And on the third breath, as you exhale, you simply say to yourself, Please allow your eyes to gently close. You feel a wave of relaxation. Sweep over you.

Just notice how your eyes feel and ask them to relax even more. The little movement in your eyes is called a rapid eye movement and is completely normal. These small eye movements allow for you to feel calm. Notice how the back of your head feels against the surface that it is touching.

Starting point is 00:06:10 How heavy does your head feel right now? Let your focus move to your nose and feel the slight sensations of the air moving in and out with your breath. When you breathe in, imagine that you are being filled with calmness. And when you breathe out, imagine your body, feels heavy and deeply relaxed. Good, that's good. Now focus on your ears. Notice how they feel what they hear around you.

Starting point is 00:07:10 Try to hear every single noise. When sounds come into your ears, they act as little waves of relaxation, taking you easy. Taking you even deeper, notice the sound of my voice, and how soothing and nice it is. From here forward, you can only hear my voice guiding you. All of the sounds, passing though, only take you deeper into a state of relaxation. Now focus on your mouth.

Starting point is 00:08:14 How does it feel and what do you notice? Can you sense the flavour of something you've recently tasted, perhaps you can imagine, biting into a fresh slice of lemon? And you notice how your mouth waters. That's good, very good, and you move your focus down to your to your neck and if there is any tension, just ask it to release a little more. Notice how your neck feels right now and just feel all the sensations in your neck. Now focus on your shoulders and move your attention slowly going down each arm. Down all the way to take you

Feel them gently expanding and contracting with your breath. Delivering of Oxygen to your body, now your focus, to move down your vital organs and digestive system.

Your legs have been taking you so many places over the years and they deserve to fully relax.

Starting point is 00:13:20 allowing your subconscious mind to be present right now. From now on, you choose to be around, you choose to be calm, you choose to be in control of all you do because your health is very important to you. You know how to relax.

Starting point is 00:14:25 Now hear yourself saying Each day, every way I get better And better To make change I challenge myself Change is not comfortable In fact

Starting point is 00:14:57 It is inconvenient So if I feel comfortable with a change I am making. I am probably not extending myself enough. I have a negative thought. I acknowledge it. I acknowledge that I feel this way, and then I release it.

Starting point is 00:15:27 When another negative thought arises, I catch it quickly, and I say with confidence, I acknowledge that, that part of me feels this way but this thought does not help me right now each day in every way I get better and better

Starting point is 00:16:00 whenever I am presented with feelings of stress I know my breath is there to soothe me and guide me into relaxing Every single day, I become more aware of all the good things going on in my community and in the world around me. When I feel that darkness is surrounding me, I know that the way to see light is to take three deep breaths, relaxing my mind and body by doing so. every way I get better and better.

Starting point is 00:17:09 From now on, I challenge every single negative and unproductive thought that arises from this point forward. Whenever you find yourself having negative, unproductive thoughts, you will immediately say to yourself the word, Let me repeat that to you so that is perfectly clear. Whenever you find yourself having negative, unproductive thoughts, you will immediately say to yourself the word stop. And as soon as you say the word stop, you'll find that the negative thoughts you are having will just have a word stop. will just disappear. This gives you the opportunity to start a new positive thought process.

Starting point is 00:18:25 How do you feel? Notice how you feel right now. Take great note of exactly how you feel. You can just drift off to sleep now. Feeling so relaxed and ready to take on the day tomorrow. with everything that you've learned.
