Guided Relaxation
Getting Started: Guided relaxation is a stress-reducing technique that may be used to relax throughout the day to release tension and increase productivity. Here, you will find four recorded relaxations to choose from of varying lengths. You will need to be able to sit undisturbed for the amount of time allotted for each respective recording. When you are ready to begin, read the introduction to yourself, then click on a recording of your choice. Enjoy!

Introduction:
Prepare yourself to relax. Prepare yourself to experience calm... to feel quiet... to know peace. Find a comfortable position... begin to sink down... and be supported by your surrounding environment.
As you begin to relax, focus on your breathing naturally... easily. Inhale... and fill yourself with life-giving air. Exhale... and relax... allowing your body to sink... breathing in... and breathing out.
Begin to withdraw your thoughts from your surroundings... and to center your focus inward on the peace... and the stillness within you. Prepare yourself with an attitude of passive attention... alert but quiet... aware... yet at peace...
(This introductory script was inspired by Don Tubesing’s relaxation script, "Heavy.")

"No matter how much pressure you feel at work, if you could find ways to relax for at least five minutes every hour, you’d be more productive."
