The Genie Within: Your Subconscious Mind (9 page)

Look up at about an angle of 20 degrees and stare at a spot. Raising your eyes helps attain the alpha state. Now close your eyes and listen to my voice
.

  Right now, you desire to experience the feeling of deep relaxation...You desire to be more relaxed than you have ever been before. Deep relaxation is healthy...it allows your body to nourish and heal itself...deep relaxation allows your mind to refresh itself
.

You are breathing deeply and slowly...ever so slowly
.

Relaxation is easy...all you have to do is to just let go...just let go...just let your body go limp...let your muscles relax
.

With deep relaxation comes the feeling of heaviness and warmth...friendly warmth...and calmness...and pleasantness. You are feeling heavier now. You are letting go...letting go
.

Visualize a ball of warm, white light. Just seeing it gives you a warm, pleasant feeling. Visualize this ball of white light entering your body at your feet. As this light enters your body, your toes become heavier...Feel each toe in turn relax...sense a warmth penetrating into your feet. Now allow your feet to relax. Feel them pressing on the floor. Now this ball of light and this feeling of heaviness and warmth moves up across you ankles...and your calves…and your thighs. Your legs are now relaxed
.

This peaceful ball of light and this wave of relaxation now moves into your hips. The heaviness feeling is pleasant...and feels gooood. Deep, deep healthful relaxation. Just let go...let go...let your body relax. Let you body and mind attain a healthy, natural state
.

Now this ball of warm friendly light enters your torso, and you feel deep, penetrating relaxation creep up your back. Your back muscles are now relaxed...sooo relaxed. Feel them relax and become heavy. Feel your shoulders slump as they become heavier and heavier. Now, relax the muscles of your stomach and chest. And as you do, feel your torso increase in weight...pulling you down under the push of gravity. Your body is now completely relaxed. It feels wonderful...just let go...let go completely. All of your internal muscles are relaxed
.

Now visualize this ball of warm heavy light flowing into your head and arms. Relax your neck muscles. Feel your neck become heavier and more relaxed. Maintain just enough muscle tone to keep your neck in a comfortable position. Feel this relaxation move down through your arms and into your fingers...all the way to your fingertips. Your arms are completely relaxed...your fingers are completely relaxed now. They are limp...Your fingers are limp and heavy
.

Now you allow this feeling of relaxation to spread up through your jaw. Feel your jaw muscles relax. Feel your throat and tongue relax and all internal dialog quiets. And lastly, feel your scalp relax
.

You are completely relaxed now...every muscle...every cell in your body is relaxed. You feel comfortable...you feel contented. This is such a pleasant state...soooo pleasant...soooo relaxing...soooo comfortable. Your entire body relishes this feeling...you relish this state of deep relaxation in the alpha state
.

With each breath, you are more and more relaxed. With each breath, you feel better, more at ease and happier. Now visualize a pleasant scene...see yourself on the beach of a beautiful tropical island. Feel the warmth of the sun on your body. Feel the warmth of the sand on your bare feet. Feel the warm sand oozing between your toes as you press your feet into the soft, forgiving sand. See yourself sitting in a soft, luxurious lounge chair...you feel completely comfortable...completely at rest. Gaze out at the ocean. The water is calm and serene. There are gentle ocean swells that are in rhythm with your breathing...a slow, relaxing rhythm. As you breathe out, let go of tiny bits of tension that lingered in your
body. Each time you exhale, a little more tension melts and flows out of your body. Each time you exhale...you are more and more relaxed
.

Smell the fresh salt air...feel the soft touch of the warm tropical breeze. In the distance you hear sea gulls...you can see the sea gulls swooping up and down near the shoreline. You hear the whisper of the breeze passing through the fronds of the palm trees lining the beach. Watch the thin palm trees sway gently in the tropical breeze
.

Scoop up a fistful of sand and let it fall back on the beach. See how effortlessly it falls and forms a pile. The pile of sand is with total absence of resistance...there is a complete lack of tension
.

Your eyes feast on the vivid blues and greens of the warm, clear water in the shallows of the coral reefs. You are soooo relaxed...every muscle in your body is limp...every part of your body feels heavy and relaxed...You feel a nice warm glow throughout your body that is the result of perfect, unhindered circulation...brought about by perfect relaxation. Wallow in this feeling...relish this state of mind. Know it is a healthy state...and that your body is rejuvenating itself...energizing itself...healing itself...easily and effortlessly
.

Each time you relax...each time you go to this state which is your sanctuary...relaxation is easier and easier. Each time you practice deep relaxation, you relax faster and to a deeper healthy mental state...each time the feelings are deeper and more enjoyable. Each time you practice deep relaxation you reach a place where you are poised, happy, and feel healthier
.

Noises or other distractions only act as signals to relax you more. Every time you hear a noise, you go deeper into your sanctuary and become ever more relaxed. All tension is melted away. You are completely relaxed...serene...happy...content
.

In any emergency, you are alert and active. Your subconscious mind instantly recognizes an emergency and immediately brings you to an alert state
.

You are in a natural, healthy, alpha state of mind...open to healthy, positive suggestions. Your mind only accepts suggestions
that are positive, for your and everyone else’s highest good
.

You return to this relaxed feeling...to your sanctuary every time you think of the word “ALPHA,” with the intention of returning to this serene state of body and mind. The word alpha in ordinary conversation is just another word and is unrelated to this effect. The word “ALPHA” is effective only when you have the intent to completely relax your body and mind as it is now and enter this natural state of mind
.

Any time you wish to melt the tension from your body...any time and anywhere you wish to become more serene and calm, simply touch your thumb and forefinger together. Any time you want to be relaxed, touch your thumb and forefinger together. You associate this with the feeling of calmness...serenity...relaxation... happiness...poise...and just feeling good. Touching your thumb and forefinger together relaxes you. Any time and anywhere during the day you wish to relax...any time you wish to rid your body of tension, simply touch your thumb and forefinger together. Touching your fingers together is a signal that restores you to a state of complete poise
.

Now feeling wonderful...feeling relaxed...feeling healthy and whole...feeling rejuvenated...feeling rested and happy, begin to return to full wakefulness. On the count of “3” you are in the awake state and your eyes are open. “1”... “2”...feeling rested and joyful, “3”...you are awake and alert!
