Hi,
My name is Jade and I will be guiding you through this relaxation practice to ease anxiety.
When we experience anxiety,
It is because we are detached from the present moment.
Maybe we are caught up in the past or thinking about the future.
Feelings of anxiety are completely normal and together we will move through them.
Please find a comfortable position,
Whether that is seated or lying down.
Once you have found your position,
Let's begin to slow the nervous system down to calm you down,
Signaling to the mind and the body that it is time to relax.
Exhale everything out of the mouth.
Take a slow,
Deep,
Deep inhale breath through the nose.
Once you have filled the belly,
Hold the breath in for a few moments and exhale slowly release.
Inhale through the nose,
Deep inhale,
Hold at the top,
Control the breath and exhale,
Slowly release,
Allowing the exhales to be long.
And again,
Inhale,
Holding the breath for a few moments,
Pausing in stillness,
And exhale release.
As you continue to breathe deeply and evenly,
Begin to visualize a peaceful scene in your mind,
Maybe that's a beautiful natural landscape,
Your favorite vacation spot,
Or any place that makes you feel calm and relaxed.
Allow yourself to become fully present in this scene.
What do you see?
The colors,
The textures,
The light,
What time of day?
What do you hear?
Is it the ocean crashing?
The birds?
What do you smell?
Is it the smell of the trees?
The salt in the air from the ocean?
What do you feel as you take a deep breath in and you exhale to release?
How do you feel in this scene,
In this moment?
Now that you are fully immersed in this safe,
Calm,
Peaceful scene that you have created,
You are allowed to release feelings of stress,
Anxiety,
And tension.
As you inhale,
Imagine that you are breathing in a bright,
Healing light.
This light represents peace,
Clarity,
And calmness.
As you exhale,
Imagine that you are releasing any tension,
Stress,
Or negative thoughts from your body and mind.
As you inhale this bright,
Healing light,
Allow yourself to fully let go with each exhale breath,
Softening the shoulders and the body,
Feeling a sense of calm and peace fill your body.
Continuing the deep inhales,
A bright light enters,
And lengthening your exhales to release the tension.
Anything you don't want to carry any longer,
Let it go.
You are fully present here in this moment,
In this safe space you have created for yourself.
You feel a sense of calm,
You feel a sense of inner peace,
You feel connected to the present moment,
To the now.
Allowing yourself to fully let go as you inhale,
And as you exhale,
Release.
Continue to breathe deeply and evenly,
Allowing yourself to be fully present in this moment,
Tuning into the body,
The physical body,
Starting at the top of your head,
Feeling into the forehead,
Relaxing the muscle in the forehead,
The eyebrow,
The eyelid,
Relaxing the cheek,
The muscles in your jaw,
Letting the tongue rest behind the two front teeth,
The ultimate relaxation position,
Letting the shoulders,
The chest to soften.
Whatever heaviness you feel,
The weight of the world on your shoulders,
Allow it to melt away.
It is not your responsibility.
All you are required to do is be here now.
Inhale,
Breath,
And exhale,
Soften.
Allow those responsibilities to slip away.
They don't matter here right now.
All you are required to do is be here and breathe.
Feeling the weight on your shoulders slip away,
Your chest to soften,
Allowing your upper arms,
The elbows,
And the lower arms to soften and relax,
