Instructions:

It can be easier to get rid of stress and worries when we give them form. You can achieve this by forming a dragon body and clearing its scales.

• Sit comfortably with your feet touching the ground and close your eyes.
• Breathe through your nose with deep inhales and exhales. While you are breathing, your tongue should be touching your palate and the back of your teeth. Take time to let your breath slow down and your body relax.
• When you are ready, turn your attention to the spot 2 cm below your belly button. Start imagining that white energy is slowly coming out from that spot and taking the shape of a dragon. This is your spiritual body. Observe scales appearing on the dragon's body and spikes along the spine.
• Imagine that the dragon's scales look very cloudy and dirty because they contain your stress and worries. Observe them from all angles and get ready to clean them.
• As you breathe in, you gather some of that cloudiness, and as you breathe out, you push out that cloudiness in the form of smoke that starts coming out from your spikes. This smoke contains all your worries, and now you are releasing them from your body and your mind. Every time you breathe out, more and more smoke is coming out of your spikes and your scales are becoming shinier and shinier. Continue visualizing the same process of cleaning your scales until they are so clean that they reflect your surroundings.
• You are now in accordance with nature. Stay in this shape for a while and connect with your inner dragon. Try to feel the connection to your surroundings - you can fly, run, or breathe fire.
• With your next breath, your dragon body will slowly start turning back into shapeless energy. Imagine it entering your physical body through the spot 2 cm below your belly button.
• As your spiritual and physical bodies join, you may feel a wave of fresh energy washing over you. Stay in that moment for a while and then gently bring your attention to your fingers and toes, move them a bit, and when you are ready, slowly open your eyes. Remember that you can always come back to your dragon body, whenever you need it.

Advice:

If you cannot focus on visualization, try to accept it, and keep on breathing, consciously releasing the stress. The ability to visualize usually improves with regular practice, so give it a try a few times.
