Welcome to this guided relaxation. Find a comfortable seated position or lie down softly on your back. Allow your body to settle completely into the surface beneath you, feeling fully supported and safe.
Close your eyes gently. Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose, filling your lungs completely. Hold it for a brief, peaceful moment. Now exhale smoothly through your mouth, letting everything go.
Bring your awareness to your shoulders. Notice any tightness or weight you might be holding there. As you breathe out, invite your shoulders to drop away from your ears. Feel them softening with every breath.
Allow that soft relaxation to flow down into your arms, all the way into your hands and fingers. Unclench your hands. Allow your fingers to loosen, rest, and become completely heavy.
Now, turn your attention to your forehead and your jaw. Unclamp your teeth and let your tongue relax away from the roof of your mouth. Smooth the space between your eyebrows. Soften the tiny muscles around your eyes. Let your whole face soften into absolute stillness.
Notice the natural rhythm of your breathing now. You do not need to alter or control it. Simply feel the quiet rise and fall of your chest. With each inhale, you draw in fresh energy and stillness. With each exhale, you release any remaining tightness or worry.
Feel a gentle wave of warmth moving down from your shoulders, through your chest and abdomen, and all the way down through your legs to your feet. Every part of your physical body is resting now. You are completely supported by the ground beneath you. There is nowhere else you need to be right now. There is nothing you need to do.
Allow yourself to rest in this quiet, peaceful space. If thoughts begin to wander into your mind, simply acknowledge them without judgment and let them drift away like quiet clouds in a wide open sky.
Stay with this feeling of calm for a few moments longer. Notice how quiet your mind feels. Notice how relaxed your body has become. Anchor this deep sense of stillness within yourself.
As our time together slowly comes to a close, begin to bring your attention back to your physical surroundings. Notice the feeling of the surface beneath you. Feel the gentle temperature of the air on your skin. Listen softly to the sounds around you.
Gently begin to bring movement back to your body by wiggling your fingers and your toes. Take one more deep, nourishing breath in, filling your chest with fresh awareness.
Exhale completely, releasing the air slowly. When you are ready, gently open your eyes, taking this deep sense of ease and calm with you as you return to your day.
