Find a comfortable place to lay down.
Where you will not be disturbed for the duration of this recording.
You can also do this before you go to sleep.
There is no need to close your eyes yet.
Just let your gaze soften.
And say to yourself.
.
.
Intend to relax.
I deserve to feel peace.
Now.
Without straining.
Take a few deep breaths.
To oxygenate all of our body's systems.
Inhale and exhale slowly.
Inhale and exhale Inhale.
.
.
And let it go.
Breathe in.
.
.
And out.
Breathing fully in.
And letting the air escape.
Now.
Let your eyes wander around.
Looking at all the things around you.
Without looking too long at anything in particular.
Without any effort.
Allow your mind to choose in front of you something to focus on.
Begin to slowly blink your eyes.
I'm going to count down from 10,
And with each number counted,
Just blink once.
But continue to gaze at that spot in between numbers.
Here we go.
7.
Sex.
5 Farewell.
Three,
Too.
One.
And zero.
Now.
Bring your focus to your eyes.
Just notice how your eyes feel.
And ask them to relax even more.
Tell them they are permitted to rest,
And gently close them.
Notice how the back of your head feels against the surface that it's touching how heavy does your head feel right now?
Let your focus move to your nose and feel the slight sensations of the air moving in and out with your breath.
When you breathe in.
Imagine that you are being filled with calmness.
And when you breathe out imagine your body feels heavy and deeply relaxed more and more with each exhale now,
Focus on your mouth.
How does it feel?
And what do you notice?
Can you sense the flavour of something you recently tasted?
Perhaps you can imagine.
Taking a bite of something delicious.
And various flavours on your tongue.
Now,
Let your focus move to your neck notice if there is any tension there and just ask it to release a little more.
Notice how your neck feels right now.
And just feel all the sensations in your neck.
Now.
Bring your attention to your shoulders.
Slowly down each arm.
All the way to each fingertip.
What are your fingertips touching right now?
Anything or nothing.
Feel what they touch and if they are touching nothing,
See if you can feel the air upon them now.
Bring your focus to your chest.
Relaxing this area as well as your upper back.
And if you notice any tension.
Just ask it gently to release just a little.
Treat your body kindly.
Appreciative of what it does for you each day.
See if you can feel the beat of your heart and thank it.
Ask it to relax.
As if you are sleeping.
And now focus on your lungs.
Feel them gently expanding and contracting with your breath.
Delivering oxygen to your body.
Allow your focus to move down your vital organs and digestive system.
Just notice your belly and how it feels.
Just observe it,
Working and digesting effortlessly for you.
Now notice your lower back.
And how it is pressing against the surface you are on.
And if you feel any tension,
Just say.
Please relax just a little more.
Focus now on your pelvis and hips.
And notice any sensations you are having there.
This takes you deeper into a state of relaxation.
Allow your focus to move down each leg now,
Slowly relaxing those as well.
Taking a breath and imagine it slowly sweeping down.
Down through your body.
To the tips of your toes.
Think of your toes and imagine them being touched with a beautiful warm light.
This light passes through your toes up your feet.
And cause.
Your calves.
And thighs.
To your pelvis and hips.
It goes on through your stomach.
Through all your vital organs and up through your lungs.
This light is healing.
As it fills you.
Warm.
Some of it.
Radiant.
It fills your heart and you notice how happy you are becoming by doing this the light goes across your shoulders and down each arm.
All the way to the fingertips.
It rises up your neck.
To your mouth.
He has.
Knows.
Eyes.
And then fills all the tiny areas of your brain,
Relaxing it too.
It moves all the way to the very top of your head,
Where we began.
Just relax within the comfort and the healing.
Remember that you are fully capable of relaxing at any time you need to,
Allowing for life to come as it does.
Accepting the moments that are challenging.
Whenever you feel a moment of tension come,
The way you instantly relax is to take a big deep breath and focus only on that breath.
When you do so.
Allow nothing else to matter.
Accept your breath.
And if you do this correctly,
You will feel more relaxed.
If you need,
You can take a few more deep breaths,
Relaxing you even further.
Remembering to breathe is the key.
It is also beneficial when you are in a state of relaxation to focus on being happy or to remember a time when you felt safe and happy.
Let that feeling come to the forefront of your mind,
Enclosing you in comfort.
With this relaxation technique and ability to accept things as they come,
You can gradually learn how to become happier and more relaxed in your life.
Always remember that you deserve to be relaxed.
Peaceful.
Content.
And safe.
So give yourself time to relax and recharge when you can.
Each moment of relaxation is healing for your mind.
Body and spirit.
Now just rest within the peace and the light lulling you deeper toward sleep.
Your body sinks further into comfort.
Your mind,
Drifting like the tide,
Soothes you.
Lulling you into a deep,
Peaceful sleep.
Slumber.
There is nothing more to do.
Only sleep.
Restful.
Sleep.
