Transcript

I'd like you to get comfortable in your chair and relax.

Take a deep breath and place your feet flat on the floor,

Really feeling your feet in contact with the ground underneath you.

Just take a few more deep breaths like this for a moment.

I'd like you to start by focusing on your toes.

Squench them up and then release.

Now relax your ankles,

Calf muscles,

Knees,

And thigh muscles.

Remember,

Let any thoughts you may have flow up and away from you in an air bubble.

Now relax your pelvic area and begin to notice any tension you may have in your back.

Breathe deeply in and as you breathe out,

Slowly relax and release any tension you may have in your back.

Now your shoulders.

Lift them up and then release completely.

Wonderful.

Now it's time to relax your neck and jaw muscles.

Take a deep breath in and as you breathe out,

Let go of any tension that you're holding in your neck and jaw.

Finally,

The top of your head.

I'd like you to hunch your shoulders up one last time and as you relax your shoulders,

Release any remaining tension that can sink down and float out of you.

Wonderful.

Take a few more deep breaths and enjoy this feeling of relaxation and calm for a little while longer.

I'd like you to now slowly bring your attention back to the room.

Begin noticing the sounds around you and when you're ready,

Open your eyes.

So,

How are you feeling?
