Allow your eyes to rest.
Now focus on your breathing,
Which should be deep and regular,
From way down to way up.
With each inhaling breath,
Breathe in the peaceful energy that surrounds you.
With each exhaling breath,
Breathe out the aches and pains and tension stored in your body.
Take a nice deep,
Relaxing breath in through your nose,
And let it all out through your mouth.
Take another deep,
Relaxing breath in through your nose,
And let it all out through your mouth.
Continue to relax even more deeply.
Now visualize,
Imagine,
Or feel all of your muscles completely relaxing.
Relax the muscles of your neck and shoulders.
A lot of tension is stored in these areas.
Relax your arms.
Relax your legs.
Relax your back muscles.
And allow the muscles of your stomach to relax completely so that your breathing stays nice and even.
With each gentle breath you take,
Allow yourself to become more and more deeply relaxed.
Visualize,
Imagine,
Or feel a bright light at the top of your head,
Inside your head.
Allow your mind to choose the color of this light.
Everything that this beautiful light touches as it later spreads down your body,
Every tissue and organ and muscle,
Every fiber and cell of your body will relax completely,
Releasing all aches and pains,
Releasing all illness,
And the light will deepen and deepen the level of your relaxation.
You are already feeling deeply peaceful and tranquil and at ease.
Now visualize,
Imagine,
Or feel the light spreading down from the top of your head,
Down past your forehead,
Behind your eyes,
Relaxing you even more.
You can see or feel or imagine the light spreading into your jaw,
Down your scalp,
Deepening your relaxed state.
Now the light is flowing into your neck,
Completely relaxing the muscles of the neck and throat,
Smoothing out the lining of your throat,
And you relax even more.
Visualize,
Imagine,
Or feel the light,
Which relaxes and heals every muscle,
Nerve,
And cell of your body,
Spreading into your shoulders,
And down both arms,
All the way to your hands and your fingers.
See or feel or imagine the light flowing into your upper back and chest and into your heart,
Which pumps the light through every blood vessel of your body,
Into your lungs,
Glowing beautifully now.
The muscles of your upper back are completely relaxed,
And now the light is spreading into your spinal cord,
From your brain to the tip of your spine,
Flowing along your entire nervous system to reach every muscle and cell of your body,
And you are deeply calm and relaxed.
You are feeling a deep tranquility,
A marvelous sense of peace.
Visualize,
Imagine,
Or feel the light spreading into your abdomen and your lower back,
Completely relaxing those muscles and nerves,
And now see it flowing into your hips,
Into your legs,
And all the way to your feet and your toes,
So that your entire body is filled,
Bathed with the wonderful bright,
Healing,
Tranquil light,
And you feel very,
Very peaceful.
Now visualize,
Imagine,
Or feel the light completely surrounding your body,
As if you were in a cocoon or halo of light.
This light shelters you and relaxes your skin and outer muscles,
And you feel even more calm and relaxed.
