1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000 Sit in a comfortable chair or lie on the floor or on a bed. Ensure you will not be disturbed by any other noises. 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:15,000 If you become aware of sounds, just try to ignore them and let them leave your mind as soon as they enter. 3 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:22,000 Make sure the whole of your body is comfortably supported, including your arms, head, and feet. 4 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,000 Rest your arms on the arms of the chair with your feet flat on the floor if sitting. 5 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:34,000 Close your eyes. Feel the chair supporting your entire body, your legs, your arms, your head. 6 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:45,000 If you can feel any tension, begin to let it go. Take two slow and deep breaths and let the tension begin to flow out. 7 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:54,000 Become aware of your head. Notice how your forehead feels. Let any tension go until your forehead becomes smooth and wide. 8 00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,000 Let any tension go from around your eyes, your mouth, your cheeks, and your jaw. 9 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,000 Let your teeth part slightly and feel the tension go. 10 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,000 Now focus on your neck. Let the chair take the weight of your head and feel your neck relax. 11 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:19,000 Now your head is feeling heavy and floppy. Let your shoulders lower gently down. 12 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,000 Your shoulders are wider. Your neck is longer. 13 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:32,000 Notice how your body feels as you begin to relax. Be aware of your arms and your hands. Let them sink to the chair. 14 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:40,000 Now they are feeling heavy and limp. Think about your back, from your neck to your hips. 15 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,000 Let the tension go and feel yourself sinking down in the chair. 16 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000 Let your hips, your legs, and your feet relax and roll outwards. 17 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000 Notice the feeling of relaxation taking over. 18 00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,000 Now think about your breathing. Your abdomen gently rising and falling as you breathe. 19 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:07,000 Let your next breath be a little deeper, a little slower. 20 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,000 Now you are feeling completely relaxed and heavy. 21 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:18,000 Lie still and concentrate on slow, rhythmic breathing.
