Lie comfortably face up in your bed with your arms to the side and your palms up.
Take a few deep breaths and come into the here and now.
You are about to go into a very deep,
Deep state of relaxation.
Begin by becoming aware of your toes and feel them enter into this relaxed state.
Now feel this wave of relaxation traveling along the soles and the heels of the feet.
Letting go.
Letting go.
Relaxed.
Feel your ankles and release them into this peaceful state.
Your shins and calves are letting go deeper and deeper.
Feel your knees letting go completely.
Your upper legs join into this resting state.
Now bring your awareness to your fingers and let them go.
The palms and back of the hands release.
Feel your wrists giving way into this tranquil state.
Forearms.
Elbows.
And upper arms let go.
Now your arms are just like your legs in this complete state of relaxation.
Bring your awareness to the pelvis and keep on letting go until there is nothing left to let go of.
Your low back and abdomen relax.
Your mid back,
Upper back,
Chest and shoulders let go.
Feel your neck melting away deeper and deeper.
Chin.
Cheeks.
Lips.
Tongue.
Nose.
Eyes.
Forehead.
And scalp all surrender into this peaceful state.
Use your mind to scan your body and feel if there is any area not letting go completely.
Let it know it is safe to let go now.
Become aware of your breath.
Calmly observe its natural rhythm.
Don't let your mind wander.
Keep it on the breath.
Bring your awareness to your mind.
Watch your thoughts with no judgement as if you are watching a movie.
Let your thoughts go and allow yourself to fully experience this relaxed state.
You can easily enter into this state at will and doing so at the appropriate time will allow you to obtain many of the benefits of sleep.
Mentally repeat,
I am relaxed.
I am relaxed.
I am relaxed.
From this moment on,
Whenever you are in this position and repeat,
I am relaxed.
You will return to this experience of deep relaxation and allow yourself to drift into deep,
Deep sleep.
Allow yourself to be completely open and receptive to the words you are about to hear.
Silently repeat each affirmation and make it your own.
I love and accept myself exactly as I am right now.
I trust that everything in my life is unfolding exactly as it should.
My glands maintain levels that support natural,
Healthy sleep patterns.
I have earned my rest for tonight.
My bed is a place of comfort,
Relaxation and deep sleep.
Sleeping deeply is normal for me.
I sleep all through the night and wake up feeling fresh and alert.
I fall asleep easily and peacefully.
My sleep is relaxed,
Deep and refreshing.
I will recall any significant dreams and understand their meaning.
Allow these affirmations to become deeply ingrained into your consciousness as you begin the breathing technique that from now on will be another valuable tool for you to use to relax your body and mind.
Place the tip of your tongue to the top of your mouth at the ridge just behind your teeth.
You are going to breathe in through your nose for a count of four,
Hold to a count of seven and breathe out through your mouth for a count of eight.
You will breathe like this four times and then enter into a very deep sleep.
Begin with a full deep cleansing breath in.
Breathe out completely.
Now place the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth and breathe in two,
Three,
Four,
Hold,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six,
Seven,
Out,
Two,

You will now allow yourself to drift into a deep,
Refreshing sleep and wake up refreshed at the appropriate time.
