Transcript

Let's start by taking a deep breath and as you exhale allow your eyes to close.

And imagine a cord attached to the base of your spine and traveling all the way to the center of the earth.

Slowly anchor that cord now into the center of the earth and wrapping the ends around anything solid you find.

Allow the cord to expand to a size that's comfortable for you.

And now release any stress,

Tension,

Anxiety or negativity down that cord.

You can release any unfinished projects or people or thoughts.

Release them down the cord now.

And for the next little while acknowledge any thoughts that may come into your mind.

Don't judge them,

Just acknowledge them and release them down your grounding cord.

Take another deep breath,

Hold the breath and exhale through your mouth very slowly.

Begin to relax even deeper,

Begin to feel calm and tranquil.

And with your third deep breath,

Once more comfortably fill your lungs,

Hold the breath and as you exhale allow the remaining stress and tension to flow out of your body.

And it's not necessary to hear any sounds outside my voice and you can enjoy the comfort of drifting into a deep state of relaxation.

This is the most important process for you to be doing and the most important place for you to be.

Just allow yourself to let go and relax.

And now focus your awareness on the muscles on the top of your head.

Begin to feel a wave of relaxation flow from the top of your head,

Down over your forehead into your eyebrows,

Moving around your eyes now,

Bathing your eyes with comfort and ease.

As you feel yourself drifting deeper and deeper,

Focus on the sound of my voice,

Feel yourself drifting deeper and relax,

Deeper and relax.

As you feel that wave of relaxation move across your nose,

Down into your cheeks,

Muscles melting down just like butter melting on a warm stove.

Drifting deeper as the muscles around your mouth relax and that relaxation flows into your jaw,

Into your tongue and maybe your teeth separate slightly.

And now allow that wave of relaxation to flow from the top of your head,

Down over the back of your head,

Around your ears and temples and on down into your neck muscles.

And as those muscles begin to melt and blend,

Feel yourself drifting deeper and deeper with each easy breath that you take as you relax completely and all outside noises,

Sounds,

Even your own thoughts cause you to drift and go deeper,

Deeper and deeper.

Let that relaxation flow into your shoulders and feel how your shoulders begin to droop and sag with a comfortable,

Pleasant,

Drowsy feeling of relaxation.

Allow all those muscles to let go completely.

And notice how much more relaxed you are right now than you were just a few moments ago.

And as that wave of comfort and ease begins to flow across your shoulders,

Down your arms,

Feel the relaxation move into each and every muscle,

Into every single muscle,

Nerve and tendon as you relax and let go.

Feel the muscles melting effortlessly and easily.

Your shoulders and the back of your neck melts completely.

And now that tingling,

Soothing wave moves around your elbows,

Down into your forearms.

And now surrounding your wrists with comfort and ease and on down into your hands.

Clear out the very tips of your fingers,

Relaxing more with each easy breath that you take.

And as you relax,

Allow all the stress and tension to drain out the very tips of your fingers as you relax and let go.

And now that wave of relaxation spreads from your shoulders and it spreads to the broad muscles of your back.

And all discomfort and disorder serving no useful purpose just leaves your body as you relax and drift deeper,

Even deeper.

As that wave travels down your back,

Around your chest,

Feel yourself relaxing and drifting even deeper.

That wave of relaxation flows around your waist now,

Down into your hips and thighs.

Feel those muscles melting as you allow yourself to relax.

Starting at the top of your head and flowing down through your entire body as that wave of relaxation spreads down through your thighs and down around your knees,

Bathing your knees with comfort and ease.

And now down into your calves.

Just feel those calf muscles melting down completely as you relax deeper and deeper.

Feel that relaxation flow around your ankles.

Bathing your ankles with comfort and ease.

That wave moves on down into the heel and arch of your feet.

Flowing along the soles of your feet,

Clear out to the tips of your toes.

And now allow any remaining stress and tension to drain right out the very ends of your feet.

Removing all aches and pains.

And now I'm going to count from 10 down to 1 As you allow yourself to deepen this relaxation,

Each descending number takes you even deeper down,

Even more relaxed,

Even more at peace.

And on the number 1,

You enter a beautiful place of peace and tranquility.

And now let's take that first step down.

10,

Deeper and deeper.

9,

Relaxing more with each descending number.

8,

Drifting,

Floating,

Gliding.

7,

Deeper still.

6,

Relaxing more with each easy breath that you take.

And when I reach the number 1,

You'll be 10 times more deeply relaxed than you are right now.

5,

Deeper still.

4,

3,

Deeper and deeper.

2,

Almost down to that perfect place of peace and tranquility.

And 1,

Deeply relaxed.

More relaxed than you can ever imagine.

And as you reach this state of complete relaxation,

You enter your own beautiful private haven.

A place of peace,

Comfort and tranquility.

A place where you can allow yourself to be deeply relaxed.

A place that is safe and secure.

A place where you are allowed to feel all your feelings.

A place where it's safe to express your feelings.

A place where you're always safe,

Relaxed and at peace.

Continuing to enjoy this place.

Allow your subconscious mind to open fully as a flower opens to the rays of the sun.

Imagine the relaxing sounds around you.

Become aware of your own easy breathing.

Feel the relaxation flow through your body and visualize yourself relaxed and at peace in this beautiful place.

And as you look around,

You may find yourself indoors or outdoors.

Maybe a place that you've been or a place you've always wanted to go.

It doesn't matter.

Just so it is a place that you feel happy and at peace.

And now to relax your mind,

I'll count backwards from 100.

And by the time I reach the number 97,

The numbers dissolve and drift out of your mind.

I'm beginning to count now 100 deeper relaxed.

99 deeper relaxed.

97 deeper and deeper.

The numbers drifting right on out of your mind.
