And exhale slowly through your mouth, feeling your abdomen fall. With each breath, feel yourself sinking deeper into a state of calm and relaxation. Continue this deep mindful breathing, feeling each inhale, filling you with peace and each exhale releasing tension. We will now move through a progressive body relaxation. Bring your attention to your toes. Gently curl them, then release.

Move up to your feet, tensing and relaxing them. Continue this process tensing and then relaxing each area. Move through your calves. Thighs And hips. Progress to your lower back. Abdomin. Chest. And upper back. Continue to feel the tension release as you tense and then relax each area, allowing a wave of relaxation to flow through your body.

Now bring your awareness to your shoulders. Arms. Hands. And fingers. Focus your mind on a positive affirmation or intention you wish to manifest. This could be a personal goal or a state of being. Silently repeat your affirmation three times, feeling its presence in your mind and body. Let's move your awareness around your body. As I mentioned in each part, bring your focus to that area, feeling it relax.

Knee. calf. ankle. foot. toes. Now bring your awareness to different sensory points in your body. Feel the crown of your head, your ears, and the tip of your nose. Notice your lips, your chin, and your jaw. Feel the sensation of your breath as it enters and exits your nostrils. Sense your heart beating steadily in your chest.

Visualize your breath spreading calm and relaxation throughout your entire body. Now visualize yourself arriving at a serene mountain retreat. The air has crisp and clean, filled with the scent of pine trees. The sounds of nature surround you from the rustling leaves to the distant call of birds. Find a comfortable spot to sit and rest by a clear mountain stream. The water flows gently over the rocks creating a soothing rhythmic sound. As you sit, take in the sights and sounds of the retreat. The towering trees, the vibrant foliage, and the gentle flow of the stream. Feel the peace and tranquility of this place enveloping you. Allow the serene environment to deepen your sense of relaxation and calm.

Recall your affirmation. Silently repeat it three more times, feeling its truth resonate through your relaxed body and calm mind. Gradually bring your awareness back to the present moment. Notice the sounds around you, the feeling of the surface beneath you, and the air on your skin. Gently wiggle your fingers and toes. When you're ready, roll onto your right side resting in the fetal position for a few moments. When you feel ready, slowly press yourself up to a seated position.

Open your eyes, taking in your surroundings. Notice how calm and refreshed you feel after this journey. Thank you for joining this journey into non-sleep, deep rest. You can return to the NSDR podcast anytime you need a moment of calm and rejuvenation. I look forward to guiding you again, helping you find peace, relaxation, and renewal whenever you need it.
