I can't really claim this as mine, of course, because
it's a 'standard' relaxation script, notable only for it's brevity
(21/2 minutes, approximately). It's designed for use with a long-ish
deepener.
Now I want you to think about the top of your head... many people
don't realise that tension often starts in the little muscles of
the scalp, so I want you to think about those little muscles and
the skin of your scalp and just allow them to let go and relax...
now all the muscles of your face, just let them let go slack...
your forehead and your eyes and eyelids... the cheeks, mouth and
jaw muscles... it's a wonderful feeling when you let your face totally
relax, because you can actually feel the skin settling, smoothing
out... it might mean that your mouth opens slightly, but whatever's
best to you, just let it happen... unclenching your teeth and relaxing
your tongue, because the more you physically relax, the more you
can mentally relax... thinking about your neck and shoulder muscles
now, and into the tops of your arms, letting all tensions drain
away as you think on down through your elbows... into your forearms...
down through your wrists and into your hands... right the way down
into the very tips of your fingers and tips of your thumbs... just
letting all those muscles let go and relax... and now think about
your breathing, noticing that you're breathing even more steadily,
even more slowly, as you relax more and more, so you can let any
tension in the chest area simply drain away as you think on down
to your stomach muscles, letting those muscles relax, too... think
down into your back now, the long muscles either side of the spine,
just let those muscles relax... and your waist... and your main
thigh muscles, as you think on down through your knees, down through
the shins and calves, just allowing all those areas to relax and
let go, as you think on down through your ankles, through your feet,
into the very tips of your toes... all the muscles of your body
beautifully relaxed and easy... very lazy...
