Take a deep, comfortable breath in through your nose, feeling your lungs expand fully like a balloon gently filling with light. [Pause 5 seconds] And as you exhale through your mouth, feel the first wave of relaxation flowing through your body like warm honey, melting away any tension. [Pause 7 seconds] With each breath, allow your muscles to soften and release, melting into the surface beneath you, as if you're being embraced by a cloud. [Pause 6 seconds] Notice the gentle rise and fall of your chest, like peaceful waves on a calm shore, each movement bringing deeper peace. [Pause 8 seconds]
With each inhale, you're drawing in calm, clear energy, like golden light filling your body, illuminating every cell with tranquility. [Pause 7 seconds] And with each exhale, you're releasing tension and mental clutter, watching it drift away like leaves on a gentle stream, carried far into the distance. [Pause 8 seconds]
I'm going to count down from ten to one, and with each number, you'll feel yourself drifting twice as deep into relaxation. [Pause 5 seconds] Ten... floating deeper. [Pause 4 seconds] Nine... muscles softening. [Pause 4 seconds] Eight... peace flowing through you. [Pause 4 seconds] Seven... drifting down. [Pause 4 seconds] Six... letting go completely. [Pause 4 seconds] Five... sinking deeper still. [Pause 4 seconds] Four... worries floating away. [Pause 4 seconds] Three... profound relaxation. [Pause 4 seconds] Two... almost there. [Pause 4 seconds] One... deeply relaxed. [Pause 8 seconds]
Starting at the crown of your head, feel a peaceful warmth spreading downward, like sunshine melting through morning frost. [Pause 6 seconds] Let it flow through your forehead, softening the muscles around your eyes, releasing any tension held there. [Pause 7 seconds] Your eyelids becoming heavy and tired, like soft velvet curtains growing heavier with each breath. [Pause 6 seconds] That's perfectly natural. [Pause 5 seconds] When they feel ready to close, allow them to do so, knowing you're entering a space of deep comfort and safety, like stepping into a warm sanctuary. [Pause 8 seconds]
Feel this soothing warmth flowing down through your jaw, releasing any tension there, like ice cream melting in warm sunshine. [Pause 7 seconds] Down through your neck, shoulders dissolving into pure relaxation, as if all the weight you've been carrying simply evaporates. [Pause 8 seconds] Through your arms, past your elbows, into your hands and fingers, becoming soft and weightless, as if floating in a warm, gentle sea. [Pause 9 seconds]
With each breath, you sink twice as deep into relaxation, like a feather slowly drifting down through still air. [Pause 7 seconds] The peaceful warmth now spreading through your chest, your back, your abdomen, like honey slowly flowing, coating every muscle in pure comfort. [Pause 8 seconds] Every muscle releasing, every breath taking you deeper, as if you're sinking into the softest cloud imaginable. [Pause 7 seconds] Down through your hips, your thighs, your knees, feeling heavy and wonderfully relaxed. [Pause 8 seconds] Through your calves, ankles, feet, and toes, until your entire body is enveloped in a cocoon of perfect relaxation, floating in a sea of tranquility. [Pause 10 seconds]
And as your eyes remain gently closed, imagine a gentle wave of tranquility washing over your entire being, like moonlight on still water, each wave carrying you deeper into this peaceful state. [Pause 9 seconds] That's right. [Pause 5 seconds] Letting go more and more with each breath, floating deeper and deeper into this peaceful state, like starlight slowly falling through evening sky. [Pause 10 seconds] Each moment bringing you closer to complete and perfect relaxation, as if you're being cradled in the arms of pure peace itself. [Pause 8 seconds]
