Welcome to deep relaxation,
Start by getting comfortable,
Take a moment to let your energy settle.
We're going to start by taking three deep breaths as we tense our muscles,
Hold the breath and then let the tension go slowly.
So do that with me,
Breathe in,
Tense all your muscles as you hold the breath and let it out slowly.
Okay,
Tense all of your muscles,
Hold it,
Just let your breathing return to normal and let your energy settle more and more.
Let's deliberately slow our breathing down a little bit more,
So just breathe to the count of four with me,
So you breathe in,
One,
Two.
We're going to scan through the whole body,
Relaxing each muscle as we come to it.
Start by taking your attention to the top of your head,
Into the forehead and jaw.
Become aware of all these muscles and as you breathe into these areas,
Quietly say to yourself,
Relax.
Noticing your whole head,
Feeling relaxed.
Now take your attention into your neck and shoulders,
Feeling the muscles,
Breathing into this area as you say relax,
Feeling all the tension drifting away with every breath.
Your whole head,
Neck,
Shoulders feeling heavier and more and more relaxed,
Moving down through the arms,
The upper arm,
Lower arm,
Getting more and more relaxed as you breathe into these areas.
Your head,
Neck,
Moving through our chest and torso,
Noticing any tension we're carrying and breathing into that area.
Moving into the hips,
Breathing into your whole lower body,
The tension draining away,
Breath by breath,
The feeling your soul has been craving,
Nothing to do.
Allow yourself to drift off into a peaceful cup and feel refreshed and relaxed.
Namaste.
