Feel the seat underneath you.

Feel yourself sinking down into it...

enfolding you...

It's a nice feeling.

What you feel is a pleasant warmth...

and heaviness.

Your breath is deep...

Regular... easing.

Now...

Imagine you're at Eden.

Imagine you arrived

at Eden through the woods.

Tell me what you see.

I'm at the bridge.

It's evening.

Almost no birds can be heard.

The water is running without a sound.

Darkness comes out anytime here.

I walk into it.

The little deers... are hiding,

among the ferns. As usual.

Is it difficult to walk there?

No. Not really.

In fact, it's almost okay.

In among the trees,

on the slope,

there's a? foxhole.

How do you feel there?

I can't really tell.

It should be easy, passing.

And yet,

it's like walking through mud.

The trunk is thick.

The tree rots so slowly.

It has some strange kind of personality.

I've always found that.

Now...

Where are you, are you,

are you heading for the cabin?

Yes, I am.

I'm walking up the path

through the tall grass.

Then don't go in.

Don't go in.

It's the outside you're afraid of.

Don't look around.

No.

Lie down on the green.

You want me to lie down?

Lie down on the grass.

On top of all the plants?

Yes, lie down on the plants.

Are you lying down?

Yes.

Good.

What is everything like around you?

Green.

It's all very green.

Good.

Now will you do what I ask you?

Yes.

What do you want me to do?

I want you...

to melt into the green.

Don't fight it.

Just - turn - green.

No matter what happens:

You were there. You did it.

Let fear come, if it likes.

Remember:
what the mind can

conceive and believe, it can achieve.

What's wrong?

Ground is burning.

The ground is not burning.

Gotta go.

I want to lie down, just for a minute.

Sure.

Yeah, we'll take a rest.

Shouldn't we go home?

Yeah.

Yeah, we should.

Slowly...

Stay with it.

I know it hurts.

Stay! Stay in there!

It's just the stupid acorns.

What are you doing?

I'm just...

setting up a little exercise.

It's... it's like a...

It's like a game.

You cheated me yesterday.

Running is not good.

You have to really feel the grass.

I want you to go from this stone...

to this stone.

Pretty scary, huh?

You're ready?

Yeah.

I'll give you a ride.

I'll put you on the first stone.

Stay with me.

Here we go.

Now put your foot down. I got you.

I got you. I'm right here.

I can't do this.

Yes, you can.

You can and you will. Just like I will.

We're gonna walk together.

We're gonna walk together, okay? Now...

Alright now, breathe.

Let's step off the rock.

And step on that grass.

Step down.

See? What happened?

Keep breathing. Keep, keep breathing.

I've got you.

You're really doing great.
