Speaker 1 (00:09):
Many people experience night terrors and struggle with how to
get rid of nightmares. This relaxation exercise uses guided imagery
and visualization to help return your mind to a peaceful,
RESTful state, free of fear after experiencing a nightmare. Let's

(00:34):
begin the relaxation exercise. Perhaps you have just had a nightmare,
or maybe you are getting ready to sleep and want
to fill your mind with peaceful images. Or perhaps you
have woken up in the night and want to get

(00:54):
back to sleep. Maybe you just want to promote positive
mental images to help you relax. Whatever the case may be,
this relaxation to get rid of nightmares can help to
create a peaceful mental state. Positive images can help to

(01:17):
get rid of nightmares. This guided imagery will help get
rid of nightmares and create a positive place in your mind.
Positive visualization can create this place. Imagine a place that
is perfectly safe and very comfortable. Imagine what this place

(01:46):
would be like. Create an image in your mind of
all the details of a safe, peaceful place. With this
image and mind, begin to relax your body. Fear creates tension,

(02:12):
and to get rid of nightmares, it is important to
decrease this tension. Start by noticing where the tension is
in your body. Pay close attention to your shoulders, neck, back, hands,

(02:38):
and jaws. These are areas where tension tends to build up.
Once you have located the tension in your body, choose
one area to relax first. Focus your attention on this
area and conciously allow the muscles to relax and soften,

(03:07):
becoming loose. Breathe, imagining that your breath brings relaxation to
this area. Feel the tension leave as you breathe out.
Breathe in relaxation, and breathe out tension. Keep breathing, letting

(03:41):
your breaths be slow and regular. Notice that the area
you are focusing on is more relaxed than it was before.
See how you have the ability to relax your muscles.

(04:07):
Feel your muscles relaxing further. Notice your jaws relaxing, becoming loose,
your mouth resting comfortably, with your teeth slightly apart. Feel

(04:28):
your neck and shoulders relaxing and your shoulders getting lower
as the muscles give up their hold. Allow your hands
to relax, resting open, loose, relaxed. Feel your back relax

(05:06):
all the muscles become soft and loose. To get rid
of nightmares. Let's create a positive image to focus on.
Imagine that you are at a luxurious resort where you

(05:28):
are completely safe and cared for. Your room is spacious, sunny,
and comfortable. In this place, you have no worries. There
is nothing you need to do. You're here just to

(05:54):
relax and take time for yourself. The room you are
staying in is very luxurious. You have a large space
with everything you need kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room. Picture

(06:21):
being in a large room that is just for relaxation
and enjoyment. This room is your own private escape. Here
is a warm pool, a soft, comfortable lounge chair, plants,

(06:49):
and large windows. The sun streams through the windows, making
the pool sparkle. Take in this scene, imagining this lovely place.

(07:12):
Though this room is indoors, the plants and pool create
an almost outdoors feel. Through the windows, you can see
a beautiful view. Imagine where your resort is located. What

(07:33):
do you see outside? Your resort can be anywhere you like,
by the ocean and the mountains, on a golf course,
an oasis in the desert. Your resort can be anywhere

(07:55):
you like. Imagine the picturesque view you would see out
the windows. The room is warm, with a soft breeze
created by silent fans. Imagine yourself here in this safe, luxurious,

(08:24):
beautiful place. You may see yourself walking toward the pool
or sitting in the lounge chair. Here you can do
whatever you wish. I'll pause for one minute. For the

(08:48):
next minute, imagine the relaxing things you can do here
and create a picture in your mind of you relaxing
in this piece full place. Now, imagine resting on the

(10:01):
lounge chair. Feel the sun shining down as you become
warm and relaxed. The chair is very soft, and as
you recline, laying back and closing your eyes, you feel

(10:22):
so at peace. You are so comfortable here. Feel yourself
sinking into the lounge chair, sinking deeper into relaxation. Notice
the peaceful thoughts that are filling your mind. See that

(10:48):
by focusing on these thoughts they become stronger, filling your
consciousness with peace. The peaceful thoughts are very clear, increasing
in clarity as you focus. All other thoughts and concerns

(11:12):
are far away. Right now, as you sleep, your mind
can remain in this positive place. Feel yourself drifting off
to sleep, filled with peaceful, pleasant thoughts, beautiful, serene dreams

(11:38):
occupy your consciousness. Calm, peace relaxed thoughts that enter your
awareness can pass lazily through your mind like clouds drifting by.

(12:05):
You don't need to focus especially on any of them.
You are so calm allow your thoughts to pass without
dwelling on them. You can get rid of nightmares by

(12:29):
allowing the negative images and thoughts to leave your mind
as they are replaced by images of the peaceful resort
in your imagination. Turn your attention again to the pool

(12:50):
allouch chair you imagined. See this peaceful place just for you.
Only pleasant thoughts remain here. This place is a retreat
from all stresses and worries. Any time worried thoughts arise,

(13:15):
focus again on the resort, a luxurious, safe place where
you can get away from the life stresses, get rid
of nightmares, and just relax. See all the details of

(13:38):
this place. You can picture yourself enjoying the pool and sunroom,
or having a warm bath and a jacuzzi tub. Perhaps
you imagine getting into a large, soft, comfortable bed and

(14:01):
having an app Your suite has a variety of things
for you to enjoy, and as a place just for you,
where you can relax. Relax here, resting, enjoying this holiday,

(14:29):
fill your mind with happiness and peace. Now, if you
want to, you can drift off to sleep, ever so slowly,
drifting down into a pleasant, calm land of dreams, slipping

(14:56):
deeper and deeper. I'll count now from one to five.
When you reach five, you will be fully relaxed and sleep.
One becoming heavier, sleepy and relaxed. Two safe and warm,

(15:30):
comfortably floating, drifting relaxed. Three pleasant, peaceful, happy thoughts fill
in your mind. Four so deeply relaxed. Five drifting into

(16:00):
deep sleep, filled with pleasant dreams. Mm hmm
