Guided Imagery--ETMA Program Done

ETMA Program Done

So let’s begin the Guided Imagery. Now, loosen up yourself. Your body gets loosened. You may put your hands on your thighs. Be aware of not getting your legs crossed. Sit back and relax. Now, I want you to focus, focus and focus on anything in front of you. Good. Take a nice long breath, fill up your lungs, real good, breathe all the way in, and hold it for a second. Now breathe out slowly through your mouth. Breathe in again nicely and breathe out. Breathe in and breathe out. Now, close your eyes down and concentrate on going into a deep level of relaxation. Let a wonderful wave of relaxation flow through your entire body. Let your body, soul and mind rest peacefully.

Picture in your mind a big, important event that happens to you—you are finished with your master dissertation, and passed your oral defense. “Congratulations!!!” exclaimed your adviser, committee members and your ETMA classmates. You shook hands with each of them who are present. You were so much overwhelmed by such an exciting moment that you couldn’t stop shouting, “I made it! I made it!” Even you heart leaped. You took up your dissertation and looked at it over and over again. You felt very satisfied with it. You thought it’s the most excellent academic thesis in the field of TESOL. You are done with ETMA program! You took a deep breath and were ready to pack your bags going down from Chi-tao building to anywhere you want. Now, I have to leave you. You may go visit other teachers, take a last glimpse of NCCU campus, or do whatever you wish.
(Pause 3 minutes)

Now, it is time to bring yourself back to full awareness. In a moment I will count to five. At the moment five, your eyes open, you are fully awake and feeling great. One, two, three, four, and five. Eyes open, feeling excellently good.
