Welcome to this guided introduction relaxation.
Take a moment to make sure that you are lying comfortably.
Your feet are hip wide apart and your hands rest loosely next to your body.
Allow your eyes to close.
Take a long deep breath in.
Hold it for a moment and then slowly exhale.
Just allow any tension to melt away as you gradually relax more and more deeply with each breath.
Take another long deep breath in.
Hold it for a moment and then empty your lungs completely with your out breath.
Take a third deep breath in.
Take your time to hold it and then let it go.
Continue to breathe slowly and gently.
Relax.
Now bring your awareness to the top of your head.
Imagine a feeling of relaxation beginning to spread down from the top of your scalp.
Let the muscles in your forehead and temples relax.
Allow your eyes to relax.
Let your cheeks and jaw soften and let go of all tension.
This peaceful feeling flows down your neck and deep into the muscles in your shoulders,
Releasing them.
Allow this peaceful feeling to flow through your arms,
Relaxing all the way to the tips of your fingers.
As your body relaxes,
Your mind relaxes.
Your thoughts become weightless like wisps of clouds on the breeze.
Now the peaceful sensation flows through your chest and your stomach.
Feel how this area gently rises and falls as you breathe.
Slowly and deeply.
Turn your attention to your back and feel this relaxing sensation flow all the way down your spine.
Now the peaceful feeling flows through your lower body.
Relax your buttocks,
The back of your thighs,
The front of your thighs.
Feel all these large,
Strong muscles becoming loose and relaxed.
This relaxing feeling flows down through your knees and into your calves.
Your ankles relax and now your feet relax.
Your entire body is soft,
Calm and relaxed.
Stay as long as you want in this relaxing state and whenever you are ready to come back,
Gently move your fingers and toes,
Allow your eyes to open and continue with the rest of your day.
