Feel the sensations in your right hand thumb,

Index finger,

Middle finger,

Imagine a warm soothing light spreading from your right hand to your wrist,

Forearm and elbow.

Feel the tension melting away.

Now shift your awareness to your left hand repeating the process thumb,

Index finger,

Perhaps a serene beach,

A lush forest or a tranquil garden.

The gentle breeze and the soothing sounds around you.

Feeling their positive impact.

I am filled with boundless energy and vitality.

My mind is clear and focused.

I am ready to conquer the rest of my day with enthusiasm.

I slowly count backwards from 10 to 1.

With each number imagine yourself descending deeper into relaxation and energy restoration.

And as you reach 1,

Allow yourself to remain in this state of deep relaxation for a moment.

When you are ready,

Slowly begin to bring awareness back to your body and surroundings.

Gently wiggle your fingers and toes,

Stretch your arms and legs and when you are ready,

Open your eyes.
