden. Picture all the details about this place -- what you see, how the light is, the colors, the smells, the sounds. Notice how you feel in this place, how your body and your mind can let go and enjoy it. Breathe deeply, allowing yourself to feel safe and content. Take that feeling of safety and tranquility and install it in your body, so that it will always be there for you to return to.

Sit quietly with your eyes closed for a few breaths, noticing how you feel, and then gently open your eyes.
