Take a deep, comfortable breath in through your nose, feeling the cool air flowing in. [Pause 4 seconds] And as you exhale, allow your body to settle more deeply into its resting position. [Pause 5 seconds] With each breath, notice the gentle rise and fall of your chest, like peaceful waves on a calm shore. [Pause 6 seconds] And with each exhale, you can allow any tension to simply drift away, like leaves floating downstream. [Pause 7 seconds]
Focus now on the space between your eyebrows, feeling a pleasant heaviness there, like warm honey slowly spreading. [Pause 5 seconds] This soothing heaviness begins to flow downward, cascading through your eyes like a gentle waterfall of relaxation. [Pause 6 seconds] Your eyelids becoming heavier and heavier, as though delicate weights were resting upon them. [Pause 6 seconds]
Let this peaceful sensation flow down through your face now, softening your jaw, relaxing your cheeks. [Pause 5 seconds] Notice how this comfort spreads down your neck, like warm sunlight melting away any remaining tension. [Pause 6 seconds] Your shoulders becoming loose and relaxed, any burden simply dissolving away. [Pause 7 seconds]
You might notice that blinking is becoming slower, more deliberate, each blink drawing you deeper into this peaceful state. [Pause 6 seconds] With each breath, you sink twice as deep into relaxation. [Pause 5 seconds] And when your eyes feel ready to close, simply allow them to do so, like curtains gently drawing closed at the end of a perfect day. [Pause 8 seconds]
That's right, letting your eyes close when they're ready, knowing you can adjust your position at any time to become even more comfortable. [Pause 6 seconds] As you rest here, imagine yourself slowly descending a beautiful staircase, each step taking you deeper into relaxation. [Pause 7 seconds] Ten steps down... deeper relaxed... [Pause 5 seconds] Nine... sinking further... [Pause 5 seconds] Eight... every muscle softening... [Pause 5 seconds] Seven... drifting deeper still... [Pause 5 seconds] Six... halfway down now... [Pause 5 seconds] Five... even more relaxed... [Pause 5 seconds] Four... peace flowing through you... [Pause 5 seconds] Three... almost there... [Pause 5 seconds] Two... letting go completely... [Pause 5 seconds] One... deeply, peacefully relaxed. [Pause 10 seconds]
