Good morning,
Join me for today's session where we will explore some of the most effective tools and techniques for regulating your nervous system,
Enhancing your health,
And cultivating well-being and happiness.
As you gently settle into this calming space,
We will focus on guiding your mind and body into a peaceful state,
Shaping your outlook and beliefs to help your nervous system find balance.
Together,
We'll cultivate a mindset that allows you to move gracefully through your day,
Ready for whatever comes your way,
While rewiring your brain to tap into this state more and more easily.
And please note that this is one of the four shorter sessions,
Including affirmations,
Gratitude,
Loving-kindness,
And visualizations.
You are welcome to explore the other three short sections,
Or the full track,
All of which are available on my accounts page.
Let's begin by turning our focus inward and centering ourselves with our breath.
You will take three slow breaths,
Inhaling for a count of four,
Holding for four,
And exhaling for six.
As you breathe in,
You will draw in energy and your intentions for the day.
As you breathe out,
Release anything you no longer need.
Allow your eyes to gently close now,
Feeling them grow heavy as you relax.
Take a deep breath in,
Drawing in vitality.
Exhale,
Letting go of what doesn't serve you.
Next breath,
Breathe in abundance,
Feeling gratitude.
And exhale,
Releasing anything blocking that abundance.
Finally,
Inhale optimism and compassion,
Feeling warmth surround you.
And exhale,
Letting go of anything that doesn't align with that positivity.
Now that we've activated the parasympathetic nervous system,
Let's deepen the relaxation.
Imagine floating in a warm,
Soothing hot spring,
The water cradling your body.
Feel the warmth start at the top of your head,
Melting away tension in your scalp,
Forehead,
Eyes,
And jaw.
It flows down your neck and shoulders,
Releasing tightness and making you feel light.
The warmth spreads to your arms,
Chest,
And abdomen,
Soothing your muscles as your breathing slows.
It wraps around your back,
Hips,
And legs,
Down to your feet,
Releasing any remaining tension.
Your entire body is now completely relaxed,
Floating effortlessly in the tranquil water,
Feeling peaceful,
Calm,
And deeply at ease.
Visualize this peaceful state for a moment more,
Releasing your whole body,
Relaxing every muscle.
Sink even deeper into relaxation,
Feeling your body and mind completely at ease.
You are calm,
Resilient,
And optimistic.
Any triggers today will remind you of this peaceful state and carry you with vitality,
Joy,
And compassion throughout the day.
As you continue to float,
You notice a set of stairs appearing before you,
Inviting you to move toward them with calm and peace.
As I count down from 10,
You will descend,
Becoming twice as relaxed with each step.
10 Deeper and more at ease.
7 6 Calm washes over you.
4 3 2 Tranquility deepens.
Fully relaxed,
Peaceful,
And serene.
You have gone deeper into relaxation than ever before,
And you will carry this deep sense of peace with you throughout our session.
Any sounds or thoughts you experience will only contribute to deepening your state of relaxation.
Each time you hear my voice,
It will guide you further into a sense of calm and ease,
Helping you to sink even deeper into this peaceful state.
And next,
Let's shift our focus to gratitude,
Appreciating the positive changes and abundance in your life.
Begin by bringing your awareness to your immediate environment.
Take a deep breath,
And use your mind's eye to look around,
Remembering the details of your surroundings.
As you do,
Identify and appreciate specific things you are grateful for in this space.
It might be the comfort of your chair,
The warmth of the sunlight streaming through the window,
Or the peaceful ambience of the room.
You might also reflect on the people you live with and appreciate their presence,
Support,
And the positive energy they bring into your daily life.
Let this gratitude fill you,
Acknowledging how these elements enhance your sense of well-being and comfort.
Next,
Shift your focus to other familiar places that hold meaning for you.
This could be a cherished park,
A favorite cafe,
Or any place where you have experienced joy or solace.
Visualize these locations,
Recalling the positive experiences and memories associated with them.
You might also think about the people who share or have shared these places with you,
Such as friends or loved ones,
And appreciate their presence and the joy they bring into your life.
Allow yourself to smile as you immerse in these memories,
Letting the gratitude and happiness fill you completely.
Reflect on how these places and the people connected to them contribute to your overall sense of well-being and joy.
Finally,
Expand your perspective to encompass the world at large.
Reflect on the broader aspects of life and the global community that inspire gratitude within you.
Consider the beauty of nature,
Such as the majestic landscapes,
The serenity of oceans,
Or the diversity of wildlife.
Think about the kindness and compassion shown by people around the world,
From acts of charity and humanitarian efforts to global movements for social justice and equality.
Appreciate the advancements and innovations that improve lives,
Such as medical breakthroughs,
Technological progress,
And environmental conservation efforts.
Take a moment to acknowledge and feel grateful for the interconnectedness of all things and the positive changes happening across the globe.
Allow the sense of global appreciation to deepen your connection to the world and enhance your overall sense of gratitude.
Wonderful.
Anytime you wish to return to the positivity and empowerment of this session,
Simply clasp your hands together.
Each time you do,
You will reconnect with the essence of who you are and all that you are capable of achieving.
You will remember your strengths and align yourself with your best self,
Effortlessly letting go of anything that does not resonate with your true purpose.
Clasp your hands together now,
And as you do,
Feel the connection to the positivity and strength of this session.
As you gently pull your hands apart,
With your eyes still closed,
Begin to bring your awareness back to the present moment.
Start by moving your fingers and toes.
Then gradually stretch and flex your limbs to awaken your body.
Feel the energy returning to you,
Revitalizing you,
And refreshing you.
Each time that you use this method for easy relaxation,
You relax more easily,
More quickly,
And more deeply.
Relaxation is a skill that you are easily developing.
Now,
Visualize the stairs once more.
Imagine yourself standing at the bottom,
Ready to ascend to your beautiful day ahead.
Begin to walk up each step slowly and deliberately.
