And let's begin.
Please get into the most comfortable position for you to fall asleep now.
And if you would like to close your eyes and take some deep breaths from the stomach.
In and out.
and if you can make sure your stomach
gently goes out and in
and in and out
and ensure that you're not breathing
through your upper chest
or shoulders
you want to make sure your breathing
is coming from your stomach
and through your stomach
because that's where deep relaxing breaths come from.
If your breathing is coming from your upper shoulders and upper chest,
if those are the muscles which are moving up and down,
that is called upper chest breathing,
and it is more than likely that this breath can cause anxiety and stress
as you are not absorbing oxygen efficiently in your lungs.
so make sure you're doing a deep breath in and your stomach moves out
and when you do a deep breath out your stomach deflates
you may want to put a hand on your stomach
so you can concentrate on your stomach
moving out as you breathe in
and as you breathe out the stomach moves in
and deflates
and you can put one hand
on your stomach
and one hand on your upper chest
and concentrate
and make sure
that your chest
is as still as it can be
and the breath and the breathing
goes through the stomach
moving gently out
and then in
as you take deep breaths
you want to be as relaxed
and come to be as relaxed
and comfortable as possible
as you take that deep
refreshing air into your lungs
this is the place
where you will be relaxing in
and you will be relaxing
in this place tonight
this time is just for you
if you are needed
in any way
you can come back to reality
but otherwise you can sleep
here tonight
this is the place for you now
where you will be relaxing.
It's a place where you can safely drop off
if you need to
and take that deep breath in
and relax and breathe out
as these refreshing breaths
are here and there for you now
as you take in that oxygen.
Your body can detents
and it's making a signal
to you now
to your body that is time to relax
when you take these breaths
it's time to go to sleep
if that is what you need right now
to two more breaths we can concentrate
on relaxing our body
and relaxing all the muscles in our body
so be in that comfortable position
when you feel you're slightly sinking into the bed
and concentrate and imagine the muscles in your head
and imagine the muscles in your forehead.
Any tension that you've had throughout the day
can sometimes be locked into these muscles in your face
and as you imagine your forehead.
Imagine the muscles detensing and smoothing out.
Any tension released.
That relaxation feeling smoothing out.
your forehead. The lovely feeling of the muscles relaxing spreads down into your eyelids.
So your eyelids are just gently stretched over your eyes.
With all the tension gone, all those little muscles which surround the eyes are released
and gently just sit there and these muscles relax. And this feels
so nice and this relaxing feeling moves down into your cheeks into your jaw and any tension that
you have in your jaw is now relaxed and gone and any grinding in your teeth has gone and it feels so
good and your jaw will gently open becoming gently unclenched and this feeling moves down
into your neck and shoulders and tensing your neck removing any tension from the day
and this moves into your upper shoulders through into your back and then into your lower back
removing any aches and pains throughout the day that have been there through into your spine
and these aches and pains dissolve away
like soap dissolves in a bath
and the bubbles pop and go
and your chest feels relaxed
and it feels so good
but the feeling moves down into your stomach
where you've been taking these deep
good relaxing breaths
a natural way of breathing
and your breath sinks with your body
it sinks with your soul
and it sinks with your energy
and it probably has slowed down
to a more relaxed rhythm now
as you feel those deep beautiful breaths
gently coming in
through your nose
and this feeling now goes down into your hips
and any aches and pains disappear
as the feeling goes into your thighs, down into your calves,
and down into your feet, and the lovely relaxing feeling of due tension runs all the way up and down your leg.
Feeling so nice, feeling so good.
And the feeling heals and refreshes any weary muscles of the day.
And if you've been on your feet a lot, these muscles can ache
because they've been used how they're supposed to be used
and this lovely relaxing feeling can detents
and you can feel really, really good
and this feeling moves down now to the tips of your toes
so this relaxation feeling
is working from all the way to the top of your head
all the way down to the tips of your toes
and moves up and down,
back and forth,
through and through,
relaxing all your muscles,
and any tense thoughts disappear down.
And those thoughts and dreams you have
of relaxing and realising your body
come into your mind's eye
and you feel so nice
so good
so refreshed
and so calm after a hard day
this calmness is in your place now
this place where you are
and you enjoy this
for a few seconds
it feels so good now
and we can go on another journey now
where we take another deep breath in and out.
And we can go on a journey in our mind's eye now
and imagine a place
from your childhood or a place that you have never been before.
But we are going on a journey.
We are going to a relaxing fairground,
a travelling carnival in the middle of a park.
This may be a place you have visited before,
maybe when you were a child,
or it could be completely new to you now.
It's a beautiful blue sunny day
with some white clouds up in the sky.
And you can hear the birds flying around the park
chattering to themselves
and you walk along
and you hear the sounds of the carnival
in front of you
and you can see the rides and the stalls
decide to walk among them
and see the rows of amusements
you take in the sights
the smells
the people
it takes you back when you were a child
and when you loved and were excited to go to these places
and you really enjoyed these places
as you look around and take in
all the goings on to your right and you see a stall
and you decide to play a game here
and you see in front of you on the countertop
A few small beam bags in front of you, all piled up and in front of the counter.
A few feet away is a brightly coloured mural, with three small holes cut into it.
And the aim of the game is to throw the beambags into the holes,
where they will tumble to the ground, behind the mural, and you pick up.
pick up the first bean bag in your hand and you feel the weight of it and you see that it is a dark purple colour
and you take aim and you throw it at the first hole and it goes through perfectly and you feel so good and happy
but you completed the first step in winning the game
and you pick up the second beam bag
and you feel the white
and you can see that it is a dark blue colour
and you take aim at the second hole and you throw it
and it goes through the second hole
and tumbles to the floor behind the mural
and you feel so confident and proud that you have done this for a third time
and you pick up the third bean bag
and you realise that you'll get a prize
if you manage to throw this beanbag
through the last third hole
you feel the weight of the beanbag
and you toss it back and forth between your hands
and you notice that it is a dark green colour.
You throw the beam bag
and it goes through the third hole
and tumbles to the ground
and you feel so amazing and happy
that you have won a prize.
These games are very hard to win
and you're proud of yourself
that you've had the skill to do this
and you look over to the store owner
to see what prize you have won
and he gives you a prize
and it is a prize of dozens of balloons
grouped together into one large cord
the strings are long
and you look at the brightly coloured large healing balloons
and they look so beautiful
when you were holding them aloft above you.
There are reds, yellows, blues and greens,
and many of your favourite colours.
And you now decide to walk
and explore the rest of the park
away from the carnival
and you walk away
away from the noises of the fun fair
and you find a place
a place to be by yourself.
It may be a place you've recognised
or a place you've never been to before.
You find a place to be by yourself
and it may be a place you recognise
or a place you've never been to before
but this place is just for you now
and you go there
and you sit down with these balloons
you feel and hold the balloon cord and you feel attention in the cord as they move up
and float in the sky and the gentle breeze makes them move slowly
as you hold the cord and you feel this in the cord
as it holds your arm slightly tight and as you hold them you notice
that on your person you have weights in your pockets
and these represent the bad feelings, anxieties and negative thoughts that are holding you back.
These weights around your person represent everything you want to let go in your life.
You have noticed how heavy they are weighing and keeping you down,
keeping you in one place and you can let go of these negative weights which hold your negative thoughts.
today. They represent your deep subconscious thoughts that you do not want to keep hold of.
So think of everything that you want to leave behind now.
You notice that you have 10 weights in your pockets and these negativities and anxieties
will be left behind you and you take out the 10th weight from your pocket and you notice
that this has been bothering you
and you throw it to the ground
it was much heavier than you thought
and you feel already
so much more lighter
and then you take and throw the ninth
weight to the ground
and you feel better and lighter
again still
that you are leaving
all these negative thoughts behind
and you feel so much more lighter
and better again
and you reach around and you take the eighth weight
and you throw it to the ground with determination
and you feel so happy and delighted
and so much more deeply relaxed and at ease
that all these anxieties are being lifted from you
and you do this again with the seventh weight
imagining what these weights mean to you
and it tumbles to the ground
and you feel deeply calm and positive
about the time ahead
and very relaxed
going forward
you take the sixth weight
and you throw it down
and you feel deeply relaxed
and lighter again
and you take the fifth weight
and throw it to the ground
and you feel doubly relaxed
the relaxation has doubled
as you are making positive changes
to your subconscious mind
and you take the fourth of the third weight together
and these weights look so small
but seem to weigh the heaviest
and you let them drop to the ground
and you don't need these thoughts anymore
these anxious thoughts
you realize this now
and you take the second weight out of your pocket
and let this crash
to the ground with the thud
and again it makes you deeply doubly calm
and relaxed again
so utterly relaxed you didn't feel
that you could achieve this level of relaxation
and you feel so ecstatic
that you have found the strength to do this, the last weight.
And it is incredible that this is the heaviest one,
the last, the negative emotions and anxieties you have.
And you throw this to the ground with purpose.
And you feel so light that you start to fly and soar upwards.
And the balloons are taking you up now as you hold onto them.
and you feel amazing and wonderful.
So light and carefree.
With only positives ahead of you now
and as you drift up you see the fairground below you
and all the small people in stalls.
It looks like a children's model from up here
and the beautiful park is completely visible to you
as you float upwards holding the balloons
into the blue sky
and you look around
at their landscape before you
and you feel so good
because floating is so relaxing
so nice and so serene
all the weights holding you back
are gone now
and no one can see you now
this time is just for you
no one notices you up here
and he float and drift into the sky
and he float and drift into the clouds
soaring up
and this time is just for you now
and you drift upwards into the white fluffy clouds
and as he go into the clouds
the canopy of the clouds
you notice that you can walk on them
walk on the soft
fluffy cloud under your feet and in the distance you see it and you walk to it and it is a bed made of soft
fluffy cloud and you lie down into it and it feels so cozy as you sink into it and it feels so good
and here you can go to sleep and worry less about the day and you can think about the positives
the positives you have yourself going forward
and you feel the excitement and happiness
that you felt as a child
and you tote yourself in
and feel that you are sinking lovingly into the cloud
and the warm protecting embrace
that will protect you in the future
is here and around you and comes from your
subconscious mind and positivity will be in your thoughts going forward and these clouds
form a protective barrier against the anxieties that you have now left behind you
on the ground in those weights you feel so happy so amazing so calm and relaxed
and you realise it is the time to go to sleep now and you will
wish the universe. Good night, thank you. And you look forward to tomorrow as it is a new day
for you to be positive and to be yourself. So good night and sleep well.
