Take a deep breath in through the nose. Hold it for a second. Breathe out through the mouth and go limp. I can feel my body relaxing already. Do this relaxing breathing exercise three or four times.
Deep breathing is a very effective way of relaxing.
It also helps to lower the pulse rate. It will be easy for me to continue this deep breathing for the remainder of this session. From now on I will be able to concentrate on my thoughts. My mind will ignore any other noises, no matter how loud they may be. If someone wishes to talk with me or there is an emergency, I will awaken from this trance feeling totally refreshed and in full control of my mind and body.
