The full script

Lie down if you can, and let the floor or bed take all your weight.
Take a few slow breaths, letting each out-breath be long.
Bring your attention to your toes. Simply notice them.
Imagine a soft light gathering there, warm and gentle.
The light spreads through the soles of your feet.
Into your heels and ankles. Let them soften.
It moves slowly up your calves. They grow heavy.
Your knees relax. The backs of your knees soften.
The light fills your thighs. They sink down.
Your hips loosen and settle.
Warmth spreads through your lower back.
Let your belly be soft. Let it rise and fall naturally.
The light glows in your chest, around your heart.
Your upper back melts into the surface beneath you.
Your shoulders let go. They do not have to carry anything now.
The light flows down your arms.
Through your elbows, your forearms, your wrists.
Into your palms and each finger. They tingle softly.
Your neck lengthens and relaxes.
Your jaw loosens. Your tongue rests.
Your cheeks soften. Your eyes are heavy and still.
Your forehead smooths out.
The light rests at the very top of your head.
Now your whole body is glowing, warm and calm.
Rest here. If sleep comes, let it.
If you are staying awake, take your time to come back slowly.
