For safety reasons,
Do not listen to this meditation while driving,
Operating machinery,
Or doing anything other than sitting in a safe environment.
Now that you are here,
Sitting down and comfortable,
Just allow your eyes to close and sink down into the chair and be as lazy as you want to be.
And you may want to take a deep breath in and exhale,
Clearing your chest and lungs and sinking down into relaxation.
That soothing relaxation I know you've been waiting for.
And as you sink down,
I can tell you are beginning to relax and it is good.
And you wouldn't be sitting there if you didn't want to fall into a deep meditative trance and relax now.
And that's because you are relaxing deeper and deeper with every breath,
Allowing a calm relaxation to wash over you like warm honey from the top of your head to the tip of your toes.
All the way down into that deep,
Deep relaxation I know you deserve.
And the more you relax,
The more relaxed you become,
Sinking deeper and deeper into that relaxed meditation,
That relaxed trance of bliss.
And I know that you know there is a place with even deeper relaxation than this.
And you can ask yourself,
What do I have to do to be that relaxed now?
And you can easily just do that now.
Or simply choose to be even more relaxed than you were.
I mean,
So totally relaxed that you can't imagine being any more relaxed as you float down and down.
And as you float down,
You become lighter as all the stress and tension lifts from your body,
Lifting up and up out of you.
As you let it go and find yourself sinking deeper and deeper and feeling lighter and lighter than before,
You can relax even deeper than you know that simply by being here deepens your trance as you find a new level of relaxation that you are learning can be even deeper than before.
And the second thing to remember is that all the sounds you hear are just there to help you go even deeper into that blissful relaxation now.
And the third thing to remember is how easy it is to forget the first thing now.
And searching for your lost memory means you are relaxing even deeper and deeper than you thought possible.
And as you think about all of those thoughts,
You'd thought before you thought the thoughts you were thinking.
As you think about those thoughts and how with so many things to think about that all of those thoughts you thought you had simply lose all meaning as they disappear into an abyss of lost thoughts of a forgotten realm and as you sink even deeper into that blissfully relaxed place that you know you deserve and you can.
And what if you imagined for a moment with your powerful imagination that you were making your way down a street lined with all kinds of shops and storefronts and you wonder what it is you were looking for as you pass the temptations of a cake shop and the aromas of a cafe.
You pass a cinema playing old movies and an antique shop filled with old furniture and strange artifacts and you continue past the other stores until you arrive at a mysterious old doorway with no signage only ornate markings carved into the door.
And you know instinctively that this is the place you need to be to learn even more about relaxation and as you reach out and open the door you are gifted with the atmosphere of old books that lingering wisdom that permeates the air of only the greatest old libraries that you have stumbled into now.
And take a moment to look around at the shelves filled with books of every kind.
There are new books and old books and even some ancient books that seem to pre-date history itself and there are hardbacks and paperbacks,
Loose leaf manuscripts and leather bound compendiums and although at first glance it may have appeared to be a small library there is a sense that the shelves twist and turn in a labyrinth of the never ending knowledge and wisdom of all time.
There are books from the ceiling to the floor and even some special books that stand alone on their own podiums and you stand in awe of this magnificent place you have found yourself in.
As you begin to move through the aisles taking in all that you see running your fingers over the titles looking for one that stands out slowly making your way deeper and deeper into the labyrinth overcome by the transcendent peace and calm that is this place of ancient knowledge and wisdom.
Looking high and searching low twisting and turning down the aisles of bookcases seeking something that one book that special book that you will only know when it is before you and as you look you notice the one book seems to be glowing and know that this is the book that you need right now and running your fingers over it take it from the shelf and read the title the ancient secrets of relaxation and instead of written by it states written for and to your surprise in bold embossed lettering is your name this book of relaxation is written just for you.
Finally you open this seemingly magical book and discover a language written purely for you and your unconscious mind filled with words and symbols and imagery and as you scan over the text you gain a deeper feeling of what they are as you relax even deeper and as you absorb the book and its story unlocking the true secrets of relaxation you begin to gain even deeper relaxation deep within and it tells the story of a person who was filled with tension stress and anxiety who never relaxed and how they were heading for disaster from all of the illness that resulted from too much stress tension and anxiety and then one day the person was walking through a park on their way to something important and a glistening light caught their eye something they had never noticed before but this time was there glistening as if calling to them beckoning them to come closer and looking down at their watch they noticed they were early and could spare just a minute to investigate this glint of light so the person made their way to the beckoning light in the middle of the park and as they approached they noticed that the light was actually a sphere of perfect light pure light hovering floating and there was a delicate tune resonating from within it was a peaceful and calming tune that was so delicate that it took all of their focus and attention to hear it yet it was so compelling that it demanded their full attention and as they focused deeper and deeper they began to hear a tune within the tune and see a light within the light as if the sphere was made of infinite complexities in its pure simplicity and as the person's attention was drawn in deeper and deeper they felt a lightness as the resonance of the sphere penetrated to the heart of them allowing them to let go of all the burdens of stress and tension and anxiety they had been carrying and as they got lighter and lighter they began to float up and up and the lighter they got the higher they floated and a song from within began to sing in perfect harmony with the tune of the sphere of light and for the first time the person was able to relax and cast off all that had held them back in the past and just relax now that's right.
This is a poem I wrote recently,
The idea of butterンダ deгоçan بتan Mumice.
And floating higher and higher into the sky,
The sphere ascending with them,
And at the crescendo of their song,
The person reached out and held the sphere of pure light within light and compelled to do so,
Pulled that sphere of perfect soothing calmness of peace and tranquility into their heart and become completely at peace as you float in perfect relaxation,
Not a care in the world,
And just allow yourself to float and relax as if laying on a cloud,
Absorbing all the peace and tranquility this sphere has to offer you now.
That's right.
And as you drift through the skies,
You dream of another time and another place,
A place between time and space,
A place of only peace,
Love and tranquility,
And the most soothing calm transcends over you,
Melting away all that no longer served you,
Thoughts,
Beliefs,
Habits,
All melting away,
Seeping through the fabric of time and space,
Melting,
Dripping away until they are all gone now.
That's right.
And in this place of only peace,
Love and tranquility,
The space left behind is filled with the most profound peace,
Love and happiness you have ever known,
Filling you up until you are whole,
Repairing and healing any damage caused by that which you have let go,
Filling you up with the purity of light all the way until you are whole and healed now.
And allow yourself to bask in the glory of this peace,
Love and tranquility that is now part of you and just relax.
That's right.
And as you absorb all of this peace,
Love and tranquility,
You will be able to feel love and tranquility stand before yourself.
Maybe it's your soul or maybe it's your reflection and it is the highest form of you,
Free from all the burdens that you used to carry,
Pure and light and you take yourself by the hand and gaze into your own eyes and recognize the connection and feel the love between you,
Your profound love for self and allow that love to fill you and your reflection all the way up until you are both whole and healed now.
That's right.
Now hug your reflection and tell them you love them.
And they tell you that they love you and merge into one being of pure love,
Light,
Peace and tranquility.
And accept love into your heart and accept light into your soul and accept peace into your being and tranquility descends over you and through you,
Permeating your very being.
And this place of peace,
Love and tranquility becomes one within you as you find yourself floating in the sky above the park,
Softly drifting down and down,
Returning to the ground and the person wonders what had happened.
Were they up in the clouds for just a moment or an eternity?
And they realize it doesn't matter as they discover that all of the burdens they once had have now gone and the person smiles the most joyful smile as they rediscover the love for themselves they had lost.
And it fills them with an overwhelming sense of joy as they dance around the park in a vision of peaceful beauty amongst the flowers and trees,
Not a care in the world.
And the person knew that this new tranquility and peace in their heart would be with them forever more and never again would they return to their old ways as they are now filled with a deep love and respect for themselves.
And everything was beautiful as the person's health returned and they lived happily ever after.
And as you reach the last page of the book,
While in this ancient library of wisdom,
A sense of peace,
Love and tranquility transcends upon you and an amazing sense of inner joy as the wisdom of this ancient book becomes part of you.
And you may wonder how long you have been here,
Absorbing this great book in this ancient library and you may wonder how amazing it is that you found this book in the labyrinth of bookshelves.
And now you can take some time to wander around these great books and allow all of the knowledge and wisdom you want and need to be absorbed into you through their stories of old and new.
And all of the peace,
Love and tranquility becomes one within you as you relax in this place of great wisdom,
Don't you?
And as you absorb all of the amazing things this place has to offer,
You find yourself back at the door filled with peace,
Love,
Tranquility and all of the ancient wisdoms you need and you make your way back out through the ornate doorway and out onto the street and the world looks different now with so much peace,
Love and tranquility in your heart.
And as you make your way along the street filled with a new sense of joy,
You come to the end of the book of the story of the library of wisdom and gently close it and place it on the table beside you,
Allowing its story of peace,
Love and tranquility to wash over you from the top of your head to the tips of your toes and just sit and relax for a moment,
Allowing thoughts to come and go as you enjoy this perfect moment of perfect peace.
That's right.
Thank you.
You You And as nice as it would be to stay in this peaceful place forever It is time to return to the waking world once again Yet when you return You'll keep this powerful sense of peace love and tranquility deep inside you Wherever you go and whatever you do And whenever you see a book Whatever that book is This deep sense of peace love and tranquility Will rise up inside as you remember this moment whenever you see a book a Hardback paperback fiction or nonfiction Even magazines or manuscripts Whenever you see them This deep sense of peace love and tranquility Will rise up inside you as you remember this moment now And now it is time to return to waking consciousness In a moment I'll count from one to five And when I reach five open your eyes wide awake fully alert and rejuvenated and With a deep sense of peace love and tranquility Inside every fiber of your being One Awareness is starting to return Two become aware of your breathing and allow it to return to normal Three become aware of your body arms and legs as you sit Four take a deep breath in Clearing your chest and lungs Your eyes refreshing as if being cleansed by a cool mountain stream Five eyes open wide awake and fully alert feeling totally rejuvenated refreshed and relaxed And allow that peace love and tranquility To stay with you always And allow that peace love and tranquility to stay with you always You
