Down with High Blood Pressure (Preview 1: Relaxing Tension) - Dr. Miller Guided Imagery

And let yourself continue to breathe in this way, concentrating on breathing slowly, smoothly, and deeply, with a short pause after you've breathed in and a long pause after you've emptied your chest of air. And with each breath out, feel a feeling of letting go. Think to yourself the word down. And perhaps even picture the meter going down, down, down, down, down, with each breath out, thinking the word down. And really feel the air as it enters your body. Feel where it first touches your nostrils. Feel its coolness as it enters your body. Feel the cool air being breathed in. And after the pause, feel the warm air being breathed out. Focus on the warmth of that air as it leaves your body, repeating silently the word down with each breath out, each breath letting go of tension and heat from your body. Down. And anytime any unnecessary thoughts or distractions come along, Imagine with your next breath out that your nostrils are like two little exhaust pipes, and that as you exhale, you're breathing the unnecessary thoughts directly out of your mind, out through your nose, emptying your mind, relaxing your mind and body with each breath out. Down. Down. Down.
