Guided Relaxation Technique

  • Sit comfortably and close your eyes very softly and very gently.

  • Let’s begin with the toes. Wiggle your toes. Now feel them relax.

  • Relax your ankles and feet. Feel energy move up from the earth… up your feet to your knees relaxing the legs.

  • Relax your thighs. The energy moves up your legs … relaxing them.

  • Now, deeply relax your hips … stomach … and waist.

  • Relax your back. From the top to the bottom the entire back is relaxed.

  • Relax your chest … and shoulders. Feel your shoulders simply melting away…

  • Relax your upper arms. Relax each muscle in your forearms … your hands … right up to your fingertips.

  • Relax the neck muscles. Move your awareness up to your face. Relax the jaws … mouth … nose … eyes … earlobes … facial muscles … forehead … all the way to the top of your head.

  • Feel how your whole body is now completely relaxed.

  • Move your attention to your heart. Rest there for a little while. Feel immersed in the love and light in your heart.

  • Remain still and quiet, and slowly become absorbed in yourself.

  • Remain absorbed for as long as you want, until you feel ready to come out.
