Relaxation Ritual
Preliminary Preparation: See that you will remain undisturbed during your ritual: Unplug your phone or put it on Silent, inform others in your home that you do not wish to be disturbed, etc.
1. Sit or lay in a place where you will not be disturbed for at least ten minutes. Get comfortable. Your arms and legs should not be crossed. If you're sitting, your back should be straight; rest your hands, palms up, in your lap. Close your eyes.
2. Visualize a golden ball of beautiful, warm light surrounding your feet. The ball of golden warm light always brings peace and total relaxation. Wherever the ball goes, tension departs. Let it go, and as it goes, feel your feet filled with the warm, golden glow of peace and total relaxation.
3. Now allow this ball of light to rise up your legs and up to your torso. Then allow it to go down your arms to your fingers, and finally up to your neck and into your head until you are completely covered with the warm, golden glow of total peace and relaxation, and all tension is gone. If you notice tension anywhere, send the ball there and the tension will vanish.
4. Stay in this state of deep relaxation for a few moments. (Don't fall asleep!)
5. When you're ready to come out of this state of deep relaxation, take three deep breaths and feel fresh life and energy coming into your body with each breath. Know that you can return to this state whenever you like, simply by doing this relaxation ritual.
NOTE: If you're having trouble sleeping, try this ritual when you lay down at night instead of suffering or taking sleeping pills. Be at one with yourself.
