I'd like you to close your eyes and imagine yourself soaking in a lovely warm bath full of bubbles.
Feel the warmth of the water caressing your body,
Easing away any tension,
Relaxing you,
Soothing you gently all over.
You begin to feel heavy and comfortable,
Enjoying the luxury of having absolutely nothing to do but relax and let go.
Feel the warmth and heaviness spreading up over your body,
Starting with your toes and feet and gradually working its way up into your legs.
Feel warmth flowing into your tummy as your abdomen rises and falls and your breathing is calm and regular as you relax your chest and your shoulders feel loose and limp.
So relax.
That's right.
And let the arms relax as the warmth and comfort flow down from your shoulders and you just let go.
Just enjoy this wonderful feeling.
Your neck and throat relax as do all the little facial muscles and the eyes become heavy,
Almost closed but not quite because from hooded lids I want you to notice a bubble in your bath,
Just one particular bubble that reflects beautiful colors from the glints of sunlight that streams in through a nearby window.
The bubble contains all the colors of the rainbow,
So much deeper in hue,
So clear and pristine.
The beautiful mauves change into a beautiful sapphire blue and in an instant to a brilliant shade of red,
Then yellow and gold and emerald green.
As you keep your mind focused on this ever-changing array of colors,
I want you to imagine your bubble expanding,
Growing bigger and even more delicate than before and as you do,
Notice how the heaviness has gone and you can now imagine yourself leaving your body through the crown of your head floating up and over the bath and see how your bubble has grown.
That's right.
Now as you rest here,
Very comfortable and very relaxed,
I want you to float to a staircase,
A beautiful staircase with a polished ornate banister running down alongside a deep rich carpet that feels soft to the touch underneath your bare feet.
As you look down the stairs,
Notice that there are ten steps leading gently down,
Ten steps leading gently down and down and down.
That's right.
These are the steps that will lead you deep into dream time,
Deep into relaxation.
In a moment,
I'd like you to walk down those steps and I will count them off for you one at a time and you will find that the deeper down you go,
The more comfortable and the more relaxed you will become.
So when you're ready to walk down the stairs,
I want you to gently place your hand on the banister and begin to slowly descend the staircase as I count them off from ten to one.
Ten,
Deeply relaxed,
Deeply comfortable.
Nine,
Deeply relaxed,
Deeply comfortable.
Eight,
More and more and more relaxed.
Seven,
Six,
Five,
More and more and more relaxed.
Four,
Deeply relaxed,
Deeply comfortable.
Three,
More and more relaxed.
Two,
Almost at the bottom now,
Just one more step to go.
And one,
Going deeper and deeper,
Being the most relaxed you've ever been.
You are at ease and relaxed now and your subconscious mind is open and ready to receive exciting and positive suggestions.
From now on,
Starting this very moment,
You know yourself and are aware of who you are as a person of intelligence,
Creativity,
Strength,
Confidence and success.
You know what you like,
You know what you need in your life and what you want.
You have the confidence and the ability to take on any task,
Believing in yourself and being positive gives you the confidence that you need to achieve anything that you imagine yourself having,
Doing and being.
On attempting something new,
The first things that come into your mind are the words,
I can do this.
You know that what you can conceive with your mind,
Your mind can also achieve.
Just because you haven't done something before or you haven't used a particular skill in a while doesn't stop you.
Just because you may not know how to do something doesn't deter you because you know that doing new things is fun.
You realize that doing things you haven't done before is how you grow as a person.
You are open-minded,
You move ahead with confidence that you will succeed.
You are in harmony with yourself and with the universe.
Your own beliefs,
Values,
Wants and needs are right for you.
Others expectations and needs are not important to you.
You recognize that others expectations and needs are their responsibility and from this moment on you will exercise your right to be you.
From this moment on you will automatically maintain your sense of self and your awareness of what you believe and want.
You will find that you easily stay in the present,
Paying attention to what you want and how you feel in that moment.
You automatically maintain your own personal space and your boundaries separate from others energies.
You are confident because you know you are a winner.
You manage your life skillfully,
Confidently and with ease because you believe in yourself.
Now I'm going to count you out of your trance state,
Back to reality feeling refreshed,
Alert and ready to enjoy the rest of your day in a positive and happy manner.
