Please find yourself in a comfortable position.
Allow yourself to start drawing your attention inwards.
Start to focus on the expansion of your breath as you inhale and the softening as you exhale.
Notice your connection with the air that enters through you and gently enters your body.
The rise and the fall of each breath.
Now feel the moisture in your mouth and consider all of the water that is in your body.
Feeling the moisture,
The flow,
And now notice the solidness of what you're sitting on.
The stability of the earth.
Now pay attention to the heat that runs through your organs inside.
The heat of this fire.
Feel gratitude for the harmony of all of these elements that tune into your body.
Now I would like you to imagine that you write down all of your worries in your mind on a giant post-it note.
Pin this note somewhere in your brain so you can attend to all of these things later.
For now this is your time for healing.
The deeper you relax,
The more profound the healing.
So your to-do list can all wait.
Your health and relaxation is all that matters right now.
And as I count down to one from five,
You will feel yourself drift deeper into relaxation.
Five,
Drift deeper and deeper,
Giving yourself permission to relax.
Four,
Let your whole body know that you are ready.
Allow the softness and the stillness behind your eyelids.
Three,
Say to yourself,
Peace be with me.
See these words running through.
Peace be with me.
You may notice flickers of light.
Just allow these colors to take you deeper and deeper.
Two,
You have nowhere to go now.
You are in charge of the relaxation.
And now even your mind starts to relax.
You are doing very good.
And one,
Sinking,
Drifting,
Floating deeper.
Any sounds from the outside world you hear now will not matter.
They will just bring you deeper.
The only thing that matters now is your relaxation and the sound of my voice as you drift deeper and deeper.
You find yourself underneath a brilliant star light.
A healing beam of light shines out from this star.
Please allow this light to enter through the top of your head.
And notice how it washes over your skull and this healing starlight washes over your eyes,
Your cheeks,
And nose,
And all of these areas of your face begin to relax even more.
This starlight pours over your mouth and your jaw and locks,
Dropping your chin down towards your chest.
And this light enters your neck.
It surrounds all the muscles in your neck with this bright healing light.
Imagine this light enters every fiber and small bone in your neck.
All of the membranes and veins get filled with this healing light.
So now your neck feels softer.
The tension feels softer.
This light now turns a shade of blue,
A healing vibrant blue,
Like the color of the sky.
Maybe the bright blue of a cloudless sky or a dark midnight blue of the sky.
Whatever the shade of blue is,
Imagine this color permeating every cell in your neck.
Feel the tingling and release of all of the tightness in your neck.
As you continue to breathe deeply and feel the tingling,
All of the tension melts away like butter on a hot pan.
These lumps of tightness just run off and trickle down out of your neck,
Transmuted by this light and this blue color washing over it.
Now I'd like you to imagine you can breathe through your neck.
Yes,
As if you have the ability to breathe into your neck and allow the softness of breeze to just go right through it and let the air take away the heaviness.
As if you had nostrils in your neck that could inhale and exhale the air right through you.
Feel the wind pass through your neck,
Carrying away all its tension with it,
Inhaling in through the neck,
Exhaling out all the tension.
Just imagine the tension disintegrating like little particles outside.
The breeze will take it away.
Continue to inhale and exhale right through your neck.
Surrender this tension you've held on to for so long.
You don't need it anymore.
It's not yours.
It may have been there to keep you safe,
But now it's no longer necessary to keep.
Blow out the tension out of your neck.
Imagine with the exhale you can just give it to the wind.
The wind will know what to do with it and transmute this heaviness with ease.
Notice how your neck feels even lighter now.
Do your best to visualize this blue color inside of your neck.
This blue color running through every muscle and fiber as it heals your neck,
Softens your neck.
Notice how the top of your head grows up as if your neck has already grown longer.
Continue to breathe with your neck,
Inhaling as if there's nostrils in your neck.
Exhale out,
Visualizing this blue color and light moving through the skin and the fibers.
This cleansing light aligns the vertebrae just below your head and your neck,
Aligning every disc.
Visualize this blue color in the back of your neck like a small waterfall just trickling down and cleansing every fiber.
Now imagine this waterfall in the back of your neck moving down to your shoulders and cascading on the top of your shoulders off,
Washing away all of the tension.
This light and blue color move down to your shoulders.
Imagine every fiber and muscle is relaxed.
All the tension that was stored there begins to melt away from this healing light.
And as I count from one to three,
Allow this light to enter in and bring you into even deeper relaxation.
One,
Feel the sides of your neck soften.
Two,
Allow yourself to drift deeper and deeper now.
Three,
Sinking,
Drifting even deeper now.
Good.
You feel your shoulders drop and the sides of your neck grow even longer as the light travels down the top of the shoulders,
Relaxing every bone,
Every fiber,
All of the knots built up from years of working.
All of the knots in the muscles just melt like a lump of butter on a hot stove.
Feel the knots melt and feel your muscles lengthen.
This blue color harmonizes every cell and the light is invited into your veins that run through your shoulders and carries this healing light to every cell,
Relaxing every fiber in the back of your neck and the back of your shoulders as this healing blue light enters every part of your shoulders.
The upper part of your back has blue water being poured over it and you imagine this blue healing water seeps through your skin as it's poured over your shoulders and washes away all of the pain and stiffness.
Just allow the stiffness to turn into sweetness,
The sweetness of your strength and your integrity.
You know longer need to prove your strength.
You've held on to the stiffness for long enough now.
You've held on to that tightness for too long,
So now allow this gentle cleansing to wash away from the inside of every muscle and fiber.
Visualize this water being poured over and disintegrate all the knots,
Wiping clean the muscles smooth.
Now your shoulders drop even further away from your ears.
Feel the vertebrae align in between your shoulder blades and your shoulder blades become washed over with this healing light as well,
Leaving the muscles smooth.
This healing blue washes over all of the knots,
Making the knots so small until they disappear just like the moss on the top of the river rocks.
It all just runs smooth and notice how your shoulders feel so much lighter as if this weight and dirt and gunk has been lifted off of them.
Notice how you can move your shoulders in circles with so much ease now.
Don't take my word for it.
Move your shoulders in circles and feel the lightness and the fluidity.
Now we will integrate this healing.
Claim this healing for yourself.
Accept this new lightness of being into your neck and shoulders.
This healing blue color,
This ability to imagine the breath going through your neck,
To reclaim the lightness,
Allow the softness and give permission to the air to carry away all of that heaviness.
As I count from one to five,
You will return to normal breathing.
One,
All the body processes return to normal.
Two,
Coming back to this world.
Three,
Integrate all of this healing.
Make it true and real.
It is true and real for you.
Four,
Feeling refreshed as if you just had a great massage.
And five,
Welcome back.
