Transcript

This recording is of a hypnotic nature and should not be used while driving a car or operating machinery.

Fall into a safe and comfortable position as you enjoy listening to the gentle sounds of the ocean surf.

Now allow your eyes to close and your breathing to become deep and full.

Take in a nice deep breath and hold it for a moment.

Now let it out slowly and completely.

Breathing in fully and exhaling easily.

Breathing in pure,

Fresh oxygen and exhaling stress,

Anxiety and tension.

Take in a slow,

Deep and cleansing breath and as you let it out,

Begin to allow all the tension in your body to leave.

And now as you begin to breathe naturally,

Allow yourself to go deep and relaxed while listening to the sounds of this recording.

Continue relaxing and recognize as you relax that you will always be able to maintain awareness.

Any outside sounds become like music to your ears.

And if there is an emergency situation,

You'll be able to simply and easily open your eyes and respond to the emergency in a normal fashion.

Otherwise the sounds are blending in and assisting you in your relaxation.

Imagine a soothing wave of relaxation flowing now from the top of your head all the way to the tips of your toes.

You may become more comfortable as you let go of all the tension in your body,

Allowing your whole body to become relaxed.

Allow the relaxation to really soak in.

Let it soak in to every part of your body.

There is no limit to the amount of relaxation that you can experience.

Most people find that they can become more relaxed during focused relaxation than when they are asleep at night.

And right now,

All you need to do is listen to the sound of this recording and follow the instructions.

And you too will experience a very deep and enjoyable sense of relaxation.

Focusing on each part of your body now,

Beginning with your head,

Allow a warm wave of relaxation to loosen and relax all the muscles in your head and scalp.

Now that warm and comfortable feeling of relaxation flows down into your face,

Relaxing all the small muscles around your mouth and eyes.

Comfortably relaxing your jaw and easily releasing all tension from your head and face completely.

Don't worry if you don't feel the relaxation immediately.

Just focus on the sounds of this recording and as you continue following instructions,

Relaxation will settle in.

This flow of relaxation radiates down your neck,

Into your shoulders and back,

Relaxing every muscle in your neck and back completely and totally.

And back easily releases all tension and sinks further into relaxation.

Now this flow of relaxation moves down your arms,

Relaxing every muscle and flows into your hands and all the way to the tips of your fingers,

Feeling so comfortable,

So at ease,

And allowing every part of your arms and hands to just let go.

Relaxation now flows into your chest,

Normalizing your breathing,

Heart rate and blood pressure.

And as it continues down into your stomach,

It harmonizes all your bodily functions,

Allowing your body to rejuvenate and replenish itself.

You now recognize that relaxation is good for you.

You enjoy relaxing daily because of the beneficial effect it has on your physical,

Emotional and mental well-being.

This peaceful flow of relaxation continues radiating down into your legs now,

Traveling across your knees and into your ankles and softening all the joints and tendons there and relaxing each and every muscle.

You begin feeling yourself really letting go into this sensation of relaxation.

Now this flow of relaxation is traveling into the tops and the soles of your feet,

Relieving them of all their tension.

And you feel a warm and gentle flow of relaxation all the way from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.

And now that your entire body is relaxed,

You once again send another wave of relaxation down your body,

Releasing any last bit of tension,

Dissolving it completely and letting go entirely.

And now you are noticing how your whole body responds with an even deeper level of relaxation.

There is no limit to how much relaxation you can experience.

And the deeper you go,

The better you feel.

And the better you feel,

The deeper you can go.

And now,

As I count from five down to one,

You can imagine yourself stepping down into ever deepening levels of relaxation,

Allowing yourself to drift back down to that deepest level of relaxation that you have ever experienced.

Starting with five,

You are feeling deeper and deeper relaxed,

Safe,

Secure,

And comfortable.

Stepping down now to four,

Deeper and deeper relaxed.

Stepping down now to three,

Allowing yourself to relax so much,

It's as if you were asleep at night and your mind is relaxed and focused on the sound of my voice.

Stepping down now to two,

Way down,

Drifting and floating down deeper and deeper.

Safe,

Secure,

And comfortable.

And stepping down now to one,

So deeply relaxed and relaxing more and more with every gentle breath you exhale.

You begin repeating simple affirmations to yourself as you relax.

It is now easy for me to relax.

It is now easy for me to relax.

I enjoy taking the time each day to relax.

The sounds of this recording guide you deeper into relaxation.

Following my suggestions guides you deeper into relaxation.

And the deeper you go,

The better you feel,

And the better you feel,

The deeper you can go.

It's a cycle of ever deepening relaxation and feelings of comfort and pleasure.

Going more and more comfortably relaxed with each and every breath you exhale.

You feel nothing but good feelings going through your body and nothing but pleasant thoughts going through your mind.

There is no limit to the relaxation that you can experience.

As you continue to deepen your relaxation with every gentle breath you exhale,

Your mind may drift or wander or both.

And the sound of my voice will return in a moment after giving your mind time to enjoy this peaceful space of relaxation.

Nice.

In a moment,

I'm going to count again from 5 down to 1.

And when I get to 1,

You will simply drift down into a nice,

Peaceful sleep.

5.

You are beginning to drift asleep.

And with every gentle breath you exhale,

You drift deeper and deeper.

4.

Each muscle,

Nerve,

And cell in your body is comfortable and relaxed,

And you feel yourself letting go more and more.

3.

Allowing yourself to let go of everything,

You slip deeper and deeper into a comfortable and relaxed state.

And the deeper you go,

The better you feel.

And the better you feel,

The deeper you can go.

4.

Drifting off now to a comfortable sleep.

And 5.

Peacefully asleep once again.

Thank you for watching!

I enjoyed it. But on my device the volume of the music drowned out a lot of the words so I couldn’t hear it all properly.
