Take a deep breath. As you let it out, close your eyes and relax. Now, relax your eyes and the muscles around your eyes, fully and completely. Relax them so completely, that as long as you maintain that relaxation, your eyes will just remain closed. When you've got them relaxed to that point give them a good try and satisfy yourself that they remain closed. (Pause)
Good. Now stop trying and relax them again.
Take that same quality of relaxation, and allow it to spread from the top of your head down to the tips of your toes in a warm wave of relaxation. (Pause) Good.
In a moment, I'm going to ask you to open your eyes and close them again. When you close them, just go 10 times deeper into relaxation. Open your eyes, now close them. (Pause) Go 10 times deeper. (Pause)
In a moment, I'm going to ask you to open your eyes and close them again. This time, just double your relaxation. Open your eyes, now close them. Double that relaxation. (Pause)
Good. In a moment I'm going to ask you to open your eyes and close them again. This time, just go much deeper. Open your eyes, now close them. Much deeper. All the way down. Good. (Pause)
In a moment, I'm going to pick up your left arm by the wrist. If you've followed instructions so far, and I think you've done very well, your arm will be loose and limp like a wet dish rag. Don't help me, let me do all the work. I'm going to lift your arm up just a few inches and then drop it, when I do, just allow it to make a nice satisfying plop, and go much deeper. Much deeper. In fact, each time I pick up your own arm and allow it to plop down, go much deeper into relaxation.
Good. Now we've got a good workable level of physical relaxation, let's add mental relaxation to it. In a moment, I'm going to ask you to begin saying the alphabet backwards out loud. Allow each letter you say to help your mind to grow more relaxed, calm and serene. You'll find, that within just a few letters, your mind can grow so relaxed, that the rest of the letters just fade away, grow dim and distant, become quiet and disappear altogether. When that happens, notice how good it feels. You'll say the alphabet backwards in this matter. Z... Y...(say slowly, in time with each of their exhales), allowing each letter to relax your mind so that it grows relaxed and serene like the surface of a still lake. Within just a few letters, the rest of them will just disappear. begin saying the alphabet backwards now
z
good
y
good
x Now just allow them to disappear completely. are they all gone, good |
