A New Perspective
Settle yourself comfortably into
your chair, your mind will concentrate on my words. You'll find yourself
relaxing as you read each word one by one. We begin by focusing on your
breathing. You will find yourself relaxing and concentrating more and more on
letting go. As you become more and more aware of your breath, you'll notice how
naturally tension simply flows out of your body. Take a deep breath in ... now
hold it ... just a bit longer ... and now release it. Notice how relaxing it is
to let your breath out. Another deep, deep breath ... filling your lungs
completely ... hold it ... hold it ... now slowly release ... feeling the
tension flowing out. Each breath more relaxing. Feel relaxation flowing in with
each breath in ... tension flowing out with each breath out ... relaxation in
... tension out ... relaxation in ... tension out.
Notice now, how much more relaxed you are already. Now
slowly take a breath in through your nose, and follow the stream of air inward.
Feel the air flowing though your nasal passages. It becomes warmer and helps
you to relax as it flows downward, through your throat, into the upper portions
of your lungs. The air continues to stream downwards, filling your chest,
pushing your ribs outward, expanding the cavity above your stomach. Draw the
breath down until your lungs are completely full ... and hold ... and hold ...
and hold ... now releasing slowly through your mouth. The stale air flows
outward, upward so easily and naturally, taking all tension with it. Feel how
warm the air is as it flows over your tongue and lips. Feel how much more
relaxed you are.
As you learn to focus on your breathing, it becomes easier
and easier to relax. It's natural to relax more and more as you focus on your
breathing. My words will help guide you in learning to relax. Simply follow my
words, noticing the natural gentle flow of air in and out as you focus on your
breathing, and feel yourself relaxing more and more. Enjoy the feeling of
continuing to relax ... relaxing deeply ... as you focus on your breathing.
Let's take another deep breath now ... focusing on it
flowing in ... filling your lungs ... so relaxing ... holding it ... and now
slowly releasing ... letting go ... relaxing more deeply. Good. The more you
focus on your breathing, the more deeply you'll be able to relax. You'll find
it very, very enjoyable to focus on your breathing, and to relax even more deeply.
Each breath relaxes you ... more. Relaxes you ... deeply. Each breath more and
more relaxed as you listen to my voice. Breathe ... and relax ... breathe ...
and relax ... each breath ... more relaxing. Focus on your breathing, and feel
yourself relax even more ... deeply relaxed.
Now, let's turn our attention to your body. Continue to
follow my words, as I help you to deepen your relaxation. As you do, you'll
feel your body let go, and enjoy the deep relaxation as it does. Let's begin
with your toes. Curl your toes up, and tense them. Tighten the muscles, and
become aware of the sensations. Hold that tension ... even tighter. Now release
... and relax. Release ... and relax. Feel your toes relax. Feel the tension
flow out of them, leaving them loose and relaxed.
Tighten your legs now by pulling your calves up against your
thighs, and bringing your heels as close to your buttocks as you can manage. A
bit tighter now. And hold it. Feel the tension. Tighter. Hold it. Now release
... and relax. Release ... and relax. Feel the muscles in your legs become
relaxed ... very relaxed. Feel the sensations as all the muscles let go.
Tighten your buttocks now, pulling them upward. Push them
upward as far as you can, and feel how tight and tense the muscles are. Now
release ... and relax. Release ... and relax. So soothing as all muscles let
go, becoming deeply, deeply relaxed.
Now your stomach. Tighten the muscles. Pull your stomach in,
and tighten it. Feel how the muscles want to relax. Hold them tight. Hold it.
Now release ... and relax. Release ... and relax. Your muscles become so limp,
loose, relaxed. It's so wonderful to feel your body let go.
Your chest now. Take in a breath and hold it. As you do,
pull your shoulders inward, and use the muscles of your chest to push your
breastbone towards your back. Tight. Tense. Hold it. Now release ... and relax.
Release ... and relax. Warm soothing breaths now. Tension flows out so easily,
so naturally. Each muscle is left feeling wonderfully relaxed.
Tighten your jaw as tight as possible and strain your head
upward as far as possible. Feel the tension in your neck. Become aware of all
the places in your neck that feel tense. A bit tighter. Now release ... and
relax. Release ... and relax. The muscles in your neck become heavy, limp,
relaxed. So wonderful to feel that heavy relaxation.
Form both hands into fists now, and strain outward with them
as far as possible ... as far as you can reach. Stretch. Hold it. Feel the arms
start to tremble. Now release ... and relax. Release ... and relax. Your arms
are heavy and relaxed. Notice how delightful it is to feel your body let go.
Now purse your lips, and scrunch up your face. Feel how
tight and tense your lips, your mouth, your cheeks are. Tighten. Now release
... and relax. Release ... and relax. Your face becomes smooth ... beautifully
relaxed.
Now press your eyelids tightly shut. As tight as you can.
And a bit tighter. Feel those muscles straining. Hold them. Now release ... and
relax. Release ... and relax. Your eyes remain transfixed, absorbing my words.
Your mind feels so relaxed, so loose, so pleasant. Feel your mind clear and
relaxed . It's so lovely to feel completely relaxed. Not wanting to think. Too
relaxed to worry. Too relaxed to fight. Completely relaxed. Enjoying that
sensation. Heavy ... closed ... relaxed ... deeply relaxed ... completely
relaxed.
Your whole body is completely relaxed now. All the muscles
are limp and heavy. There's no need to move. Your body's at rest, at peace,
deeply and completely relaxed. Each time you follow my words feel your body let
go, your relaxation will deepen. So pleasant and natural to follow my voice,
and relax completely. So wonderful to respond to my voice, and feel your body
let go.
Spend a bit of time now enjoying the feeling of deep
relaxation. You've enjoyed my words; enjoying following my words. Now spend a
few quiet minutes becoming even more aware of how deeply, deeply relaxed you
are, how much you love that feeling, and how much you want to return to this
place of deep relaxation each time you follow my words.
You picture yourself as a very responsible and
proactive person. You become more and more aware that it's your responsibility
to take actions now and bring into reality your dreams, desires, and goals.
Each and everyday you become more accepting and loving of the fact that you and
only you are responsible for the attainment of your desires, goals, and dreams.
My words are your guide, and they give you direction. My words relax you and
allow you to understand what you have already known. It is making more and more
sense to you that this acceptance of your responsibility and the need for
taking action in all areas of your life
empowers you, as you begin to understand and
view this as FREEDOM.
You begin to relax and see that this freedom you now have
from accepting your responsibility for your life and taking actions allows
infinite doors to open up and you can desire, dream up and achieve ANYTHING
your creativity and imagination can come up with. Each and everyday you become
more aware of the power, intelligence,
and resources you already possess or is available to you for taking deliberate actions and getting anything you want
NOW.
You become more and more aware of how ready you are to have
whatever you want. My words have let you relax and to become aware of the
truth. You are ready, it is time, and NOW is the time to take actions to
achieve all that you've ever wanted. You become more aware each and everyday of
how creative, imaginative, intelligent and resourceful you are, and that you
can easily take immediate actions now
or use your resourcefulness, creativity, imagination, and wit to find the
appropriate actions. You begin to energetically take more powerful, motivated,
effective and direct actions now with confidence, commitment, and perseverance.
Each and everyday you become more and more aware of how ready, deserving, and
willing you are to accept, have, and achieve your goals.
You become more and
more confident excited in the actions you take as you start to see how much you enjoy and love taking creative,
productive, calculated, and passionate
actions now. And as you see more and more that the manifestation of your
desired life comes from taking responsibility and immediate actions now, you
start to give yourself more and more permission to achieve and have joy in all
that you desire. It becomes crystal clear that you are ready and deserve what
you want NOW, and that you already have all that you need to DO what you must
and persevere in order to achieve anything you desire.
You will find
that you must go back and read this over and over as you relax more and
more. The more you read, the more you
will relax. The more you feel at peace. The more your mind clears. The more you
feel the power that you gain by relaxing and looking at yourself. The more you
read the more your mind will absorb the words. Your soul will absorb the
commands. Your body will crave the relaxation. Your mind will crave the loss of
stress. Reading my worlds will always relax you. Reading my words will open up
your mind to your own needs and desires. You wish to read these words over and
over as they help you to relax. My words seem to guide you and create a peace
in your life. You must read these words over and over. You must let go of the
barriers holding you back. The more you read, the more at peace you become. You
must go back to the beginning and continue to relax, continue to learn.
When you finally feel that it is time to awaken, you may go
on. If you need to continue to relax, you must go back and read my words again.
On the count of three you will awaken remembering
everything.
One
Realizing your going to awaken...feeling refreshed
Two
Your mind and body waking up now...feeling wonderful...and
alive
And
Three! Fully awake
