Ian began to imagine the gentle breezes coming from the sea toward his home in Northern Scotland. He saw his mum lay out a fresh platter of chocolate chip biscuits to cool on the table and his mum's gentle smiles as he recounted the events of his time at sea with his dad. He could feel the smile across his face imagining home. This didn't help him clear his mind, but it certainly made him more comfortable.

Finally, he focused himself on his breathing again to clear his mind. He opened his eyes and looked at the ball. He tried to remember the things on the note that helped him to understand the process. He started to see a small yellow mist swirling in the ball. He resisted the urge to reach out and pick up the ball and shake it to make the mist swirl more. As soon as he had the thought to pick up the ball, the yellow mist disappeared. Ian's shoulder's slumped and he considered not trying again, but he needed to continue this so he could finish his assignment. He started his breathing exercise again and decided this time to add body relaxations techniques.
