Hold that breath for a moment, then slowly exhale through your mouth, letting go of any tension you're holding.

Take another deep breath, feeling the refreshing coolness of the air fill your lungs. As you exhale, release any distractions that might be lingering.

Allow your breath to settle into a calming rhythm as you prepare for this tranquil journey.

Visualizing the Autumn Landscape

Picture yourself standing at the edge of a peaceful forest. The surrounding trees are dressed in a vibrant palette of gold, crimson, and burnt orange.

As you take a moment to observe, notice how sunlight filters through the leaves, casting a golden glow on the ground.
