Ten. [Pause 7 seconds] Notice a sphere of golden, healing light appearing above your head, radiating warmth and peace. As this light touches the crown of your head, feel it melting away any tension, any stress, dissolving completely. [Pause 12 seconds]
Nine. [Pause 7 seconds] That peaceful warmth flows down through your forehead, your temples, your eyes... softening and relaxing every tiny muscle around your eyes... through your cheeks... your jaw becoming loose and comfortable... even your tongue floating free from the roof of your mouth. [Pause 15 seconds]
Eight. [Pause 7 seconds] Like warm honey dripping slowly downward, the relaxation cascades through your neck and shoulders. Feel each muscle fiber releasing, unwinding, letting go of any stored tension. Your shoulders dropping lower and lower, becoming so heavy and relaxed. [Pause 15 seconds]
Seven. [Pause 7 seconds] Your arms become wonderfully heavy, as if floating in a warm, therapeutic bath.

Each finger becoming loose and comfortable, any remaining tension simply melting away. [Pause 15 seconds]
Six. [Pause 7 seconds] The peaceful sensation flows through your chest and back like soft, warm rain. With each breath, your chest rises and falls in perfect rhythm, while waves of relaxation ripple through every muscle in your back, releasing any knots of tension, leaving only deep tranquility. [Pause 15 seconds]
Five. [Pause 7 seconds] Halfway there now, as this profound relaxation spreads through your abdomen. Each breath brings deeper peace, like gentle ocean waves washing over smooth sand. Your entire torso becoming so heavy, so comfortable, so completely at ease. [Pause 15 seconds]
Four. [Pause 7 seconds] Your legs become delightfully heavy and relaxed, as if sinking into the softest cloud. Feel the warmth and comfort flowing through your hips, your thighs becoming loose and heavy, supported and safe. Like warm sunlight soaking into tired muscles, all tension simply dissolves away. [Pause 15 seconds]
Three. [Pause 7 seconds] From your knees to your ankles, every muscle releases completely. Imagine warm, golden light surrounding your lower legs, penetrating deeply into every muscle, every fiber, bringing profound relaxation and comfort. [Pause 15 seconds]
Two. [Pause 7 seconds] Even your feet and toes now, becoming perfectly relaxed. Feel them becoming warm and heavy, as if wrapped in the softest, warmest blanket. Any remaining tension simply flows out through your toes, leaving pure relaxation behind. [Pause 15 seconds]
One. [Pause 7 seconds] You're now wrapped in a cocoon of complete relaxation, floating peacefully in a space of perfect calm and serenity. Like being suspended in warm, crystal-clear water, every part of your body is supported, safe, and deeply relaxed. [Pause 15 seconds]
With each passing moment, you drift twice as deep, like a feather floating gently downward on a calm summer breeze. Floating lower... and lower... deeper... and deeper... [Pause 12 seconds]
Every sound becomes a lullaby, guiding you deeper. Every breath carries you further into tranquility. Every heartbeat gently rocks you in this ocean of perfect peace. [Pause 15 seconds]
And as you continue floating in this profound state of relaxation, you might notice that you can drift even deeper still... as if discovering new levels of comfort and serenity with each passing moment... [Pause 15 seconds]
