Lay on your back, with your hands at your side, palms up, feet gently fall outward. Beginning with your toes, say to yourself:
“My toes are relaxing, my toes are relaxed...”
“My feet are relaxing, my feet are relaxed...”
and on up the legs and center:
“My ankles are relaxing, my ankles are relaxed...” “My shins are relaxing, my shins are relaxed...” “My knees are relaxing, my knees are relaxed...” “My thighs are relaxing, my shins are relaxed...” “My hips are relaxing, my shins are relaxed...” “My torso is relaxing, my torso is relaxed...” “My heart is relaxing, my heart is relaxed...” “My organs are relaxing, my organs are relaxed...”
now the arms:
“My fingers are relaxing, my fingers are relaxed...” “My hands are relaxing, my hands are relaxed...” “My wrists are relaxing, my wrists are relaxed...” “My forearms are relaxing, my forearms are relaxed...” “My elbows are relaxing, my elbows are relaxed...” “My shoulders are relaxing, my shoulders are relaxed...”
finally the head:
“My neck is relaxing, my neck is relaxed...” “My tongue is relaxing, my tongue is relaxed...” “My eyes are relaxing, my eyes are relaxed...” “My jaws are relaxing, my jaws are relaxed...” “My face is relaxing, my face is relaxed...”
“I am completely, totally relaxed.”
