LONG PAUSE Now, take a moment and gently scan your body. You may notice some areas of tension and stress, and that’s okay. Feel yourself breathe out, And release it out of you.  Breathe, And release.  Breathe, And relax.  LONG PAUSE See if you can connect with your heartbeat, hearing its gentle rhythm  in the distance. LONG PAUSE As you take another breath, the rhythm softly fades, leaving you comfortable and safe  in your bed. LONG PAUSE Now, picture a game  of tug-of-war, with you on one side grasping a thick, tightly coiled rope  that goes on forever. PAUSE Some days, you may feel like you’re pulling at a that rope, and it seems to pull  with a great power against you. PAUSE So take a deep breath, and see if you can imagine loosening your grip on the rope, gingerly letting your fingers go. PAUSE Try to imagine each finger raising slowly, and each time a finger lifts, the tension in the rope releases. PAUSE And with each finger that floats upward, you notice that the rope  starts to lightly fall away. and your hands are free. PAUSE Now, picture yourself placing a hand over your heart, a hand that feels free from the rope of tension. PAUSE And, as you touch your heart,  breathe in slowly and let the calmness radiate from your heart. PAUSE While touching your heart, see if you can imagine waves of peace  flowing from your heart out into your body. PAUSE As the waves move through you, your body pulses just a bit, as it syncs to the waves, and then releases all the stress it holds. PAUSE The heart waves are flowing into your head and neck, Sending out their calming energy. PAUSE Each rhythmic wave gently encourages the muscles to unfreeze,  to thaw in relaxation. PAUSE Now, picture the heart wave traveling down your back, passing on waves of  light and healing. PAUSE And peaceful waves touch all the muscles in the back, softly uncoiling them  and melting them like butter. PAUSE Take a moment now and breathe, and feel the warm relaxation in the muscles touched by your heart wave. PAUSE And as you breathe again, imagine the heart wave pulsing, sending healing signals  to the chest and arms. PAUSE And while your chest and arms sink softly into your bed, visualize the heart wave moving toward your center. PAUSE The waves send a healing hum into your core, opening it, relaxing it. PAUSE And the soft vibrations deepen your relaxation. You feel your body is letting go, your mind letting go, into sleep. PAUSE The heart wave is sending its healing vibrations to your abdomen and lower back, letting them soften and gently give in. PAUSE Take a minute and indulge  in the buttery feeling your muscles are experiencing, as tension continues to dissolve.  PAUSE And now watch as the heart wave moves into your upper legs, those soldiers you stand on, now softening so that they feel cushy and relaxed. PAUSE And with another gentle breath, your heart wave expands into  the knees and calves flowing like gentle water, moving tension and stress away. PAUSE Now, see if you can imagine  the heart wave radiating gently  into your ankles and feet, taking pressure off of them, so they feel open and relaxed. PAUSE Now give yourself permission to acknowledge that your body is letting go,  releasing into relaxation.
