Please,
Ensure you are in a quiet,
Comfortable place where you will not be disturbed.
You may sit or lie down,
Whichever is more comfortable for you.
Take a moment to settle in,
Ensuring that your body is fully supported and that you are in a position where you can remain comfortably for the duration of this session.
Take a few moments to adjust your body,
Ensuring you are completely at ease.
Allow yourself to let go of any expectations and simply be present in this moment.
Close your eyes gently,
Allowing the outside world to fade away.
Feel the gentle weight of your eyelids as they rest closed.
Notice how your body begins to feel heavier and more relaxed with each passing moment.
Allow your mind to begin to let go of any thoughts or concerns,
Knowing that this time is just for you.
Focus on the sensation of your body against the surface you are resting on,
Feeling the support beneath you.
Allow yourself to sink into this support,
Feeling completely at ease and comfortable.
Take a deep breath in through your nose,
Filling your lungs completely.
Hold for a moment,
And then slowly exhale through your mouth,
Releasing any tension.
Repeat this process three times,
Each breath bringing you deeper into a state of relaxation.
Imagine each breath carrying away any stress or worries.
As you breathe in,
Feel the cool,
Refreshing air filling your lungs,
And as you breathe out,
Feel the warm,
Soothing release of tension.
Continue this deep,
Rhythmic breathing,
Allowing each breath to take you deeper into relaxation.
With each inhale,
Imagine drawing in positive energy and light,
And with each exhale,
Imagine releasing any negativity or heaviness,
Washing away any tightness or discomfort.
Allow any remaining tension to dissolve,
Leaving you feeling completely relaxed.
Now,
Imagine a set of 10 steps in front of you.
With each step you take,
You feel yourself descending into a deeper state of relaxation and peace.
Start at the top step,
Taking your time as you move down to the next step.
