body, I want you to place your focus on that part. Try to tense it to clench or tighten up that specific muscle as much as you can. And then you can let go and release it as you let go. You can allow that portion of your body to relax completely. Let's start. with the top of your head. Tense up and tighten all the muscles around your forehead. Your eyes, your cheeks, even your nose for a few moments. Just completely relaxed.

Just get rid of all the tension. Your forehead feels smooth. All the tension lines have disappeared. the little muscles. Now tighten up all the muscles around your mouth, your chin and your jaw and just let them go and let them relax.

That's good. You're doing a great job. Now tighten up all the muscles in your neck area for a moment, the front parts and the back parts. Now tighten up your back part. shoulder area and your other arms as much as you can. Your shoulders drop.

Let your arms. Let them drink down. Tighten up all the muscles. From your elbows down through to your fore arms, your wrists, all the way down to your fingertips, clenching your fists closed as tight as you can. Just let go. to move from these muscles to be totally relaxed and still in you to breathe comfortably

deeply I'd like you to tighten all the muscles in your back area from your shoulders all the way down your back the muscles in your chest area continuing to relax muscles in your stomach hold it for a few seconds stress leave your body completely. They'll tighten up around your hips, your pelvis and even your thighs and just let go, allowing yourself to relax more and more. Now tighten up the muscles of your calves, ankles, your feet and toes. Make them tight and clench as much as you can. Everything in your body to relax. Relaxation feeling. flows from the top of your head all the way down to the bottom of your feet.

Bowing yourself now to relax completely this relaxation feeling flow through you up and down. It feels every part of you and you feel so good. You feel so at ease, so serene and You to just drop and relax more. Dropping into that comfort just how it should do. And you feel amazing with your shoulders dropping more ruddy and soul. Feel so relaxed. Every part of you.

Feel so relaxed. Every bone. Every tendon to every cell. Fills with deep relaxation. Your imagination. For a few moments now, like you to imagine, to think about, to think about yourself, lying down outside. It could be on the most comfortable piece of furniture. You can imagine, on just on the bear grass, even on a picnic blanket.

It's a warm, gorgeous day. The sun is beginning. beginning to sleep, be a place you've been before, or a place completely new to you. Temperature is just right, just the way you like it. It's like this place was just made for you, comfortable, completely relaxed, taking in the details, furniture, or the blanket, all the grass you're sitting on, or lying on, texture, Get it clear, real to you. You're so comfortable, can come back to this place again whenever you want to.

At the beautiful dawn sky, you notice the colours more now, the shades of red, those and oranges, many colours, the few scatter clouds. Effortlessly at the sky, we watch the clouds, begin to form into shapes and look like animals some look like trees your imagination begin to round

when suddenly you notice one of the clouds is nearly above you and it begins to form into the shape of a number it looks just like the number 25 and as the soft breeze

blows onto it You see it begin to dissolve And blow away As it as it You notice another cloud Coming by that falls into the number 24 And that one begins to dissolve into the soft breeze too You notice that this keeps happening

Slowly as the clouds Into each inch 23 Then dissolves away and then 22, and it continues this way, going down, that between each numbered cloud, as it blows away, as the next one falls to 20, that you are becoming so very tired, so very relaxed, find yourself, and 17, give yourself the permission

that this is what you want to do, 16, as you continue to see the clouds forming into the numbers. You to observe them slowly on your own as it goes by 13. You become deeply relaxed. You become twice as relaxed, twice as much as the next one before. Passing by, dissolving. You are so comfortable, so open. and you become deeper and deeper, deeper into a relaxed state.

7. Any outside sounds just help you to let go even more, for yourself to be there completely, totally relaxed, doubly, deeply relaxed, totally safe and completely at ease. You fall into a relaxed, wonderful dreaming state. you finally see the last cloud, form into the number one, and it dissolves and you allow yourself

to let go completely and utterly until finally you see the last cloud, form into the number one, and as it dissolves you allow yourself to let go completely, be deeply relaxed. So very, so comfortable, you notice more clouds. This one begins to take the shape of an animal. That begins with the letter A, once the animal has taken complete shapes that it changes back.

Of beautiful, pillowy white clouds again. In the bundle of flowers, begins to change shape. into an animal that begins. With the letter B, the animal shape begins to change back again. Into a beautiful bundle, you search out an animal shape that begins with the letter C. Continues going through the alphabet. The letter Z or Z, a different shape.

For each animal, so relaxing, so mind, the mind, feels free, cleansed and healed, and carry on. Watching the animal shapes in the sky, to listen to me anymore, speaking of call, will hear me, but don't try and listen to what I'm saying anymore. Do not follow my instructions. Your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind hears and pays attention to me. Just focus on the more shapes with the letter Z. You can just simply let go again, pre-relaxed.

Remember watching the cloud level shapes, where you still might be your letter C or D. But just keep going. It causes you to relax. Some of the shape, causes you to drift, easily and more readily relaxation. Positive thought feels so calm, so it is. Attention and stress has drained out of you. Within your mind, you are focused on your task or yourself. Body is life. You couldn't be more, couldn't be more, and you don't even

need to look at the clouds if you can just enjoy the scenery, the views, the views, Your own company feels so relaxed, that it's brought a happiness feeling. It just goes like the collaborating in the sky, dissolve and disperse, like the clouds in the sky. Any thoughts he want to let go off? You just imagine them being like the cloud in the sky. Just go. Dispers for good if your mind does wonder. It thinks of happy things, but you can still concentrate.

You revel in the peace of things just for relaxation. You're filled with wonder. You're filled with happiness. You're filled with calm, with serenity. Body might drop again, just relax again.
