CONTINUED F2 Relax! GAMBLER’S HELP LINE 135 Responsible Gambling | Section F: All about you Consumer Affairs Victoria | consumer.vic.gov.au Exercise 2 – Building your peaceful place Practising relaxation can help you get better at being relaxed as you go about day. There are many ways of practising relaxation and this is just one way. In this exercise you will build for yourself a peaceful place. When you want to be relaxed, you can go to this peaceful place in your mind. It is important to only have one peaceful place at a time so that when you are feeling stressed and want to relax, you are not adding to the stress by having to decide which peaceful place you will go to! You may wish to record this so you can play it back whenever you need to. First, get into a comfortable position – a good idea is to sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor – your hands resting on your thighs. Now take a deep breath…And let it all out…And take another deep breath in, feeling it going right down to your abdomen and...this time...let out any tensions and anxieties as you breath out. Let them go. And now, softly breathe in and gently close your eyes…and as you listen to the sound of my voice, you follow along the guidance offered…knowing at all times that you are in control. Now in your mind seek and find…a relaxed place…a relaxed place that you know that you’ve been to before… and there, you had such perfect relaxation. Now in your mind… rebuild that scene…using your five senses. First of all…bring in all the sights that are around you … are you in the open?... is there green grass?… are there flowers?… is there a forest?…are you on a mountain top?… is there snow?.. or are you inside a house?… or a special place?…see what’s around you… and now recall and hear the sounds… can you hear any wind?… or ocean?... or water?. Is anybody saying anything to you?… and now you just get a sense of that place…like touching… and feeling ... and smelling … all the things that are around… and from your relaxed place. You look around… and you either get the sense of, or you see or you feel yourself being drawn to a magic pathway. It’s a pathway that’s just opening up… and leading off. Where is it leading to?… is it going up in the air?... is it going to the mountain tops?… is it going across the sea?. …is it going to another universe?…is it going through parks and gardens?…or forests?…and as you feel yourself being drawn along this magic pathway…you go...because you know…whatever is at the end of this pathway…is just so real for you…so wonderful…so magical… because it is your Peaceful Place. You are the architect…you are the builder… and you are the owner of this Peaceful Place... and every time you get to the Peaceful Place you are relaxed and stress goes. You start building your Peaceful Place by deciding on the floor… what is it made of?…is the floor in fact grass?…or is it timber?...or is it cloud?…is it air?…is it glass?...whatever it is you build it. So do that now. And now you build the walls… in the same way…you choose the material…do you have any walls?, or is it out in the open?...whatever it is you choose the material and your build it. 1800 858 858 www.problemgambling.vic.gov.au
