Take a deep, comfortable breath in through your nose, feeling the cool air flowing in. [Pause 4 seconds] And as you exhale through your mouth, allow your body to settle more comfortably into its position, like sinking into a soft cloud. [Pause 6 seconds] With each breath you take, you can allow yourself to relax more and more deeply, drifting down like a feather in a gentle breeze. [Pause 5 seconds]
Notice the gentle rise and fall of your chest as you breathe, creating a peaceful rhythm. [Pause 6 seconds] And with each exhalation, feel any tension simply melting away, like snow dissolving in warm sunlight. [Pause 7 seconds] Starting from the top of your head, feel a wave of warmth and relaxation flowing downward. [Pause 5 seconds] Let it move through your scalp, your forehead, your eyes. [Pause 6 seconds] Feel your jaw becoming soft and loose. [Pause 5 seconds]
This peaceful sensation continues down through your neck, dissolving any tension it finds. [Pause 6 seconds] Into your shoulders, which become heavy and comfortable. [Pause 5 seconds] Down your arms, through your elbows, into your forearms and hands. [Pause 7 seconds] Each finger relaxing completely. [Pause 5 seconds]
Your mind may drift, and that's perfectly fine, like clouds floating across a summer sky. [Pause 6 seconds] Simply allow my voice to guide you as you continue to relax more deeply, sinking into a state of perfect tranquility. [Pause 7 seconds]
The relaxation flows down through your chest and back, like warm honey spreading slowly downward. [Pause 6 seconds] Through your abdomen, releasing any remaining tension. [Pause 5 seconds] Into your hips, becoming heavier and more relaxed. [Pause 6 seconds]
Notice the weight of your body against the surface beneath you, as if you're being gently cradled. [Pause 7 seconds] The peaceful sensation continues down your thighs, through your knees. [Pause 5 seconds] Into your calves and ankles, all tension dissolving away. [Pause 6 seconds] Finally, reaching your feet and toes, each one becoming completely relaxed. [Pause 7 seconds]
Feel the points of contact where your body meets the surface, allowing each point to become heavier and more relaxed, as if you're slowly merging with the surface beneath you. [Pause 8 seconds] With each breath now, you can count yourself down deeper into relaxation, from ten to one. [Pause 5 seconds] Ten... drifting deeper. [Pause 4 seconds] Nine... twice as relaxed. [Pause 4 seconds] Eight... letting go completely. [Pause 10 seconds]
