Take a deep, comfortable breath in through your nose, feeling your chest expand gently. [Pause 4 seconds] And as you exhale, allow your body to settle more deeply into its position, like a soft blanket settling onto a bed. [Pause 6 seconds] With each breath, notice how your attention naturally begins to focus inward, just as morning fog slowly settles into a peaceful valley. [Pause 5 seconds]
Feel the weight of your head becoming heavier, any tension in your scalp and forehead beginning to melt away. [Pause 7 seconds] Let this wave of relaxation flow down through your face, softening the muscles around your eyes, your cheeks, your jaw. [Pause 8 seconds] Just like when you find yourself absorbed in an interesting video, your mind can easily become focused on one thing, letting everything else fade into the background. [Pause 6 seconds]
Notice the gentle weight of your shoulders, allowing them to become heavy and loose. [Pause 5 seconds] This comfortable heaviness flows down through your arms, past your elbows, through your forearms, into your wrists and hands. [Pause 8 seconds] Each finger relaxes, one by one, as if warm honey is slowly dripping from fingertip to fingertip. [Pause 7 seconds]
With each breath, you might notice the rise and fall of your chest becoming slower, more peaceful. [Pause 6 seconds] Let this relaxation spread through your torso, like warm sunlight slowly moving across a peaceful garden. [Pause 8 seconds] Feel the surface supporting your back, allowing any tension to drain away into it. [Pause 7 seconds]
Your legs become heavier with each breath, relaxation flowing like a gentle stream down through your thighs. [Pause 6 seconds] Past your knees, through your calves, ankles, and into your feet. [Pause 8 seconds] Even your toes can relax, becoming soft and comfortable. [Pause 7 seconds]
With each breath, you can allow your eyes to grow tired, just as they do after looking at a screen for too long. [Pause 6 seconds] When they feel ready to close, simply allow them to do so, like heavy curtains drawing closed at the end of a peaceful day. [Pause 8 seconds]
And as your eyes close, you can begin to drift into a pleasant state of relaxation, floating like a feather on a gentle breeze. [Pause 7 seconds] Just like scrolling through content, your mind can scroll through peaceful, relaxing sensations, each one taking you deeper into comfort. [Pause 8 seconds] Each breath takes you deeper into this comfortable state, counting down from ten to one in your mind, each number doubling your relaxation. [Pause 10 seconds]
