Developing Patience Remember to listen to this information only when you are able to relax.

Never when you are driving.

Never when you are operating any machinery or equipment.

Only when you are able to relax.

And if there is something you need to attend to,

You will come out of this relaxed state quickly and easily,

Fully in control.

So for now,

Allow yourself to enjoy this relaxation.

This time that is just for you.

Allow your mind to clear and if you'd like,

Close your eyes.

Now allow yourself to focus on your breathing.

And as you breathe in,

You are breathing in relaxation.

And as you breathe out,

You are breathing out any stress and tension.

Breathing in relaxation.

Breathing out stress.

Breathing more with each outward breath.

Nice and easy.

Nice and relaxed.

Remember to listen to this information only when you are able to relax.

Never when you are driving.

Never when you are operating any machinery or equipment.

Only when you are able to relax.

And if there is something you need to attend to,

You will come out of this relaxed state quickly and easily,

Fully in control.

But for now,

Just allow yourself to enjoy the relaxation.

This time that is especially for you.

Allow your mind to focus on your feet.

And think about your feet beginning to relax.

Imagine a comfortable,

Warm,

Soothing feeling in both of your feet.

Feel a warm glow of relaxation moving from your toes to your heels.

Soothing.

Relaxing your feet.

All of the muscles letting go.

Just letting go and relaxing.

Feeling warm.

Now allow that warm glow of relaxation to move up to your ankles.

That warm,

Soothing glow of relaxation allowing your ankles to relax.

Feeling good.

Feeling warm and calm.

And now that warm glow of relaxation is moving up through your calves.

Feeling warm,

Relaxed and heavy.

So now your feet,

Ankles and calves are wrapped in that warm glow of relaxation.

And when you are ready,

Allow that relaxation to move through your knees and up into your thighs.

Letting go of any tension.

Feeling the warmth,

The heaviness,

The relaxation.

And now allow that warm,

Wonderful glow of relaxation to move into your abdominal area.

Soothing.

Relaxing.

The muscles of your abdomen just letting go.

Feeling completely relaxed,

Warm and comfortable.

And that warm glow of relaxation is moving into your chest.

Allowing all of the muscles to let go.

To be completely relaxed.

And so all you notice is the wonderful rhythmic nature of each relaxing breath.

Remembering that with each outward breath you are becoming more and more relaxed.

More and more at peace.

And as you are enjoying this wonderful feeling of relaxation,

Notice that this warm glow is moving across your shoulders and up your neck.

Letting go of all tension in this area.

Allow your neck to find a comfortable position.

Nice and relaxed.

All the muscles of your face are letting go.

Your jaw is relaxing.

You may even find your teeth parting as your jaw becomes more and more relaxed.

Your cheeks.

The muscles all around your eyes and your eyelids are letting go.

Becoming so very relaxed.

You know you could open your eyes if you wanted to,

But you just don't feel like doing it.

You are so comfortable.

So relaxed.

It is as if warm rays of sunshine are surrounding your head,

Relaxing your scalp,

Your forehead,

Your nose,

Your mouth,

Your entire head.

Bringing a wonderful sense of peace,

Calm,

Relaxation and healing.

Feeling rays of relaxation.

And now that warm glow of relaxation is moving down your arms,

Relaxing all of your muscles all the way down through your elbows.

Relaxing all the way down through your wrists,

Your hands and fingertips.

And you are feeling warm,

Relaxed,

Calm.

And that warm glow of relaxation is moving into your back.

And all the muscles that crisscross your back are feeling loose,

Relaxed.

All the way from your upper back down through your lower back and legs.

All the way back down to your feet.

So now you are completely embraced in this wonderful warm glow of relaxation,

Of peace,

Of calm.

And with every outward breath you relax even more.

And now allow yourself to go deeper still as I count from 10 all the way down to zero.

From 10 to zero.

Just think of each count as a level of relaxation.

Each count relaxing you deeper and deeper.

10.

Nice and comfortable as you go to an even deeper state of relaxation.

9.

Going deeper and deeper.

More and more relaxed.

8.

Every muscle becoming heavier,

More relaxed.

7.

Feel the peace.

Feel the contentment.

6.

Deeper still.

Even deeper now.

5.

More receptive.

Feeling peaceful.

Feeling the contentment.

4.

Becoming more relaxed than you've ever been.

Deeper deeper still.

3.

All the way down.

2.

To even and even deeper state of relaxation.

Of calm.

Of peace.

1.

Almost there.

Your body completely relaxed.

0.

All the way down so that your subconscious mind can help you.

Wonderful.

Feeling at peace.

Feeling contentment.

Feeling total calm.

And all is well.

While you are enjoying feeling peaceful,

Calm and relaxed,

I'd like you to think of a very relaxing time and place.

Perhaps it's a time and place you'd like to invent.

Perhaps it's a time and place you'd like to recall.

A very relaxing time.

A very relaxing place.

A very comfortable time.

A very comfortable place.

A time and place when you felt safe,

Calm,

At peace.

Think about this place.

The scenery.

Hear the sounds.

Smell the aromas.

Feel that feeling,

A safe and comfortable feeling of well-being.

Take your time and go to this place.

And when you are there,

Allow that feeling to intensify.

Really see the scenery.

Hear the sounds.

Smell the aromas.

Feel the feeling,

That safe,

Comfortable feeling of well-being.

Well done, patience and tolerance for me are life long pursuits. The journey itself allows for personal growth, understanding that we’re all flawed, patience and compassion are necessary ingredients. Thank you,namaste

Excellent guidance in relaxing. Very specific, detailed and easy to follow. I will use the first half of this meditation over and over just for the relaxation portion. The section on patience and acceptance is so powerful! She mentions several aspects of acceptance and patience. The most comprehensive meditation I’ve ever done in this area!!! 🥰☮️
