Shealy SELF-HEALTH Day #7

Day #7 of the Relaxation chapter is titled "Talk To Your Body."  

Assume your relaxed position. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath slowly in and out.

Begin by systematically thinking of the various parts of your body. Take slow deep breaths.

Say each statement twice.

As you breathe in, say to yourself:

I relax…..

As you breathe out say to yourself

…my scalp.

REPEAT

As you breathe in, say to yourself:

I relax…..

As you breathe out say to yourself
…my scalp.

CONTINUE AND REPEAT with each part of the body

I relax…. my face.   I relax…. my face

I relax…my neck.    I relax…my neck.

I relax…my shoulders.  I relax…my shoulders.

I relax…my arms.  I relax…my arms.

I relax…my hands.  I relax…my hands.

I relax…my chest.  I relax…my chest.

I relax…my abdomen.  I relax…my abdomen.

I relax…my back.  I relax…my back.

At the end take a deep breath, opening your eyes and stretching comfortably to feel all parts of your body awakening.
