Autogenic relaxation. Autogenic relaxation simply focuses on 2 aspects of the relaxation response. Increased blood flow and decrease muscular tension. It does this by concentrating on two things that we feel when relaxing. Warmth, which is what we feel when more blood gets to the extremities of our bodies, such as the arms, legs, hands and feet. And heaviness, which is what we feel when the muscles are relaxed. Remember that you cannot will yourself to relax. Relaxation involves not forcing anything. Just let yourself go.

Track 4 - Self-Hypnosis for tension.mp3 Text Alternative

Transcript 

Self hypnosis for pain. This tape has been made especially to help you cope with the pain that you experience from day-to-day. First, I want you to sit down in a comfortable position. Put some cushions behind your back. Sit or lie in. A posture that you find as comfortable as possible. Make sure that you will not be interrupted for about 15 minutes. And that the room is relatively warm, quiet and comfortable. And that there is not too much light coming in through the windows. I want you to just listen to my voice now. Listen to my voice. Sit back. Close your eyes. And just do. Everything that I tell you. I'm going to help you deal with the pain in a more efficient way. Just to help you cope a little better. I want you to place your left hand on your stomach. And your right hand on top of your left hand. That's good. What I want you to do. Is to breathe deeply. As you breathe in, I want you to notice your stomach rising. Followed by your ribs and chest. Breathe in, almost pushing your stomach out to start with. Hold for a couple of moments. Before you slowly breathe out. Letting your chest go down first. Then your ribs. Then your stomach. I want you to imagine that there is a bottle or pouch underneath your hands. And as you breathe in. The bottle fills up from the bottom. So your stomach rises first, followed by your ribs and chest. Filling up the bottle with air. Hold for a moment. And then breathe out. I want you to fill up the bottle as much as you. Can. So you're breathing in very deeply. And then breathing out very slowly. So now we will start. Hands on your stomach. Now breathe in. Feeling your stomach go up. Hold your breath. And then relax breathing out. Emptying the bottle of air. Breathing in. And then relax. Breathing out. Filling up the bottle again. Hold it. And then relax. Do this two more times. Breathing in. Filling up the bottle. And then emptying it. Breathing in deeply. And breathe out slowly. Now I want you to stop breathing so deeply. Forget the bottle now and just breathe slowly and comfortably at a regular pace that you find acceptable. I want you now just to relax. Relax all the muscles in your. Body as much as you can. Get totally comfortable. Breathing slowly. And just calming down now. And listening to my voice. As you are listening to my voice. I want you to try and take everything in that I tell you. What I want you to do. Is think of the number 300. And I want you to slowly count backwards from 300. Count backwards from 300 slowly to yourself. But try to listen to my voice at the same time. As you are slowly counting backwards from 300. Your whole body is now slowly starting to relax. You're listening to my voice and you just feel yourself your body. And mind. Just starting to slowly sink a little bit. And you'll notice now just a slight heaviness. Just a little more deeply relaxed feeling. And the muscles around the back of your neck and shoulders. A soothing, calm sensation. All the way down your back. Your arms. To your hands. Your chest. All the way down to the stomach. The heaviness? Still counting and listening to my voice. This heaviness spreads to your hips. And a warmth overtakes your legs. Your thighs. Your knees. And calf muscles. And your feet. Just let the feeling. Come over you. And then. You're going to start to feel drowsy. A little heavier around the face. As the muscles start to relax with the rest of your body. Still counting and listening to my voice. Your head feels much more soothed. More relaxed in the cheeks. Muscles around the mouth were relaxed. Just let them sink down. You'll notice that your eyes. Are just becoming heavier. And heavier. And heavier. And sleepy. Just let yourself drop off. Let yourself go. Listening to my voice all the time. But just letting yourself sink deeper. And deeper. Into a more relaxed state of mind. Your eyes becoming more deeply shut now. You're feeling the drowsiness and heaviness coming over your face. So that you are now. Totally relaxed. Totally calm. Still counting. And listening to my voice. That's good. Stop counting. Continue to listen to my voice. I want you to use your mind to let yourself think deeper down in body and mind. To a much deeper. Relaxed state. With every number you hear. Now from 1:00 to 5:00. You will feel yourself sinking down. Almost drifting away now. Drifting away. Your body becoming heavier now. And warmer. With every number that you hear. Just let yourself go. Let your body go a little more with every number. Sinking down more deeply. Much more deeply. Feel the heaviness. And the warmth. Starting to take over your body. You will notice the muscles that are sagging down in your face. Your head is feeling just a little heavier. With the muscles in your neck relaxed more. Becoming much more soothed. As you become more relaxed. As if someone is massaging your shoulders. Easing the tension. Just making your shoulders drop. And down. Into a much more relaxed state. The tension has eased away. Muscles become much looser. More lint. And slack. Your shoulders drop down. And feel a little heavier. Your arms become. Warmer at the top. And this feeling spreads down to your forearms. Your wrists. Your hands. And all the way down to your hands and fingers. And your arms just flop. Let the muscles go. And as you start to breathe more easily. And deeply. And slowly. And calmly. You'll notice that the muscles around your chest are quite relaxed. Loose muscles. Letting you expand your chest. Breathing in. And out. As slowly. And calmly as you want to. Very relaxed. Let this feeling come down. Down towards your stomach now. Just let your stomach relax. And your chest. All the way down to your stomach. Just let the mussels go. Let the tension go away. Let your mussels unwind into a loose, relaxed state. Enjoy these feelings. That are taking over the top half of your body. From your stomach. Down into your hips and your legs. Your thighs and knees. Just let the heaviness flow down. Let your legs sink down. Becoming warmer. Much more comfortable. Just let the muscles go. Your thighs. Your knees. Your legs feeling easier. And then down into your calf muscles all the way down into your ankles. Let the muscles become limp and slack. And let the feet totally relax. As all the last remaining tension just drains out of your body. You are so relaxed now. As I count slowly from 1:00 to 5:00 again. You're gradually going to become aware of a beach. And by the time you hit 5. You will be fully aware of this speech. You now notice high above you. The beautiful sun keeping your body warm. Passing over you from your feet. All the way over your body to your face. Helping you to stay relaxed and calm. You will also notice blue skies. Cloudless blue skies, in which all the clouds have drifted away. Drifted away. Leaving the sky blue and clear. You were all so aware of palm trees. A branch is hanging idly in the still air. Just savour the atmosphere of this place. The waves lap against the beach. Very slowly and calmly. Back and forth. Washing in. And out. Very easily. The water moves up and down the beach. The sea birds climb gracefully high above. Just enhance your feeling of relaxation. Enhance your feeling of relaxation as you lie back. Enjoying these feelings of relaxation in your body. I just want you to use your mind for a few moments. To think over the things that I'm telling you. Just think of your body being on the beach. On the warm white sand. And I want you to just listen to what I'm telling you now. It is very important now you are relaxed. To understand the discomfort, which is very often caused and always aggravated by pain. Consequently, as you become more relaxed and less tense. So you are beginning to feel more comfortable. More relaxed. And calm. And as this relaxation increases and deepens. The pain is gradually becoming easier. And easier. And presently. You'll feel so utterly and completely relaxed. The pain will almost seem to disappear completely. Feel the warmth in your body now. On the beach. Far, far away. In a beautiful place. I'm going to count very slowly from 1:00 to 7:00. And as I can from 1:00 to 7:00. I want you to just slowly get up from the beach and walk away. Leaving that calm, relaxed place. But bringing the feelings of relaxation? Tranquilly and peacefulness with you? Slowly bring your body and mind gradually back to the room that you are sitting in. And when you hear the number 7. I want you to open your eyes and wake up. And enjoy these feelings of relaxation. Feeling physically and mentally refreshed. Open your eyes. Just wake up now. And slowly get used to the light in the room. Staying relaxed and calm. Waking up. Having enjoyed carrying out this exercise. I want you to carry out this exercise regularly. And to enjoy getting some relief from your pain with each exercise. Every time you carry it out. You'll find you'll. Be able to manage your pain more. And more easily each time. This is now the end of the exercise. 

Track 5 - Red spot relaxation.mp3 Text Alternative

Transcript 

Red spot relaxation. You need to find yourself a comfortable place. Either sitting in a chair or lying on a bed. Settle into the chair if you're going to sit. And make sure that your head is supported by the back of the chair. Uncross your legs and rest your arms on the. Arms of the chair. Or if you're lying on the bed. Just let the bed take your weight. Looking up ahead of you find a small spot to concentrate on. I want you to fix your eyes onto the small spot in your line of sight. Fix your eyes on this small spot and don't let them drift away for the next few minutes. As you stare at this spot, you are going to notice one or two strange changes in it. It may disappear, it may come out at you. It might multiply into two or three. Or the background round, it might change in colour or shape. That's a good sign. It's a sign of relaxing. Just keep your eyes firmly on the spot. You'll also find it will be harder to keep your eyes open, and if you prefer to close your eyes, just let them close. Otherwise, keep them firmly fixed on the spot. If there's a voice inside your head. Commenting on this relaxation exercise. Just let that fade away and try only to hear my voice. Keep your eyes firmly fixed on the spot. I want you to be aware of how the tips of your fingers and thumbs are feeling at the moment. Whether they're hot or cold. And I want you to imagine now a small red spot appearing at the tips of your fingers and thumbs. And they're ever so slightly warmer than they were a minute ago. And as I talk, the spot will start to spread through the tips of your fingers and down through the very middle of your fingers. Through the skin and bone. And as it spreads, it warms you up ever so slightly. And takes the tension away. This warm red glow. Is now spreading down through your fingers. Taking tension away. Your fingers are becoming more and more relaxed. As the seconds tick by. This feeling spreads through your fingers and into your knuckles. Across the backs and palms of your hands. And through the very middle of your hands. Relieving any tension. And as each second passes, you become. More and more relaxed. This feeling spreading through your hands now and into your wrists and slowly into your forearms. A warm red glow spreading through every muscle fibre taking tension away. A warm, relaxing feeling. With each passing 2nd, your arms becoming heavier and heavier. More and more relaxed. More and more supported. By the arms of the chair or by the bed. The feeling is spreading into your elbows now. Through your elbows and into your upper arms. Taking tension away. And relaxing. Slowly spreading up through your arms and towards your shoulders. I want you to shift now in your mind's eye, to be aware of how the tips of your toes are feeling. Whether they are hot or cold. And out with your fingers. There's a warm red. Spot appearing at the tips of each of your toes. Ever so slightly warmer than they were a few moments ago. And as I speak. This starts to spread. This warm red glow. Through your toes. Warming and relaxing you. Taking the tension away. Through your toes and into your feet. Across the soles of your feet, warming and relaxing you. A nice feeling. The feet feel loose and heavy. This feeling is spreading around your heels. And then to your ankles now. Slowly through your ankles and into your legs. Climbing your legs and towards your knees as if your legs have been dipped into warm water. It's a nice feeling. Spreading right through the middle of your legs into every muscle fibre. Taking tension away, making the legs feel heavier and heavier. More and more relaxed. The feeling spreading up and into your knees now. Through your knees. And slowly spreading along the top part of your legs, getting into every muscle fibre. Your legs feeling loose and heavy. Through every passing second, they get heavier and heavier. More and more relaxed. The warm red glow is slowly spreading to the top of your legs. And around your bottom and around your front. Warming and relaxing you. Taking tension away. The warm red glow is now on the small of your back. The base of your spine. Taking the tension away slowly. Releasing you so that you become more and more relaxed. And it's spreading outwards from your spine. Outwards from the centre and base of your back. And spreading round and into your tummy. As it slowly climbs your back. It spreads out from the middle of your back and into your ribs. You're now between your ribs and into the tiny muscles and your ribs and tiny muscles across your back. Warming and relaxing you. You're feeling loose and heavy. Fully supported by the chair or by the bed. As it spreads slowly through your chest, I want you to be aware of your breathing. Notice how the air feels in your throat and in your nostrils. Notice how it feels cooler as you breathe in and slightly warmer as you breathe out. The warmth of the red glow spreads through your chest. And notice how that every time you breathe out, you sink a little more into the chair or into the bed. Just a fraction. Just a little more as you breathe out. Slowly sinking. Becoming more and more relaxed. The warm red glow, having spread right into your chest now and into your shoulders. Across the front and back of your shoulders. So easy to be tense there. Just letting the tension drift away. Now into the back of your neck. Again, so easy to be tense there. Letting the tension drift away. As the warmth takes that tension away. You notice how much more heavily your head rests back. The warm red glow spreading around the front of your neck now. Rising into your jaw. Through your jaw. Towards your mouth and into your lips. It's a nice feeling spreading through your lips into the tiny muscles, taking tension away. And across your nose and into your cheeks. And around your eyes. So easy to pretence there too. Tension just drifting away. Spreading across your scalp and around your ears so that the whole of your body has now been covered in this warm red glow. And if you haven't already closed your eyes, just let them close now. In your mind's eye. I want you to imagine yourself standing at the top of 10 steps. You see them stretching out before you. In a moment, I'm going to count you down those steps. And at the. Bottom you will reach your favourite place. Somewhere far away from it all. Where you can feel relaxed and rested. Perhaps it's a beach. Or out in the country. Somewhere only you know about, or perhaps a paradise. Somewhere only you can imagine. And it's there at the bottom of. The 10 steps. With each step you take, that place will get nearer. By the time you reach the 10th step, you'll be sitting in a chair in that favourite place. Take the first step now. And the second. And the third. And the 4th. And the 5th. Drifting away now. And the 6th. And the 7th. And the 8th. And the 9th and now the 10th step. And you're sitting in the chair, far away from any stresses and strains. In your favourite place. Just noticed the sounds and the smells of that favourite scene. Notice the warmth of the air around you and how good it is to be there. Notice how relaxed you are becoming sitting down far away from it all. This is a good rest. Like a good holiday. Not a care in the world. This is a rest away from it all. If any stresses or strains have been troubling you, imagine that they are all concentrated in a dark cloud above you. And slowly. On the breeze, the cloud is disappearing. The breeze blows it away. In a moment. You are going to leave this place. But you're going to take with you that sense that you've had a good rest. You are going to take that with you for the whole of the rest of the day. When you leave. I'll count you back up the steps. And by the time you reach the top step. You'll open your eyes and we will end the exercise. But you'll take with you that sense of a good rest, and take that with you for the whole of the rest of the day. Leaving that scene now. Take the 10th step. And the 9th. And the 8th. And the 7th. And the 6th. And the 5th. And the 4th. And the third. And the second. And the first. You are now feeling. Open your eyes. And gently move your arms and legs. This restful feeling will now stay with you for the whole of the rest of the day. And this is the end of the relaxation exercise.
