Now, as you continue drifting deeper and deeper into this peaceful state, imagine yourself slowly descending through layers of the most exquisite comfort. [Pause 15 seconds] Each layer you pass through multiplies your relaxation by ten times. [Pause 12 seconds]
The first layer feels like drifting through the softest clouds you've ever imagined, like floating on wisps of pure white cotton. [Pause 20 seconds] Feel that gentle softness caressing your entire body, starting at your toes, flowing up through your feet, your ankles. [Pause 15 seconds] Moving up through your calves and knees, spreading that cloud-like comfort. [Pause 15 seconds]
Sinking down now to the second layer, where waves of peace embrace you completely. [Pause 20 seconds] Like being wrapped in a cocoon of warm sunlight, feel that sensation flowing through your thighs, your hips, your lower back. [Pause 15 seconds] Each muscle releasing, softening, letting go. [Pause 15 seconds]
Drifting down to the third layer, where perfect tranquility surrounds you like warm, healing water. [Pause 20 seconds] This soothing sensation flows through your stomach, your chest, your upper back. [Pause 15 seconds] Every breath draws you deeper into this relaxing space. [Pause 15 seconds]
Your shoulders softening now, tension melting away like snow in warm sunshine. [Pause 20 seconds] This peaceful feeling flows down your arms, through your elbows, into your hands and fingers. [Pause 15 seconds] Each finger becoming completely relaxed and comfortable. [Pause 15 seconds]
The relaxation reaches your neck now, gently releasing any remaining tension. [Pause 20 seconds] Flowing up through your face, your forehead becomes smooth and peaceful. [Pause 15 seconds] Your jaw softens, your tongue relaxes. [Pause 15 seconds]
Your mind becomes quieter with each passing moment, like stars fading at dawn. [Pause 20 seconds] Thoughts drift away like leaves on a gentle stream. [Pause 15 seconds] Everything outside fades further and further into the distance. [Pause 20 seconds]
Like a gentle fade between scenes in a dream, you drift deeper still. [Pause 25 seconds] Ten times deeper with every breath. [Pause 15 seconds] Perfectly safe, perfectly peaceful, perfectly relaxed. [Pause 30 seconds]
