0:01Let's begin by loosening the shoulders and the chest.

0:10And when you feel ready, just allow the eyes to slowly close.

0:23Bring your awareness to rest with this verse and prayer, "The Lord created you." And again, "The Lord created you." Bring your attention to the heartbeat.

1:07Allow its rhythm to relax your body, letting the arms and legs become heavy.

1:36Now bring your awareness to the top of the head.

1:42Allow the head to soften all the way down the face, softening the skin on the face and the eyes.

2:22Soften the throat and the back of the neck.

2:45Soften the collarbone, the shoulders, and the arms, releasing the elbows.

3:25Let the wrists and the hands relax, softening the chest and the stomach, releasing the hips and the thighs, the knees.

4:19Relax the calves down to the ankles.

4:41Now bring your attention to the breath, just noticing the inhale and the exhale, taking some nice, slow, deep, full breaths.

5:34In through the nose and letting go out through the mouth.

6:04Deep breath in, and feel the body expand.

6:13And slowly exhaling, letting all the air out of the lungs.

6:32Let the breath be natural.

6:36Let the breath naturally relax the body.

6:55Feel the stomach and the chest rise with each inhale.

7:05And feel the body relax with each exhale.

7:43Feel the weight of the body in the bed or the chair.

9:11Now, let go of the breath.

9:17Let it find a nice, natural, effortless rhythm.

9:25Simply let go.
