Hello,
This is Andrew.
It is time to do a little relaxing.
And all you need to do is sit down or lie down and make sure that you're comfortable.
Do that now.
Make yourself as comfortable as you can.
Good.
Before we start relaxing,
I want you to gently close your eyes.
Just allow your eyes to close as if you're sleeping at night.
Now,
Let's do some relaxation.
All you need to do is listen and imagine and pretend and enjoy.
I'd like you to notice how your right hand feels.
The palm of your hand.
The back of your hand.
The fingers and the thumb.
Can you imagine your right hand,
Fingers and thumb becoming warmer?
Just a little warmer.
And a little heavier.
That's good.
I would like you to notice how your right arm feels.
The wrist up to the elbow and the elbow up to the shoulder.
Can you imagine your right arm from the wrist to the shoulder becoming warmer?
Just a little warmer and a little heavier.
That's good.
I would like you to notice how your left hand feels.
The palm of your hand.
The back of your hand.
The fingers and the thumb.
Can you imagine your left hand,
Fingers and thumb becoming warmer?
Just a little warmer and a little heavier.
That's good.
I would like you to notice how your left arm feels.
The wrist up to the elbow and the elbow up to the shoulder.
Can you imagine your left arm from the wrist to the shoulder becoming warmer?
Just a little warmer and a little heavier.
That's good.
I would like you to notice how your right foot feels.
The top of your foot.
The bottom of your foot.
And all the toes.
Can you imagine your right foot becoming warmer?
Just a little warmer and a little heavier.
That's good.
I would like you to notice how your right leg feels.
The ankle up to the knee and the knee up to the waist.
Can you imagine your right leg from the ankle to the waist becoming warmer?
Just a little warmer and just a little heavier.
That's good.
I would like you to notice how your left foot feels now.
The top of your foot.
The bottom of your foot.
And all the toes.
Can you imagine your left foot becoming warmer?
Just a little warmer and a little heavier.
That's good.
I would like you to notice how your left leg feels.
The ankle up to the knee and the knee up to the waist.
Can you imagine your left leg from the ankle to the waist becoming warmer?
Just a little warmer and a little heavier.
That's good.
I would like you to notice how your whole body feels now.
From the bottom of your feet to the top of your head to the tips of your fingers.
Can you imagine now every part of your body top to bottom becoming warmer?
Just a little warmer and a little heavier.
That's good.
Isn't relaxation easy when you can just imagine and pretend that it's happening?
I want to tell you something wonderful.
Every time you practice this relaxation by listening to me as I ask you to pretend and imagine and enjoy,
The relaxation gets easier and easier.
In fact,
There may soon be a time when you don't even have to listen to me at all.
Isn't it nice to know that you can be this relaxed any time you wish?
Isn't it nice to know that relaxing is as easy as this?
And because you have allowed yourself to relax,
Afterwards you are feeling happier.
You are feeling healthier.
You are feeling calmer.
You are feeling better.
You have more energy during the day.
You have more concentration during the day.
You are sleeping deeper at night.
So it will soon be time to wake and stretch and open your eyes.
And when you do finish this relaxation time,
You will be a little more relaxed for the rest of the day.
Give your fingers a little wiggle.
Give your toes a little wiggle.
Gently stretch your arms.
Gently stretch your legs.
Take a gentle deep breath in and open your eyes.
Open your eyes.
You are wide awake.
Lead awake and relaxed.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
