Welcome to the "Hypnotic Safari"

Relax...Imagine: you're in a jungle and about to Embark; on a soothing journey Feel...the spirit of the wildlife, hear God's creatures as they move Within the maze of their environment Imagine...how Noah might have felt as he guided our world's Beautiful animals into his arc. See...the vivid colors of the egrets, macaws, lovebirds, and giraffe, The rhino, elephant, zebra, gazelle, and jaguar, The flamingo, the lion, red-eyed tree frog, and scarlet ibis as they meander in their environs Touch...the sunrise...the sunset...the sky...the moon...the stars! Smell...the blossoming flora; the morning dew; as it glistens on the forest floor Taste...the fresh cool running water from the babbling brook Or stream, cascasding over a crystal-like waterfall. Imagine yourself as one with nature! Run... with the Jaguar, graze with the gazelle, drink with the macaw, fly with the ibis, Sing... with the lovebirds, jump with a tree frog, hang out with the lions Listen...as the mood and music takes you into a relaxed state. Let the many textures and layers of the different guitar tones and styles represent the character; and hierarcy of the wildlife kingdom. Leave... the confines of your daily stress behind! Let your imagination and senses be your guide...
