Thank you for joining me in this session.
Please make yourself comfortable either sitting up or lying down,
Legs and feet uncrossed and hands resting loosely on your lap.
And allow my voice to start to guide you down into deep relaxation.
So allow your eyes to gently close and as you do just notice what you see behind those closed eyelids.
Perhaps it's just a black velvet curtain,
Maybe colors or shapes or maybe nothing at all.
It really doesn't matter.
And notice how your muscles are now just starting to relax.
With every breath you take and with every breath you can start to relax deeper and deeper.
And I wonder if you've noticed yet that when you breathe in you can feel the cool air through your nostrils.
And as you breathe out you can feel warm air through your nostrils.
As you begin to breathe more deeply now you'll find yourself relaxing more and as with each word I speak you will find yourself starting to drift deeper and deeper.
And just notice now your hands.
I mean you know how they feel.
Maybe they feel heavy or light.
Warm as you relax deeper and deeper still and focus now on the relaxing music and allow that music to take you even deeper.
And as I begin to count now from one to ten you'll find yourself relaxing deeper and deeper.
With each number that I count and with each word that I speak.
And at the same time you can let your mind wander.
Just let it wander wherever it chooses to wander.
Allow any thoughts that come into your mind to just drift away as you breathe in.
Relaxing now.
The sound of my voice will keep you safe at all times.
Two.
Going deeper and deeper.
And you can imagine yourself just drifting deeper and deeper.
Nobody wants anything.
Nobody needs anything.
The only sensations you experience now are pleasant ones.
Three.
The only thing you're interested in now is the warm comforting sound of my voice.
Feeling very,
Very calm.
The sound of my voice will keep you safe.
Very peaceful.
Very relaxed.
Five.
Comfort begins to wrap around you.
A blanket of comfort wrapping around you from your head all the way down to your toes.
Six.
Just allow yourself to drift deeper and deeper.
Drifting deeper down.
Relaxing.
Seven.
And as my voice echoes through the subconscious part of your mind.
Soothing.
And very.
Just focusing on the warm comforting voice.
Eight.
Relaxing deeper.
Simply imagine yourself drifting deeper and deeper.
Deeper down.
Where the only sensations you can experience are pleasant ones.
Very peaceful now.
The comforting sound of my voice takes you down to that next level.
Of peace and tranquility.
And enjoy this feeling.
Feeling very calm.
And so peaceful.
So peaceful.
And as you continue now.
Drifting deeper and deeper.
With each gentle breath you take.
I'd like you to imagine yourself in a beautiful garden.
A place of tranquility and peace.
Here,
You are very safe and secure and all around is nature's beauty and colors.
Flowers and shrubs.
Tall trees that provide cooling shade from the rays of the sun.
That filter down through the leaves and the branches of these magnificent ancient trees.
And a little way off,
Just through an archway covered with sweet-smelling honeysuckle.
There is a wonderful water feature.
The water sparkles in the sunlight.
Cascading over rocks into a large pool below that is filled with water lilies.
Fish swim in this pool.
And now one breaks the surface to feed.
Catching an unwary insect.
And you can find it so easy to just relax here.
To let go completely of cares and concerns.
Drifting with these thoughts that change as the world changes.
And you continue to relax here.
A soft green lawn.
The grass cools against your skin.
And you can recognize how this is really a special place.
A healing place.
A place where so many before you have come to enjoy the peace and harmony.
And I want you now to just relax.
Continue to drift and to dream.
That you wait for your healer to come.
And I wonder now if you can hear a voice calling to you.
Calling your name.
The sound coming nearer.
Soothing.
This is your healer.
Moving close to you now.
A creation of light.
A person of infinite wisdom.
Sent to you down from the power that transcends all.
And you feel that power now.
A gentle,
Warming sensation that flows through your body.
Spreading down from the top of your head.
A growing feeling of well-being.
Moving through every cell,
Every muscle,
Every fiber of your being.
Calming your mind.
And you can feel that healing at work now.
Stimulating your own natural healing.
Your natural healing forces within to do their very best for you now.
Seeking out those discomforts.
Soothing.
Relaxing.
Encouraging blood flow.
Carrying vital oxygen and nutrients.
Through your whole system.
Every organ richly supplied.
Your body's defense system moving to seek out all intrusions.
Regenerating.
Purifying.
Your healing continues.
Concentrating on those parts which need that healing attention.
Spreading warmth.
That glowing sensation of oneness with the universe.
The glowing,
Spreading sensation that cocoons you now.
Enveloping you entirely in its healing light and influence.
You hear comforting words deep within your own inner mind.
As your own personal and wise inner self absorbs that concentration of positive power.
Increasing feelings of self-worth.
Of confidence.
Of your own ability to continue this work.
This healing.
Relaxing in this special way.
Allowing that healing to continue.
Enjoying that healing.
As you now drift and relax into a healing and restful sleep.
Allowing those healing forces to work as you ease into deep,
Restful sleep.
Good night.
