A one-minute guided hypnosis/relaxation script by Jim Katsoulis that leads listeners through brief breathing exercises, progressive relaxation imagery (muscles as a dry sponge absorbing relaxation), and a quick awakening cue (finger snap) to end feeling refreshed.
This one minute hypnosis session to help you relax deeply, and you can begin using it by closing your eyes or defocusing them and using your peripheral vision. Relax your face, your shoulders, your chest and your stomach. Take a deep breath in.
And slowly let it out.
Take another deep breath in.
And slowly let it out.
Now bring your awareness inside your body and imagine the muscles in your body are like a dry sponge, and the relaxation is like the water. And you can imagine your muscles soaking up that relaxation, just like a sponge would absorb that water. And as you feel your muscles relaxing, especially in your eyes, shoulders and stomach area, you can feel this relaxation wash over you enjoyably and comfortably. Now, in a moment, I'm going to snap my fingers. When I do, you'll open your eyes feeling completely refreshed and relaxed. Eyes open, take a deep breath in and have a great day.
