Welcome to this relaxation session. Find a quiet, comfortable place where you won't be disturbed. If you're listening while seated or lying down, make sure you're in a safe position. While this recording is designed to help you relax deeply, you'll always be aware of your surroundings and can open your eyes at any time if needed. If you're driving or operating machinery, please save this recording for later. Take a moment now to adjust your position, loosen any tight clothing, and prepare to begin this journey to deep relaxation. [Pause 10 seconds]

Let's begin by taking a slow, deep breath in through your nose. [Pause 4 seconds] And as you exhale through your mouth, feel the tension starting to leave your body. [Pause 6 seconds] With each breath, allow yourself to settle more comfortably into your position. [Pause 5 seconds] Notice the gentle rise and fall of your chest and abdomen as you breathe naturally and easily. [Pause 6 seconds] And with each exhale, you might notice that relaxation flowing through your body like a warm, gentle wave. [Pause 7 seconds] Your mind may drift, and that's perfectly fine. [Pause 5 seconds] Just allow your thoughts to come and go like clouds in a peaceful sky. [Pause 8 seconds] Focus now on your feet and toes. [Pause 4 seconds] Feel them becoming heavy and relaxed.

[Pause 5 seconds] Your entire lower body becoming deeply relaxed. [Pause 8 seconds] This wave of relaxation continues upward, through your hips and lower back. [Pause 6 seconds] Spreading across your abdomen and chest. [Pause 5 seconds] Down your arms to your fingertips. [Pause 6 seconds] Up through your neck and shoulders, releasing any tension you've been holding there. [Pause 8 seconds] And finally, this peaceful feeling reaches your head, softening all the muscles in your face, your jaw unclenching, your forehead smooth and calm. [Pause 10 seconds]

And as you rest here in this peaceful place, you might notice a gentle breeze. [Pause 6 seconds] With each breath of this calm air, you drift twice as deep into relaxation. [Pause 8 seconds] The warm sunlight filters through the leaves above, creating a peaceful play of light and shadow. [Pause 7 seconds] Each beam of light helps you relax even more deeply. [Pause 8 seconds] You might notice a beautiful fountain nearby, its gentle sound helping you sink even deeper into this peaceful state. [Pause 10 seconds] Ten. [Pause 7 seconds] Drifting deeper. [Pause 6 seconds] Nine. [Pause 7 seconds] More and more relaxed. [Pause 6 seconds] Eight. [Pause 7 seconds] Letting go completely. [Pause 6 seconds] Seven. [Pause 7 seconds] Deeper still. [Pause 6 seconds] Six. [Pause 7 seconds] Perfect peace. [Pause 10 seconds]
