Take a deep, comfortable breath in through your nose, feeling the cool air flow in. And as you exhale, allow your body to settle more deeply into its supporting surface, like sinking into warm sand. With each breath, you can allow your muscles to soften and release, melting like snow in gentle sunlight.
Starting at the crown of your head, feel a wave of relaxation flowing downward. Let it dissolve any tension in your scalp and forehead. Feel your eyebrows becoming soft and heavy. Your eyelids are becoming so relaxed, so comfortable.
Notice the gentle rise and fall of your chest, like peaceful waves on a quiet shore. Feel the weight of your body becoming heavier with each exhalation, as if you're being embraced by a cloud of pure comfort.
Let that relaxation flow down through your neck, dissolving any tension it finds. Your shoulders can release completely now, dropping away from your ears. Feel that peaceful sensation flowing down your arms, through your elbows, into your wrists and hands. Each finger can relax, becoming soft and heavy.
Your mind can begin to quiet, like the surface of a lake becoming still at sunset. And as your thoughts slow down, you might notice a sense of peaceful calm beginning to emerge, like stars appearing in an evening sky.
Let that wave of relaxation continue flowing down through your torso. Feel your chest and abdomen becoming soft and peaceful. Your back muscles can release completely into the surface supporting you.
With each breath, you're drifting deeper and deeper, like slowly descending through crystal-clear water. The relaxation flows down through your hips, your thighs, your knees. Feel it moving into your calves, your ankles, your feet. Even your toes can relax completely now.
Your entire body is becoming so peaceful, so tranquil. With every breath, you sink twice as deep into this wonderful state of relaxation. Deeper and deeper, safer and more peaceful with each passing moment.
