We are ready now for a period of relaxation.

Move your body so it can be in a comfortable position with your spine straight, your palms facing up, and your feet flat on the floor.

Slowly close your eyes and start to breathe slowly, deeply and rhythmically.

Take a moment to get settled.

Continue to breathe deeply as you proceed with your meditation.

I will help you attain a relaxation level where you will be mentally awake, but your body will be comfortably asleep. Count from one to ten. Remember, the higher the number the more deeply relaxed you become.

One…
Two…
Three…
Four… feel the sounds and energy in your body.
Five…
Six…
Seven… the boundaries of your body are gently disappearing.
Eight…
Nine…
Ten…

Your mind is awake and your physical body asleep.

Your mind has expanded beyond the boundaries of your body, free from physical tension and constraints where you can experience profound insights and life-transforming breakthroughs.

Imagine a place where you feel peaceful and truly yourself. Use all your senses.

My place of peace is in a meadow by a running brook, flowers are all around. Red rock formations are in the background, birds are singing. The sound of water splashing on the rocks, the smell of spring flowers. There is a slight breeze on my face. What do you see? What colors are there? What do you smell? What sounds do you hear? What do you feel touching you? What emotions do you feel? Feel the vibe, the peace that is here. Make it as real as possible.

And in this place of peace, imagine that coming toward you is YOU at your fullest potential. Use all of your senses. What are you really like? What qualities do you have within that reflect themselves to you now? What do you look like? Can you list the qualities of your fullest potential, the love and intelligence that you are? Can you feel the power, the goodness and the gift of life that you bring? Can you see this potential unfolding in everything you’ve learned so far? Do you see the mission and the courage and the path you are taking? Get a sense of it for a minute. Tune in. Can you talk to your full potential self? Can you get the message? Does your full potential self have a particular message for you now? How are you doing in your life?

You’ll find that you can come back anytime you want to enjoy the peace of this place and commune with your full potential self. As we count down from ten to one you will be aware of an inner calm, a profound connection to your true self. You will retain an inner knowing of who you are as you live your daily life. Count from ten down to one. When we reach one you will be wide awake both physically and mentally, rested, relaxed and alert.

Ten…
Nine…
Eight…
Seven… You’ll be wide awake and rested when we reach the count of one.
Six…
Five…
Four…
Three…
Two…
One…

You are wide awake and alert.
