Welcome to the meditation.
I am Dana Mitchell,
Your guide,
And this is a closed eye meditation.
Make sure that you are not driving a vehicle or working any heavy machinery.
You want to be able to lay down flat or sit up straight in a chair and close your eyes so that you can relax.
And we'll get started right now.
Sit back,
Relax,
And close your eyes now.
In a very few moments,
You're going to be more relaxed than you've ever known yourself to be.
I'm going to mention certain parts of your body,
And as I do,
I want you to feel that part begin to relax.
Just feel that part begin to relax now.
In order to help you relax,
I want you to imagine yourself in a wonderfully magical forest.
It's almost nighttime now,
And the sky is a beautiful indigo blue.
The stars are coming out,
And the moon is lighting up,
And the rich forest trees.
Off in the distance,
You hear the sounds of a babbling brook,
And the crickets seem to be lulling you to sleep.
As you lie motionless,
You begin noticing a wonderfully white light just above your head.
And this white light is the most relaxing light you could ever imagine.
And as it begins to lower down around the crown of your head,
You seem to be touched with a desire and a willingness to relax even deeper and deeper and deeper with every breath that you take.
And as that relaxation comes down around your facial muscles,
All those little muscles in the facial area begin to relax.
Relaxation comes further down around the mouth now.
And all of the hundreds of little muscles around the mouth start to relax.
So much so that the lower jaw bone becomes heavy and the teeth may part.
The mouth may even open just a little bit as the relaxation continues deeper and deeper.
The relaxation goes to the back of the neck now,
Down around the shoulders,
And you begin to feel the shoulders loosen and relax.
You can even feel them drop a little bit.
The relaxation seems to go down your backbone now,
And as it goes down the spinal column,
It seems to go down to the sides so that every muscle and every nerve,
Every fiber in the back seems to relax.
The relaxation seems to come to the small of your back,
Around the bottom.
This warm sensation of relaxation comes to the back of your thighs now,
Into the hollow of your knee,
Around the calf,
Down around the heel of your leg,
To the bottom of the foot.
And each and every toe just relaxes more and more as you go deeper and deeper and even deeper.
Calm,
Very peaceful,
Very relaxed.
And now,
If necessary,
Allow yourself to shift your body however you need to,
To become even more comfortable and more and more relaxed.
