... I would like you to simply allow your mind and your imagination drift…to wander…to roam about freely... feeling calm, relaxed and comfortable...
…I would like you to imagine that you are outdoors standing at the top of some steps leading to a tranquil relaxing garden…The sun is shining…gently warming your face…And a gentle breeze caresses your skin...and you can hear the distant call of birds chirping merrily…
…As you breath in you can smell the beautiful faint aroma of sweet flowers and plant life…
…You notice a set of 10 elegant marble steps...These steps look strong, safe and inviting…These steps lead down to the garden of relaxation…The closer you get to the garden of relaxation…so the deeper relaxed you become…
…In a few moments time I am going to count down from 10 to 1…And with each number I count from 10 to 1…I would like you to imagine that you take a step down…closer to the garden…and every step you take...you will feel deeper and deeper relaxed as you become closer and closer to this relaxing haven…So ready…
…10…Take your first step down…feeling calm and relaxed...
…9...Feeling more and more relaxed...
…8...
…7...Feeling deeper and deeper relaxed as you take another step down...
…6...
…5...Feeling more and more relaxed as you can smell the garden more strongly…
…4...
…3...The chirping of the birds become louder and clearer...
…2...Feeling more and more relaxed…
…1...
…0...Feeling so deeply relaxed and at peace as you enter the beautiful tranquil garden…
…You can feel the softness of the grass beneath your feet...as you step into the garden…
…You have a good look around…The grass is a lush green…and the sky is a beautiful blue…You feel so relaxed and at peace that you decide to lie down on the grass…feeling the soft cooling grass on you back…and the gentle prickle on the back of your neck…
…You take a deep breathe…taking in all the wonderful scents and aromas that are all around you…and close your eyes…You just spend a few minutes relaxing more and more…You may relax so deeply that you drift off into a deep and relaxing sleep... and as you sleep...your mind may begin to wander…but no matter where your mind wanders to…my voice will travel with you…and your unconscious mind will absorb all the positive suggestions that I am about to give you…
