How many time have we read or heard — it is important to relax, important for your thinking capacity, health, fact retention, taking tests, giving presentations, doing our daily work, when speaking, attracting and maintaining friendships and relationships.

Moreover, relaxation seems as important as drinking enough water in a day, as getting proper rest, and feeling so much better in every way. Let’s relax into prayer:

I take five enjoyable breaths and let go into greater relaxation. I relax my fingers, my brow, my mouth, and entire face. I let my scalp relax. My breathing becomes relaxed. With each breath, I relax my skin, muscles, thinking. I relax my attitude.

What’s more — in this moment life is the way it is. I can breathe, swallow, smile, believe in myself, and calm my thinking. I am calm in thought, focused on the present, knowing all is OK.

In the natural quietness of a calm mind and body, I enjoy the stillness and the peace inside me. I am also grateful for a calm and relaxed body. I relax my shoulders even more and anything else needing looseness and freedom from tension. I am relaxed and moving into greater peace. 

Where, I find peace inside my mind, in my heart center and relaxed body. I find peace in images of peace inside and out, images and sounds of a peaceful rain, music, and in the depth of infinite space.

I am peace here and in what I am being and knowing now. I witness peace in nature and within a flower, in a child’s smile and someone’s laughter. I am peace without doing anything, just as I am now in prayerful restfulness. I rest ……………………………………….

I practice rest in my body, thoughts and life experiences. I practice rest, I rest, I am peace.

I develop the habit of relaxing often in whatever I am doing or not doing. I rest from work, overthinking and doing. I alleviate concern, having to be right or worry about another.

For, I know God’s image and likeness indwells me and is who I am. Divine Spirit is the saving grace within and with my loved ones now and at all times throughout eternity. The earth is holy made. The planet of people are waking up more fully to the Divine light of their being.

All is very well with me and the world. In gratitude I am relaxed, Amen.
