Take a gentle breath in through your nose, feeling the cool air flow in. [Pause 4 seconds] And release it slowly through your mouth, letting warmth flow out. [Pause 5 seconds] With each breath, allow your body to find its own natural rhythm, just like waves on a peaceful ocean. [Pause 6 seconds] No need to force or control anything. [Pause 4 seconds] Just like your body knows how to digest food without your conscious control, it knows exactly how to breathe. [Pause 5 seconds]
Notice how your chest rises and falls, like a gentle tide. [Pause 4 seconds] How your belly expands and contracts, creating a soothing rhythm. [Pause 5 seconds] Each breath bringing you deeper into relaxation. [Pause 6 seconds] Let this peaceful feeling flow down from the top of your head, like warm honey slowly dripping downward. [Pause 7 seconds] Feel it moving through your scalp, softening any tension there. [Pause 6 seconds] Flowing down across your forehead, releasing any pressure. [Pause 5 seconds]
Moving down through your face, relaxing your eyes, your cheeks, your jaw. [Pause 6 seconds] Down through your neck, dissolving any tightness. [Pause 5 seconds] Spreading across your shoulders like a warm, heavy blanket. [Pause 7 seconds] Down your arms, through your elbows, into your hands and fingers, becoming heavier and more relaxed with each breath. [Pause 8 seconds]
And as you continue breathing naturally, bring your attention to any sounds in your environment. [Pause 4 seconds] Rather than trying to block them out, allow them to fade into the background. [Pause 5 seconds] Like gentle waves on a distant shore, each sound becomes a lullaby. [Pause 6 seconds] Every noise you hear simply confirms how deeply relaxed you're becoming. [Pause 7 seconds]
Feel yourself sinking deeper, as if you're being held in the most comfortable hammock. [Pause 6 seconds] With each breath, you sink ten times deeper into relaxation. [Pause 5 seconds] Drifting down, down, down, like a feather floating on a gentle breeze. [Pause 8 seconds] Each moment bringing you into a deeper state of peaceful calm. [Pause 10 seconds]
