Breathing in, I go back
To the island within myself.
There are beautiful trees
Within the island.
There are clear streams
Of water, there are birds,
Sunshine and fresh air…
Breathing out, I feel safe.
I enjoy going back to my island.

Breathing in, I go back
To the ocean within myself.
There are dolphins and whales
Within the ocean.
there are strong tide
and currents there are shells
starfish seaweed
Breathing out, I feel joy
I enjoy going back to my ocean.

Breathing in, I go back
To the mountain within myself.
There are cliffs and waterfalls
Within the mountain.
There is deep solid rock
crystals and gems
sparkling caves and high peaks
Breathing out, I feel strange
I enjoy going back to my mountain.

Breathing in, I go back
to the bluesky within myself.
There are full moon and planets
within the big bluesky
there are wise owls and eagles
there are Sun
rainbows graceful bird
Breathing out, I feel peace
I enjoy going back to my bluesky.
