172 Relax Now With The Lord's Prayer, 23rd Psalm - No Intro

This meditation has no introduction and goes straight into progressive deep relaxation. So please do not drive or do anything but sit or lie down where you can let go safely.
In this beautiful meditation with the Lord's Prayer, you are invited to let go and trust something Higher than your personal self. Nondenominational and nonreligious, simply tune in to Who or What you Trust and be willing to begin to let go. I made this meditation for my 97-year-old mother and am sharing it with you too. For many it may facilitate deep release, instant relaxation, lower blood pressure, and other health benefits related to stress release.
These podcasts are best in sequence from podcast one forward because each is built on the last. All are here and free.
Though I am a psychotherapist, these podcasts are offered to be spiritually helpful, not psychotherapy. Please reach out to a professional if ever needed.

Let's begin to relax. Take a nice breath in. And let it go as you begin to relax. You're invited to let go and trust something higher than your personal self. In this meditation with the Lord's Prayer, Simply tune in to who or what you trust. And be willing to begin to let go. Relax. Into what's higher than your personal self. Let it do the work. You just relax. Let it be in charge. Trust. You just relax. You are being cared for perfectly. Rest in those strong hands. Rest. Relax and let go. Trust. You can begin to do that now. Release. Relax. And rest. Let go as I read the 23rd Psalm. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. Relax. He makes me lie down in green meadows. He leads me beside quiet and still waters. He does restore my soul. Take it in. Relax. Trust. Deeper and deeper, He does restore my soul. Begin to feel that. He guides me in paths that are right for me and my life. For his namesake. And even though it can be scary. I walk through the valley of the shadow of darkness, And I fear no evil, For you are with me. Your rod and your staff, They comfort me. Let go, Relax, Release, Trust. You prepare a table for me in front of all of my enemies. And you anoint my head with oil, My cup overflows with goodness and happiness, And you fulfill me deeply And surely, Goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life. And I will dwell in the house of the Lord. Forever. Let go. Trust. As you go deeper and deeper relaxed. And as you relax, Let all the muscles in your scalp Release, Relax, And let go. Down through your forehead. Trust. Relax, Let go. Arrives. All the muscles around your eyes, Relax. You're in the hands of the Lord. So let go. Down through your jaw. And all the muscles in your face, Back of your neck, The front of your neck. Down through your shoulders. In your upper back. Your lower back. Your chest, Your stomach. Let go and down through all the muscles in your upper arms. Your lower arms, Your hands, Your fingers. Down through your hips. Your thighs and your knees. Deeper and deeper relaxed. Down through your calves and your ankles and all the muscles in your feet. Including your toes, From the top of your head all the way down through the tips of your toes. You relax deeper and deeper. And deeper relax. Trusting. Deeper and deeper. And you can continue to relax and trust a little more deeply, A little more deeply, Deeper and deeper for as long as you would like. You are in the hands of the Lord always. And you are safe forever. Blessings.
