of your favorite place, real or imaginary. Perhaps, for example, you choose
a beach. In your mind’s eye, look out at the vast expanse of the blue-green
ocean, following the forward rush of foamy white wave crests. Listen to the
rumbling rhythm of the surf and feel the warm rays of the sun on your back.
Breathe in the invigorating smell of the salty air carried by the soft sea
breeze and savor the texture of wet sand between your toes. Spy a
squadron of six brown pelicans skimming just above the water, suddenly
dispersing in all directions. The largest pelican returns and dives straight
down to swallow a silver-tailed fish. Grasp a handful of sand. Hold it up to
the clear blue sky. Let it fall through your fingers, light dancing off the
crystals. Wash your hands in the undertow. Lick your fingers, tasting the
salty sea. Continue enjoying your visit to your favorite place, relishing every
delightful sensory detail.
