Using the progressive relaxation induction technique, you focus on gradually relaxing muscles over every part of your body. This relaxation helps you to go into trance. Begin by simply closing your eyes and taking a few deep breaths. Exhaling body tension.

Then simply let go.Use your senses to visualise the change even more. Count up to wake up.
