Sit in a chair with your feet on the ground and arms at your side or on your back.
Close your eyes and breathe deeply.
Take two deep breaths,
Inhaling to the count of five,
And then exhaling to the count of five.
Begin with your toes.
Imagine that a big sun is shining over your toes,
Melting away any tension.
Allow the tension to melt and sink into the floor,
Just like melting snow or melting butter.
Feel how warm and relaxed your toes feel.
Just allow yourself to relax in the light and breathe.
Now move on to your legs.
Imagine that a big sun is shining over your legs,
Melting away any tension.
Allow the tension to melt and sink into the floor,
Just like melting snow or melting butter.
Feel how warm and relaxed your legs feel.
Just allow yourself to relax in the light and breathe.
Now move on to your arms.
Imagine that a big sun is shining over your arms,
Melting away any tension.
Allow the tension to melt and sink into the floor,
Just like melting snow or melting butter.
Feel how warm and relaxed your arms feel.
Just allow yourself to relax in the light.
Breathe.
Now move on to your back.
Imagine that a big sun is shining over your back,
Melting away any tension.
Allow the tension to melt and sink into the floor,
Just like melting snow or melting butter.
Feel how warm and relaxed your back feels.
And allow yourself to relax in the light and breathe.
Move on to your shoulders.
Imagine that a big sun is shining over your shoulders,
Melting away any tension.
Allow the tension to melt and sink into the floor,
Just like melting snow or melting butter.
Feel how warm and relaxed your shoulders feel.
Allow yourself to relax in the light and breathe.
Finally,
Move on to your head.
Imagine that a big sun is shining over your head,
Melting away any tension.
Allow the tension to melt and sink into the floor,
Just like melting snow or melting butter.
Feel how warm and relaxed your head feels.
Just allow yourself to relax in the light and breathe.
Now that you have melted away all the tension,
Allow your whole body to melt into the chair or bed.
Feel it beneath you,
Holding you.
Imagine that the big sun above is shining a brilliant golden light.
And allow that warm light to touch every part of your body.
Breathe and rest in this calm moment.
Now wiggle your toes and your fingers.
Take a deep breath and get ready to open your eyes.
Place your hands gently over your eyes and open when you're ready,
Allowing your hands to slowly drop away.
