Hello and thanks for joining me.
On this guided visualization of theenchanting region of Scun in Denmark,

(01:10):
the North Sea meets the Baltic Sea.
Imagine this area where the two seas meet.
The North Sea has a Turo blue color dueto its colder, denser, and saltier waters.
(01:35):
While the Baltic Sea has adeep, dark blue color due to its
warmer and less starline waters.
There's a visual and physicalbarrier between the two Cs here
because they don't mix due to thedifference in their salinity levels.
(02:02):
This phenomenon creates a dynamic andever shifting boundary between the two Cs.
Before we begin the visualization,find a place you feel most comfortable.

Perhaps your bed,
a favorite chair, or even onthe floor with a cozy pillow.
Once you've found yourcomfortable place, close your eyes

and take a slow, deep breath in.
Halt it for a couple of seconds.
And then exhale,
letting go of any tensionor stress in your body,
(03:16):
allow yourself to relax completely,feeling the weight of your body
sinking into your cozy spot.
Take a few moments tobreathe deeply like this.
And imagine yourself releasingany negative thoughts or worries
(03:39):
that may be weighing you down.
Allow them to fade away with each exhale.

Focus your attention solelyon the present moment
and the peacefulness you'recultivating for yourself.

up haphazardly beside the shack.
(10:40):

Tides of the nearby sea.
